I'm mad bored so I decided ta create one'a these...And when I mean bored, I mean bored with my hair as well..Right now my hair is in 2 braids n it comes down near tha middle of my back n its curly n very very very fine n thin..But yea I'm bored with my hair, I'mma get it cut shoulder length eitha 2morra or on Friday..Thinkin' I'mma do it 2morra n then also change up my color a bit, nothin' too drastic because 2 weeks from now I'mma get my hair done-done for graduation pics/my birthday.
When I get my hair done in 2 weeks, I think I've reached a decision as to how I'mma get it done, I've decided on somethin' similar to Rihannas @ tha '07 Grammys:
 Still undecided on tha colors...I like tha colors she has, dark brown w/golden brown highlights, solid golden brown or solid dark brown...
I have 2 weeks ta decide that  but fa now jus gonna get my hair cut...But I'mma end it @ this, tha game is gettin' good n I dont wanna miss anythin'..------------- |

Right now I have tha color narrowed down to a dark chestnut brown solid or a dark chestnut brown with nice golden brown/honey brown type highlights or mix (granted I don't see anotha color I really really really like n want @ tha BSS |

So much fa knowin' what I wanna do with my hair..I'm back ta bein' undecided..torn inbetween whetha ta do short & straight or curly/wavy..I originally decided on short & straight because I kno I gotta get bangs n I want a real long one..but now I'm considering wavy because I have these clip-ins with wavy hair which I jus adore & I do love me tha curly/wavy look, but I jus don't kno how it would look wit bangs (my hairs mad thin, so I gotta have bangs) Unless Miss Nessa can do tha long bang thing wit tha curly/wavy hair as she would tha straight hair n it still look good...I gotta make up my mind, I'm gettin' my hair done in 2 days.. |

Aight well 2days tha day I been waitin' fa..picture day, tha main reason I got my hair done..I jus gotta figure out what I'mma wear & figure out how ta fix tha front of my hair so that it is how Vanessa did it n hopefully it'll stay n not have tha tracks sho...So I gotta go experiment with that ASAP since its almost 12 n I gotta be out tha door by 2 & I gotta figure out what I'mma wear... |

So I was able ta get tha front of my hair ta stay put & blend & cover tha track yay! Now I kno its possible (for my lil inexperienced-self) And for tha days I don't feel like goin' thru tha lil process (gellin'/greasin' up tha hair, blow dryin' it n sprayin' it down some n a lil more dryin') I can jus tie up my hair witta headband or scarf...But now tha otha thing gotta wait n see is how them pictures came out because that lady took them pictures mad quick..I wonder if their photo studio is close or find-able incase them pictures come out bad.. |

Ok so maybe Miss Nessa isn't closed on Mondays like I thought but now I have her #, lost tha card... But yea, this gel I put on tha front of my hair ta keep it up & help it blend n alla that, isn't treatin' my hair too well..I went ta wash it out and a bunch of my hair fell out
 ..So I gotta get this mess outta my hair ASAP n keep from usin' it or figure out some sort of combination/concoction so that I can use it but have it less harsh on my hair because I'm not a headband person & I can't have my hair tied up all tha time, ie like 2morra when I go to tha Big East Career Fair.. |

Afta havin' almost 2 weeks of technical difficulites I'm bac wit some updates to my hair..On tha 3rd I got bored n cut my hair short, bout chin lenght and it came out lookin' cute...But that only lasted a week cause I got bored some more with it n took it all out las Thursday so now I'm back ta rockin' my short, fine, baby short hair. OT, kinda interested in learnin' how ta Samba lol, hell wanna learn some of them dances they be doin' there lol..I wanna learn how ta dance man!
But yea, I'mma rock n take care of my own hair til May 9th, then I'mma get my hair done fa graduation..which I'm jus checkin' out hair, jus gotta start checkin' them out @ stores n stuff ta see how they are in person, how they feel, how it handles my pull test lol & gotta narrow it down, finalize tha style/look I'mma go for

Aight so I got my hair done on Friday, since she's not in on Saturdays...But yea I got my curls, I hadda get a lil bit of hair left out since a bang wouldn't of looked right with it..So I gotta attempt tha "blendin" thing again, which as I stated before sucks because my hair is mad thin so blended or not you can still see tha tracks and to try and hide tha tracks I gotta use this black gel stuff which makes my hair mad hard n fall out...But I'm not thinking about that now..My main concern is figuring out how ta 'set' my hair so that when I sleep, I don't smush/flatten tha curls which I jus adore and my parents seem to like as well |
..I need batteries so that I can take pics of me & my new look..But I'mma get them soon, hell I gotta get some 2morra cause graduation is Monday and I'mma need them ta take pics!! And of course I'mma need them for when I go away on vacation.Posted By: _Princess_

Aight I'm about ta wash my hair for tha 1st time and this is my 1st time with curly hair, I really don't kno what ta do or whats tha best way ta wash curly hair without messin' up them curls...So its an experiment. And I thought I'd keep track of things I used/what works for this hair and for all the other hair I'll use or have used just for future refrence. So I'll start with my 1st install: 12 inches, layered cut, straight hair, brand "Best Hairs" I believe, not certain b/c I unfortunately didn't get a good look @ tha package nor thought ta keep it n my girl done did toss it
but tha hair was sooo good fa me...- I detangled/combed it out every day/night (nothin' major)
- Used very lil shampoo (diluted)
-Diluted conditioner in spray bottle (also sprayed inbetween tracks/braids)
-Tea tree oil/shampoo diluted in spray bottle for braids
- Very lil/light hair conditioner/creme

Alright so I washed my hair las night in hopes ta cleanse it of tha stuff I put in n ta detangle it but once tha hair absorbed tha water, I smelt tha smell perms have and my hair/curls started straightening out. So yea, I lost my pretty pretty curls @ least now I kno how they get them pretty curls, they perm tha hair wit them size rollers...But tha thing I don't get is that they say on tha package that tha hair can be washed n this n that but when you go ta wash it, whomp whomp, you loose tha look you was goin' fa, tha style you bought tha hair for in tha 1st place. But don't get it twisted, I'mma make it work. I like playin' with my hair n tryin' different tings, and I still gotta full head of hair w/ this install, jus gotta get all tha tangles outta it and go from there...

I tried to make it work as long as I could (1 week and like 2 days), tha hair sucks once it was wet/curls were gone. Yes I had longer wavyish hair but it stunk. It still smelt like perm and wouldn't stop leaking color when wet, like tha dye kept washing off (which stunk some more and made everything a brownish color) NOT to mention it itched the hell out of me! I wouldn't stop itching OMG did it itch! So now I'm kinda torn between using that hair again, mainly because the curls the hair has before tha wash are soooo pretty and I just adore them, but I kno it can't be washed or wet, which makes detangling it one hell of a feat, so if I do decide to get another sew-in, I'd have ta find anotha brand of hair ta try cause I'm not too sure if I'd trust back Sensationnel's human curly hair... |

Ok since getting full head weaves cost so much I've been thinkin' of investing in some wigs since they cost less than buying tha hair and with how much it costs ta get it intalled you can get you a few wigs for that price. Well I have 2 of them which I really like, I jus got tha 2nd one yestaday and I love it, gotta work with tha bangs some cause the kinda long, come past my eyes and don't wanna stay put |

Oh and anotha thing, if I do decide to get a weave again, I gotta find me a new stylist. Now I do like Miss Vanessa and all but if I do get anotha install, its gonna be curls and I'm gonna want a full head of curls, no hair left out what-so-ever! And she says that it won't look right with a bang and I really don't want a bang, I want a full head of curls and I've seen people who have full head curly weaves, with NO HAIR LEFT OUT! And thats what I want so I gotta find somebody who can make that work, so tha stylist hunt is on! |

The look I'm going for/thinking of gettin' done for my cousins wedding if I do an up-do is:
 My hair is currently too short for it (almost shoulder length) and way too thin for it to come out looking as in the picture so I'm wondering if it can be achieved w/ extensions

| As of late, I wanna try microbraids...I've had my hair in box braids b4, but never micros, with weave. I've seen a basic tutorial and it seems fairly easy...but then doing my own hair, where I can't get a full view/grasp of the back may be a challenge, but I'm up fa it. Jus need tha money fa tha hair and well ta see what hair would hold up best. |

As disheartening as it may be, I've come to the realization that there's no way I'd be able to re-grow tha hair I've lost unless it was thru surgery and I'm not down fa that..but I'm still tryin' ta keep whateva lil I have healthy
In other news: I'm sick

Aight I haven't posted in here ina min and yea, so I never got around to doing micro's but I still have some hair for it, whenever I do decide to do it. I've decided that as much as I like different styles and changing up my look, weaves ain't for me. They cost soo much and last about 1 1/2 month (that varies on hair n whatnot). I've now ventured into half wigs, I like, just braid up my hair and throw it on, style and I'm good ta go. I wanna try lace ones too...jus gotta up my funds on that. There's quite a few styles I've been eye'n. I need to hit up the BSS's round me to see how much they sell them for, and where's the better deals @. This one girl in tha A mentioned how tha BSS by her gives an automatic 30% off all wigs, I wonder if tha ones by me do that as well. Or do tha price match thing. |

Another thing, I still love my hair, my curls, so I'd def. be doing my clips and styling my hair and whatnot. Especially since I'm growing out my hair as long as I can until I get so completely tired of it that I'd want it cut short again. Or shave it all off, which I want to do whenever someone has a comment to make about my hair and what they think I should do to regrow it. They need to hush, its hopeless, I've accepted that fact, they should as well. It ain't stress, it ain't this, it ain't that. Doctors can't find nothing wrong, so its just how its supposed to be! Not everyone is meant to have everything, and a full head of hair is one a them things I'm not meant to have. Oh well, I am not my hair and I'm beautiful with the hair I have. I have other options for styling, and I don't mean that teasing mess that heffa did to my head for tricks wedding! That mess may have looked cute, but it was a dry, icky mess with all that freaking hairspray she threw up in my hair. But I digress |

As much as I like my "Good Girl Gone Dark" look, which is my natural shade, which I'm rockin' right now, I think its a bit too harsh for me/my complexion. My eyebrows are black/1B-ish and I think I'd be better off with a lighter shade. I love love LOVE browns, dark brown, golden brown, and think, make that I know browns look really good with my complexion. Now I'm not saying it looks bad on me, it doesn't...just think its a bit too harsh on me, the browns have a warmer, gentler feel against my skin if that makes sense. So I'm tempted to try and lighten them...when I really don't have...well I have a clue as to how to do it...but not sure how long I'd have to keep tha bleach or whateva on...thus why I'm kinda hesitant to try it. |

| Another thing that I like, that I don't think looks the best on me is straight hair. I'mma curly girl, loves me some curls on tha real. And wheneva I straighten my hair, I've noticed that 9 out of 10 times I'm rocking a fitted or some sort of hat (mainly fitteds lol). I don't rock my hair stright all that much and have very few straight styles as is and I don't think I'll be adding any other straight styles to my collection eitha. |

| Aight so I just braided up my hair, I'm gonna see how long they last/stay fresh before they get all messy up top due to tha combs n cap. I'm gonna attempt to wear a full wig this week and see how I like it so the real test would be starting 2morra, it'll be bout 7hrs with it on...I'm not sure of the longest I've been with a full one on, half ones I've done long time cause I usually rock it with a head band so no hair in my face or way. |

Aight well I just braided up my hair for this week. Loving the heat!! Don't want it to go away. My hair normally is in 12 braids, and they mad small as is, 2day I got 15, still very skinny lil ones. One day, if I have enough free time on my hands, I wanna try doing box braids w/ tha bulk braiding hair to see how that all works, I have it set out in my mind, just gotta do it and see if it works out right. |

Aight well I've decided that for tha summer, I'll be wearing my hair short. Which means trying short looks, which I haven't had much of or had my hair short for long. I'm gonna be trying a bob, kinda asymmetrical-ish and I have 2 otha short cuts/styles in mind, not sure exactly what to call them lol but I have something in mind. One is a straight, short style/cut and the other is short, with flips/curls. |

Its been the longest since I've written in here. But SO much has changed. I shaved off all of my hair in August. My hair is growing back, not any thicker though *sigh* guess that's how its gonna be, oh well then. It's funny, I do miss my hair (it was near MBL when I did the chop) but I do enjoy having it short. |

Still wearing my wigs. I'm currently tweaking this one wig that was a
HAM. It was nothing like the picture, with soo much hair around the
hairline, it's a beast I tell you! But I guess that's a good thing, for me to practice tweaking it, to get it to look right so I would know what to do when my FLW gets here. Now I tweak all of my other SLWs so that it fits my face and doesn't scream WIG, but this one needs the most work out of all the ones I've ever had. Besides on working on the hairline and getting the front to fall back, I gotta learn to deal with the soft, fluffy hair. The hair is realistic IMO, it reminds me of my lil cousins hair. Which is a good ting since I can pull it off good & own it. |

| What I need to do is locate those EO's in my area and make a mixture and see if that would help any. Its worth a shot, I really have nothing to lose. If it doesn't work, I can always use the oils for other things. |
