Wishlist

It's a slow day at work, so I'm doing one of my favorite things - window shopping!!

I figured I should make a list of the hair stuff I want to get going forward - but I HAVE to clear out some of my old stuff - maybe I can swap for some stuff that I really want.

Anyhow - lists!

Natural Products
Shikaika Powder (refill)
Amla Powder (refill)
I want to try to get both of those in a bulk size - them lil 100g boxes just ain't doing it!
Maka/Bhirihaj Powder (I know I spelled that dreadfully wrong)
Irish Moss (This might be the missing ingredient in my perfect all natural conditioner!)
Coconut Cream (I'm willing to use the cheapie coconut milk, but the cream would make treatments SOOOOO much easier!)
Ghee (I'm really on the fence with this, simply because my hair doesn't like oils - but it IS butter, at the most basic level, so if I can find a small size of it, I'll try it. Worse comes to worst, I'll just cook with it)

Commercial Products
Mega-Tek and/or Ovation Cell Therapy (I know, I know, it's stupid expensive, but DANG, I want to try it!)

---

Anyhow - I think that's the list for right now. I can't afford a danngone thing, but I'm keeping it all in mind.

My hair is being - odd. For some reason, the back part of my updo keeps coming loose - I KNOW my hair hasn't gotten any shorter, but I'm thinking that shrinkage has set in (I even tried to braid it wet today - I WON'T be doing that again, as I snapped too many hairs that got tangled around my fingers), or that my hair has gotten 'smoother', so that the twists don't 'hold' together as well.

I think I mentioned that several of them came out when I washed my hair over the weekend - which was VERY suprising to me - so the idea that it's smoother/softer could be a valid one.

*checks calendar*

I don't think I mentioned that I actually have a calendar (for the year, yes, the YEAR) that lists each of my treatments, and when. Yes, I'm that anal/organzied/whatever you want to call it.

Anyhow, this weekend I'm scheduled for a protien treatment. My hair is in an okay moisture state - so, one would definitely be okay...... keeping in mind that I'll be henna'ing the week after next (my next out week), so it definitely needs to be a LIGHT protien.

I haven't done a coconut milk/lime mixture in a while, so I might try that. Or, I can use the Remedi and not get all fancy - or, I could do a egg treat - which, on second thought, no, because that just - I know it works, it's just egg in hair? Ugh.

Hrm. Looking at my calendar, I'm wondering if I should rearrange things, so that I do two DC's, one protien treatment, and one henna in a cycle - that would also stop the protien & henna from being back to back, but it would stretch out my henna'ing to once every 2 months, instead of the every month deal I was on last year. *tsk*

Damn, that's actually a really good idea.

Okay - this is what the new schedule looks like....

Week 1 In Condition
Week 2 Out DC
Week 3 In Condition
Week 4 Out Protien
Week 5 In Condition
Week 6 Out DC
Week 7 In Condition
Week 8 Out Henna

Which, isn't too bad at all. *sigh* *waves forlornly to the henna*

I suppose though, if I'm using SAA in all of my conditioners, my hair should naturally reduce it's need for the strengthening properties of henna, and - hell, that might be almost perfect.

Okay, it's taken me most of the day to write this - I'll wrap it up and head home.
