Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Why is Bask Tapioca magic in a jar? Why does it define and pop my curls when nothing else does? Why am I nervous about running out when I have a back up? Why am I so stingy when it comes to my tapioca? How does it smooth my hair so well, wet or dry? Is it the cupuacu butter? What is it MAN? What?

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

It's ON!!! :user: I get paid today. Put it as a reminder in my phone to order me some. Woohoo! :lick:

Ohh, I dont care too much about smells as long as its not neem-like. I assume it's pleasant and not overly strong?

Thanks @HanaKuroi!

Smells almondy? It is not strong whatever it is. If you don't like it I'll take it!

Does BASK typically do a valentines day sale? Trying not to buy anything hair related for a while, but I would like some more body products..
 
It seems the longer my hair gets the faster my roller sets get?! I did my roller set in 22 minutes last week. What the heck?!

You've got mad skills :yep:!!!

There are not enough blog posts or videos about the relaxed and loc'd journey. Guess I'll be taking lots of pictures and documenting my journey then :look:.

They had a flash sale on select body products last week.

I hope they have a Valentine's Sale. I would like more cocoa treat, yam and whiskey.

Thanks, yeah I got a couple things during that :lol: but the one thing I really wanted wasn't on sale (lemon beignet sugar scrub)
 
ckisland, thanks lovie! I don't do as many rollers as the salon. I do 6 on the left, 5 in the mohawk and 6 on the right. Maybe that is why. :)
 
That pumpkin seed conditioner by Darcy's is starting to grow on me! Uh-oh! It kept my hair moisturized for two days! :love:
 
I went to detangle my 1 week old braid out and it looked super frizzy because I was trying to squeeze the life out of this braid out while still moisturizing and sealing twice daily and it was super easy to detangle! I usually detangle in four sections but I noticed when I do that the sections are too long vertically so I assume I skip certain parts and encounter more tangles. I did eight sections top and bottom (I had already moisturized and sealed) and I removed the shedded hair while finger detangling and it was a breeze. I didn't loose that much shedded hair being that it was a weeks worth of shedded hair. I see detangling on dry hair is much better than spritzing my hair first and than detangling, it's crazy that I'm just finding it out. I also stopped combing my hair under running water with conditioner. I see after washing and observing the water and doing it the same way I did above makes me lose less hair and I just use a slippy one on top of the deep conditioner if that one isn't slippy and comb it through before getting under the dryer. I am read to retain major length. I am not thinking about touching any scissors!
 
Started off wrong with the twist and the rubber bands at the end, SO had like 75% done and it was staying so we watch a video and he put shea moisture gel at the top as well as the bottom and was able to twist my hair without rubber bands, even if they were the safe ones they are no good in my hair I just pull them out instead of unraveling and that's a no no for my ends. That flaxseed gel is very moisturizing and gives great shine. I don't feel like I have to moisture nor seal even though a applied a little oil and sprayed my ends at night to apply the rollers which makes up for moisture
 
Because its a luxury item like Starbucks coffee
Imagine how much this rod is who don't weave are savings at the end of the year that's a good neat egg

And it's called supply and demand as well. A lot of people wear weave so if you want it, you going to play a pretty penny. I am so glad weave is not what I'm into. Because I would want the good stuff and would pay hundreds rather than the cheap stuff
 
This past Saturday, I pre-poo'd with protein, shampoo'd then DC'd with moisture. And I am loving my hair; it has so much moisture in it without being mushy. I normally prepoo with moisture and DC with protein, but I think I like this way better.
 
I think I may have ptsd from not wearing PS. I want to take down my braids sometime in the next two weeks to baby my hair after wearing braids for (by then) almost 7 weeks but i'm terrified of for my ends.

I'm sure I've retained so much length but I really don't want to have to trim a significant amount again. One inch was horrifying enough.
 
I have a hair appointment this Saturday with my new favorite stylist before my masquerade ball and I'm rather excited about it. I never thought I'd ever find someone that I trusted enough to straighten my hair and actually like it. But before I go and get my hair pampered, I think tomorrow I'm going to cowash with the As I Am coconut cowash that I picked up and try Naptural85's effortless beach curl tutorial. Looks pretty easy. Her hair is way longer than mine so I'm sure it won't take as long for me to do it.

*sorry for the rambling. I'm not in any challenges and don't have anywhere else to babble about these things lol*
 
My hair has been about the same length the past few months despite keeping it in a bun, taking hairfinity and sulfur oil. I am really disappoint in my lack of progress.
 
Shrinkage is real, OMG. The first picture is my hair with 12 weeks of new growth. The second picture is my hair stretched down. The difference in not just length but thickness is crazy to me!!

having these twists are so low maintenance, the next day i didn't feel like had to moisturize i just put a little sweet almond oil just because. all i do is spritz ends with my mix and put perm rods, i dont have to worry about tangling , if anything i might retwist one a day
 
I had a dream about rollers. I found a store that sold nothing but rollers. I had an armful and the store was closing for the day. I kept looking for DH so he could hold the rollers i had in my arms so I could grab more. They were so pretty. I kept dropping packs of rollers and trying to grab more. DH appeared and told me the whole street had roller stores and we could come back tomorrow. I was so happy. I woke up happy. It was like that scene in one of the Harry Potter books. Honeydukes but with rollers instead of sweets. It was glorious.

What does this dream mean? I think I should buy some rollers.

Next month it will be 2 years since the barber shaved my hair off. I have been meaning to do a blowout (& straighten if I can find a reasonably priced flat iron) since the beginning of the year, but that will be a lot of work just to have it revert since I'm working out & sweating. My last blow dry was in April and I haven't straightened my hair since it was cut. I've been wearing it braided under wigs for months. Speaking of wigs, shorter wigs last much longer.

I think I'll do my hair President's day weekend so that I can take my time with it.
