On the grow... :)

TWO STRAND TWISTS :)

Took me about two hours to do these. I twisted with coconut oil.

NOT SO BELOVED BIOTIN

While I've experienced success from using biotin, it reaks havoc on my skin so I've reduce the dosage. I was taking two a day versus the recommended dose of one. I'm kind of scared to use it at all considering the fact that I've never had bad skin. It freaked me out when I saw the bumps on my face, like majorly! I will test it out to see if the reducing the dosage works for me, if not, I will discontinue. I'd rather have great skin than a head full of flowing hair :)

Hair obsession

I'm realizing that I pay a lot of attention to my hair. I'm always looking in the mirror at it, touching it, wishing it were at the length I want it to be. Hair is a focus of mine, even if it's not my own, I am constantly on website surrounding hair, ie., curlynikki.com, naturalsunshine.ning.com, nappturality.com, motowngirl.com and here lately a myriad of hair blogs. I am a hair junky! HOWEVER, I am reaching a point of frustration of my own. Although my hair has grown "some" since the onset of this blog, I am disappointed that I've not gained more length than I have. Some would say focus on the health of it and all will follow, and I myself have even said that, but when I see styles I want to do but don't have the hair for it, I do become frustrated. Anywho, I've been doing styles that I like on the length I have so I will post pics below. Enjoy :)

I found my Eco Syler Gel

I am so stoked because I found the gel I'd been looking for and it was right under my nose at the local beauty supply store. Not even a mile up the street from where I live. It worked wonders, and I also went through a bottle of biotin so I had to purchase another one. I actually am not a big fan of taking vitamins, but with this vitamin I noticed results after about a month in a half so I am sold.

On The Hunt!

I am desperately trying to find this most coveted gel, Eco Styler Gel. Natural websites, and naturals all over youtube have rave reviews about this product and its ability to define curls, and I have not been able to find it here in my city. I am going on the prowl this weekend and hopefully will have some luck. I tried Walgreens, but to no avail. Fingers are crossed.... wish me luck.

Past My Ears, Please!!!

I don't know if it is mental or not, but e'ry time I get a damn trim it seems as if I got a major hair cut. I know daggone well I didn't cut that much off my ends. My hair is not like it was last week, and I am sad!!!! I want my hair to sprout out of my scalp like bean sprouts!!!!!! This is extremely frustrating, and I have never been disappointed in my hair at all. I have just embraced it, but the nappy truth is, I need a solution. I watch youtube videos of women after their first year, and it is comparison to a person who has been growing their hair for years. I am not looking for hair to flow down my back just past my ears.... GROW PLEASE & Thank you!!!!
