Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Can't wait to take these braids out when I get back from vacation. My scalp is itchy:nono: and I miss my hair.:yep: I think I'm going to use Garnier Nutrisse Triple Nutrition shampoo and DC again. I really liked how my hair turned out last time.:grin:
 
Ew, my hair feels greasy... and *whispers* it smells bad! :blush: I can't wait to finally clarify, condition, and detangle...

I am getting my hair relaxed this Friday after a whole six months! This was fun but I can't see myself stretching this long again.
 
Serious question. Before I possibly give myself a set back, what's the difference between bad ends and thin ends? How can I tell the difference when I may need a trim?

My ends are really bad and uneven but I can't tell if they're in need of a trim or not...I've been trying to keep it moisturized and I wrap my hair every night.
 
Because I was super hair lazy this past weekend I HAVE to do something to my hair tonight. I just...don't feel like it.
 
Right now I am laying in the bed with a wet hot tshirt, a heating pad on my head and a towel to cover it all (barely). Desperate times call for desperate measures. If this DC works I am going to save for a heat cap.

Lo po realness

This is debatable - naija24. Bad = breaking. Thin = breakage or uneven hair growth. Only you can to determine what's happening and it may take time so don't make any quick decisions. Are you familiar with your hair growth pattern? This will help you determine thin (bad) due to breakage vs. thin due to uneven growth.
 
How do you ignore people???

I just wanna log in without seeing any of their posts. Im so annoyed :angry:

Do I have to get on the computer or can I do it from my phone?
 
Today is the first time that I could take my time and do my hair in 5 1/2months. Thank goodness for homecare. I don't know how single moms do it:/ even with a hubby I can't :O

Just cause your ends are uneven does not automatically mean they're damaged
Stylists and haircare companies have drilled that into our heads but its not true the real reason people maintain a even hemline is for the look only it has absolutely nothing to so with the actual health of your hair.
you know there are people who have even ends but their hair is frye dyed and laid to the side with see through gaps where you can see scalp that's not healthy hair at all
I know we've all seen this

If you feel ssk or you actually feel or see a split end and there are a lot then I would dust a little
If you hair is damaged from chems or too much heat trim 1-2 inches off that all if not just keep sealing those ends
True split ends are visible you don't need a magnifying glass and no they won't split all the way up the shaft if that we're true neither Sampson or millions of Sikhs East Indians would have any hair and they're all known for super long hair that they never cut.
I posted a woman on YouTube who's a Sikh with knee length hair she's never cut it and its gorgeous and thick. It's in the HL TL or classic thread Hth
I found it in the TL classic thread

I like my new regimen. I will stick to it. It fits well into my life and my hair is the better for it. Amazing what the right methods and, secondarily, products will do for my hair.
 
I made my goal and now I just made an appt with my stylist to cut my hair into a bob. I am excited, but Dh is gonna have a fit:perplexed
 
I saw someone with floor length locks. Thy looked heavy.

I'm also sitting at the bar by someone and her weave is horrendous. Her man hasn't noticed this and told her to handle that? Smh
 
8 months of hair growth!! I'm so happy and excited. On track to SL by December!

Thinking of going without heat for 6 months or even a year. My mom and my sisters are doing it just because they're focused on other things. But I've been trying to grow my hair for years and I have, using heat although doing it responsibly. DC-ing on every wash day, using heat only 1-2 times a month, always using heat protectant etc. I dunno. Feeling some pressure right now.

They usually act crazy like they dont understand what you mean about texture so what I used to do is lie; after 8 mins I say its burning & start screaming. Oh yea....they'll wash it out then. ;)

If your current hair regimen includes the use of heat & it's been working for you, don't feel pressured to switch up because others are; take it from someone who has suffered many a setback following hair fads & random trends. Do what works best for your hair, period.

Sooooo, I finally washed my hair, dc'ed & did a protein treatment, but now I have little to no motivation to style it. Meh.

Aww, thanks for that. Well I would actually like to lay off the heat even though my hair is thriving and growing. Thing is I like wearing my hair down so I'm thinking of getting Senegalese twists as a PS while being able to wear my hair the way I want.

Np dear and I feel ya. Just make sure if you scale back on heat you gauge the health of your hair periodically. & Senegalese twists are my go to protective style; they're so pretty and versatile and best of all when installed you still have full access to your scalp.
 
Um wondering if my Shea moisture shine shampoo Has gone bad .....why is it brown the pics I saw of it was a totally different colour


And the shine spray um where's the scent ?? Mine has zero scent :look:

You are so dang pretty! You know the type of pretty girls who are just naturally pretty & dont need makeup as an enhancement? You're that type of pretty. ;)

Are you transitioning? Ya know, I think short cuts look great on you. Im afraid if you grow longer hair it will make you blend in with every other chic & hide your pretty face. :(
