Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[divachyk]

I was talking all big and bad that I wanted blunt cut ends and nicely trimmed hair. I'm now getting cold feet. 2 days until I must decide.

[NikkiQ]

Feeling like a frump a dump lately. I gotta snap out of this.

 

[divachyk]

Nix08 --> Pretty hair you have there.

 

[Nix08]

@divachyk it's your beloved banana clip that I am now in love with Thank you for the compliment

Banana clips are the bomb. I have been using them every since I saw divachyk mention them in the bunning challenge

 

[Nix08]

divachyk and winona I just got mine at walmart are there things to look for in a good banana clip?

 

[divachyk]

Nix08 and winona - I purchased some medium size banana clips from the internet and loved the size but they are too fragile for my hair. The size was slightly smaller than the traditional banana clips found in Walmart. I've snapped two or three of those thangs in about a month's time span. I love the medium clips because I can wrap my bun around it and my hair hides the clips...kinda like in my siggy. I place my clip horizontally, then bun. I don't put much effort into shopping for clips. They are cheap enough to buy them when they snap. My BSS offers them 3 for $1 (in black). Online pricing was higher because they were colorful. I've purchased some decorative clips from the BSS but my hair usually covers up the prettiness so I buy basic black clips now.

i just don't know how people wear buns every. single. day. it drives me crazy after just 3 days...

Why didn't anyone tell me how good TRESemme conditioner smelled???

I got a dollar bottle from wal-mart (I love there little dollar mouthwash and hair products). I can't wait until I co-wash, because I love the smell!!!

 

[NappyNelle]

I'm committed to my hair journey. I used to not care; but now, I really do.

 

[winona]

divachyk and Nix08 I just get mine from Ulta the Elle brand. I like them because they are more rounded which allows me to hide them better

 

[NYAmicas]

I just cant take the thickness of my hair anymore. It puffs up and looks crazy no matter what style I do, smh.

 

[Aireen]

Rocky91, I hear you and to be honest, I don't feel I look my best in buns. I always feel a little scrappy and dressed down. erplexed

 

[adamson]

I think I've gotten to a point where my hair is staying moisturized.

 

[lux10023]

[missjones]

I need to find something to deep condition my braids with. I'll just look for some cheap conditioning treatment.

 

[LushLox]

Creme of Nature Argan Oil Foam Wrap is BEAUTIFUL! I got fabulous results using this, new HG!

 

[SuchaLady]

I am going to look for some banana clips today. Im about to go to Walmart in an hour or two. And wash my hair. Since Im not cooking tonight I am forcing myself to do it.

 

[PPGbubbles]

I adored my shrunken hair but as I approach BSL its too cumbersome to style since I like to workout often I think I will be straight/ blownout or weaved up for a while. I refuse to be a slave to my head

I relaxed my hair about 4 weeks ago now. I was 16 wks post and I used a no-lye relaxer (which I haven't used in almost 7 years now) and it didn't take...

....I wonder if this is a sign. Hmmm...

This is me. Hence, I stay in a bun.

i was looking through Natural Curly archives and found some interesting info concerning humectants. one poster suggested placing oil on the hair first before using a product that contains glycerin. this way it has created a barrier to block the humectant from robbing your hair of moisture, but will sit on top of the hair shaft which adds moisture and protection. this sounds like something that will work for me when the winter comes.

Nonie hit that on the head about folks detangling once a week. i am learning that i need to finger detangle daily. my hair is prone to tangles and knots and the shed hairs get caught up in the mix. retwisting my hair at night has made my life a little better when it comes to detangling on wash day.

Last night he asked me about my hair journey and how it was going





I was so shocked. I couldn't even stop smiling

 

[winona]

Next week I am going to attempt to do crochet braids. I really need to keep my hands out of my hair and concentrate on school. I sometimes take my hair down just because I want to touch it not because it needs moisture.
