Sorry for the delay..

I've been pretty busy for the past few weeks, with summer work, getting the last few days in of hanging out with my buddies before school starts back up.
I haven't exactly been adventuresome with my hair lately, I just don't think about it.
Anyway, the other day I had to drive over an hour to the DMV [the one nearest to me is absolutely horrendous] and we got there around 10:30 a.m. We waited around for about an hour and then the lady told us that driving tests don't start until 3 p.m. Lovely.
So my mom and I drove back to go eat somewhere [where a waitress told me I had pretty hair.], we went to the bank, and then to Walgreens [where I found a tube of Aloe gel and a 30 oz. bottle of Suave Coconut =) Yay!] and then finally drove back to the DMV and waited another hour. Needless to say, I was exhausted.
Long story short, I got my license and as my picture was printing out she said that she likes my hair much better now than when I got my permit [when I still straightened it all the time]. It suits me better.
I'll try harder to update more often.

Raise your hand if you never remember to update.

*Raises hand*
I don't really have a lot to report on to be honest. Although I did have a fabulous hair day today. Pictures unavailable because a lady I'd just met ran her fingers through my freshly scrunched-out-crunch hair.
I was fuming.
But just to say, I used Jessicurl Hair Cleansing Cream because my hair was starting to feel a bit gross. I conditioned with Suave Coconut and a bit of TooShea. My normal protein-filled styler was put aside today because my hair was feeling a little dry. Too much of a good thing, you know? So I reverted back to my lovely Gelebration spray. I put Loreal Lasting Curls gel as a frizz fighter and HESMU gel. I diffused for about 20 minutes or so and about 2-3 hours later, scrunched out the crunch [right after I found out that we had company.
Then came the, "Is this your natural hair? Does it really curl like this?" complete with the raking of the fingers through my hair.
I was highly upset. I worked hard for that hair and she ruined it! Then started telling me about Redken products because she sells them! No, lady. I don't need your products.

I'll try the same routine tomorrow. *sigh*

I keep forgetting I have this thing...

So I haven't updated in a few days, so I figured that I would today.
Since then I have tried to wave my best friend's hair just with gel and Gelebration spray and tried to "curl" it with a curling iron.
Things I have learned:
*Naturally straight hair really does exist. I didn't believe it until then.
*I don't know how to deal with fine, straight hair. It boggles my mind. Funny how things work like that.
*Her hair will not hold a curl, no matter how hard I try. We have to come to terms with this fact.


After "Waving".

After "Curling" with a curling iron.

In other news, I tried Biotera today. I didn't get bad results, but they weren't fabulous. I think I need a lot more hold than it offers, but I will admit that my hair feels very soft and is frizz-free. Always good.
