The one thing I was looking forward to doing after I cut my hair was a wash and go. Would you believe that 2.5 months has passed and that’s the one style I’ve never tried?!

In the beginning I was hesitant about do it because of how much my hair shrinks. I must have like a 100% shrinkage rate. I was already adjusting to short hair and for my hair to look even shorter wasn’t really an option. In fact, I’m still adjusting to short hair.

Now that I realize that I haven’t done a wash and go, it’s probably too cold outside to do it. Going out in the cool/cold with wet hair is NOT and option. Do you still do a wash & go in the Fall/Winter?

I’m still trying to figure out what the best products for a wash and go are. When my hair was relaxed and I did a wash and go, setting lotion was my best friend. It gave me the definition I needed, but didn’t make my hair crunchy (depending on the amount I used). It also didn’t dry out my hair like gel did.

circa July 2007 – Wash & Go with setting lotion

What do you use for your wash & go?

What’s been going on? Nothing much over this way. I was proud of myself for actually finishing two jars of hair products. The My Honey Child – Olive You I’ve already replenished, but I doubt I’d replenish the DevaCurl – Heaven in Hair. It was good, but it wasn’t heaven in MY hair!

I realized I have two main styles and I go back and forth about which one is more beneficial for my hair… a bun or a twistout. I like both for different reasons, but I’m realizing that as my hair grows in the back, it’s rubbing against my clothes and tickling my neck. LOL. In the long run, that probably won’t be a good thing.

Regardless of which style seems better, my hair is definitely growing. How do I know? Well……. I secretly did a length check for my own personal knowledge! LOL. Don’t ask for pics because you won’t get them… at least not yet. I probably won’t do a public length check until the end of the month and I’ll keep it quarterly.

This is usually the time of year where my hair starts shedding, for some unknown reason. I don’t know if it’s because of the change in season why that happens. My hair actually fares better in the winter. This year I’ll miss my hair keeping my neck and ears warm.

I need more versatility though! I want a nice cornrow updo or something. I’m pretty bored with my hair these days, but I have been sticking to a regimen and taking good care of it.

Well, that concludes another pictureless post. There’s really nothing to see here guys! =)
