Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[CherryCherryBoomBoom]

Shame I only got my quick weave just as the weather starts getting warmer. Still, I'll keep holding out for now till it gets too hot to bear. It's supposed to be a weave/wig that can last forever if I look after it well enough, so I can always go back to it in the winter

I am going crazy between my hair, workout schedule, insomnia, and work. I feel so much pressure right now none of them are getting done right. I need to figure a schedule that works soon.

Used my ecocustard today and diffused for the second time first time i done it pure frizz
this time was great didnt diffuse till 100% dry but its about 80% done

 

[Embyra]

Timed myself as well took me 25 mins to style my thick mid back length hair i personally think thats great considering my hair is only done once a week yay

Im trying not to give up on my hair but I need to find a good leavein conditioner. I also feel my hair no matter how much conditioning just never feels soft or moist. I don't know what to do. I use the porosity control stuff already as well. It just looks so blah. I'm holding on relaxing until summer but I want my hair to be as healthy as possible before. It may not have alot of length but it will healthy. Healthy hair will retain. So a leave-in conditioner,maybe I need to try new deep conditioners,and maybe even a poo..man I need a reggie intervention and then to get rid of all the extras I have. I also thought at one point doing away with all the non organic products would help not so.

This weekend is a trial run. I will be soaking off the coating on my spring twists and installing cornrows. If my scalp does not itch I will continue to test until end of April and install kinky twists for the summer but before I do all that work I have to make sure my scalp doesn't ignite.

Have you tried Chicoro's LOC method? For the most part I am a daily co-washer, but I have gone three days without re-moisturizing with this method and my hair was still so soft. After co-washing my hair, I squeeze a little water out but leave my hair essentially wet (L-liquid), use my oil mix of grapeseed, meadowfoam seed, and black cumin seed oils (O-oil) to seal, and then put on my creamy leave-in (C-creamy moisturizer). If it is a wash and go, I will use a styler at the end, if not, I will leave it as is.

I was made that my perm underprocessed my hair. But now, I'm beginning to like it. I still have lots of curl definition.....I'm enjoying being texlaxed.....yeah me.

Hmm should I do my 4th consectuive week of twists and twistouts or should I lightly flat-iron? :scratchch hmm decisions, decisions...

Embrya Lookin' good right? right??!!! DC swaggerific!

Today wasn't a good hair day -_-

Maybe it's the Midwest humidity, maybe my regimen. After clarifying with pantene pro v, DCing with Kenra overnight, and adding some Carol's Daughter Hair Smoothie (NOT my fave--will NOT use again), my hair came out kinda dry, almost like it was chealting...?

It was terrible, kinda matted feeling, and alltogether bad.

NOTES TO SELF:
-no more cheapie conditioners. I don't think they're the best for my hair...
-just be careful. relax. and go slowly with my hair, I suppose. It was just a bad feeling, having dry, straw-like hair. Anyone had this before? is it the result of too-much protien, or too-much product? I"m going to start using "just enough" product/ not over-doing it.

Werk.

I've been slacking on my deep conditioning. I actually can't remember when I did one last. I think it was last month (maybe). I guess I'll fit that in this weekend.

 

[naturalagain2]

UGHH!! I can't find my mini rake comb!!! I just had it!! Nowhere in the house can it be found!!! This pisses me off!!

...yyeeeaaah, my lazy behind ended up airdrying o/n and throwing it in a bun.



S/N: The more I use avj, the more I like it. It really detangles my hair and moisturizes it nicely. My shea butter mix is going well too

 

[NYAmicas]

Despite setbacks and many tangling issues and me not being as careful with my hair in the last couple of months, it still grew a bit and I believe I'll be fully BSL in another couple of months. Before I cut my hair I went from there and through damage to APL and one side was longer than the other. I'll be content with MBL which was just about my goal always.

*twisting fingers*

 

[Lissa0821]

I am putting my flat iron away until the fall. It is just not worth the trouble to flat iron my roots when it is humid outside, I sweat heavily in my scalp area. I may pull out my hooded dryer occasionally but for the most part I will continue to air dry my hair for the next 6 months.

Looking so forward to being 100% natural!

My mom is letting people make her feel badly about her natural hair. I've been buying her hair products from Qhemet and CURLS. Her thin hair became thicker and stronger. Now she wants to go get it styled. That's code for relaxer. We have ultra-sensitive scalps. Her hair is just going to break off again.

 

[LadyRaider]

I need to check out a new butter for sealing my ends. The one I've been using changed the formula and I REALLY dislike the smell. I mean it won't kill me, but meh!

I bought the Keracare Buttercream on Amazon. Anyone tried that?

I know I liked the Jane Carter stuff before...

Anyone else have something they like?

I would lie and say someone was doing the same thing to me so she can go into mommy mode, hear herself talk, and realize how ridiculous it is.

Thank you. That is a great idea. You just don't know how happy I was to her hair growing in so well. I mean, at one point you could only see whisper thin hair and you could see her scalp.

I kinda feel bad that I hoped hubby would spend Saturday hanging out with friends so I could have a spa day:/

 

[chelseatiara]

used gel today for the first time in foreeevvverr.....meh :/

 

[Melaninme]

I'm ready to do a press, but I'm on a challenge and can't until after the 31st. The 31st is a Saturday (Saturday's are my wash days), so I may have to cut my challenge short by a day. I want to wear my hair straight for 1st Sunday at Church.

 

[NikkiQ]

I think I'm gonna flat iron next weekend for my check in for the APL challenge. I haven't flat ironed really since before Christmas so it's time.
