Thinking Out Loud - TOLT *7*

Thinking Out Loud

• I HATE being sick!!
• Trying to sleep it away, but its not working. Have a headache and tons of stuff in my nose and throat. eeeewwww!
• Thanksgiving was fun! I'm happy about that.
• Very happy to have my MBP fixed as well... Even though they completely wiped the machine!
• Cant believe my son completely wiped my cell phone! Lost everything, contacts, email, apps... Everything gone!
• So yea, I am starting off completely fresh and am a little lost. I backed up everything or almost everything so its ok, for the most part.
• Ive been really into the Crochet braids lately. I think i'm going to wear them one more month and then try something different.
• Ive been watching John Carter on Starz on demand over and over. I love that movie!!
• I'm a little addicted to Movies On Demand and Netflix.

We need to talk about Steven - This movie is horrible!(but good at the same time) And it really shows what can happen when you dont do anything about a problem child. There are some things you can not ignore and the way he behaved for all those years without any guidance is shameful. The father was completely oblivious to his sons behavior and ultimately paid for it in a way he never expected.

I cant imagine what she is going through in the movie or the mothers of kids who actually did this kind of thing in real life for that matter. How can you even show your face after something like that.


This movie is on Starz OD as well.

Cutting and shaping Crochet Braid Mohawk

Yea, so I had to get my laptop fixed and am finally able to get this vid up.

I'm still sick so, slacked on the voiceover a little. Meh....

I'll have the giveaway video posted as soon as I'm feeling a little better. ughh..

Anyways, this video is pretty self explanatory. I cut the mohawk into layers, shorter on top and longer on the bottom.

I love the way it came out and am looking forward to chopping up my next style. I love cutting hair. :)

Hair Diary *7* - Sulfur Oil

I ordered a pound of sulfur powder from a chemical supplier online. I said I wasnt going to use any growth aids but since I have used this several times in the past I decided to go back to it.

For me sulfur helps to eliminate shedding and it does slightly increase my growth rate. I do not believe I have ever gained an entire inch per month of use, but I do remember receiving noticeable growth.

I mixed up an 8oz bottle of oils and in it I put 1 teaspoon of the sulfur powder.

For the oils I used:
1.5oz Grapeseed
1.5oz Hazelnut
3oz EVOO
2oz Castor

I have been rubbing it into my scalp every night before I go to sleep. So far it has really helped. My scalp is nice and moisturized, no flakes and I kind of already have new growth. :) cool
