- Again I have abandoned this site...but GOOD NEWS ! I have a camera...so now I can upload pictures without begging my sister for her camera!
I've done quite a bit of cutting on my hair lately. I have noticed quite a bit of knots so I want to cut all of those out.. Might be a while before they are all gone since I don't want to just do a drastic chop. I have cut off about half and inch to an inch each time. I kind of like my hair at this length since I refuse to straighten it anymore.
Products!
Hydration Conditioner (I think) Blue bottle from herbal essences..I need a cheapie conditioner since I'm runnning low on cash!
Elasticizer - UK product this stuff was pretty expensive. I bought it directly from the official website so that might be why. I think it was about 53 dollars including shipping... so yea definitely don't go out and buy this stuff for the heck of it. I like it though. I'm going to use it for DT's but it's definitely not something I am going to buy often since my hair doesn't really need a damage re constructor. But I just got it because I've been seeing splits and knots so...why not.
If you have any questions feel free to e-mail me!

I will post more picture soon
College I will be attending in the fall:
Davidson College
No idea what my hair length is since I've stopped stretching it, but it's getting fuller towards the bottom since I cut my hair mostly at the bottom--thus the top of my hair is catching up with the bottom. I don't want it to completely though so I might try to cut layers as it continues to grow. - 51 photo(s) (10 MB)

| | - January 2008! (Happy New Year!!)
- Sorry I have kinda abandoned this site, I'm going to try to get more pictures up soon!! I just...really need to get my own camera, lol. I'll save up so I can post pictures up more often. I have a camera on my laptop...but it's hard to take BSL pictures with it.
I'm finally at BSL..(again) we'll see how long this lasts. I don't plan on cutting my hair anytime soon, but I will have to probably cut off another inch or so sometime soon. I've been neglecting my hair a little. I need to do more co-washes and DTs (deep conditioning treatments). I'll probably go back to doing a DT once a week. It's a little harder to take care of now that it's longer. I'm probably going to have to start detangling before I get into the shower to cut down on the time I spend in there.
Regimen:
co-wash daily with my vegan organic conditioner :) --AO Honeysuckle Rose
Detangle, detangle, detangle...the more I do it the easier it gets...the less I do it...well that's an entirely new story
I'm starting to let my hair dry for about 10 minutes and then gently diffuse on low for a little while until my hair is mostly dry.
I shall henna this weekend!! :) I'll post pictures after.
------------
Currently also working on my skin, horrible breakout after getting a facial--ugh never going there again. But it's definitely getting better. I kinda like this whole "take care of yourself" routine. I wonder what I should improve next, maybe whiten my teeth or something...

| | - Skin Regimen...
- My skin has usually been very easy to take care of but recently it started going a bit crazy..I blame it on the facial I went to get, but oh well. I found this website:
Acne.org
Even though I don't consider myself to have acne, just the occasional breakouts on my forehead --my breakouts did start worsening so I decided to do something about it before they got too bad. I tried many natural remedies which do work, but they didn't seem to be preventing new breakouts for me just helping get rid of old ones.
Acne.org is a free website with support forms and pictures galleries that document the progress of acne sufferers that follow "the regimen" or that use other forms of treatments.
The regimen:
Wash
Medicate
Moisturize
It's really that simple. You wash gently with an unmedicated wash, medicate with 2.5% benzoyl peroxide, and moisturize with an oil free moisturizer.
But if you have sensitive skin like me it's really not that fun for the first two weeks while your skin adjusts to the bp. I decided to stick it out, however, when it got rough and I really wanted to give up but it is great at reducing pimples and breakouts overnight and preventing future breakouts.
bp is a mild drying and peeling agent so while it is good at drying out pimples and peeling off dead skin to even skin tone it is verrry important to moisturize well. Even when I thought I was using enough moisturizer my skin was still extremely dry in the beginning, but it does get better.
I am only going to do this regimen for probably another couple of months and then go back to just washing with noxema. I have seen lots of improvement in two weeks (no sign of breakouts and I'm pretty much back to having clear skin with a sign of a tiny blemish here and there) so I'm sure two months will be good enough. - Album was created 1 year 11 months ago

| | - Detoxification
- I have decided to start a dextox program that actually works. Well, that has been claimed to actually work. I'm not much of a skeptic so I don't doubt the number of glowing testimonials on a product called: Colonix. I will be receiving the Colonix and Toxinout products on Tuesday so I will document my journey and record the changes I see.

| | - November
- Back at grazing BSL (um sorta??)
We'll see how I maintain it!! I'm keeping my hair in protective styles for the rest of the winter, which = buns and 2 ponytails for me...since they are the easiest for me to maintain and do. I'll probably let my hair down at least 3 more times... but I'm trying to keep it up as much as possible!
Pictures to come:
I'm hoping to do a henna this weekend... we'll see how that goes.
I'll try to get a few styles up. Every time I get a good style I can't find the camera!!! Lol...
Goals:
Healthy hair...I don't care much about length anymore. I figure if I just focus on keeping my hair healthy then my length will sneak up on me.
Challenges:
No stretch challenge-- I just made this up :) I'm not going to check length until my birthday: March 1, 2008 (I'll be 18 ;)). Unless of course.. I straighten in between that time which I very well might... we'll see.
I'm doing the protect styles challenge...sorta. I'm just keeping my hair up all the time instead of down. I may do twists tomorrow, or today..or something.
Okay yea..I think I just wanted to write something here :)
