Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[shasha8685]

I can't believe that my hair was acting all jank simply because I needed a protein dc.

Lesson learned.

I had no idea how much I missed my puffs until I inadvertenly had one; I can't keep the style however because of the damage & retention issues caused by prolonged wear.

Health/length/retention vs. Hair aesthetics is an annoying battle I wish I didn't have to fight.

Booooooooooooooo !

Put my hair in 6 bantu knots for a knot out tmr. Will see how this turns out. Maybe a few soft waves.

Sooooooo it's been 2 weeks since I've washed my hair. And I'm kind of too lazy to get it washed this week haha! I may wash it in 3 weeks or even 4.

I'm kind of on this weird kick where I don't want to wash my hair unless I get half an inch of growth. That way, I don't obsess about my hair length as much.

Is this a bad idea? :O

4 months without lhcf made me forget how to prepare my hair for a relaxer. I relax next week hope I find that thread, or post soon.

Swype thinks weird and wierd are both correct

Whoops! Tried to snap a quick pic of my hair and forgot to turn off the sound on my phone!

Luckily, nobody is here yet. That's what I get for trying to be slick and take hair pics at my desk!

I find myself getting the most love, admiration and questions about my hair from women older than me while those my age i feel animosity from. It's kinda depressing sometimes, i wish there wasn't this unspoken competition mentality.

If I don't have any special plans this weekend, these braids are staying in until the 12th.

You feel that too? I thought it was my paranoia.

Seriously, stylists are obsessed with heat. I put in a weave 2 days ago. Prior to that, I washed and conditioned my hair then roller set and brushed out a bit. My hair was straight and completely detangled yet when I went in the stylist still wanted to blow dry before installing the weave. I told her it wasn't necessary because my hair was already straight. It took 5 mins before she agreed to forgo the blowdryer. What the heck!

msbettyboop, I was reading this while sitting in the salon waiting for my brow wax. I realized I flinched every time the stylist turned on the blow dryer for the client ahead of me.

Things im going to work on for my hair
> i have these little short bits that are a silkier finer texture than the majority of my hair. I want to find out why their breaking and how to stop it. I kind of feel it's because they're silky and short i like to play with them.
>finding out why i seem to attract to much lint and bed fluff in my hair and how to prevent that
>Scalp massages ( nuff said)

Because younger women are starting the competitions. I wish there wasn't one either, so I remain naive and forget it exist.

All of these split ends suddenly appeared in my fringe but luckily no where else. It just shows how important protective styling is for my hair. Need to keep those ends tucked away

My bantu knot out was so freaking cute!!!! I'm gonna do it again all week.

Lollllllllllll

I just came across a salon on Facebook using a picture of Reniece's straightened hair as reference for how great keratin treatments are. It's that picture of her in a red shirt with half her hair straight and the other half in the shrunken state. I told the people falling over themselves about it that it's not keratin but straight natural hair and they wouldn't believe it. SMH!

No I def thought I was paranoid as well but it is really present. It's hard sometimes to tell because most of the time it's non-verbal but you just KNOW

That's just terrible!! It's bad enough that they basically stole her picture, then on top of that they are using false advertising.

The more I realize that curly girl (and my HHJ) is not just a series of methods/ experiments/and set backs but a way of life.......the more I am inspired to be patient and to most of all not relax hahaha.

My two French braids have hang time!

 

[DivineNapps1728]

Did a ponytail roller set for stretching purposes & it was more of a hassle than it was worth IMO. I guess I should try a few more times to see if any difference is made or if it really is a waste of time.

 

[hairqueen7]

Yayyy my hair is growing

 

[hnntrr]

putting in twists, which atm are about waist length cause cutting kanekolan is a PITA. SO wanted to see and was in utter shock and awe at how fast my hair had grown to do the twists.
Turns out he didnt know i was adding in hair in, this time or the last time. hhaha

 

[heirloom]

Tried the GHE last night and I love it so I'm doing it again tonight

DivineNapps1728 It is quicker at to roll a pony set but it takes longer to dry than a regular set and you need to add more heat and manipulation to get them looking right after. Id rather traditionally set my hair.

I didn't know any of that, thank you Napp !!! I assumed a ponytail roller set was for folks were bad at roller placement, but results were equivalent to a traditional set.

Personally blow drying takes less time, leaves my hair fully stretched & detangled; roller setting gave a great stretch, but my hair still had tangles & I felt like I was under the dryer forever. My rationale for roller setting was to reduce heat usage & manipulation so it was a fail overall lol

I'm an inch away from bra strap length and am about to cut off at least 3-4 inches of see through ends. I'm having a case of the sads right now. I took pics to post for advice but after looking at them I realize they need to go. At least I know how they happened (they seriously outgrew my nape, which was trimmed shorter months ago due to ponytail damage)/breakage, so I guess that's better than not knowing and having to go through the "What the hell happened?!" trauma.

 

[MyAngelEyez~C~U]

NIN4eva, post the pics before you cut, please. Get a second opinion.
