Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Ms. Tiki]

I'm going to texturize. There, I said it. Ugh..I'm going to catch so much flack for this...

MrsJaiDiva I support you. You have to do what's best for you and your hair. I don't regret texlaxing. Being natural was fine when I was APL and short but I can't see being WL and natural. I think I would kill myself. Our hair textures are close. I realize late in the process I was really 3b in the front and 3c in the back. Smh

Thank you...it means a lot! I couldn't stand my frizzy hair in HS, and had forgotten all about it till dealing with this frizz now. This hair is not going to stop being a big hair monster, no matter how long it grows, because my hair isn't heavy enough. Even with product, it just wants to be a bush...and I just can't with that anymore.

Yeah, the frizz was a bear. It drove me crazy b/c of my curl pattern. I think it would've been easier to deal with if it was 4a and that tight curl. But the front is more of a wave and curl...frizzy mess waiting to happen.

I guess my hair growing 1 inch a month after all. BSL-MBL by September!!

That's fantastic! Keep up the great work.

Yes! We do have the same kinda hair! And I agree...I'd be pleased as hell to have some 3c/4a hair like my sons do. They have the most Perfect curl patterns! I, on the other hand, have wild woman hair...and the longer it gets, the less cute it looks...

I think I only want to texturize the front half...the back 3c hair is perfect just the way it is. Hopefully that doesn't turn out weird.

Now you are getting creative. I would be afraid to just do the front. What if the front turns out too straight? I'm scurred for you

I'm gonna cut the Texturizer with Shea, or it really will go bone straight. It Barely has curl in the front and crown as it is. I just need it to lay down...the back lays down with no problem, and the crown really isn't an issue either, but I have a crazy coarse 3b patch by the temples that just bushes out, and crowds my face. If I can silk up the front, it should blend nicely with the back hair.....I hope... erplexed

I hope I reach my goal length this year so I can go into maintenance mode. I'm tired of length checks

Now that I have my flat iron technique down, I think I'll start doing my mom's hair. Her stylist does too many passes with too much heat. I want to get us a steamer too.

 

[ScorpioBeauty09]

Just went through my product stash to help my 13 year old sister wash her hair. Now she's DC-ing. I had no idea I had as many products as I had!! Imma have to do some cleaning and get rid of stuff I know I'm not going to use.

 

[NJoy]

low manipulation does nothing for increasing styling skills. So, do I low manip until I reach my goal and then not know how to style my hair? Twists are cool and all but ultimately, I'm not gonna want to wear my hair like this. And, I have no idea where I really am, goalwise. I plan to find out next week tho.

 

[SoopremeBeing]

I don't know why my twistouts always turn out wrong...

 

[LifeafterLHCF]

Happy when I use something I already have and it's good. Did a dry condition treatment last night and washed out a while ago and my hair is so soft and detangled. I hope they still make this particular HE conditioner and glad I had some of the other stashed away.

My wash day for tomorrow is planned and set out down to mixing the conditioner for my dc. One day all will show it was worth the sacrifice.

i am more confident i will make BSB this year. i was a hot mess yesterday. i wore my hair down and kept flipping it and moving it from my face! wait til i hit BSB! people are going to be so sick of me!

 

[Philippians413]

I'm deciding what to get when Aveyou has their flash sale. I hope they have it soon and announce it early because I'll probably be in class. I need to know when to... uh "go to the bathroom."

I just went through security at the airport. My hair is in a low bun.

After I got x-rayed, one security officer (a Black woman) came up behind me and said, "Now I'm just gonna check your hair," and proceeded to knead my scalp (above the bun). Then she said to one of her colleagues (an API-looking man), "She's got a whole lotta hair!" And he responded, "I know, right?!"

As rude as it was, I really want that to happen to me. Lol.

@NappyNelle, I've tried it before and after food and it still made me dizzy so i'm going to try it during food tomorrow and see how that works out. Are you still using it?

msbettyboop No, I don't use Biotin alone anymore. I had the same side effects you did, along with breakouts. I didn't use it long enough to see any results. Since then, I've only taken a blended pill; I now take Futurebiotics Hair, Skin and Nails formula.

 

[Aireen]

Finally did my long awaited scalp treatment, it was rushed but felt so invigorating.

 

[Evolving78]

i wish i could just air dry, bun and go. my ends don't take to kindly to that. just need to stick with the roller sets. i have used enough heat this month. since i got a fresh relaxer, i will leave the heat alone for awhile. just roller sets, updos for a cute style, and bunning.

 

[LifeafterLHCF]

My hair seems like it never had a relaxer. It's a bit smoother but nothing major. I also notice I will have to wash my hair 3 times or lather 3 times because my scalp will itch on the same day after washing. I think I will lightly blow my hair out and flat iron today to see if my head looks any better. I am becoming a bit obsessed looking at hairs that come out to see if it's breakage or shed. I'm going to get my hair a decent length before grad school.

I envisioned karate chopping my brother in the neck as he went in the bathroom and locked the door seconds after I had finished mixing my DC and was seconds away from shampooing my hair. He can take hours in there just chilling in the bath. Luckily he just had a quick wash and went out. Lucky for him

Now....unless you're planning a coup d'etat of the forum....it's REGIMEN!!

Thank you.

I'm not too fond of the scent of Devacare OneCondition...but it's a great product to use when you're in a hurry. I used it alone yesterday as a leave-in/styler...i only put a little gel on my front curls...they require more hold.

I got SO many compliments at work yesterday! This little girl came in the store and just kept following me and told me she thought i was adorable and that she just LOVES my hair!.....too cute! My fro was just big and curly and fluffy and bouncy! So hey...Devacurl gets a few cool points from me for that

I know! Once I got over the weirdness of it, I was happy to represent all of the LHCFers and to become a member of this august group of people who've had their hair checked !

 

[Austro-Afrikana]

I've finally realised that not trimming isn't such a good idea. I need to start trimming regularly, maybe then will I see more 'growth'.

 

[Lissa0821]

I just did a relaxer touch up with Mizani Butter Blends lye relaxer, not sure if I like it. It left my hair with a lot of texture, actually more than I expected. I feel like I have gone from 12 weeks post to 6 weeks post. This next 12 week stretch should be interesting.

Come on back to the dark side

Love/hate relationship with Roux. It made my hair oh so soft yesterday after my scalp treatment but I KNOW that ish is gonna be expensive to repurchase. The three that I like leave my hair feeling similar in result but I use each for a different purpose. Then we have the fact that all relaxed heads love Porosity Control... I don't know if I should try that or just repurchase 1, 2, or all 3 products. Canada, why are you more expensive than the U.S.?

Come on back to the dark side

Me and natural 100 percent aren't friends no more..I don't even want to think of how my hair would look with no relaxing now..

 

[gabulldawg]

I'm really not feeling my hair right now. I was way too impatient tonight during my hair hour. I washed, applied aphogee treatment, and applied a rinse to part of my hair. Also trimmed a little off to improve overall health. I plan to start back wigging it for a while before I do something drastic. I'm just over my hair.
