Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I am preparing to straighten my hair tomorrow morning and I am so excited! I woke up this morning and deep conditioned my hair with the very last bit of deep conditioner that I left myself (I am moving out Sunday and have already packed). After I rinsed everything out is when the fun began.

My hair has shocked me in several ways so far. First of all my hair is ridiculously soft. When I put my hair into my banded ponytails I realized that I didn't need to make 15 all over my head. I only needed 5 this time. Also, every single one of my banded ponytails are sitting comfortably at apl. This has never happened. Just based on these two things I know my hair has gotten longer. Yay!! Tomorrow morning cannot come fast enough.

Yesterday i discovered that i can detangle my hair in just 2 sections and finger detangle. I think i'll stick with this method on my co-wash days and then on my shampoo days, detangle thoroughly in 4 sections with my widetooth comb and my denman:yep: I need to reduce my time in the shower:blush:
 
I have officially decided to stay out of salons. I'm tired of shelling out money for botched hair jobs. With the exception of one girl, the last 5-8 people I've gone to were awful.
 
Soooo, maybe it't time to flat iron. I'm really not feeing my hair today. Ok, I LOVE my hair but, I'm bored to tears with my styling choices. I need some motivation to keep from going back to nice, easy, relaxed hair. I'm sitting around 57 wks post and thinking to myself, "I don't think my hair is gonna do the curly/wavy thing. Now what?"

Disclaimer: I have a screaming sinus headache today. I'm not happy with much of anything right now.

Rock a twist-out and I'm sure you will obtain that curly/wavy thing. :yep:

If you flat-iron, please post pics...would love to see!
 
I'm just thinking about all the stylists that I spent years with who really believed that they were "into healthy hair". What a joke!
 
Yay, my wigs are here. Time to give my hair a much needed break. For some reason my hair has been feeling much drier, I will try mid-week cow ashes to see if that helps.

+1. I cringe at the thought of what some stylist would do to my hair but at the time I didn't know any better.
 
So thirsty to use my Hothead for the first time!! I have the DC, and my Ayurvedic herbs all ready to go....c'mon Hothead!
 
I really hope my next flat iron job comes out sleek like the pros on here. I'm such a novice when it comes to straight styles!
 
Sigh...sometimes I cant wait till my layers grow out because it makes my ends look thin...other times I love my layers....I was twisting my ponytail and next thing I know.....SNIP...I clipped about half an inch off my ponytail...I couldnt fight it smh....I wonder if I will be able to see a difference the next time I flat iron o.O
 
Hubby was just all in my hair while we were canoodling. Usually he's focused on my other attributes, but tonight he was all about how thick my hair is, and was burying his face and hands in it. :2inlove:

Just wait till I get to TBL.. :grin:
 
Don't you love that moment when you hug someone and you are wearing a 1/2 wig and you can feel a slight tug on the back of your wig as a result of the hug. All you can think is "hope to God I remembered my bobby pins this morning!!!!" Then you break away from the hug to fake run your hands over the top of your hair but you are really checking to make sure its still on..... LOL
 
So happy I finally figured out a way to stretch my hair without any heat. I really hated blow drying but I did it because I didn't know how to handle my hair. Now I'm learning day by day, week by week. :yep:

Oh, the possibilities. :lol:

My edges won't lie down no matter what I try(scarf, Ecostyler, Shea-butter, water). So..I'm just letting them be.
It comes with the territory of being 6+ months post.
 
So the leave-in + setting lotion still came out soft. An alternative I'll use instead of NTM if I plan to use heat over the hair for an event or going out or something. I still like the ease of using NTM daily and knowing that it won't break my hair. I may use end papers on the back of my hair.
 
Finally done with relaxers. Too strong, caused a of damage to my hair. All I wanted was texturizing in the first place. So, back to Keratin, but the newer ones. NuNaat is good and KeraCare looks good, too, but ION has a 12 oz. bottle of the smoothing treatment...that's cost savings with multiple applications. I've got all the shampoo I need from a previous product, plus NuNaat keratin conditioners and leave-ins are cheap and at Walgreens. Even Suave has a Keratin line now. Going to get the Ion today.
