i want hair down to there

the other day i was helping a woman with a chair or something. she told me how much she loved my hair. i thanked her and commented on hers. then she says to me, you should think about sister locks. I told her that i just dont think i would like them. i like to change my hair alot.

I love my afro,i love my puff, twist, braids, maybe flat ironed hair once i get the nerve( and hope it doesnt melt my hair ). I think that the woman didn't really like the messiness of afros. because her locks were all in place, and overly glossy. maybe thats just how they look. but my twist are never that shiny for more then a day.

~~~~~~~~

I wash my hair put water in my hair everyday. somedays its just shower water. somedays i use my mix. it has tea tree oil, peppermint oil, rosemary, olive oil,condionder, and water. i found the recipe on http://motowngirl.com/ i cant find it right now.

i condtion my hair now about twice a week. I do it before i go to work. because if i do it before bed my hair gets stuck in crazy directions, or flat to my head.

I try to deep condition at least twice a month. An while its DCing i detangle and change my style. I'm very boring with my hair now. because i work 4am-10am i only see customers for 2 hours a day. I love twist they are so easy to do while DC.

Braids are great to show how long your hair is . and they last alot longer even with frizz and fuzz. i'm not crazy about frizz i was my first two or three years. now im just like it happens its what natural hair does.

I shampoo my hair once a month. i'm using the Herbal Essences Totally Twisted. I love it. it really takes away my frizz and shows my curls. the shampoo doesnt dry out my hair as much as other products. I also use the mouse if i want to really show off the curls and show people how beautiful natural hair is.

people also ways ask me what i used, if i have some kind of texturizer. and i just say shampoo and mouse. then you get the oh my hair cant do that. well just try it, your hair is you and you well love it, if you go natural. I haven't really got anyone to go natural i think . but they say that they would try it.

my little sister has this disorder where all of her hair fell out. and it wasnt growing back for a really long time. but its growing now. and its looking good. the last time i went to visit her. she shows me her TWA and shes all proud of it in the house. she like look dominique i think my hair curls like yours. It might even look better then yours once it grows. so i'm proud that she loves her hair. but she still wears her wigs in public. on step at a time.

I was hoping to have bra lenght hair. but it just didnt happen this year. i think that it may have been all of the dying that i've been doing. I love color, so i'm not sorry that i did it. just how often i did it may have been the issue. i have about 4 inches of undyed hair. so i could cut off the rest. but my boyfriend says that i dont look my greatest with short hair.

I canceled my nappturality.com membership. it was only 5$ a month but i wasnt even on that site but a few times a year lately. but can still look at the hair help. i only really liked the craft section. but theres always craftster.org

well i think thats all

a little down

I got a lot of WIP's out of the way. but now i've started more. i dont have as many going as i used to . which is a little bit of an improvement right

I got an order by email. Two fat bottom bags, and a pair of long fingerless glove. she hasn't replied back with the shade of blue that she wants so i can't start work on that yet.

i have a beret in the works. a barbie dress, but i've only done 2 row out of 100 so that can be put on hold. i'm finishing up a pair of short fingerless gloves. i should have those done if i give my self two hours or so to work on them.

i've been getting really into working with tape and making bags. i did a fused plastic bag which im very proud of. i've made a few other things with tape. mostly because i'm a little afraid of putting so much time and effort into sewing with my machine and it turning out bad like the skirt. but the skirt was my own fault with not mesuring right and then adding more fabric.

i was in Jo-anns today and sewing classes cost 40$ which i guess isn't as bad as i thought it would be. but i don't know i dont want to be the slow on in a class or the one that just doesnt get something. which is also why i still haven't learned to swim yet, and the fact that i freak out when water get in my ears.

I think i have my swap partners box all ready to ship. But just like every time i do a swap i feel like my box just wont measure up to all the others. even though were only supposed to spend 20$ i think that people spend more. but i just need to relize that everyone is great at different things. and maybe my swap partner wont be upset that shes not getting wool, bamboo or silk.

I still need to get around to typing up the letter i wrote or just rewriting it so that she can read it. because much like a blog when i start writing it only makes sense to me.

Toby was supposed to have his name change hearing today . but i guess the newpaper that he puplished the date to is to new. so the courts wouldn't take it. now he is going to have to wait another month or more.

but he did get his name changed at work and told alot of people to start calling him Tobias and use male pronouns. so yay for him.

i've kinda been in a rut about my hair. i've been in whats called a hair challenge.you keep your hair in protected hair styles for months at a time. and its to make and keep your hair healthy. but i got so bored that i was almost about to straighten my hair with a flat iron. but then i said hmm lets see what the curls are looking like i haven't had my hair loose for a while.

I took out the twist washed my hair. and fell in love with my afro again. I went out and brought some new products for curly hair. totally twisted shampoo and condtioner, and mousse. my hair looks amazing im just loving it. i dont want flat lifeless hair. i mean people with straight hair have to use products just to make their hair as full as mines. love what you got i guess.

Hair ~
All of the dying did mess up my hair.My hair is thinner, my coils are getting looser and bigger. my kinks are now more coiled, my curls are now waves. I hadn't really noticed before because all this winter I've been keeping my hair in twist.

It could also be some of the products that im using. I've been using peppermint,tea tree oil, leave in conditioner and water, spray three times weekly. rinsing weekly, no-pooing every two or three weeks. I use Jason's conditioner. I'm thinking of going back to lemon juice,apple cider vinegar, baking soda, olive oil, all that good stuff. But i don't remember if that stuff worked or not I'll have to give it a go.


I just discovered banana clips, loving it


Life~
money is starting to get tight. I don't like it. I'm way to used to just shopping. now I have to go back to planning out things,bla, bla, bla, *crying*

I've been trying to take as many hours at work as i can.

Knitting~
I'm knitting a messenger bag right now. I'm hoping that it turns out well.

Sex~
I've been trying to jump Toby for the past two months. He has depression, and other things. So he has the lowest sex drive ever. He always tells me to go have fun with my self. He even went as far as buying me new batteries.

no one understands my pain. I have an over active sex drive and imagination.
