Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I'm going back to being a straightened natural so I can keep retaining length. Instead of twice a month I'll do high heat once a month and try to fight the urge to wash for at least two weeks. I'm tired of braiding for hours after washing and then having a crap braidout. I'll go back to curly in the summer and hopefully have a longer wash and go
 
trying to decide what to do with my hair this year. i really need to just focus on my internal health, so i kinda wanna just put my hair on a back burner.

I am thinking about this as well. I am not sure about how often I will straighten a month. My hair and hats and coats are nit getting along. My hair is too big for most hats and -10 is too cold to not wear one.

I keep thinking about straightening my hair but im too afraid to use heat so im going to get it rollerset at the hair dressers and then when im home use low heat with the flat iron to go over it :yep:
 
took down my protective style (10 weeks) washed, proteined and then a moisturizing dc. grrrrr took 4.5 hours. lawd hammercy.
 
I want to have WL hair by May 2013 when I graduate from Nursing School. I want to wear it straight and fling it about for my haters:)
 
Will be two years natural tomorrow. Thinking about straightening. Will make thread. Time to get back on the wagon after neglecting these mini twists.
 
just wondering what would happen if real weaves / extensions hair ran out - as in you can never buy Brazilian remi indian ever again lol need to stop watch random youtube videos
 
I feel like a good trim is overdue for me. I have switched from lye to no lye relaxer and that is working well. However, due to an old layered cut and a really small bald patch that is in recovery, my hair has fullness up to about shoulder length then it thins out badly. It is much more pronunced once my new growth is in full effect. It is about 3 to 4 inches of hair, so I am thinking about doing a clean blunt cut, as option A. Option B would be to protective style for the next few months and cut an inch with each touch up until the thinness is all gone.
 
Going to try the chopped onion in shampoo/curing for 15 days challenge. Peeee-ewwwwww!!! Hope it pushes out faster. Will combine with the castor oil.
 
I am trying to stay sober. I have issues and need help. The products are calling me and I can't resist. :/

HUH, I need to shop my closet for supplies:perplexed
 
so basically I fogot how to moisturize my hair...so I'm going to follow the reggie I saw in the kids forum and follow that for a while until my moisture gets back to where it should be. :look:
 
I read onions is good for the hair. It's a natural sulfur. I did rinses with garlic & cayenne pepper few times, but it stinks. I.believe it works if your consistent.

I liked the conditioning properties of the henna but I probably won't do it again for a long time. It's too long and messy of a process for me.
 
I think I will be doing the black chick carnal sin:changing wigs mid week.The wig I have been rocking isn't giving me life so it will go back in the stash..my beloved Model Model Carmen in 2 will be coming out.

What the heck is that about???

LOL. It's a Dominican/L. American growth technique. I'm tired of my hair. It grows fast, but I just went through the slowest stage of it and almost cut to shoulder length. I need it super-duper long or it's gone! Snip snip! Hopefully, this shampoo will push it out faster. It's gotta be a good thing with all the sulphur and vitamin c in the onion.
 
so.....I'm sitting staring at my laptop screen, and i feel this 'thing' like it crawled on my neck and right ear.....i totally freak out and slap at this 'thing' only to realise it was my twists....hanging!!!!!! :grin: I have craazzzyyy shrinkage, so this makes me very very happy.
Also while looking at myself in the bathroom mirror at work, i realise my twists at my nape touch my collar!!!!! :grin:

I plan to put my hair in braids by the end of this month, and hopefully keep them in for at least 6 weeks. Gotta keep on retaining, now is NOT the time for a setback.
 
Im kinda over ppl naming their YT videos, 'YASSSSS BLACK WIMMEN CAN GROW SUM LONG HURR!!!! PROOF IZ INSIDE!!! MY HURR IS LONG!!!!!'

Its like, we get it. It's been done. I think people get the point by now - black hair grows.

My hair is long enough to wear in a twist out updo. I'll be 10 months post tomorrow. :yay:
 
This winter is turning my hair into a battle ground. It's super annoying. I need to do something different but I just don't know what. Hair feeling like precooked Ramen noodles is not what's up. :(
 
just put my first plastic baggy-under-bun style in effect! For the rest of the winter, I'll be bunning daily/ every 2 days, and re-moisturizing and sealing daily.

bring it, winter.
i see you.
 
I feel you Justice! I am wigging too! I am 7months into a 12month stretch and the only way I can do it is to cover this junk up! As we speak I have it in 4 cornrolls to the back which I just washed n and am now DCing under my bonnet dryer and once I rinse this DC out and M&S it's back under my wig! I can't do this without wigging it!!!I think I have 4d/4e hair! It's just nappy!!! (Stop laughing Yall!!!)
