Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[jessicarabbit]

Fingercomber just came out with a "remy" wig for 38!!!!!! But I'm afraid to buy it because my hair keeps getting redder and I'm afraid it won't match :-(

This looks really interesting

Try skipping it for a week and then take 1 dose 1x a day to see how that works.

faithVA Thank you I will give it a shot. Seems like I JUST clipped my nails last week, definitely less than a fortnight and they're already due for a clipping. I usually clip my nails every 3-4 weeks.

Part of me is tempted to stretch my relaxer big time this season so I can see more of my natural texture. I've noticed that my hair grows in more like small waves than naps, and it's making me wonder if I've been wrong about my hair type.

I wish I knew how to comb coil. I can finger coil but I think comb coils come out better. Every time I comb coil I get all of my hair caught up in the comb. I wonder what I'm doing wrong.

Are you using a small toothed comb with the metal end? You twirl holding the metal end in you hand and pull the comb down and out.

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

Yes I am using the right comb but using it the wrong way Ok so down and out. So when my hair is getting stuck, do you think I am not pulling it out? Or am I using too much hair? Or is it just not slippery enough? I know you can read my mind but I thought you may have experienced it before.

yes, I can read your mind.

When I started DS dreads I started them as comb coils. Let me go find a comb and a victim. I'll be back.

Welp, my technique is terrible now. I use some sort of loc/twist cream, small 1/2 square sections. I twirl and pull down and twirl and pull down. Try smaller sections. I need someone with an afro to practice on. Everybody's hair is put away or too long.

Sorry, I am not much help. I learned from a Yt video years and years ago. And haven't done them since his locs started growing and would hold. Are there any good Yt videos?

You are always help. I'm getting ready to work out an then I will try it again. I watched a view yts and I think I have it but when I do it I always end with snagged hair. I will pay attention to see what I am doing wrong.

Good luck. The end IS the trickiest part. You could also twirl your ends with your fingers and some sort of holding product.

I figured it out Well most of it anyway. I was starting too far up the comb and I needed to start more in the middle. This was causing the hair to twirl across the top which prevented me from pulling it. I still working on mastering getting the twist tight at the scalp. I think part of it is product selection. I think I made a mistake by misting my hair with the Hairveda Silica Mist which has glyercin in it. Now my hair is too soft

Its slow going right now and will take me all night. But next time it should be better

Thank You

I'm trying to appreciate my Bantu knot out, but I wish it were FATTER. This fine hair...

I am so glad it worked out. I am glad whatever I said helped you out.

Glycerin can be evil.

I love glycerin. I spray my hair with rose water, glycerin, and avocado oil every morning and every night.

In other news, I ordered NJoy's growth oil and I think it'll be delivered on Monday. I can't wait to try this legendary stuff

I get so confused with detangling my hair. I feel like i have mastered it one week and carry on the same technique the following week and it doesn't seem to go as smoothly anymore. Like at first I was detangling in the shower with Van because it's slippery but I thought soaking wet relaxed hair with slippery conditioner causes more breakage and my drain was getting clogged so I stopped and started drying in my shirt for 15 minutes, finger detangling and than apply slippery conditioner and that was fine one week and then was watching a video last week and the girl made a good point to comb relaxed hair when it's almost dry or slightly damp because the weight of the water on straight hair and the tension with a comb is a no no, which makes sense. Then she said to spray water or conditioner (anything wet) on the new growth because that's how natural hair becomes manageable which makes sense as well. So today after I take my shirt off my hair, I finger detangled and combed my hair easily from top to bottom, then I applied the conditioner and wanted to comb from bottom to top, that when it seems like I made new tangles, even with the conditioner having slip. I was so mad, but I felt it was distributing the conditioner for 100% coverage. Now I feel like i lost UNECESSARY hair smh. That just messes me up for a couple of days. I HATE loosing hair I don't have to over something that worked last week now it's different. I did use a different conditioner but it feels like the same slip.maybe because I have more new grpwth, but it's not like it's a lot more, it's a week later! !!

My edges are back!! So happy! All from relaxer stretching and avoiding serious heat for several weeks.

Now I'm paranoid of salons. I hate how hard it is to detangle my hair and straighten it though. I think I've hit the rough patch of my transition now. Using clips to not have my hair looking a mess.

So I got my hair straightened yesterday for my masquerade ball and it decides to be humid as all hell last night. An hour into the ball...POOF! There goes money down the drain.

My soft bonnet dryer broke yesterday. It was on it's last leg and finally gave up the ghost.

My scalp.has been hurting in the crown area lately. My scalp has been dry also. I've been doing acv rinses and using my pomades and the itchiness/dryness still creeps up sometimes

 

[Victoria44]

I miss my hair... I took out a braid last night to play with a small patch. Only 3 more weeks..

 

[whiteoleander91]

I always thought my hair was normal--low porosity... I'm starting to think it's more like normal--high.

Annabelle's Perfect Blends Hair Creme in Blueberry Cheesecake so thick and creamy! It makes my hair sooo soft. Like I can't get over it lol. Plus it smells yummy. A little goes a long way. I'm really impressed.

 

[Harina]

Wasn't sure if I should start a thread on this but does anyone have this problem. When you twist your real hair (it's soft to touch) in big chunky twists like for a twist out, your hair becomes really hard and crunchy but when you unravel them, the hair goes back to being soft??

 

[SweetlyCurly]

Had one of those whoa! moments today while washing/styling my hair. It really seems to have grown a lot overnight. Probably because I haven't been stressing on growth ever since I chopped. I've just let it do its own thing and enjoying it. So happy I big chopped when I did. My hair is pretty healthy so I won't see cutting sheers for at least a year.

you claim not to be transitioning so relax already. 8 months is more than enough else im not following you anymore.
