Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Incognitus]

I do think that when you're thinner it looks like you have more hair though.

Still trying to figure out what I'm going to do with my hair this winter. I need to start ps plus I have concerns about frequent washing and catching a cold. I'm either doing box braids, sew-in, quick weaves, or corn rows with extensions.

rinsed out henna paste with water. hair felt strong, not dry. did an oil rinse and used flat beer for leave-in. my hair felt like a cloud. applied ojon restorative treatment to edges, ends, distributed with denman. braid to dry.

Lots of studying. Had an exam, I think I did well. How're you?

JUst washed my hair/ clarified. Over the weekend I could FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL the buildup/ that weird "rubbery" feeling your hair gets when it's dirty/ full of product...

So I just washed/ shampooed it after about 2 hours with a pre-poo on (just JBCO and EVOO...truly nada special), and clarified. hair is drying now, without any product, etc. in the morning i'll rewet it a bit and throw some DC in there, and let my hari DC itself under a cap for the better part of the day!!!

*sigh* I must remember to start taking Claritin or Zirtec 2 days before henna. I have a sinus headache out of this world. I did the last time too. Why oh why didn't I remember?

 

[KimPossibli]

I really need to get on the protective style bandwagon..

I never have the patience to do or keep my own twists and my edges can't handle anymore stress from too rough braiders...

 

[Evolving78]

these rollers are made a little too cheap for me. i broke three of them, trying to put them in my hair. i need to search for the goody brand.

2 years ago, my life was meticulously planned out and it was going to be dang near perfect. Everything fell apart within a matter of weeks, and now I'm living a totally different life. Yesterday I was taking stock of everything, and was doing the, 'If this hadn't happened, I'd be here now, etc'. But the one thing that kept replaying in my head was, if everything hadn't have fallen apart, I would have never had the balls to go natural. And I freaking LOVE my natural hair. Lol crazy perspective.

I really can relate to that. I had been wanting to BC for nearly a year but never had the guts to cut off my APL hair. After I had a break-up at the beginning of the year, I needed a new change and decided to self-BC randomly. I needed a distraction and to see myself in a new light......
so happy that bastid dumped me! Now i have a puff

 

[PinkGirlFluff]

I have come to the conclusion that I favor big hair on myself. I tried to rock some twists again and I missed the cloud that is my hair.

 

[Dreamer48]

I think my mini twists are causing breakage

 

[melisandre]

I really want to buy a steamer, but I've been spending too much lately. Maybe I'll wait 'til Christmas and buy it for myself as a gift.

 

[Embyra]

Creme of Nature Argan Oil Moisture and Shine Shampoo is finally here just ordered mine this better work better than QP Creme Conditioning Shampoo!!!

 

[CaliiSwagg]

days like this I wish I had no hair...

 

[loved]

I'm thinking of letting go of the relaxer, but still wearing my hair straight with heat - sorta like Reniece did. I really don't want to deal with a Florida Evans do during the transition.

 

[Embyra]

My deep condition i done last week really kept my curls nice and smooth so im going to do the cherry lola this week and compare the results i still have the mix in the freezer

 

[cocosweet]

I've been noticing fewer short, broken pieces of hair when I wash or style it. Maybe I should use Aubrey GPB every week instead of once a month. Sunday was the second time I used it this month.

 

[kittenz]

Slow grower here. I'm soooo ready to chop but I'm scurred. I only have about 4"and it'll probably shrink to 0".

Was Going To Use My Shea Mositure Coconut Shampoo But Found Out My Sister Stole It From Me.

@blackrose - steamers are divine!

@lesedi and @tapioca_pudding - I'm sorry to hear of the bumps in the road but it seemed to have been blessings in disguise.

@cocosweet - I get this from time to time and use a protein conditioner as a leave-in (Millcreek Biotin) throughout the week and/or a protein reconstructor (SSI Okra) on wash day to help mitigate the problem. I try to keep my protein on schedule (every 2 weeks) so when I see the tiny pieces, I typically opt for Millcreek and then treat with my SSI Okra as scheduled.

I've gotten sooo lazy with my BSL hair! I've had twists in for three weeks (I redo the front and back weekly and have detangled and redone them fully once since then bc they get messy!).

I like them because I can wear them down so easily! Or ponytail, bun, braid, whatever! And it's cute! It's kinda like straight hair for me.

 

[Jewell]

I so want to go on a spending spree at AyurNatural Beauty. Good thing my bday is coming up soon! (But on 2nd thought, I'd rather just buy a new gun or some new firearm accessories--forget the hair stuff). POW!

I'm loving the big, fluffy blow-dried look I'm rocking now. Gives me just enough ease of styling and maintenance vs. being tightly curled, and doesn't require tons of heat or lots of manipulation. LongHairDon'tCare2011's regimen is really working for me.

Last night I shampooed/ clarified, and let it airdry over night without product.

This morning slathered some Silk Elements DC and Kenra Moisturizing conditioner in mmy hair, put on a plastic cap, tied a silk scarf around the cap, popped on a baseball cap, and went off to class!!

I've been DC-ing for 8 hrs, feelin' all proud and sneaky! DCing in plain sight!!

 

[nappystorm]

I got my Sabino, b!tchezzzz :Copy of 2cool: I sooo want to wash my hair but I just washed and straightened it Friday. and I don't want to risk the heat damage.

I wore my short blond wig Sat. night and I was killing em!! I look nice as a blond. Can Target go ahead and send my gift card so I can replace my camera?

 

[NJoy]

I guess I should've remembered from April that henna sets my allergies off.

Note to Self: Start Zirtec or Claritin 2 days prior to using henna. This sinus headache is not the bizness.

 

[ms.tatiana]

Okay I've watched all the youtube videos on U-Wigs I could find and now I got everything I need to make my own. Since I'm new to this I got some 11.99 hair 2 packs and because Thursday nights are party nights for college students I'll have the wig ready by then, right now I gotta finish studying for these midterms.....

Feeling a bit natural hair discourage lately. I just don't know what I'm doing and I'm losing confidence in myself. I don't want to do anything drastic, but I really need to think things over.
