I don't want to relax my hair yet!

I am 9 months post relaxer. I'm so used to stretching I really don't mind it. I'm just really nervous to see if my hair will be healthy or not..I used to care a lot about having length, but I stopped caring mostly, I just want my hair to be in better shape than it was before. Up until the summer before my senior year of last year(2009-2010) I would straighten my hair everyday with NO HEAT PROTECTANT. Ahhh i was stupid. A month before my senior year started in high school i had senior pictures and the guy noticed how thin and shorter it was in the middle back of my hair!! I wanted to cry so bad. I've always had from shoulder length to armpit length but it thinned out and got shorter because i didnt take care of it properly. So hopefully now that i've started my "hair journey" my hair will grow healthier and even out. My short term goal is APL and my long term is somewhere between BSL and MBL. That could take a couple years, but I don't mind. Hair hasn't been the biggest worry for me as much as it used to. All I need is a good sew in if i want long hair. It being my own won't make me look any different, but it would be nice to learn how to style and treat my own hair.

Wish me luck! Good luck with whatever journeys you have!

I smell popcorn ^_^

Haha okay soo in class this guy next to me says to this girl, "I smell popcorn" I couldn't smell anything but my head was down, and i was thinking...i put olive oil in my hair..maybe he can smell that..I was getting so nervous and felt awkward at first but then i lifted my head up and i could smell the popcorn too, so i definitely don't think it was the olive oil he was smelling! It doesn't seem to have that much of a smell, just a little bit of an oily smell. So I don't know why i thought it was me anyway lol im a goof.

Just thought i'd share my awkward moment of the day with you. Even though, i don't think, it wasn't me i was sooo nervous and felt embarrassed!

No more coconut oil until spring!

So since i started moisturizing my hair and sealing it ive felt small chunks of dried up something in my hair on strands stuck together. I'm assuming it was product. I have been moisturizing with wave nouveau and sealing with cocount oil. I've heard that coconut oil melts in a warm temperatured area and dries up and gets hard in cold temperature areas. I didnt care because I didnt think it would happen but I think it did.i combed out the strands i found were stuck together with product. so im going to keep using wave nouveau as my moisturizer, but I will be sealing with extra virgin olive oil and see how that works! I just put the wave nouveau in my hair and it feels a bit sticky and greasy, i might skip m&s all day tomorrow. Any other tips or advice would be great! I am 9 months post relaxer so I'm not sure if this has any effect on my hair texture and the products as well. I will test it out once I get my relaxer this saturday :)

P.S I hope that if it gets warm in my dorm room my hair doesnt cookup from the olive oil :p i put some castor oil on my edges and nape as well.

I can't stand my spanish teacher!

She is beyond RUDE. I just don't understand. Teachers are there to TEACH. So if we have questions and we don't know the answers they aren't supposed to roll their eyes and make you feel inferior! I had a conversation with a few of my classmates and they felt she was impatient and intimidating. As I was leaving class this guy asked how to say "thursday" in spanish and she looked at him, made a clucking sound with her mouth and ignored him!!! Wtf? I was so annoyed so I gave him the answer to his question..at least I think it was the right one! How are we supposed to learn if teachers don't actually help?? She is one sassy old woman. I used to love spanish class even though I wasn't the best at it, but she makes it so it's not enjoyable at all to the point where I dread going to the class!! I pay good money for you to have patience. So be patient with me or else I'll start to get impatient with you. As long as I get a B or an A i'll be satisfied, I just don't want the class to affect my college GPA.  Wish me luck (:
