Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[ImanAdero]

Took out those twists and sitting with oil on my head under a target bag... I think in gonna try my Bobeam shampoo bar tomorrow.

PS I feel like I'm in BSL purgatory. This journey needs to hurry on up.

My scalp is itching like hell!! I know it's because I'm off schedule with my co washing. I will wash my hair and deep condition tomorrow to prepare it for my sew in. I am excited to put my hair away!!

Swim class was fun. My friend who transitioned to natural takes the class with me and she cornrowed my hair into two braids. I kind of like the look! I have almost two full visible inches of new growth, despite my crap relaxer attempt that didn't take at all. I think the universe is telling me to give up on the chemicals lol.

Anyway, stretched its about a quarter the length of my hair ( my relaxed hair is about 4 inches).

Why oh why 17 weeks and 6 days into my 18 week stretch does my scalp start itching?!?! Arghhhh!!!

Hyacinthe Try flipping the bonnet inside out. Put the elastic on the outside and that should reduce the breakage that you are getting...assuming that's what you are referring to above

Thanks Im gonna try tonight self.

I'm glad you had fun at swim class

I cannot wait to take these twists out and wash my hair tomorrow. Wish I could do it today actually.

I was experiment with the Denman for a wash and go....love how fast I can style my hair with it and the definition I get is crazy....what I'm not feeling about it is the crazy shrinkage

 

[FollicleFanatic]

^very pretty curls!

I'm really excited that I'll be straightening my hair for the first time since I BCed 2 years ago. I'm still researching how to do a blow out. I planned to use the 9 row Denman but I've been reading that it can cause damage so I'm not sure how to do a good blow out. My flat iron should be here Friday. I hope delivery is not held up by the weather.

The downside of straightening my hair is that I'll have to take a couple days of from my cardio regimen.

Occasionally...sometimes...erry so often...

It's just hair.

 

[SlimPickinz]

The left side of my hair isn't growing fast enough. I can't keep cutting the right side! Stupid hair.

Your hair is gorgeous!!! I tried using the denman, only to have it declumped my hair and make me look like a poodle

I don't know if I should rinse out my DC now or later? I just can't drag myself to the shower.

I think it takes some playing around to get the hang of it. I'll keep experimenting with it for a couple of more washes. This is 3rd day hair and it's still looking okay. I think the declumping happens if you don't run the brush from the very top sometimes.

Why did I wait so long to try tresemme naturals conditioner? Soft and defined hair

Just bought some shampoo bars. Nettle and Marshmallow root and rhassol and sea kelp. They smell amazing and lathered lots even though I'd bee told not to expect that.

 

[Philippians413]

I want her hair!!!

 

[sounbeweavable]

Thinking of cowashing tonight. I was a bit too heavy-handed with my Njoy oil earlier this week so my hair is a little too oily. Also, my new growth is coming in nicely. I can't wait to relax in a little while.

 

[Prettymetty]

I slept without my satin bonnet last night. That was the best sleep ever! Im doing it again tonight. Tomorrow is wash day so im just letting my braidout breathe

 

[hnntrr]

Installed braids. Only took me 4 hours this time. Mental note: buy 8 packs of hair next time.

 

[naija24]

Made the mistake of cowashing my hair tonight. At a point where I can't style my hair with traditional means, airdrying is out, and my hair can't lay flat for nothing!!! Pretty upsetting.

If I had more hair I wouldn't care. I'd just ponytail or bun and call it a day but I'm still uneven neck length so I'm upset. Can't afford braids until May or so. Blargh. Gonna stick with Dominican blowouts but I think tomorrow I'm gonna get the curly set instead of straight and see if that makes a difference

Had a mini hair meltdown, started feeling bad about the state of my hair, the ends, the length, on and on...

Thankfully DH helped a lot and I still have my hair intact, crisis averted!

Did you use a chelating or swimmer's poo following your lesson(s)? How frequent are your lessons? Why pay for a blowout if you'll be back in the pool in a couple of days?

I'm thinking about doing a no combing challenge. SO says I should do it. But I'm a little scared because I like knowing everything is fully detangled . I was thinking only to use it on wash day to distribute the product. But finger detangling with my hands and pulling out shedded hair seems to work. But I just worry the product won't be fully distributed

I don't plan to get blowouts every week but it's valentines day tomorrow. I want to look nice. I'm buying the swimmers shampoo and cap and goggles today, despite all the snow. It's just been a terrible week and shampoo was the last thing on my mind

Lilmama1011 Try working with smaller sections and taking your time to really smooth the product on your strands. Using "prayer hands" is a good technique. Definitely possible to fully distribute without a comb

TWA is so easy. However, I cannot wait until my hair grows out a bit, as I feel the twa does age me a bit.
