Is fraught with giant boulders of dryness. I just can't....

Product Review: Manetabolism Vitamins

Image
Ok. Before I start, I just want to say...I was the biggest skeptic about hair growth vitamins. I tried biotin for a couple of months and the only things that grew were my nails and my cystic acne (which at my age is not pretty). So I don't expect much from vitamins that claim to "grow hair fast". Until Manetabolism. What is it? How did you find it?

You know how I was raving about cantu my last post? Well...*smacks lips* lemmi tell you... I was using it every week thinking it was cool because it only had wheat protein and it was like number 14 on the ingredients list.

Ringa Linga - 8 weeks + styling

Image
That time has come again! I've broached the 8 weeks post barrier, at this point any contact with my hair results in breakage. Last week I attempted curls (using flexi rods) as a defense against the scourge of retention. Since I only had 12 (supply fail) the roots were pretty exposed and the front part wasn't pretty. The back however! Looked quite good. This will definitely be attempted again with more! more! more!
