Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I saw a really bad weave on a really nice woman today. She didn't deserve what she got.

Anakinsmomma How does the coffee rinse make you hair feel?

@Anakinsmomma How does the coffee rinse make you hair feel?

hmmm... Since I mix it with tea and oils, usually very soft. But I use it more for scalp effects... my shedding has decreased substantially since I started doing it. And it makes the tingle from Trader Joes Tea Tree Tingles feel soooooo good.

When bad weaves happen to good people...

I am so grateful I learned to braid I can't believe how much money I am saving.

How did you do that? I'm trying to learn how to cornrow my hair and they are never very tight... I don't get what I'm doing wrong.

Sounds good! I'm interested in the scalp benefits; namely help with shedding and stimulation Tingle sounds good, maybe I'll add some tea tree oil to some brewed coffee and make a pre-poo :scratchch thanks lady

I couldn't figure it out for the longest so I found a braider in town and offered her a proposition. She teach me how to braid in lieu of braiding my hair. So basically I paid her the $60 she would have gotten to teach me how to cornrow. I already had an idea but I just couldn't figure out how to place my fingers for a close catch. Anyway she taught me how to braid 3 sessions(1st 1hour, 2nd 30min, 3rd 30min) and sent me on my way. In between sessions I practiced on my mannequin head and showed her my homework during the next session. She critiqued my technique and everything. It was so great that I contacted her again to teach me how to kinky twist with fake hair. Ahhh yea I guess she figured she would loose to much business if she only did it for $60 so she changed the price to $180 at the last minute. I wished her farewell and found a sweet lady for Ghana who taught me for free 99

Just washed my hair, but for the first time I feel there may be residue on it/ a bit of coating....next wash day, I'll clarify shampoo, too. It didnt help that I *accidentally* slept in my DC last night, after DCing all day yesterday. Not slept in it as in "put a baggy/ scarf on and let my head heat DC itself", but instead I took the scarf off and slept on the SHEETS, GIRL, in my DC-d and dried hair. So sad.

Anyway, it's clean(er) now, and I put some AG Fast Food leave-in and sealed with mimosa hair balm from Carol's Daughter, did 8-10 twists, and twisted them vvertically on flexi-rods. hopefully tomorrow I'll have a fresh, tangle-free style!

Good stuff.

I love coconut oil.

My flaxseeds are soaking

 

[halee_J]

Dear Shea butter,

I am so sorry for all the nasty things I said about you . I was speaking out of ignorance, I didn't know how to use you at the time. Who knew whipping you up with oils would make my hair so soft and shiny! Please forgive me. You work so nicely with the flaxseed gel, you have my twists looking plump and juicy. I can now do low mani without looking crazy, thank you

Love,

Halee

Yes, it's that serious ...... ​

I am Queen of the nerd herd today. I stole my hair style from Eowyn, one of the characters in Lord of the Rings.

 

[Lurkee]

It makes me emotional to have so many ladies cheering me on this journey and willing to help me to get to a better place with my hair for free after years of abuse by myself and paid ignorant stylists. Thank you all.

As part of my 2 week holiday with my hair today is the day im trying leaving in conditioner no gel as per cg .....my hair already gave me the side eye


What my hair needs to remember is I RUN THIS!!...............for now

 

[nerdography]

As much I miss the volume of my natural hair, I decided not to go back. Even though originally I decided to transition.

I was detanling my new growth and it took forever. With relaxed hair it takes me 10 to wash my hair (detangling, wash, condition.) When my hair was natural it would take me an hour just to detangle. When my hair was natural I had to moisturize twice a day everyday. With my hair relaxed it moisturize at the time I wash it and I don't have to moisturize until the next time I wash my hair, two weeks later.

Right now I'm deciding if I'm going to relax at the six month mark (April 1) like planned or if I'm going to wait a year (October 1.)

I love my braids, I love my braids, I love my braids (trying to convince myself not to remove them and start over). I love my braids, I love my braids.

i miss Ellepixie's post. How come she don't post anymore? Still watch her vids all the time.

It is a dog on shame that it is easier to log into a website to check a past order than to dig through you stash to see how many you ordered:/

i understand exactly what she means. She is missed though. Her and DLewis

I have been consistent with my scalp massages since my last touch up and can see the difference. Now I just need to figure out a way to soften it during the week without weighing down my hair.

Mama got some rosemary pomade in the mail I will always love my mama I can't wait for her next appointment with Hiwot later this month.

 

[Embyra]

halee_J how did your flaxseed gel go was it thick? did you use the gold or brown ones?

 

[Ogoma]

Back to a nice hair day. I am done with trying any new stylers/gels - UFD CM and KMF UMG give me nice, predictable results. I am sticking with just those two.
