Moving, ALREADY?

Oooh, dangerously enough, I just figured out how easy it is to get a custom domain. Niccce, google, niiiceee. And cheap, too. I'll be doing that.... soon.

So, I took my hair down on my ride home - firstly, my hair is still AMAZINGLY moisturized - it's so soft so tender on the inside, and I'm really happy about that. The edges are a little crispier - I think that I will start to touch them up with a little extra Kiya Pudding every time I get my hair wet - I think that will solve that problem nicely.

The strands of my twists stick better to themselves than they do each other - my twistout actually looks like - oh, a couple hundred tiny, tiny, tiny, sisterlock sized twists, instead of the individual clumps of hair it really is.

*fondles hair*

Yes, yes, very soft. And sturdy feeling too - I'm not seeing as much breakage. I saw a few end bits but all the longish ones have been shed hairs....and at the same time, I don't think that skipping a protien treatment (esp. with the upcoming caramel treatment) would be a good idea.

Speaking of the moisture/protien balance, I had this bright idea on my way home.

What if it's a 'fixed' scale, that determines how much protien your hair needs, based on how much moisture your hair can currently hold? Basically, what if there was a perfect 'sweet spot' that could be measured by measuring how much moisture your hair can hold for x period of time? The more moisture your hair can 'hold', the less protien it 'needs', and vis versa.... And really, what the moisture measurement would be judging is the porousity (or lack thereof) of the hair. Logically, your hair MIGHT be more porous BECAUSE the natural protien bonds have broken down, thus leaving gaping 'holes' in your hair for the moisture to escape out of.

Hrmm, Hrmm, Hrmmmm...... interesting. I'll chew on that more...

I really do believe that there is a science behind hair.......and figuring that out will make taking care of my hair incredibly simple..... once you know a thing, you know how to control it.

And I trust that I know how to GROW hair. Funnily enough, THAT's never been a worry. So, I don't have to dig, as much at least, into the biochemisty aspect of it - and besides, I'm not really willing to experiment on my insides. ;) Worst comes to worse, I can always just shave my head...I can't realllly afford to replace a kidney.

The secret to growing REALLY long hair is to have ends that are in the same condition as your roots. If you can pull off that sort of external hair health, you'll really be maximizing your retention .....and that's a controllable/achievable goal, in my mind.

Yeah, I'm still getting the Mega-Tek, though. *laugh*
