Term of Office

Tsktsk, I haven't posted in a while.

That means this is gonna get long, naturally. Wasn't I talking about updating every Friday? :lol: Well, I'm close. Every other Friday, or something.

My hair is growing! Well, I mean, it's always growing, but it's on one of those cusps again - where I can tell that it's longer (and thus more stylable) than previously, yet magically not QUITE long enough to hold any of the new styles I try to do with it. *sigh* I'm so glad I do me, cuz otherwise I would be so odd looking.

I somehow lost the battery to my camera *sigh* so it'll be a WHILE before I have any new pics. I think the last ones that I took that showed length was - early June/late May, I think? Ah well, ya know, it bugs me, but it doesn't.

I know my hair is growing, and I know it's growing faster than it normally does - even for a summer spurt. *pleasedwiggle* So - pictures, they will come. Might not be a la minute, but the change, it will be fabulous.

I've come to terms with the fact that I'm almost certain I'm not really going to feel like I have any 'hair' until about 48 months in - 4 years. *sigh* It's - weird. I might have a wee case of hair anorexia, but these natural layers are a so & so. And I realized, as I've been fooling with my hair, that I'm not really going to feel like I have something to work with until the hair from my front hairline can go over my melon head, and touch my nape. One strand, forehead to nape. *sigh* And that's SO going to take a while. Buggering natural layers!

I was traveling, and then sick for a while in there, and I kinda got hair-lazy - stopped doing the twice weekly DC's, stopped doing my Mega-Tek, stopped putting my hair in two strand twists - it was just sad.

I've gotten fired back up this week (though I still didn't do the DC - *sigh* ) and I'm going to try to get back in the habit.

My 8 week cycle is so out of the window, as well. I'm redoing my hairstyle every weekend - My styles/neatness quiotent simply won't tolerate nightly massaging, twice weekly DC's, AND only refreshing the style every other week. And, my hair is soft, so it halos if you look at it too hard. *lol*

Hrm. This is more rambly than usual.....

Right now, the style I'm 'rocking' is 11 'braids' on either side of my head, which are then turned into two flat twists - one on either side.

It's - well, it's a work in process. I really have to perfect my parting game. *sigh* I SUCK at parts, man.

I tried doing a single flat twist from the midtop of my head to the back - not happenening. Mind, my hair wasn't fully stretched, either, so that might have made a difference. In the back it looked nice - but it 'broke' at the high part of my head - ear to ear, I think, is the biggest part of my head. *lmao*

The braided flat twists also want to break in the same place - *pats side of head forlornly* But that's okay - in a little while, this style will too, be in the past.

*sigh*

I should look through that collection of protective style pictures this weekend.

And take notes.

Okay, I think I'm done. Maybe I'll post more, tomorrow. I rambled less than I thought I would.
