Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[allmundjoi]

I don't think I'm gonna bother with flaxseed gel anymore, it's only ok to me. What am I gonna do with all these dern flaxseeds? I might mix them in with my yogurts.

melissa-bee. What makes it only ok? Have you tried mixing the gel with something else to make like a custard? Just curious because I have tried fsg and found it ok too. Residue, stiff hair. Not superior to store gel. I haven't tried mixing either.

Planning another trim today. Trying to stay with my plan to get rid of these relaxed ends inch by inch. 3 down. Going for number 4. Expecting my growth to keep up with my trimming.

The only batch I ever tried I mixed with shea butter. I melted shea butter in when it was boiling but once I stored in the fridge the shea butter clumped together so its still like using the gel alone.
I was gonna mix hempseed oil with my next batch but i figured the same thing would happen.
Prior to this I didn't use gel at all and only tried it because I wanted to experiment with braidouts that I can actually wear outside the house.
Although I didn't wear the braidout "out" I liked the way my hair felt on day one. Because my hair was dry but moisturised and didnt have a oily or shiny residue which comes of with my normal leave in. I applied it again on dry hair to prepare for day two and my hair just felt dry. I suppose I should have made my hair damp again and then applied it.
Do you wet your hair everytime you apply gel?

Yeah I'm back to my babydaddy ecostyler gel. Flaxseed is nice, but a bit too much work. I can't make huge batches of it either, because it only lasts 2 weeks before it starts to go off.

You know what, now that I think about it Ive only put it on wet hair. Never dry.

I just ordered some Kiss My Face Upper Management Gel from Amazon. I can't find it anywhere on the ground.What do you guys think about it? I was trying to find something more natural than Ecostyler(which I love) with more hold than aloe vera gel(which I currently use). I was tempted to buy some Curl Junkie Coco Curl Cream(?) but I'm trying not to be a product junkie

I'd like to post a length check picture so that I can claim shoulder length(in the back), but that would require the help of my husband, who has questioned whether or not I'm obsessed with my hair. It would also require the reveal of fat rolls. I'm just not prepared for that.

Welcome to my world. I hope you do post tho. Length check pics really do help you see and will remind you later that your hair is growing. Hubby will get over it.

Had a hater attack me on BHM. She got a new account just to do so too. I just don't understand why people have to be so foul. I go out of my way to be supportive and still the crazies find me. *smh* Suddenly I see the wisdom in people who simply lurk. People get awefully courageous in anonymity. And still I rise.

AB200 you can crop the areas you don't want to show. SL length would only require you to reveal up to the level of your collarbone. That means you could even crop it more than this:

That is just pure ignorant. I say look at it as you are doing something right and you have something (long luxurious hair) she wishes she had. Smh

Yeah, I haven't been there in a while either. I just happend to drop by yesterday. Just in time for the festivities. My ears must've been burning. Ah well.

 

[NappyNelle]

NJoy But why though? Some people really make me sick with their negativity.

Miss AJ Have you tried those cellophanes? I can't choose a shade. lol

 

[NikkiQ]

[missjones]

Attended the NJ Natural Hair Care Expo in Newark yesterday. I brought home so many goodies. All of those beautiful heads of natural hair all around me. It was so much fun!

 

[winona]

I think I will do box braids with extensions in about a month

 

[Embyra]

Enjoyed my first day of wearing my wetbun im going to do it all week

The interest in my hair at work is getting stalkerish but im trying to stay strong and wave the flag for the naturals

NappyNelle, I've been wanting to try them for quite a while now but I wanted to test out Clairol Beautiful Collection first since I can get it locally. If that experiment fails then I'm gonna try the cellpohane brand sold on round brush hair in black.
