When its wedding time, we'll have the nikkah a couple days before the wedding reception. Most will have it on friday and then the reception on sunday. They're always within a few days of each other. The bridal shower is about a month or two before the wedding.

Where are you from?

awww that is, mashallah. That's gonna be my little sister in a few years inshallah. She wants a white husband (a convert like our mom) cuz she's seen desi drama from my mom's and my experiences. I hope she finds a good guy inshallah. haha I just had a really random thought... my kids will be 3/4 desi and hers will be 3/4 white

Ok so no papers or tests til monday so early bedtime tonight! Nite everyone

i think there is a product which helps u fix things with hair gone wrong but i have noooo idea what it is or what its called. maybe talk to a beautician about it ?

Salika: omg that sounds awful, im sorry

Last summer I tried to dye my hair dark golden brown once and turned the top of my hair + the scalp orange. (The hubby got a real kick out of that!) Then I dyed it back to my normal color twice and both times it faded in a week. I then tried to even out the rest with henna cuz in the past I only used henna and it would lighten all over like 3 shades and looked quite nice. Well...it reacted with the color already on the hair and turned huge chunks of it orangey-red. Total nightmare..

I went to Sally Beauty Supply and they recommended using a haircolor-removing kit but I was too scared that my hair would fall out. I went to the salon and my friend there used this awesome color on my hair to even it out to a normal-looking dark brown with high/lowlights. She didnt bleach or anything, just dyed over it and it worked alhamdulillah b/c they use top quality stuff from Germany (its also the kind of stuff that's safe to use for pregnant women).

I went to a place called BJ Grand Salon & Spa, I dunno if its a national thing or only in central Illinois. They have a website, u could go check out their locations

ya, I'm going to go to a beautician and just let her fix it.

it's breaking just a tad, will condition help?

Breaking because of the dye? I hope that's not what you mean! I switched to Treseme a long time ago and it helped a lot with my hair issues. Also if you can stand the smell, put mayonnaise in your hair for like an hour every other week (unless you have oily hair). It has the same effect as a protein mask that you would otherwise pay $20+ for at a salon. Protein mask usually coats the hair with a protein layer to make it stronger

Thanks.. ok, so there's hope. whew.. thanks.

Ya, it might be breaking actually, good thing I only did some of it. I'm gonna put some conditioner so it doesn't get too damaged (coconut oil, great conditioner)

it's just the blonde didn't quite work out evenly so it's like not even, i guess if a beautician can just fill it in it'll be ok insha'Allah

ya, from the dye

I brushed it and all this hair came out but I don't see any damage on my head. I think whatever is breaking is done breaking (ya, I had my hair dyed before). I'm just gonna put in coconut oil in overnight, wash it and pray the beautiian has a spot for me tomorrow... it just needs filling in the gaps methinks insha'Allah

and make dua mom doesn't kill me

I've died my hair exactly once in my life. I was 7 years old, and my mom died my hair red so I could dress up as Pipi Longstokcing for Halloween. It was a super temporary dye too, only lasted for 2 weeks. I've never permed (from a box or otherwise) my hair either. My hair is naturally which can be really irritating. It won't style, it just won't do anything but be really curly.

My mom's hair relaxed every time she had kids. I kinda hope my will too, but it hasn't shown any signs of relaxing yet.

[sumiyia]

wow i'm glad i've never dyed/permed/straightened/etcetera'd my hair ever... i only give myself funky haircuts from time to time...
