Happy International Curly Day!

Woohoo! May curls live free everywhere (hey a girl can dream, right?)!

I actually got some nice compliments on my hair today from some of my mentor teachers. And as usual, I had been in a rush out the door this morning and it was not up to my standards. Ah, c'est la vie!

(not from today, but you get the idea!)

Update?

Um, it's been a while. And I don't have a whole lot to say. I've been doing the same routine with the same results. My only problem is that I don't have the time to wash every day, which my scalp seems to require. So my scalp has been a little on the dry side. I did a sugar scrub today that I *think* took care of the problem. But other than that, things have been good!

I do still have a number of samples to test, and I may do that soon. So hopefully some interesting updates to come!

Oh I also have a new "hollywood curls" post coming soon - I finally saw a movie that was not well received within the curly community (you can probably guess which one!).

Never Forget

Pictures

Here are some pictures of the new cut!

It doesn't look too short, does it? It doesn't quite fit into a pineapple, so by morning I had a few pieces that had fallen out (and of course, some frizz). It does fit in a ponytail; not quite into a bun. But I'm really liking it! I think it feels shorter because it's just on the shoulders in the front, whereas it's a little longer in the back.

I actually had a hair conversation with my stylist. I told her my hair was super dry because of a protein overdose and she said "oh, well your hair is so healthy that you don't need much protein at all!" True - but no mention of my texture. It's a step though. I just had her rinse and use KCKT to detangle, which she really liked.

And if you ever needed to see a visual of why we need styling products...

I will say it dried in less than an hour with no product in it! I'm not sure how long it takes when actually styled, and I'm hoping my curls come out to play when I don't have to sleep on them!

Two Things

1. I got my hair cut. It feels SO short. I don't think I've had it this short since I was a freshman in college (senior now). But it doesn't look that short in pictures. Those will be up as soon as I can find the cord, or have time to find the cord. No product in my hair is very scary.

Now I just have to figure out how to do my hair for bed. A pineapple doesn't seem like it's going to work very well.

2. My Sally's order got here!!! How fast was that? Not even forty-eight hours later, and the box was at my door. Maybe they read my last entry? They almost redeemed themselves.
