ooooh im first!    hmmmmmmm...lets see...where to begin!!!???
well, my normal routine (ever since finding these boards) has been to s/c every 3 days (down from every other day before longlocks) but i washed a day early on tuesday because last night was the private showing of the exhibition for art college in which i diplayed my final project which ill be marked on. i wanted to look my spiffy best so obviously the hair was down. i clarifyed with Pantene's clarifying shampoo and then used Pantene's winter repair deep conditioner (i kept it in for aaaages under my *lovely* shower cap). i oiled when wet and was AMAZED when my hair dried....it was sooooooooooooo soft and shiny! my hair LOVES pantene (weird as so many hate the stuff) and im thinking of going back to it as soon as i finish the fructus long and strong im currently using (its good but my hair is never as soft as with pantene...still deciding though).
ive been measuring my hair a lot this month....a week or so a go it had grown about 1/2inch in 2weeks! but i decided to trim a little as the ends were a bit rough. im not going to measure again til the start of july....hope i didnt take too much off! i want classic length hair! *randomness*
today i took the boyfriend to the public viewing of the exhibition...he seemed really impressed...although he does like to tease me about being an art/design student as he's a chemistry student. we've been together loooong enough for me to know he doesnt mean it  men, eh?! hehe

*wow this is a long post!*
im off to wash my hair a day early again cos tomorrows my last day at college and i want to look good for the photo taking that will take place! ill get my result too!!!! *fingers crossed*

yesterday was the last day of my 1year foundation course...it was really sad saying goodbye to my tutor---even if he is a moany git  ----and even sadder saying goodbye to my group.....we were all so close but everyones going away to uni so i wont see them again probably (all my close friends will be living at home so im relieved!) i got my result....i wasnt too happy. a PASS (the grading is FAIL, PASS, MERIT, DISTINCTION) i almost got a merit GRRRRRR!!!! i was so upset i cried when i got home and told my mum...i never cry in front of mum so it was odd.
in the evening i went out with my friends and got a tad drunk (wine goes straight to my head) so all my woes were forgotten!
since my hairs got softer and slippery-er, its more difficult to keep hairstick up dos in all day...madness! so i was constantly redoing it last night.
today i went into town to hand in my CV for a sunday job in a department store I NEED A JOB!!!! i wore my hair in a figure 8 bun with 2 hairsticks so i looked all spiffy and smart 
i went to Claires Accessories and bought my first ficcare!! its black with a square black cross with little black stones on it...so pretty and smooth too! it said it was £3-50 but when i got to the till it was £1!!! woot!
i saw soooooooooooo much long hair in town! everywhere! oo ooo there was an indian lady with hair that was mid-thigh! beautiful    i want hair that long!
im going to try a CO tomorrow....im a greasy sister so i have my doubts but we'll see!!!
until next time folks....! 
~*FB*~

my hair feels gross  tomorrow im going to clarify and deep condition....my hair always feels super duper after that!
ooo ooo ooo...i did my first GOOD french braid today! woo for me! 
~*FB*~

hehe its the start of the month and i measured in at 37" WOOOOO!  *super happy dance* hehe
since i got my lurvely ficcare ive been wearing my hair like this....gather into a pony tail....twist it like your gonna make a bun but fold it in 2 and clip the ends to the back of your head. its tres groovy cos the hair thats hanging down goes all twisty  boyfriend liked it....he said my hair was beautiful today  he likes my long hair *encore of super happy dance* that bodes well for when he has to brush and braid it for me when it gets too long.
he came over today, we watched Family Guy...love that show he gave me a present from his trip to New York a couple of months back (he kept forgetting it...silly).....it was a reeeeeeeally soft white bunny with chocolates!! hehe its dressed in dungarees and has a watering can with Godiva on it...i know thats the chocolate name but i love it cos its hair related!! its soooo cute  and its from Macy's!! not a big deal for american peeps but im from the uk and reeeeeally want to go to america...especially New York! woot!

i washed my hair yesterday. im really noticing positive effects from the Fructus long and strong. my hair is definately smoother, softer , there seem to be less split ends (thank the lord) and there have been less hairs in my comb!!! wooooooooooooooooooo! 
my hair was greasy yesterday before i washed it....MONTHS after switching to washing every 3 days and still my hair hasnt adapted. maybe it wont...im just greasy!  i used i little bit more shampoo to see if that helps the problem. my routine consists of two shampoos....a little bit for the front of my scalp and a little for the back. this way the shampoo doesnt have to sit on a part of my scalp whilst i rub another part  one thing i love about the fructus is that it doesnt completely strip my hair.....its feels soft! thats shampoo! madness!    hehe

ive noticed that my hair has more volume (its fine, medium thickness) if ive had it in up dos eg bun, braid. i wouldve thought that this would flatten it but no! woohoo! i like the fuller, slightly wispy look of my hair after ive let a bun down. but more i love the softness of my hair in general!!!! before i found longlocks i thought my hair just couldnt be soft. thn i found out that i was treating it like crap....but now its wonderful *sighs dreamily* aaaaaaaaaaah hair....

ok...now i rambling!

hehehe *blush*       

i clarifyed and deep conditioned this morning...my hair is so soft and smooth  i LOVE my hair at the moment..it always feels so nice..yay me.
im finally getting good at french braiding so last niht i dampened my hair and put one in to sleep on. when i undid it this morning....WOWIE! my hair was almost curly! i looked soooooo good! i wouldnt have washed it but my roots were so greasy and i want nice clean hair for when i go out for dinner with the boyfriend tomorrow  and i needed to clarify that build up! i like to get it before my hair starts behaving strangely.
i got my application form from the library yesterday..im still job searching..it takes ages!! i;ll be sending that off tomorrow. its cool cos my best friend works at a library so i know what to expect...though we wont be working at the same one cos we live near different branches ***fingers crossed*** man i want a job!
im feeling all fuzzy and joyous at the mo cos everyone was so nice about my picture in the "show us your locks" section....yay...everyone is so nice here. i feel so free and like everyone is a friend   

well....off to eat dinner...mmm...chicken!

hmmmm....now my hairs dry it doesnt seem as soft as usual. maybe i didnt use as much conditioner...maybe i didnt rinse enough...or maybe its because i applied the jojoba oil when my hair was a little dryer than normal.

ew...i just found i some scabbyness on my scalp. ew!
