And again....

I'm reminded why I stay OUT of the non-hair related sections of hair boards I'm on...... it's really not worth my energy, and it tends to jade me on the actual useful knowledge I can get in other areas of the board. *dusts hands off* Ah, well, I'll stick with like-minded people when it comes to stuff other than hair - it's - healthier, that way.

And can I briefly share my - frustration and exasperation with people who expect you to hand them all the answers on a silver platter? *eyeroll* I have - little to no respect for someone who has no interest in learning, and merely wishes to be taught. There's a significant but subtle difference there, around motivation and dedication, and - it's about values, that's all.

So much around hair is about values. What do you value? Ease? Convenience? Beauty (by whichever beauty standard you operate under)? Price? Conformity?

Hrm. What do I value, when it comes to my hair?
Uniqueness, for one. I - I really don't want to look like 90% of the women on the street - I usually don't respect/admire their sense of style (which tends to be thinly disguised conformity). The other 10% - I rarely see, sadly enough. So, I tend to - go my own way.
Frugality, for another. My life path/desires don't include spending 100+ a month on hair. I'm trying to get it to under 20 bucks a month, for true - and I think I might be close. I'll have to see, try to figure up how much my 8 week cycle actually costs me.
Ease, for another. I can't IMAGINE spending more than 10-15 minutes a morning on my hair, and I would prefer 5. *lol* Sleep is more important to me.

Hrm. Yeah, definitely. It's interesting, that one of the things I don't really 'value' about my hair is it's beauty. I suppose that's because I know/believe/manifest that my hair is GORGEOUS. As long as I take good care of it, it is beautiful, and it is because it is mine. So, I'm not really worried about it's 'beauty' so to speak - because to me, it's simply inherent in the hair.

Ahh. That felt good to muddle through.

My hair has fallen into a lovely little routine - I'm 3 for 3 this week as far as MT application goes, and I'll just eyeball my length this weekend when I take my hair out. Urm, what else? I did a SAF rinse this past weekend, and an MT on wet hair on Sunday, and that was it. My hair is DEFINITELY breaking less (I'm talking about virtually none, even on my ends), and it's a little stronger, too. I got three more bottles, and so I think I'm set for the rest of the year, at the very least. If I decide once I'm down to the last bottle to re-up, I'll most likely get the gallon size - which, assuming that four bottles last me a year, that would be a two year supply. Hehe. If I keep on keeping on like this (and the growth keeps on keeping on along with me), two years of this stuff?? :blink: Wow. I can only imagine.

Okay, I think I'm done, for now.
