Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[divya]

I just told my sweetie that I'm looking at hair porn (he has no clue about LHCF terminology) Waiting for his response...

I just got my aubrey honeysuckle rose conditioner in the mail! I can't wait to try it. I hope it helps soothe my scalp! Co-washing is NOT for me, at least not with the conditioners I've been using.

So while eating dinner with my SO and his parents, his father starts looking at my hair and asked me if I had a weave in my hair. He had just watched "Good Hair" and has been looking at women's hairlines since! I thought it was too cute, cause clearly he meant no harm he just genuinely wanted to know.

Are you going to use the AHR for co-washing? It is VERY thick and may not work out too well, just fyi

 

[HoneyCoated]

My random thought is: I was just thinking how long my hair would be now if I had started my hair care journey earlier in my life. If only I knew then what I know now.

No, I wasn't planning on using it for co-washing. I was planning to use it as a deep conditioner but I'm a little confused about how to use it. It says to use it before shampooing. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of deep conditioning? Should I use this along with another deep conditioner? How do y'all use it?

Keep in mind I'm not the AOHR expert. I'm using my 1st bottle. The instructions on all of AO conditioners is to use it on dry hair 1st when using as a DC & then shampoo. I think this works great. However, I use the Terresentials Mud Wash as my poo & it's conditioning as well so I'm not sure if that's why it works so well or not.

I also use it for co-washing. It is thick but I'm not sure why that would make it unsuitable for co-washing. So far I've used it daily for the past week for co-washing w/o any negative effects.

HTH...

i'm wondering whether i should stop braiding my hair for 2012

the reason being, when i take braids out, and i comb, i find alot of good hair on my comb, that hasn't fallen out before I braided my hair. so it must be the braids.

also i look at the hair strands that have fallen out individually, and altho the ones with a white bulb are oke, i seem to find many that don't have this, indicating that this hair has broken off. i notice this everytime i comb after taking braids out. and it's not the combing, as i'm THE most gentle detangler. i sit for hours detangling gently

Thanks nakialovesshoes. I'll definitely try a few different things... I need a natural shampoo. The mud wash sounds interesting. I need to work out something with these delivery men like "knock three times then hide around the corner and wait for me to come get the box" cause dh is not trying to hear about me buying anymore hair products.

I need to join the Use 1 Buy 1 Challenge in 2012. I'm going to buy a few more products in 2011 before I do that though. *guilty chuckle*

GoddessMaker, i'm lovin' your positivity, honey! it's a dangerous game when you start to compare regimens, retention rates, and the like, because we forget that each of our bodies are different, and what we put into ourselves directly reflects what comes out/ the tangible realities...stress is def an enemy to hair growth, and i'm happy you have found a supportive community in LHCF. when it gets tough, just put on India's "I am not my hair", and meditate to it. yes, it's fine to want to have a certain style of hair. no, it's not fine to make your life and personality revolve around it. but i think you have the perfect balance. so proud, my southern sister! so proud!

Feeling these BeeMine products.The poo's where ok but the conditioners where awesome.I also like the aloe vera gel and oil prepoo..my hair felt so soft and had major slip while I finger detangled.Off to research how to properly detangle natural hair.

natural beauty

Saw one of my out of town BFFs during the holiday & was shocked to see that she has gone natural. She had about 18 months of growth. She was so beautiful!

I was already thinking about making that move and seeing her was encouraging.

 

[PinkGirlFluff]

I must say no to stress for a while. My hair is falling out from the root because of it and I can't have that. I may have a lot of hair but I don't want to lose any of it over things I cannot change. One really great thing about being natural is that I'm paying more attention to my hair health which is making more look more into my health overall.

@Nix08 Im going to have to come to Canada and meet your dd she is too cute if its not hair she is wiggling her lady painted finger tips..I love that you allow her to be a girl.

haha GoddessMaker It's really ladies like you that have encouraged me to allow her to enjoy being a girl rather than thinking it's 'fast' behaviour after all I'm thoroughly enjoying being a girl myself

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone can do me a quick favour and just check if my blog's favicon is showing? A favicon is the little icon/image that appears next to the url. Mine is supposed to be a red bow. Preferably someone that uses Google Chrome and/or Safari but I really just need anyone to test it out. Thanks in advance ladies if you decide to help. <3

 

[Incognitus]

Aireen It's showing on Firefox but not on Google Chrome.

Incognitus, thank you for testing! It's showing for me on Google Chrome but I'm not sure if I got the code changed after you posted this comment... Meh, I'm getting a headache with this constant fixing, I'll try later.

If anyone else doesn't mind testing please do since I might have changed the coding a bit.

Nix08 see your allowing her to be a girl is so much better than forcing her like I was growing up.Your allowing her to do the things she likes in beauty instead of making her feel she has too..I want a little girl just for dress up and pretty time..I will be like Victoria Beckham with my baby girl with me at all time.

I look forward to finally washing my hair tomorrow. It's been more than a couple of weeks. I think I will rollerset, too.

[choctaw]

A package or box of henna plus conditioner = no drips, can freeze it, great dye release, no dry hair after wash out
