Tiny update and Haul

So an update.

Well I got paid on friday and practically broke on this wintery tuesday. I was tempted by all the Black friday sales, I finally caved in and spent money on much needed hair products. I recently ran out of Aussie moist so I went to Target and decided to tRy Tresemme Naturals. I also sat my butt down at the computer and went to oyinhandmade.com and ordered some Whipped pudding which I ran out of so fast but really enjoyed so I got it again. I wasn't for sure if I wanted to get the Burnt sugar since I didn't want to go too broke because I wanted to buy more stuff that wasn't hair related but after a few days of pondering I gave in, went to curlmart.com and got the Burnt sugar pomade and two products I have been eyeing. Darcy's Botanicals, Madagascar Vanilla styling cream...or something like that and Jessicurl weekly Deep treatment conditioner whatever lol. All products shipped today so I shall review them soon. :).

Hair Length check somewhat

My hair

I don't know why my head looks so small and thin here...anyway lol. I wasn't planning on flat ironing my hair or even posting a pic to do a length check but hey why not. The last pic I took was of my hair after being straight for like two weeks and a real hot mess. So I flat ironed and here we are. My hair has grown, which I was surprised about. I am pleased with the sides of my hair have grown and are down my my chin. I've had issues with those forever it seems lol. 

I've been trying to cut back on flat ironing and not really doing much to my hair. I never flat iron a lot to begin with,I usually wash and leave my hair curly for two weeks and sometimes more, but with the cold weather coming and my hair being dryer than usual I need to add more moisture rather then taking it out. So as for my hair that suffered most from Ponytail and flat iron damage it's still not that great at least to me, so I've decided just to wait at least six months, continue trimming my ends which I plan on doing the next time I wash and just see how that works, If I don't seen any improvement I might just have to get a haircut.

So as for now my hair seems to be doing alright. I went to the store recently and bought some Tresemme Naturals conditioner, since I ran out of my beloved Aussie Moist. I have yet to try it out so I'm hoping when I do it doesn't disappoint. My goals for this month are two

1.Flat Iron less(even less than I do now)

2. Try to stay away from ponytails, they are all I have ever know for like 10 yrs and it's a hard habit to break but I need to.

and

3. Trim my ends, the last time I did was September 28th, So I'm due lol.

Late night blues plus some more rambling!

Well it's 2:30 am and I'm sitting here in a dark living room at my uncles house, trying not to freak out. I'm here dog sitting/watching my 14 yr old cousin while my uncle and his wife are out celebrating his late bday. As much as I think their house is nice, I have a huge problem with staying over night at other people's houses. Last time I was here was around March and I was here for a whole week by myself watching the dog and that was one of the hardest weeks ever lol. I spent almost all night up til 6am because I couldn't sleep. So here I find myself in the same situation. Oh what to do?...granted I'm only here til tomorrow which can't seem to come fast enough, but it's gonna be a long night. I slept fantastic last night for the first time in months but had a rough morning due to my house being filled by children.

So since my last post I bought flexi rods and tried them out. I can't say I loved the results but I will have to try them out some more and master them because so far they've come out only as a frizzy mess. As for the condition of my hair, it's growing. I finally flat ironed it after about two weeks. It was quite dry im guessint due to this cold soon to be winter wonderland weather.  I've run out of my Oyin products which I need to purchase more of. I have been deep conditioning with coconut oil mixed into my conditioner and I have to say it's quite amazing!. Loving it lol. Anyway my tiredness is kicking in but I can guess I won't fall asleep for another three hours:( goodness! lol. Oh well I hope tomorrow comes fast so I can leave and then sit in a move theater drooling over Robert downey Jr.
