I washed my hair this past Saturday and wore it out and stretched for the day. and as of this morning I had not wet it or detangled since O_O
Again, I used some old product hiding in the dark of my pantry- Garnier's Pure Clean gel. It promises no flakes, no build up. Lies. It has a decent hold, not extra strong as they claim, and it also has a funny smell. The texture seems so promising though- like a serum. But alas, it just dries... normal. And that's all I have to say about that.
But Sunday I put it up in a high puff. And there it sat until this morning. And when I say there it sat... I mean I did not take it down. I literally pineappled my hair that night- woke up and it looked good like that so I left it. lol. I slept on it (silk pillow cases mmmm), woke up, got in the shower, smoothed the damp edges with my hands and went. day after day lol. But I took these pictures last night- on the 5th day. Aside from tangles beginning to form, and some product flakes, it looked quite alright.
But WHEN did this happen?? I am back at arm pit length already O_O Proof that it will grow back! I am not yet overwhelmed by it and the shape is good so I will let it grow for now. I plan to press it (myself) again in mid-late May and do a very small trim. My ends are quite alright at the moment in fact. Not many knots at all ~11 weeks post trim.
Sounds like me this week ... except I started out with a WNG Sunday that's slowly been creeping up into today's high puff (lazily spritzing with water everyday ... LOL)
ReplyDeleteYou look very pretty with your hair in a puff!
