Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[JosieLynn]

Stayed up to do a very light flat iron on my hair for the first time in probably a year. It's crazy I can't remember the last time I flat ironed my hair but I'm amazed to just be at APL. This is literally the longest I have know my hair to be. So excited to be on my way to BSL and eventually WL.

Bad hair day in the DMV.

Detangling in the shower makes a heck of a difference in how my hair looks and behaves. I might just be full shoulder length by summer. *whips hair back and forth

I think I found a new product line in CON Argan Oil. I am impressed with the moisturizer We shall see.

My ends are always my issue, because my hair is so prone to frizziness. May have the start roller setting. Ugh, the thought...

I can't wait for the warmer weather so I can enjoy my coconut oil the way I was meant to.

I am side eyeing Softsheen Carson(L'Oreal) and a certain popular blogger(Curly Nikki) for trying to disguise advertisements for their new product lines(Optimum Care 6-in-1 Miracle Oil and Dark n Lovely Au Naturale) as celebrity hair interviews(Tracy Ellis Ross and Marsha Ambrosius) .

 

[Babygrowth]

I hope all this effort pays off because I'm a hop skip and a jump away from becoming a salon addict again and letting someone else deal with her!

 

[cherishlove]

Omg I don't know what I want to do to my hair braids, sew in or just add some tracks in the back for more length with this bohyme I have. I will definitely henna tonight.

I made a Darcy's box. I ordered from Sage and I'll have it by Tuesday.

I ordered Soultanicals on the 29th and I am sure all of my orders placed with other vendors this past week will be here BEFORE Soultanicals.

I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y

thought i was gonna relax my hair again, then I bought some Qhemet BRBC and some Camile Rose Aloe Whipped Butter Gel. Can't wait to try them out on a twist-out.

Eta: tried the brbc on 1 side of my hair, only used a dab but it's too greasy for my hair. giving it to my sis.

 

[TamedTresses]

I was doing a search and destroy and while trying to cut off one of my split ends, I ended up cutting off the entire section. Thank goodness it was a small section of about 30-35 strands.

I don't believe in Sister Wives, so I think you need to find a new future husband.

i've over-complicated my hair reg, going back to what worked for me. relaxing 3x a year and weekly deep cond and co-washing.

 

[Saludable84]

I need a heat protectant because I want to try flat ironing.

Please excuse my iPhone; it's trying to get it together

African Pride shea butter shampoo and bouncy pudding are great products.

i'm on fiyaahhh lol

thursday night i straightened my hair so that i could make sure that my hair was even (since i did an impromptu cut like 3? weeks ago)

today I was running some errands and stopped inside sally beauty supply and one of the workers was like, "your hair is so cute and curly!"

then I went inside walgreens and the cashier was like, "your hair is so cute! it's so pretty, may I touch it" (*gasp* my first hair molestation request!!) we chatted for a bit about hair while i payed for my purchases


I get sad sometimes since my hair is a lot shorter now (after my little trim the other day I am like 2 inches from apl, I probably cut like 5 inches total) but today was such a confidence boost!! now my hair is a blunt cut and I lovvve it. since i have so many different curl sizes on my head, a blunt cut is so much better for me

sorry for the weird post format, i'm typing this with one hand while eating some fried chicken

I look good!!! muahahahaaaa :eyebrows2

 

[whiteoleander91]

I was looking for it the other day because it worked very well on my hair. Now didnt see it.

 

[myronnie]

BF is annoyed at the smell of the sulfur in the revitalizing pomade i use for my edges...I really like it though but I def gotta be more careful with not letting it get on everything..

 

[sounbeweavable]

I gave myself a trim and pretty much trimmed away all of the growth I got since February (1 to 1.5 inches) oh well... At least what's left is healtier.

 

[SuchaLady]

Yes

SuchaLady is that the scammer's website ?

 

[hnntrr]

One good thing about these twists, seems like my edges are growing in...they seem fuller than normal, I've only had them in one week 3 days ago.... so we will see...I think not manipulating my hair has helped a lot. Only time will tell, hopefully these will last another week or two....didnt braid them correctly so they slip out easy, but it was hard to do with so little hair, especially in the back....

 

[Dee_33]

Relaxed my hair tonight and it came out great. Now I want some highlights...wonder how long I should wait before getting them??? I'm thinking 3 or 4 weeks maybe??? Hmmmm can I do a demi-perm color while I'm relaxed??? Off to research.

 

[myronnie]

Just cancelled curlkit after 1 month. I can't deal with the spills and the slow shipping when they are supposed to be a business!! The email this morning just set it off...less than 1% had spills in their Curlkit??? Like really...I don't think so..you could have left that out.

I was alright when they offered to replace the products BUT they sent an email early this morning that just rubbed me the wrong way. A LOT of people on facebook and another forum were talking about how their products had spilled and to say that less than 1% of the curlkits had a spill issue just seems unbelievable to me . I'd rather that you acknowledge an issue than try to backtrack and cover yourself.

"Based on our numbers, a few CurlKits (less than 1% of our CurlKits) were damaged due to rough handling during shipment. Our fulfillment center is aware of the situation and they are taking all measures necessary to make sure that this does not happen again. The brands have been contacted and orders have been made for replacement products. These should be arriving shortly, once we get them in our facility we will mail out replacements to you."

I want to see how they came up with those numbers and why they felt it necessary to add that into the email..I mean are they going to replace all of the products for each person since there were so many issues or are they going to individualize each replacement? I hope that they still replace my product even though I cancelled..

Oh AND the ori essentials moisturizer that was provided is virtually unusable. It is NOT emulsified correctly..I don't care what they're saying about it being all natural and it needs to be shaken etc etc I've experienced products that haven't emulsified correctly and it behaves exactly like it. Even when shaken the consistency is not correct..and it quickly separates so that the water is all on the bottom and the cream is on the top. Just disappointed I guess since I waited almost 2 months for this curlkit (since March was sold out). Sigh.

Natural hair companies there is something wrong with this equation:

Time it takes to get product out of bottle > Time it takes to product on hair.

Packaging is part of my experience as a customer. Container type, bottle opening, and right size pumps are indicators of whether a company cares about the customers experience with their products or even bothered testing how it will be used.

i've had a weave for a week and it seems like it has been a month... Lord Have Mercy!
