Emergency trim!!!!!

So I was cleaning up my room yesterday and saw a clean storage container full of rollers. So I was going through the rollers and found my salon sheers. I was in a trance. I stopped everything I was doing and went straight into the bathroom mirror and started trimming my hair. So I took off a minuscule amount, nothing that could me measure...until I saw my hair was uneven from my hair trying to grow out. So I trimmed it. Then I realized that my middle was thinner than the side ends. So I trimmed that. Then I realized that one side was a tad bit longer. So I trimmed that. I stepped back to exam everything and realized that I was two inches shorter. At first I was shocked at how much a ''trim'' had cost me. But when I looked closer my hair as a whole looked so much thicker without the thin ends. I mean they weren't that thin but with them gone, I feel awesome. I got my summer cut I guess and I cannot wait until it grows back because I am going to try my best to maintain this evenness and this thickness. So I am in love. I am going to flatiron my hair on June 1st so my hair can officially be surveyed in detail. Excited!!!!! Until next time!

Operation: OMI One month update!!!

So, yesterday made a month since I started really acting right. I have a goal, and by golly I want to reach it. My goal is still BSB before the end of the summer and I am excited to think that I can make it. I am going to try quite a few things this summer and I am going to do a few reviews on the things I try and use. First thing that I am going to try is the Suave Keratin Line shampoo and conditioner for color treated and dry/frizzy hair. I am going to see what it can do as far as strengthening my hair. I will use that line this summer and report on that. Another thing that I am going to try out is heat protectant of my choice. My birthday is next Friday. I may use it then or wait. I haven't decided yet. Another thing I will try is a different relaxer. There is something about my hair that I cannot put my finger on that is causing it not to retain. I thought it was moisture, oil, protein, etc. I have been down the line, but I am going to see if my relaxer is too strong for my hair. SO I am going to experiment with an even milder relaxer. That is just a few things. I will make sure I keep everyone updated. As far as my update, my hair has gotten a smidge thicker. It has gotten where it takes more moisturizer to quench its thirst. I am trying to find a very reasonable balance with my hair where I will not get myself in a devastating bind. It has been months since I have had a trim. It looks like a I need one, but I will put that off until further notice. So, I will continue to do good by my hair and I will keep the updates coming. mwah!

My new length photo

Hello. So this is my hair. I apologize for it not being completely straight for an accurate measurement. However, I am hovering over BSB. My goal for the summer is to be full BSB by the first week in August. It will take lots of discipline and lots of research, but I see myself making it. I believe that it is appropiate goal considering the time. So here is my starting photo for my summer challenge. Wish me luck as I reach my goal. Mwah!

Have You Been On My Page Lately?????

SO...if you have noticed on my blog, I am officially a COLLEGE GRADUATE. It is a club that I am so honored to be apart of. This was a hard battle, but my degree proves that it is acheiveable.

So, I did a relaxer the day before graduation. In all honesty, I do not know what my hair length is. I am currently under the dryer now DC'ing. I am going to roller set my hair, but I am curious to know what my hair length is. I am afraid that I didn't retain any length due to stress during finals. I was losing a lot of hair. I was sitting in class one day and pulled out hair by the handfuls. I wasn't even gripping my hair; I WAS RUNNING MY FINGERS THROUGH MY HAIR!!! So sad. I wanted to have a roller set for graduation; however, due to time constraint, I only blow dried on low and flat ironed in low. I rolled my hair only two and a half hours before I took them out. I had nice bump to it then, but as you can tell in the photo, my curls did not last. Next blog post will have a current length photo hopefully. mwah!

Quick talk

Hello. It has been a while since my last blog post. But I have been thinking of you all. So I have got confirmation that I am graduation from COLLEGE. I am excited. If you check my meter, I have three days until I graduate. It is an unbelievable feeling that I am accomplishing this milestone FINALLY. Also, my boyfriend is graduating with me...its even a bigger celebration. My hair? Well, nothing new. I have been keeping it in a ponytail to avoid combing in it. I have really slipped on my biotin and my castor oil due to finals. But I am back on it ASAP. I am going to try to have a graduation style picture up ASAP. So be on the watch for that. Let me prepare for this beautiful day. muah!

Operation: OMI Day 9

Well, it has been nine days and I have been doing pretty good by my hair. I washed my hair yesterday with a clarifying shampoo. Then I DC'ed with an ORS pak. Then I sat under the dryer with a little setting lotion and with my hair unstyled. I decided to wear a high bun. I wanted for a decent amount of my hair to dry then I wore my high bun all day. I have been moisturizing and sealing everyday. I have also been on my biotin. I am ready for some growth. Unfortunately, I will not have any new length for graduation which is in 11 days. BUT I cannot wait until I start reaching some visible goals. I am hoping for BSL by August, MBL by Christmas, and WL by next April. This summer I am ordering some Hairfinity. I want it before my birthday, which is June 1st, and I will use it all of June and all of July. I am serious about this growth, lol. Graduation is coming up. I do not know what I want to do as far as a style. I want my length to show. However, I do not want to use heat because its so early and I do not want to get back on it. Also, direct heat leaves my hair so limp. I want to wear a roller set, but sometimes my sets fall due to humidity. Plus, my graduation is in May at 2pm. Yea, I do not want to imagine what my hair could look like on this special day. Roller sets do give me that body and bigness that I love so much. I am probably going to stick to the roller set. Also, I will only be five or six weeks. Techinically, I will not need a relaxer but my hair will not look too, too fresh. I am still deciding on what to do. Well, until next post. Muah!

Unrelated to hair

So many girls struggle with their relationships. I wonder why. I know for a fact that any relationship will have it's problems. However I remember back in the day where I was dating this one guy. Me and him seemed perfect for each other, but he was unsure what he wanted in life so I was left hanging. I guess that was probably the only imperfect part but everything else I loved. What makes girls lose their minds in a relationship. Its been seven years since that "perfect" relationship and all I have been thinking about is how can I achieve that happiness again. I know there is no such thing as a perfect relationship. But the pairing I have witnessed is ticking time bombs, pairings that should have never happened. And the thing is girls know that their relationships are dangerous but continue to pursue it. Is it love? Do we as women know the complete definition of love? Some women may define love as taking care of their s.o. others may defined it as being with someone for a very long period of time. I know I'm doing further research on this. Maybe I will understand something better. Well, sorry for this out of nowhere rambling. Until next time...
