Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Raspberry]

Sally's Cyber Monday deal is looking might tempting.. 25% of an online purchase of $50 or more. I've been eyeing the Caruso curlers..

Yooo. I have to get this off my chest. I absolutely can't stand when people look hit when making a YouTube video, I'm not talking about looks you have no control over but looking like you give a d--- about basic upkeep in front of (potentially) thousands of people across the world. This applies to men and women but since I've been watching a ton of hair vids lately Imma focus on women right now. Why do some people do vids right after rolling out of bed looking extra crusty? I had to turn off a vid yesterday with this chick who could barely keep her eyes open and sounded all scratchy voiced and mealy mouthed.. I could almost smell her morning breath, ugh.

And please if you're going to lecture folks about whatever hair issue please have yours looking presentable. At the end of the day hair is mostly aesthetic, few will care about what you have to say if yours looks busted.

I was hoping to avoid washing my hair while in the mini twists (so they'd last longer), but my scalp just was not having it. I don't jump on many bandwagons, but went out and purchased some borax. I've tried damn near everything else. While other things have worked, I don't have lasting results. So I said what the heck. My scalp feels great, but it always feels great after a wash. The real test on whether this is a keeper will be once a few days have passed. I really would like to get to a point, where I can sport flat-ironed hair, braids, twists, heck maybe even a weave, without having to worry about my scalp.

I hope all this washing with organic stuff,cornrowing,prepooing,and such will eventually pay off to APL hair.It feels silly to pay all this money on stuff and looking crazy at the gym for hair that is only CBL after 4 years..ok rant over.

i had to do that last night and today. i love the massaging my scalp under the shower head! that's why i like to cowash/shampoo, rinse every few days. i was trying to explain this to my SO. he was like, "you are addicted to washing your hair!"

I think it's time for me to hop in the shower and feel my scalp up.

I didn't know I could still order from Claudine! I thought it was just for Black Friday.

I really need to find a regi and stick to it. Also need to find my staple products. Oh I also need to start back doing a light protein treatment every week. My hair needs it.

Rinsed out henna gloss with water. Did an oil rinse with neem and brahmi oils. Applied neem oil to edges and ends. Braid hair to dry.

Amazed by the fact that almost a year ago when I started this HHJ all I could think about is getting back into my sew in because I wasn't feeling my own hair & thought it was as good as it was going to get. Now that I have a regime and seeing great progress (almost APL!!) I have been stalling on getting my sew in done. Have had my good weave hair sitting in the corner staring at me in disgust. I'm going to miss my scalp too much, I think. But a winter PS is in order. Maybe after Christmas...

Hmmm. Scalp is starting to like commercial shampoos, even non-sulfate ones, less and less. Washed hair yesterday and am craving a neem/tulsi tea rinse to help with the itchies today. Back to ayurveda and clay masks for me .

 

[FoxxyLocs]

I stalk all the challenge threads so I can scroll through and look at the progress pics. SL, BSL, it doesn't matter. Gotta get my fix, lol.

Can't wait until Sunday, Wash my hair and put it back up under my wigs. Exercise and my hair in a pony means frizz

 

[10WordzOrLess]

Washed, Conditioned, Moisturized,l Twisted...Then I threw a wig on.

 

[ms.tatiana]

I baggy my ponytail & it was so nice. Might baggy more other because I need to balance my moisture & protein.

Some crazy lady was in Rite Aid trying to pressure me into buying a Jolt energy drink today. First of all she was already hyped up so she didn't need it but she was also saying how it grew her hair, talkin 'bout "yea girl I was like I got some hair now!!" lol: ). I just smiled and nodded cause she was pressed and a close talker but I did notice Jolt has B vitamins (like Biotin) so maybe she's onto something

 

[Napp]

why am i broke on cyber monday

 

[HanaKuroi]

Nonononono the revised Denman is too much for my hair. First the tangleteaser had me with a halo of breakage last spring. Now, I am seeing the random breakage and too much hair pulled out with the Denman. I even had the Denman with fewer plastic rows. I am done.

Soo today was the first day I wore my twa to work since being off for the holiday. I have gotten more strange looks than not and a couple of compliments. One co-worker thought it was a curly weave... idk why or how.. lol men. smh lol. The men cowokers (black)are puzzled as to why I would cut my APL hair to a curly twa. The older white women I work with love it. I was asked if i am trying to "lock" my hair since my hair naturally curls into little spiral curls ....and I politely said no. I think I am one of the very few naturals within my company.


Just an interesting day at the office.

I think I am going to take my hair down this weekend. Deep condition and prepare for my next install.

 

[Evolving78]

i'm getting my dryer this Friday! i can't wait!

 

[NikkiQ]

Think I'm going back into a set of twists soon. I really enjoyed rockin my twist out

 

[Sade']

I really wanna texlax...lemme think about this one as I search texlax threads.

 

[Raspberry]

See now I just read that satin scarves are inferior because they are really only treated polyester, and that 100% silk is the real deal. *sigh* I can't stand yall.. now I won't sleep right until I get a real silk scarf smh.

 

[-PYT]

I've found my twistout groove again. After this challenge, I'll rock them more often

 

[RoundEyedGirl504]

I really want to BC again but the growing out process is such a *****! And I know I never keep it short too long before I start letting it grow out - let me sit tight until 2012!

I'm surprised that at 15 weeks post my hair has spiral curls at the roots. I am honestly slightly intimidated by it. I had a very hard time detangling my hair because of the different textures. My hair has been relaxed since before I can remember so this is very new to me.

You might need to increase your moisture Baggie and start and start DC ing more often with a moisturizing conditioner.
Also you may want to check your daily styles for tension at the nape

i am scared to flat iron my hair after that self trim. it's gonna be looking all kinds of uneven and if i see non-blunt ends ima get itchy and just chop my hair off. and i'm so torn. i'm all about health and keeping up my blunt ends, but damn, i need APL effin hair for christmas. and i just realized from looking at my progress pics that the distance from SL to APL is long as hell on my body. like miles from each other.

at least all my heat damage is gone now! except for the blasted very front. the damn front of my hair is so fickle. it grows slowly, is finer, and a looser texture so it wants to hang down all stoopid in all my styles. i wanna tell it to get its **** together for real...

 

[Kn0ttyByNatur3]

got to oil my scalp!

 

[Nonie]

If my calculations are correct, yesterday made the 7th dusting session of the year...and uh oh, it's also the last dusting of the year. Feels odd saying that--that I will not be dusting again until next year. Seems so far away. :crazy:
