Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Britt]

I plan on washing and deep conditioning my hair tmrw morning and then going to the salon and let them rollerset and blow the roots.

I hope I don't look too ratchet doing this, I know most chicks up here do it to save a few $ but I'm doing it b/c I'm super anal about my hair. I want to use my shampoo bar at home, and liberally deep condition and detangle my hair this way all they have to do is just wash out the conditioner and rollerset. A shampoo bar is probably too foreign to them and I like to apply my deep conditioner and take my time to comb it through and make sure every single inch of my hair is slathered in conditioner and then use my heating cap for a good 30 minutes - especially being 14 wks post.

Tamster: That would not be weird. I do it with my Lauren lace front and it looks great.

My hair has grown so much since my chop. The shape of my hair is already different. I'm amazed at how smooth everything is going.

Blahhhhhh.

I'm really diggin this Wen 613 cleanser. It's obscenely expensive, but it's a lot of product, I don't cowash too often, and this doesn't make my hair feel super overconditioned like a lot of other cowash cleansers do. This might be a keeper, but I pray I only have to buy it once every year or so!!

I am so pissed right now. So I went to an indian grocer to buy some henna and I bought the Nupur henna blend for $9.99 so why did I go to another one nearby and found the same henna for $2.99?! WTF?!

Why not just take it back? Then you can buy 3 boxes for the price of 1.

Why does my hair feel thinner as it gets longer?!

I see this little girl in the nail salon with neglected hair. Im not against girls with relaxers if you're willing to keep it up. But don't do it otherwise.

I made two U part wigs that I love. It is so convenient I should have done it sooner. I can take care of my hair, protect it when I feel like it, and wear it out whenever I want. They are so convenient! After a year, my hair is finally back to being soft thanks to JBCO. *Off to oil my scalp and rub it on my ends* This six months protective style challenge will be easier than I thought.

Hair you will be better next year.I'm noticing my hair isn't shrinking up as much when I cornrow.I have a bit of hang time now that its a week old set.I won't do anything to my hair until Sunday or Monday morning..I just can't be bothered.If I go anywhere that needs me to look like a girl I will plop my old Carmen wig back on even though its time to retire her I have 4 more days of work before the new year and I won't change until Jan 3rd.

i bought hair toys! i have been waiting all week to buy them. now to search bun threads on how to wear this crap!

shortdub78 i just bought loads too. I'm planning on jazzing up my braidouts - headbands make me look juvenille but a small flower or a pretty clip looks a little more sophisticated on me.

 

[Bublin]

Why the hell has it taken me sooo long to realise my hair has protein overload? Too many threads suggesting the use of protein when your hair is breaking when all i needed was moisture products. My poor hair was dying of thirst.
I heart Keracare and CON Argan Oil products.

Already used it before I decided to go there and check his price.

I'm still in shock, but I let my mom cut 3 inches from my hair yesterday. I was sick all week and I had straightened my hair prior for a trim. But as I improved, I was still itching for a cut and so in a delirium I called my mom to help me cut it. Maybe I should have waited until I was fully better. Surprisingly, it doesn't look too bad, maybe a little past BSL, but still...

 

[leiah]

I think I have gained back most of what I cut off
I just tried my new turban towel thing and my hair was too long for it!

I've just now realized that these little wispy pieces at my nape and hairline are breakage - from the collar of my coat and my cotton pillowcase. Still it doesn't bother me too much

Isn't it sad when you see something like that? I guess it is more important for Momma to keep up on her fill-in's than it is to make sure her daughter's hair is healthy and cute.

 

[SuchaLady]

jillybean2012 I was able to get a closer look. It didn't look as bad as I thought. She had a sandy brown color that can look dry when it's not so it actually wasn't damaged just not brushed. Lol.

Does anyone else do things to their hair when they can't sleep? I was dead tired yet for some reason I couldn't get to sleep...so I decided to rinse my dc (which I was gonna do when I woke up).

Other things I do when I can't sleep...

Make up ridiculous baking recipes that don't work
Sing

Now I'm wide awake...

It's my nappiversary!!! 3 years natural today!

 

[Lissa0821]

I have noticed that since I have switched back to no lye relaxer, my hair responds well to moisturizing conditioners. The problem is most of my deep conditioners I have on hand are mixture of protein and moisture from my days of lye relaxers. So I have to try out new deep conditioners for my hair, while my current conditioners will be begin to collect dust.

I trimmed my own ends today for the first time ever! I'm so proud of myself! I put them in twists and snipped 0.25-0.5" off. They're not perfect, but at least I have no regrets!

I'm going to be picking banana out of my hair for the rest of my life

Girl, they don't warn you when they tell you about bananas. It'll be awhile. I wish I had been warned too. Baby food bananas next time.

 

[NJoy]

It's me and the scissors tonight. But my Splitender is protesting the thought.

 

[SuchaLady]

I am feeling so down about my hair. It feels like so much has broken off but I have no idea when that happened. I havent seen any excessive breakage.
