Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I am loving my first henna treatment. I can't stand how hard it is to get out and all of the clean up. I guess a small price to pay for healthy stronger hair.
 
I have straightened my hair twice since I got my bkt. I am loving the looser curl pattern so I will probably wear it curly for a while and then straighten it again for my work holiday party (gotta be fly :giggle:).

I bought a new blow dryer and a new round brush :yay:. I need to stock up on some more of my holy grail leave-ins and some more serum and deep conditioner for when I do use heat on my hair.

being natural is far more expensive that when I was relaxed :wallbash:. My poor pockets :lol:
 
I hope I really have my hair figured out this year! I started my journey in May '11. I started buying my products from online vendors this Spring and there is a difference in quality and my hair. I hope 2013 is my year.
 
I'm bored with my hair and feel like relaxing.

I probably won't do it because I will miss my wash and go, but I'm >this< close to doing it. I just really like my hair when it's straight. I have supa thick hair and it looks great relaxed or natural straightened, but as a natural it takes too long to get it straight and I can't roller set like I would like to.

BLAH!
 
Aiming to take green smoothies at least once a day. There's something so refreshing about trying to be healthy for your body - and hair. :look: :lol:
 
APL has me scared :lol:. Before I had nothing to lose, but now I am experiencing the convenience of medium length hair and I don't want to go back to the awkward stage.

Ugh, nooo...the awkward stage was so Annoying!! Although my hair still feels a bit awkward some days, at least it's good for the most part....so good, that I stupidly thought I could stray from my regimen.:spank: Lesson Learned! :lol:
 
Contemplating another BC :) My life has become very physically active and i'm anticipating it to be even more so come 2013! I don't wanna think about hair for a while & my hair is growing in so nicely again finally. I'm day dreaming of wash and go hair which I can only rock when I have a TWA...stay tuned y'all!
 
bajandoc86, what kind of hair did you use for those twists? I've been wanting twists for the longest,but the kinky hair marketed for it looks damaging. The material isn't right...
 
I wanna rollerset my hair tonight, but I don't wanna sit under the dryer. Airdrying won't work since I have to be at work at 6:30am. #firstworldproblems
 
I was so close to getting a relaxer touch up. That is until I figured out a better way to stretch and manage my new growth. Now, instead of pulling it back in a bun, I put it in 3 flat switches. Amazing. I might have to stretch longer than my goal of 20 weeks.

I was tired of my highlights looking dull and dry. Tried John Frieda Clear Shine Luminous Hair Glaze. So far I like it. My color 'pops'. It's been added as my staple item for now.
 
Every time I go to Sally's Beauty Supply, I leave there angrier than when I went in. WTF don't the ladies that work there familiarize themselves with stuff they stock???? :wallbash:

One time I went in looking for Curlformers. The chick at the cashier told me with a straight face that that wasn't something they stock. I asked her if I could see what sort of curlers they had. She pointed me to the aisle where I'd find curlers and what else did I find? Curlformers of different sizes, and even the combo pack. :hardslap:

Today I go in and ask what is longest human hair for braiding they have. She says, "I don't know nuffin 'bout hair." :huh: And that's OK with you? To be working in a store that sells a lot of stuff related to hair and not know anything about it? :pullhair:

I seemed to only see weaving hair not braiding human hair. I ask her where can I find human hair for braiding. She sends me to the area with synthetic hair. Well at least she knew the difference between weaving and braiding hair. Just didn't know that none of what they had in stock was human hair. I had to tell her. Then she said they never sell human hair for braiding. Since when? :hardslap:

I am reminded why for the last few years when I've bought human hair for braiding or weaving (for my sis) I have gone to the Asian store where the Korean dude knows e'rythang about our hair. He even helped me choose my Babyliss Pro Ceramic iron when I was torn on what to get. Seriously Sally's would be untouchable if their staff gave a damn about their jobs. I saw coupons for the store, but I'll even pass on those. Not to mention the hair was more expensive than I'd get from Hisandher.com whose hair has always been up to par. Wasted my damn gas for nuffin. :mad:
 
Trying to talk myself into twisting my hair tonight. Hubby's out of town so I'll definitely have the time. But, I seem to be doing fine with my two Celie braids. My hair is still well moisturized from saturday's DC. Ehn. We'll see.

Just thinking outloud.
 
Ut oh. My hair smells. You would think I wasn't on a hair forum. Gym is putting funk in my hair LOL!! There's no way to wash all this in the middle of a work week. smh

pre_medicalrulz....i have that same issue after having worked out a few days during the week and no indeed i will not be washing my hair midweek unless it is critical......so just wanted to suggest a combo that i have found works wonders to knock out the funk completely....it's burnt sugar pomade from Oyin and Claudie's tea spritz! Hair smells wonderful for a good couple of days and you don't get any funky mid-day whiffs from your roots which i find happens when I've tried other products to eliminate hair funk. The Claudie's is optional really but the sugar pomade is essential...combined is a very nice mix ...smells great, looks great and feels great..
Hth!!
 
Day 6 with miss jessie curly meringue still loving it
wish I bought the bigger size in the bogo sale :look:

I wish I could figure out a NICE non heat updo for this formal, but I haven't been successful yet. A bun on my textured hair don't look good with this formal dress. I would hate to straighten it just to put it in a southern tease bun but it would look so much better with with straighten hair....I don't know what to do.
