Stuff and Etc.....

Gonna be disjointed today, as I'm doing a buncha of different things at the same time.

Caramel - ugh! It was fabulous for the hair, but a pain in my ass. I mixed about 4 teaspoons of cornstarch into the ACV before I added it, and really, it was like I didn't do a THING. I can't remember if cornstarch needs to be heated to 'activate' it - so that might have been the issue. I REALLY need to find a better stabilizer though, because the drippies almost had me going crazy. I only managed to keep it on for about 3 hours, but my skin started crawling, so I had to take it off. *sigh* I considering mixing a lil ceteyl alcohol in it, but the fact that it's a wax REALLY bothers me. *sigh* I don't know.

Combs - a LHCF'er found Mason Pearson knockoffs at bigLots, and I checked the local ones here - no combs. I cancelled my eBay order, though, and I'll hopefully be getting a full set (3 full sets, to protect from breakage!) from her soon.... so I'm happy with that.

Mega-Tek - I'm on a daily kick, now - I've used it almost every day this week. I have to be VERY careful as I'm taking my hair up and down since I'm meddling with it daily now. It's teaching me to be much more dainty with my hair, though - as I can 'feel' the additional stress I'm putting on it. I don't plan on taking a new set of progress pictures until May, though, this go around. I'm hoping to be at my chin, esp. if I keep up the daily doses. Here's hoping! I should also be getting into the rapid growth period of the year.

Style - hair is up, up, up. Changed my front part a bit to give it a better angle. Otherwise, I'm boring, as usual.

*think* I think that's it. I mainly wanted to whine about the Caramel. *sigh* Maybe I'll ask the TLHC ladies....

I know the post I am responding to is SUPER old and you probably figured it out by now, but just in case you haven't...I was hemmed up in the natural food store today by a woman who makes all of her own natural products, long story short, she said beeswax is a good solidifier and it is all natural and will be absorbed...
