Brittany's Hair Journal

*First off, I would like NO ONE to post on this Journal please!*

Ok, well I am 13 years old (14 on the 19th of Feb.)and beginning to grow my hair back out. I am just going to give you a little background about my experiences first.

Kindergarden- I had thick LONG blonde hair that reached to about my waist. I absolutely loved it and wanted to keep it that way. Well, I got lice from a student at school and my mom was told that I couldnt go back until it was treated so she did everything she could to save my hair but there was NO use. So It had to be cut off, up to my shoulders. None the less I was disapointed.

2nd grade- At this point I have hair a little past my mid-back. Well, I moved to a new school and my dad begged and begged me to get a new hair cut so I could look presentable. I finally gave in and got a bob cut which looked horribel on me I must say.

>>FF<< To 5th grade- I am missing my long hair, which is now down to about my shoulders maybe a little shorter so i decided to grow it back out, but be healthy about it as well. So I begin th journey again.

7th grade- I finally have my hair to my mid-back w/ layers and pretty happy with it. Nice and healhy, thick, and blonde which is my natural color.

Over the summer I decided to do black tips in my hair to look "Cool" which was a big mistake. I liked it for awhile but when I got into the beginning of 8th grade it started to get old so I decided to make it blonde with black streaks. Well when we get to the salon and we do the whole dye process my black from the tips is still showing through the blonde and black streaks. There is NO WAY they can fix it so I have to cut 6 inches off of it which brings me back to a little below the shoulder stage.

It's been about 4 months since I have gotten it cut and its almost past my boobs (lol). So here I am again trying to grow it out. I have come to the conclusion that I am NOT going to dye it anymore its the black streaks are just going to have to grow or fade out because I am too afraid I will damage my hair. I will do my best to keep it healthy as possible so this long journey will be a bit easier.

So there is my story, many more posts to come!!!xBritxBratx93x2007-02-16 23:12:25

I have decided to purchase HF37 because of the many success stories I have heard around the internet. I just hope it works for me. My goal is to have my hair at LEAST past my mid-back by next February. I think if I act fast and order it tonight, I might just might reach that goal.

Welp, my birthday is tomorrow! Yay!!! My mom threw me a surprise b-day party last night and I got tons of money, so I will be able to buy all that I need.

I seem to have a bad habit of eating lots of chocolate and downing sodas all day, but I am going to try to drink water and try some organic foods and foods with plenty of protein. We will see how that goes.

Though before I make this dramatic change I need to talk with my doctor because my mom is freaking out thinking this all will have a horrible affect or something. I told her not to worry, that nothing will happen. But I am sure most of you know how mothers are

I'm out.....for now

Well I got HF37 in the mail on thursday and I have been using it for 2 days now and already getting GREAT results!!!! I mean not growing wise, I know that will take a while but my hair is now soft and shiny and there is NO frizz!!!!! Yay! *does happy dance*

I cant wait until I talk to my doctor about the vitamins, though I want to be safe before I purchase them to make sure they dont interfere with my meds, I cant stop this eagerness to get onto the computer and buy them now! I WAN'EM!!!! I guess I will just have to wait until my next doctors appt. which isnt until May, but I just want to try out the shampoo & conditioner before I go and spend $130 on a 6-month supply of Vitamins that might not even work. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Welp, I have now got $140 dollars for my birthday plus all my saved up money so I can use it for whatever I want. My mom promised to buy me the first 3 bottles of the 1-month supply (if I get the ok from the doc.) just to try it out, if it doesnt work then we will try hairtopia, just to save the money and hassle.

But I want this stuff to work soooooooooooo bad!!!! I overall have fairly healthy hair....I think! lol. I mean its blonde, nice and thick, and I just trimmed my split ends which were not really all that bad because its only been about 3 months since my last trim. Though, I have some to the conclusion that I am going to be "smart" and trim my ends every 3 months (got marked on my calender, nice and proud of it too ) so they dont get REALLY bad where I have to chop of 2 inches of my freakin hair, which will leave me back where I started 3 months before!

Been working on my diet as well. I have cut down on the chocolate with NO problem, its just the stupid pepsi that gets me. I just cant seem to get enough of it! Though, I know my cravings will die down with time. My friends at school think I am crazy for caring for my hair so much but I cant help it. Most of my friends, are the kind of people who like to cut their hair into pixie cuts and die them 5 diff. colors. I have been there and done that there is NO way I am going to go down that road again. I need to learn to take good care of my hair, so that when it grows out, it wont look like a rats nest.

I hope you liked listening to my endless rant...I am sure you did.

Stay tuned for the next update, because I am sure I will have something better cooked up for you. Though I am going to make you wait.....MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I'm having a pretty bad hair day, today. You know you get those days where your hair is just BLAH. Mine is really greasy and bumpy, not shiny and straight like it usually is. I guess it's from where I didn't use HF37 today because I was in a hurry, that stuff really works.

Plus, to make things worse I am getting a bad cold, because of the wierd weather out here in Ohio. I know for a fact that I cant miss anymore school, because we are having SCA tests this week AND we are getting to the end of the school year and I need to be there to prepare for the OAT in April/May.

As for my hair, I just twisted it up into a bun and went on my way. I am going to be sure to usa HF37 tonight so that my hair will be nice and silky for tomorrow. I have come up with another one of my genius plans. I am going to use HF37 everyday for a week (been using it since thursday) then after that I will start to use it every other day so that my hair doesnt become dried out.

I hate the color of my hair, it looks like a witch wig you get for halloween or horse hair. I HATE IT!!!! But, I am going to deal with what I have right now. I want to die it black (my mom refuses) but I am afraid to do that again, because something might go wrong. I think I might wait until its to my desired length then I will die it a light brown or something. Maybe by that time the black streaks will be brown.

I am going to get you all some pics of my current length as soon as I can. I am just going to use my moms camera to take the pics, because mine has poor quality. I want to give you all a visual of my ugly horse hair

Hey all!

Well, yesterday my cold got worse and I coudlnt hardly talk so I didn't update like I had planned to. I have kinda been lacking when it comes to my hair because me being sick and all I havent really cared, but I am feeling much better than yesterday. So I am ready to get back on track!!!!

My hair is kinda uck today because I didnt mind washing it last night. I just threw it up in a bun and washed the rest of my body. So its kinda greasy and nasty, plus I need to trim some of the split ends I missed from the other day. It looks like it really needs a brushing. Ok so I made a list a couple of nights ago, it contains some products and food I am going to get next time I go shopping. Alright:

Hair Care Products
1. Olive Oil
2. Shea Butter
3. JoJoba
4. Sebastian Potion 9
5. Scalp Massage w/ Avacado Oil
6. Fox's Shea Conditioning Cream
7. CO wash
8. Garnier Fructis Long & Strong Leave- in

Foods
1. Almonds
2. Avocados
3. Walnuts
4. Flaxseeds
5. Sugar free Applesauce
6. Tuna
7. Wheat germ
8. Cheddar cheese
9. seaweed
10. yogurt
11. granola
12. eggs
13. Halilbut Burgers
14. Peanut butter
15. Sunflower seeds
16. Almond butter
17. Black beans
18. Soy beans

Oh and I have a recipe for a good deep conditioning as well. You need apple cider vineager and water then you are good to go. Put it in your hair after shampoo and before conditioning. I got it from this site somewhere so I hope to god all this stuff works or AT LEAST helps a little.

Welp, I am out for now. I need to go KILL THE SPLIT ENDS!!!

Sorry for the delay, I just moved into a new house and my internet hookup took awhile. Things with my hair are going wonderfully as usual, but I havent been using my HF37 for a couple of days because I am afraid that it will dry out my hair if I use it regulary. Though, while I am not using that I L-O-V-E using Aussie 2-1 shampoo/conditioner along with the deep conditioning as well. It works wonders with my hair.

I kind of regret putting hair spray in my hair to scrunch it today, but when I hopped out of the shower and dried my hair all it was, was a big poof ball. I had no choice, plus I think I look good with my hair slightly wavy. I had to go get a new nose ring because my other one was irritating my nose so instead of getting a stud I got a actual ring for it this time. Oh and I got my ears peirced twice again which makes a total of 4 peircings all together....lol I love getting peircings done. I am thinking about getting my eyebrow peirced when I get my belly button done. My mom desnt like all of the peircings but, she looks at it as a way of expressing myself which she'd rather me express myself through tattoos and peircings than she would drugs and alcohol.

I am getting WAY off topic here. Well I still have yet to get that list of things I posted last time. I think I need to get my butt in gear if I want healthy looking hair. Oh and I am also going to take pics of myhair and post them for you all to see and I will do that regularly so you can view my progress. I will probably post new pics every 3 months or so. I might every month if I can get the time to do it, becuase I am really busy with school. And, speaking of school there is this girl, actually she is my friend and she has gorgeous long blonde hair that reaches to her waist, which is my goal. I asked her about tips on how she keeps her ends from splitting and she told me she sleeps in a night cap and bought some satin pillows to sleep on so her ends wouldnt tangle, and she uses the garnier fructis long & strong syrum for split ends. So I am going to buy me some satin pillows and a night cap and see if that helps my never ending split ends.
