Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[DaiseeDay]

I really need to find some Shea butter on the ground. And Henna.

 

[Arian]

I wish I lived near a Trader Joe's. Need shampoo...

 

[melissa-bee]

I'm gonna get a t-shirt to dry my hair from now on. My towels are starting to get a bit rough.

I was going to alternate my weekly cleansing with shampoo, mudwash, ayurvedic herbs, and conditioning cleanser. But after my hair analysis with Komaza and the discussion on how rotating too many things in a short while can alter the hair's pH, I am going to slow my roll before I confuse the heck out of my hair.

Ogoma can you elaborate....pretty please Lurking in that Komaza thread is stressing me out

 

[Ogoma]

Nix08:

It stressed me out while waiting, but it is good to know. I rotate leave-ins every day for variety. She said that could possibly change the pH of the hair if the pH of the products vary.

Maaaaan I can't find Ecostyler anywhere I may have to breakdown and buy online but the shipping costs more than the product itself

 

[melissa-bee]

Oh wow, I just posted something and I looked at my siggy and realised that it's been 3 years today since my last relaxer.
*Thinks back* Oh yes, that was the time I couldn't trust my mum to do my hair any more so I tried to relax it my self and only the front came out decently. And the back was pretty much still natural. My hair looked so awkward for the next few weeks.

So, along with my conditioner addiction I now have a co-cleansing addiction...because I'm sitting here counting the days till I can co-cleanse again, and that just Can't be standard... I just love a juuzzay WnG!!

 

[LifeafterLHCF]

Want to relax but can't since I use sulfur. I prefer not to burn this time so I can make sure it's bonelaxed. My hair looks a hot mess right now. All I can do is keep gelling it down and putting it in my phony pony. I can't wait til my pageant so it can get relaxed,braided up and put under a wig.

Yesterday I was able to get ALL OF MY NATURAL HAIR INTO A PONYTAIL for the first time EVER since my BC!!!!!!!! LOL! I was so happy ya'll!

 

[halee_J]

I'm bored with my hair.

 

[Nix08]

^^me too....

 

[PinkSunshine77]

Im glad the mentions function isn't working. I wonder if there's a way to permanently turn mine off. I like to answer what I want and not see who's mentioned me or not.

 

[Browniee]

its been 4+ years, something has got to give. UUgh big chop time? Hmm maybe

 

[leiah]

My hair is wayy too moisturized. I dont need to be heavy handed with heavy products in this weather. Thinking about using the whole line of aphogee products and nothing else for a while... I don't think my hair can have too much protein.

 

[Wildchild453]

The Havana Twists are calling my name. Why do they have to be so darn pretty?

 

[youwillrise]

put in some twists tonight. not sure how long i'll keep them in, but with work and school coming back full force starting tommorrow...it'll probably be a few weeks.

 

[Dee_33]

Loving this Kenra cond as a dc wayyyy more than I thought I would. Def have to pick up another liter when they go on sale again.

That's why I do a hard protein weekly...without it, I wouldn't be able to handle all the moisture in my reggie. Its Super easy for me to overmoisturize too.

I am looking forward to comparing henna purchased from local Indian grocer with an online purchase ... I need to find some arabic or greek markets that carry olive oil and fresh henna ...

I found my best henna at a muslim store. Some great scarves too.

 

[SEMO]

I'm not sure the curly girl method is for me. I can't seem to give up my staple sulfate shampoos. My hair loves Roux Porosity Control shampoo and has for about a decade.

 

[PinkSunshine77]

I did a Protein treatment today with my IC Olive Oil Reconstructor, washed it out. Added my sulfur oil and am about to wash that out and shampoo. I really felt lazy this morning and didn't think I would wash but it's about that time.

 

[PinkSunshine77]

My hair looks it's regular thick self after a blow dry versus a flat iron. I love it.

 

[tocktick]

Finally took out my braids, so now I can have my hair out for a week and then it's back in braids (going on vacation). I'm going to practice doing a Heidi/Dutch braid, with some hair left out at the front for a quick work style.

 

[NewlyNature12]

So so so nervous about taking out this weave and wearing my natural hair...I don't have a backup plan so I really hope I can style it well. I guess I could weave it up again? Ugh I dont want to. These women at work are vicious...

 

[TheMenAllPause]

I found another low manipulation style that works for me. My hair is flat ironed but the humidity has cut the fool in my head. I took my puffy hair and put it in one low braid last night, pinned the end up, took it out this morning and finger combed. Put a hair clip in the top to keep my hair off my face. I will wear this style all week. Oh and I did a length check.

 

[choctaw]

Coconut oil pre-poo before using TJ Citrus shampoo, rinse clean, acv rinse, condition, rinse clean and apply oil to soaking wet hair. Braid to dry. Hair is clean, soft and strong.

 

[NJoy]

I'm SO wanting to flat iron the back of my hair to see where I am and to feel it out. But I'm also SO lazy. That's hard work (which is why I'm only talking about the back). Anywho, I feel a length check coming on. It's been a minute and I want to see how cutting the knots out affected my hemline. erplexed

My Yasmine half wig got so nappy at the ends I had to cut the bottom off then it looked horrible, so I had to spray it with some remi leave in conditioner and it came back to life
