Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

It looks like I had some breakage at the front of my hair...about 2in or so. This is why I need to take more pictures and probably start measuring my hair. And I'm pretty sure I know why. I slacked on my hard protein treatments to get more moisture in for the winter, my hair didn't get mushy but I know that it thrives on protein. I know better :sad: I'm going to go cry now.
 
I'm in the awkward stage now. My hair is out of the cute twa stage but too short to bun without breakage.
Ugh, I'm seriously considering relaxing and starting over as a long term transitioner.

Karmi you could texlaxed. That's what I did when I was on the natural journey. Your hair will hang the way you like that way.

*****************

Yeah, I'm totally going to transition from relaxed to texlaxed. I miss my curls.

Hmmm, good idea, something to think about. I love my curls but can't stand the awkward length.

How about braiding your hair up for a little while to get you over the hump? You'll out of the stage in no time.
 
Watching Taren Guy's salon series. Good stuff. I understand she can be a mess, but those were good information. I wish I could request more from her.
 
Karmi Do a strand test to see how long it takes for your curl to loosen a bit. I actually cut random pieces of hair off to do a strand test before I knew you were actually supposed to do them on hair that's still attached to your head *chuckles*

maybe hiding your hair for a while will help. Wait for it to grow some. Even if you texlax or relax your still be at the same awkward length.

I am lol. I didn't do my aphogee 2-step the other day cuz I couldn't find it but I found it right after I slathered my hair in product smh so I'm definitely doing it Monday when I get out of class. For now I'm going to give my hair a few doses of the keratin & green tea reconstructor
 
I wanna attempt a wash and go with this Wet Line Xtreme Gel, but what am I gonna do with it tomorrow if it looks like ish? I have to go work. :lol:
 
soooooooooooooooooooooooo tired of my friends complaining about their natural hair and how hard it is to manage! they won't listen to anything i recommend.....insist on calling me "white" girl when they see my hair in person.....but yet won't take ANY OF MY ADVICE!:ohwell:

maybe your hair is an unmanageable bird's nest (yeah....i said it) :nono: because you don't deep condition! shampoo every day with sulfates!!! never trim your ends!!! never detangle your hair!!!! never sleep in a scarf or satin pillowcase!!! and never ever ever moisturize your hair!!!!:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:


OMFG!!!!!!!!!!! i will not spend another year listening to this ish!!!! i just won't! i'm not WHITE! i take care of my hair. period.:yep:

rant over.....happy new year y'all. i am off to delete some contacts.....

So that was a failure of epic proportions. :wallbash:

I have ZERO curl definition in the front so while the back looked ok, that part was hot a** mess. Up in a bun it goes. :ohwell:
 
Thank you ladies for the encouragement! This stage is awful but I know I'll regret it if I relax/texlax. I do love my hair.

Maybe I should hide my hair. DH hates braids, weaves and all the like but he's going to have to deal with it. Off to the crochet braids and hide your hair threads I go :)

Hang in there Chica! It gets better. I promise it does. Your hair is lovely! ;)
 
A white man touched my hair last night. It is in cornrows. He's a coworker of dh and he told me he liked it, then asked how long i would keep it up. I thanked him and told him maybe 3 weeks, just depends on how much I work out. He was like of so you wash it like this? He made a massaging motions with his hand and net thing you know his hand was on my head. Awkward. If he was not a friendly person I'd have punched him.
 
*shocked face* As many of you know, I got my hair done the other day * chuckles* But what's so shocking to me is that I have virtually no shed hair...I've always had a bunch of hair coming out shedding / breakage and now I didn't have one shed hair. I even even let my 6yr old male offspring brush my hair and still nary a strand came out*cues praise break*. I think this fingers only (and I do mean fingers only, I don't even use a comb/brush on wash day)-tea rinse-multiple Co washes-supplements, etc., Regimen is working. Hallelujah *cues another praise break*<<What can I say, I like praise breaks lol
 
I just saw a ww in the grocery store with most struggling struggle pony I have ever seen on any woman. It was a fingernail long, her edges were gone, and she had like 10 clips in the back to hold it in place.and we think we have hair issues smh.

Fighting auto correct everyday

I PSd 95% of the time during the awkward stage to keep from cutting or relaxing. Maybe you could find a PS to get you through? It should only be for about 6 months to a year.

This reminds me of this nurse at work who I gifted a bottle of Hairfinity to. White, straight-haired, blonde woman with the most broken off, terrible hair that I've ever seen. I was astounded when I first saw her hair!
 
I have a box of semi-perm hair dye on my bathroom counter right now. But its black so now I'm like :spinning: I don't know if thats the color I want anymore... and I've never dyed my hair before

I'm just over this dusty brown color my hair is right now. It looks dry even when it isn't. Dark hair almost always has a healthier look to me
