Spring is here!!

Hey fam,

So I had my first "I'm tired of this s*%&" moment with my hair two days ago. I was trying to rationalize to my husband why I should pay $125 to have my hair retightened. I didn't really have a good argument except, "I don't feel like it." I mentioned to him that I was considering chopping all my hair off and doing something else with it. What was scary to me was that I dreaded doing my hair so much that I was actually considering it. I am down to it taking me just two days now to fully retighten. I gained some perspective and realized how silly it was of me to think that. After all I took the retightening class so that I would save money and not be at someone else's mercy for my hair maintenance. Plus you get such a feeling of accomplishment when you look in the mirror after you're done that's priceless. Now that I have freshly tightened locks I'm back to loving my hair :-)

Anyhoo, spring is here and summer is right down the street. So I keep telling myself I am gonna lose about 10 lbs so I can be totally confident about wearing summer clothes. I know that I need to cut down on eating some and definitely exercise more. I haven't been that successful with either yet. Since school is out coming up I won't have much going on so I really will try to exercise more. I got some cool birthday cards from family and I'm meeting a friend for lunchtime sushi tomorrow. Joe is taking me out to dinner and saturday we're meeting some friends for dinner. Tomorrow I'm also getting a facial and eyebrows threaded and a massage. So the next couple days should be fun. I can't believe I'm turning 32. Sometimes I don't feel like a grown up.

I feel like I should be saying something else but I can't think of it. Well that's it for now.


Later babies,
Tee

This post is good timing. I just hung up the phone trying to reach a new salon to get my retightning done. I too, took the retightening class, but I feel so lazy on doing my own retightening this time around. I started but I still have the majority of the middle to complete and I just don't feel like it. But reading your post about going to someone else on there time and spending $125 if not more just doesn't seem to be the alternative! Thanks again!

Make it easy on yourself by doing half of your head one weekend and the other half the following weekend. I used to do this and found that I saved so much more time, but it was still a lot of work. My re-ti's were only $25/hr, but because I have so much hair my consultant went over time (longer than 4 hrs.), so I ended up paying more than expected every time, and my hair grows fast. I knew that something had to change, so i'm glad that I became a DIYer and just made it work for me.




it's starting to look much better the more I do it
