I Hate My Hair

Posted in Hairstyles, Product Review by

I’m having an “I Hate My Hair” week. You know… when it’s not long enough, not short enough, not straight enough, not curly enough, not thick enough, not thin enough. It’s just the complete opposite of what you want it to be. Everyone else’s hair looks amazing and then you look in the mirror like WTH?!

I looked at boxes of relaxers online and gawked over the straight styles. I looked at websites for wigs. I looked at websites that sold wavy weave hair.

At the end if the day, I washed my hair, deep conditioned it with Camille Rose Naturals Algae Renew Deep Conditioner and made a curly ponytail.

I used EVOO and Curls Creme Brûlée. I love that stuff! This is the first time I’ve used it for a wash and go so we’ll see how that goes. So far, the curls are looser and not as defined, but I still like the way it looks.

I’m mainly bored with having a bun everyday. I can’t wait for the Fall/Winter to straighten my hair and take advantage of the versatility of this natural hair.

Major Hair Slump

Posted in Hairstyles by

I’m in a hair slump. I was beginning to feel like my hair growth plateaued. Every time I look at my hair it looks like it’s the same length since some time in 2012.

I haven’t tried any new styles lately. I’ve been trying to finish at least some of the products I have, so I haven’t bought any new products lately either. In the past, when I found myself in a hair slump, a new product purchase was usually enough to bring me out… but I won’t let the Product Junkie in me win this time.

I’ve been wearing my hair in my standard bun, although my bun has increased in size.

My scalp is still a mess at times, despite my efforts.

I decided to do a comparison to see if my hair really stopped growing. I refuse to do an actual length check because I don’t want to be disappointed.

What do you think? Because I’m not buying it!
