what happened september 1st 2009

i cut off pretty much 5 inches of hair. i was supposed to cut of some more on november 1st but i did not.

i straightened my hair on october 30 for halloween which is the 31st. i was craving to do my hair and halloween was the perfect excuse now that thats over i got it out of my system and will probably not do my hair for another couple months hopefully. whenever i have the strong craving to do it i will. but for now i will limit it that if i have to do it the limit is once a month but really thats only if i have the strong urge to do it.

anyways i learned that doing k pak too much can break ur hair so i will limit myself to once a week for k pak and once a week for wash and 2 times a week for co wash.

anyways since i cut my hair its gron alot and its fuller so im thankful for that also sulfate washes limited to twice a moth i did it once this month to straighten my hair and i have to do it again probably tomorrow to wash my hair and get rid of cones.

and i will probably do my kpak tomorro aswell. all i know is that my mother will not be so happy with me once i wash my hair. but look it will have been 5 days that i use my hair straight and its starting to get greasy and smell like burn. also i would really like to cut off some more length another 4-5 inches sounds pretty good right about now.

ughh i want to cut my hair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ughhhh! i want to cut like 3 1/2 fingers of my hair but my mom says to wait in three weeks. i dont want to. i want to do it like this weekend! i am just conditioning and treating the dead parts of my hair for nothing and they are weighing my curls down for no reason. also i feel its harder for me to detangle my hair with this extra useless length. if it got curly like the other parts then i wouldnt complain but it doesnt... so its use less i dont want it.


also, this has nothing to do with hair but i have to read those damn books tomorrow.

ok im going to try and read the entire to kill a mocking bird tomorrow.
then the day after thatwhich is thursday i will read that little tin roof book. i hope i do it cause these things are at the back of my mind and its killing me. k bye

list of my personal cg dos and donts

yay list time!

good/do

1. alberto vo5 moisture milks passion fruit smoothie
2. gvp conditioning balm
3. bioterra curling creme

bad/dont

1. using my suave naturals conditioner with water as a leave in to put in my hair to fix second day hair. makes my hair abit greasy.
2. scrubbing in crazy rough motions to co wash(it will get just as clean if you are gentle) it gets to tangled which make my hair more prone to fall out when i detangle with my wide tooth comb.
3. when using gvp conditioning balm as rinse out/detangle let it sit for 2 min ish in damp hair then detangle. do not detangle on wet hair as soon as product is applied.

just an update. 5 days cg 8/15/09

so i checked my ticker and its been 5 days since starting cg. i have to say there is definite improvement. also, even though its only been such a short time i have learned alot about my hair and what and what not to do. in another post i will make a dos and dont list which i will continue to update as the time goes on. but anyways i think i will try water washing on some of the days that i dont co wash. i want to keep the washing to a min of 3 times a week or so. also when i washed my hair today it was so tangled i also think part of it had to do on how much movement and stuff from the cowash i lost alot of hairs but i know its my fault so i have learned my lesson also i tried using my suave ocean breeze mixed with water for second day hair as a leave in and it was the worst thing i couldve done. i will never do that again! later on in the day i will do another wash just because i used to much of my gvp cb as a leave in so that i could detangle my knotted ass hair and my hair is feeling slightly oily. and ughh i want to cut some of my damaged hair off but my mom insists on me waiting a couple of weeks to do this and think it over. but im convinced theres nothing to think about i want to cut it its not like i want it chen length either, but i just think the damaged hair is just a lost cause that needs to go and also it might be weighing my hair down for no good reason and its making it more difficult for me to really manage. ughhhh! anyways goodbye cause i have to start getting on everybodys case to get ready so that we can go to church:)
