Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[ms.blue]

I usually try to stay cone majority of the time b/c I think of cones suffocating my strands....well that feeling went out the window b/c using products w/ cones (low cones) has my hair soft even when airdried. The added bonus is that I don't need to use separate conditioners when washing my real hair and my weave hair (that was taking too much time).

These threads that imply that type 3 hair is "good hair" always puzzle the **** outta me, for real. My hair is a PIA on Most days...I don't just wake up in the morning, shake my hair 3 times, and I'm out the door. Noooo...takes at least 2000 types of product, and much flipping, and flinging...and just 1 wrong product yields a hot frizztastic, ashy crunchy, MESS! This idea of "Good hair" needs to have a f'ing SEAT.

Rant over.

S/N: That DC was just what my hair needed to make up for that stupid Garnier Curl Calm Down, which really only succeeded in p!ssing my hair off. It's now calmly sitting in the garbage.

Well well ..i washed with Con blue label and conditioned for 2 minutes with EQ DPR ,my hair is drying very curly and defined ,i love it .i had to add Bee mine moisturizer to the lenght as the ends were a bit dry ,that's my rescuer right there.

So I dyed a patch of my hair red.
The first two inches of my hair are bright red but then it darkens creating an ombre effect.
I think it's because you can't dye over henna.
I tried to take pic but the brightness does not come out that well on camera.
I would be crying if my whole head was this colour, lol.
I like it.

So I liked the Hair One (for dry hair) experience and I will continue to use it until its gone. Then ill pop that Wen bottle

I think I want to put a weave in, but then I don't. I just want it to achieve certain hair styles, and to have a different look.

I did the same thing except purple. If you bleached, it always takes faster at the roots than the ends. My roots came out bright purple and it fades to a dark purple.

Operation Co-Cleanser was a flop...back to the drawing board. This is a fun but tricky project...making Wen ain't easy...

Gonna DC, and trim today. It's needed...especially since I can't stay away from the WnG's this summer.

You were making wen??? Wow! Go on then.

 

[HanaKuroi]

I really want to henna my hair! I have none made up. I also don't have my oyin yet. I need my stuff first.

 

[choctaw]

Indigo is messy but I love the way it makes my hair feel.

 

[Angelinhell]

When I get to bsl, I want some dark blue highlights.

Finally finished installing my box braids. My arms are KILLING me.

Liking the con argaon oil edge control. I have been using ors edge control and I sorta hate the smell--smells like a relaxer--. I like that it gives me good hold but it smells nice and not to hard. My friend may be getting a brand new jar of the ors in her care package.

 

[ScorpioBeauty09]

My hair still smells like conditioner! That hasn't happened in a while. Taking it as a good sign.

Looking forward to my BASK order shipping. I'm itching to try the Java Bean & Honey Hair Balm.

 

[MrsJaiDiva]

Yup! Decided to make that my summer project. I'm close, but I need to figure out some things...this batch came out like water. Not a good look.

My bun is getting old, I gotta try something new but I can't with no edges

Yeah, I didn't bleach though.
I did be bad and leave it in for 45 mins instead of the suggested 30 mins.

I said I wasn't going to straighten again until mid-august. I'm not even half way through this month and I want to straighten already. I had to leave my flat iron at my mom's house so I won't be tempted to use it.

I need four inches of hair by the end of the year. That's all. It's 6 months left, I'm feeling optimistic.

I was really hoping that Wen 613 would be worthy the hype. I've used it twice so far and it's a big fail. It doesn't provide slip at all and it leaves my hair dry and tangled. I should have known better and stick with the products that already work for me. erplexed

I am having a confusing hair product day:

1) Either the sun hates UFD or UFD hates the sun because it is drying hard and crunchy for me. Oh well, just a few more uses to go until this bottle is done and then it is buy-buy until BF.

2) The Oyin Honey Hemp I bought last BF has been in the freezer since then. I brought it out last night to use this morning. It seems to have lost its ooey-gooey goodness. It is watery and I had to use quite a bit to feel like it was on my hair. I couldn't detangle with it and it has been one of my holy grail detanglers. I think I have ruined this 32oz bottle . I am hoping it will solidify over time because I'll run through it too quickly if it remains this consistently. It also smells like rotten fruit.

I'm thinking about starting a challenge towards the end of this year. Just not sure how this particular challenge may go over here. I'll think about it.

 

[NJoy]

Yes!!! I've been searching high and low and finally, FINALLY run across a lone bottle of pure Aloe Vera Gel!!

Yes! Victory is mine! :woohoo:

 

[Ms. Tiki]

NJoy Was it in your stash or did you have to find it in a local store?

 

[NJoy]

Ms. Tiki

Girl, I found one lonely bottle at Walmart! I got my last bottle from CVS but haven't been able to find it anywhere since. I'm doing a happy dance over here. Don't know why I'm moonwalking but, I'm happy.

 

[Ms. Tiki]

LOL! You moonwalking.^^^^

Sometimes I wish I could style my hair better....I hate being style-challenged.....

Experiencing a setback...and a haircut will be required sooner rather than later.

Have no pics for the other thread...so I just am letting you know...I JUST WHACKED OFF ALL MY HAIR!

MBL, grazing waist, back to bsl...grazing mbl and WHACK to neck-length/shoulder bob. Feels good. I'm going to transition back to curly with BKT. No more burn-laxers for me. I should have listened to my stylist. And no more color! That's what you get for looking at all these folks with diff. hair than yours. Stick to what YOU got.
