*** Early Start 2013 Waist & Hip Challenge ***

@kkty83, Beautiful hair! you should be at wsl in no time!

@Mrskraizy: I am the same.. lol, just doing the regular. But hey, less manipulation works! Lol, My hair breaks to easily, maybe because of the relaxers weakening it. so Low-Mani is my friend!

@Njoy, Thanks girlie, Im trying to hang in there.. It seems like my hair retain more thickness then length.. I'm almost 5 months post-relaxer. I usually break between 3-4 months. So this is the longest I have went. Hopefully I can just do 2 touch ups a year to help with over processing.

I wonder why steamers break so easily, I was thinking about investing in one. I heard it really conditions the hair..

I wonder why steamers break so easily, I was thinking about investing in one. I heard it really conditions the hair..   I think it's me.  I rough 'em up.  When I'm done using it, I don't store it away in a safe place right away. I have a spot for it in my bedroom but, it's not easily accessible.  Therefore, it's fair game for hubby to keek banging into it.  I know for sure he knocked my first one over and it didn't survive the injuries.  I think he was jealous.  Also, I tend to grab it by the hood to lift it up and over the cute (but sort of large) basket that I keep my satin scarves in.   And even tho I keep breaking them, I'm still ordering a new one.  I asked around and found a heavy duty, sturdy professional one that i'm ordering tonight.  My steamer is my best investment made for my hair.    Today, I also purchased a freestanding ionic dryer from Sally's.  I have NO idea where I'm gonna put that.  I barely have space for my steamer.  I'm thinking my hubby may have to give up his home office.  I'm not sure how I'm gonna break it to him but, hey.  It's either give up the home office for my personal salon OR buy me another house.  Either way works for me.
