Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[ScorpioBeauty09]

Can't wait to take my twists out at the end of this week!!!

 

[ckisland]

Deep, deep down, I was hoping that my hair would grow back with a uniform curl pattern and texture. I knew it wasn't likely, but what's the harm in hoping.

Yeah, no . The top, sides, and back already have different curl patterns popping up. Dang it!!!!

 

[Frizzyb]

Y'all I'm soo sick of these twists as a protective style, just done!!!! I need a change and it can't be wigs cause I have a huge head and they don't fit!! Quick weaves look good but I've never had one and don't want to go down the expensive hair road as cute as they may be. Gonna watch some YouTube and see what I can do cause I haven't perfected the art of a medium length wash and go without it becoming a tangled mess....guess I'll figure it out, I need some change.

I honestly think they don't know any better. Therefore, I wouldn't expect any better from them. Had it not been for this healthy hair journey, my views about various hair choices would have remained inaccurate. Therefore, I give no energy to the commentary provided by non healthy hair enthusiasts as they seriously don't understand the ins and outs of hair, let alone appreciate all hair choices. I come from an era of using the word nappy. Ppl around me still use this word. I never correct them because I don't have the energy. Therefore, I press the ignore button until I'm ready to tune back in to what they are serving. So, just ignore those comments that come from ppl that don't have an appreciation for all things hair. I seriously don't think it's meant to cause harm though.

Thank you. I completely agree with you. Sometimes those careless comments just come at the worst time. I'm over it all now. Worrying about people's opinions on how I should run your life is about as pointless as it is destructive.

Glad I'm not in the struggle alone. Lol. Like at what point does gravity do its job.

Glad you were able to put it away. I know you have a lot on your plate and you don't need the additional worries of hair. Enjoy your break and take care of yourself.

 

[divachyk]

MsKinkycurl totally agree!

So relaxed my hair some more, but it's still basically 'natural'. I just went from a 4b to a 3c kinda. That'll be fun to wash-n-go when it gets longer. For now, I just did a rollerset and an wearing a scarf headband. That's gonna be my protective style for a minute. Even if I don't roll my hair at night, I can still throw on that scarf and fluff it out and keep moving. It's bout to go down.

Found out that my braider does loc extensions!:woohoo:

Locking it up as I type!

I pre pooed my hair and put two plats in the front and a bun in the back. Well when I went to rinse it out that bun in the back turned into one GIANT dreadlock! I am soooo pissed off. I'm slowly detangling it but it's going to be a long week.

Have someone else who cares about your hair to do it because I know your agitated to work with it and you will just rip through ir

You have my deepest sympathies because I've been there. I suggest that you gather your tools, oils and conditioners around a comfortable seat and pop in a good movie/documentary before working through the knots. I wish you the best!

Like for real!! You'd make crazy money if you could figure that one out. Our hair is giving gravity the finger

Glad I'm not in the struggle alone. Lol. Like at what point does gravity do its job.

For my hair, I think it's never. Though gel and a bonnet dryer let me pretend that my hair grows somewhat down . At it's longest, my hair grew out and down-ish, like it curved

Why is it that every time I take the time to type out a long and thoughtful response to a thread, it's closed by the time I go to post it. I Hate That!! I have a lot of social consciousness to get off my chest

Oh noooo! I have had my hair mat up on me before. :-( How's it coming?

It's been 2 years and 3 months since I've BCed & I still haven't had a chance to wear my hair straightened. I basically need the tools, a few days when I'm not planning to engage in heavy cardio & low humidity.

I planned to do it for the first time in February but my flat iron didn't arrive in time because of the snow delays with the mail.

We'll be doing family stuff all mother's day weekend so I was excited about doing it then but the weather forecast is for high humidity.

le sigh.

 

[naija24]

closing in on 12 weeks post yay!!

I don't see myself getting a relaxer again. It's just cheaper to get blowouts :O or weave/braid up when you want to go swimming or something. I plan to take out my weave the end of May and do a length check.

I am so tired of seeing all the hair vitamin adds on IG showing various women whose hair grew an inch after a week of using the product. Come on son!

 

[knbradley]

One of my really good friends SWEARS by the IT WORKS pills. I can't lie, her hair does seem like it is growing very fast but that could be from her vow to stop perming and to stop addjng heat. I have been doing my research on the pills and I did but some. I will let y'all know my results over the next couple of month. I am not affiliated with the product at all....so we will see. I am going to be the guinea pig

I don't know WHAT was wrong with my hair, but for like 3 weeks straight it didn't like ANYTHING I put on it my curls were soooo limp, it looked like I had significant heat damage (I don't use heat!!). Protein, moisture, clarifying, NOTHING made it feel better! Detangling was horrible and I was getting so many single strand knots. My hair finally feels better again and I could cry I won't take for granted how low maintenance my hair is (didn't even realize this until everything went to heck lol) and how responsive it (normally) is to my efforts.

I had a lot of breakage and my ends were thin as a result of all the drama :/ I gave myself a much needed trim yesterday (probably about an inch). Makes me realize my hair looks best, feels best, and is immensely so much more fun to work with when it is freshly trimmed. It looks thicker, my curls are chubbier and extra perky lol. I don't know how ppl can stand to hold on to damaged, thin ends. Cut it off and free yourself!! lol Holding onto the damage puts the healthy hair at risk and it's too much of a gamble (IMO) to slowly cut it off to spare an inch or two. Especially if the damage travels and you end up having to cut off so much more than you would have initially. Long post, but it's been on my spirit to share this lol. Maybe it will help someone.

Oh, and avocado oil is awesome!! kay, that's it lol

KNBradly I wish it was done on kinkier hair talking about the plates. Because I just don't see 4a and kinkier getting that straight

Word of advice for newbies: Please stick to what products you know work for you, and stop looking for the holy grail products.
I'm looking at old pics of my hair from 2 years ago, my hair was on POINT. I have no idea what product was really making a difference, because in my hair journal I was using different products every wash day. The only thing that I was using on a constant was Mizani bb relaxer. I need to skim my journal and make a list to go shopping.

 

[SlimPickinz]

My hair isn't growing. It's looking fuller, shinier & thicker. But it's not growing. I honestly wanna blunt cut this thing to NL & call it a day.
