Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Lilmama1011]

I can't do a braidout They always come out a hot frizzy mess. I'll probably go grab a pack of Marley hair and ps until I feel like doing my hair next week.

KinksAndInk do you coat your hand with oil while taking the braids out and fluffing?

bought onesta hydrating conditioner yesterday. never noticed it anywhere before (got it at a salon store in the local mall)...i conditioned with it last night and i like it so far...will use it a few more times before making a real decision on it

anyone ever try it?

on day 12 with my twists - theyre starting to look old, but that fine with me. these babies are staying in as long as possible. probably just start wearing up styles a bit more, but not all the time. not really sure when i'll take the twists out...but i would love to go at least 2 more weeks. will put new twists in as soon as these are out.

I love the almond jai twisting butter. It gives me a lot of moisture and good definition. It's a thick creamy consistency and smells like cake batter. I have fine hair and it doesn't weigh my hair down. I only use it for my twist and curl or perm rod sets sealed in with Oyin handmade sugar berries pomade because I don't have to remoisturize during the week and it's the only product for me that makes these styles defined with no crunch, stickiness or buildup. It's the only product I have from the line but I love it.

Yep. My hair just doesn't like them. I can do twist outs, bantu knot outs, twist and curls and everything else with little to no frizz but braid outs And I don't even use oil to take down the other styles. My hair just doesn't like them.

You know...if I have to see one more natural hair video where they want to spend time dancing and profiling in the mirror just get to the darn video!

I love my Misto oil sprayer! My hair is not weighed down with too much oil & my legs have a pretty sheen. This baby will keep me from being so heavy-handed with my oils, plus it looks nice on my bureau.

I love it when simple things work.

What a wonderful thing it would be if we were able to dictate how long we wanted our hairs to be on any given day. I need me some thick MBL hair NOW!

That sounds like the old "Chrissy" dolls. You could push in her belly button and "grow" her hair from SL to WL, then wind it back up with a dial on her back.

Chrissy was a bad B.

I am in a conference in Houston. All this natural hair! I am common.

 

[naija24]

Taking on 2015!! Going into the salon tomorrow to dye my hair a gorgeous honey blonde. I'm excited. TopNotch has inspired me.

 

[atlien11]

i can't keep my hands out of my hair today

 

[KinksAndInk]

My hair is so soft right now. I love it!

 

[PJaye]

This Lace Butter is an unexpected hit...unfortunately, the scent stinks.

 

[cherryhair123]

Regretting relaxing oh well transitioning again...how do I keep having grass is greener syndrome over and over again

 

[PerFicMsFit]

I love curlfomers especially the barrel curl ones. (I continued my random hair thought in the Setting to Success 2015 thread... )

 

[WYSIWYG]

For me, the hardest part of this hair journey is sticking with the regimen, products and techniques that work and not succumbing to hair care ADD.

Maybe I need to find someone else's hair to play in...

 

[meka72]

Really loving these QB products that I've used the last two wash days. Along with APB leave in and creams, these might become staples. I hope that reins in my PJism. Probably not but I can hope.

Over the summer when I still had crochet braids, I cleaned out my hair accessory drawer and gave my sister a bunch of brand new toys: spin pins, Flexi-8s, pretty bobby pins, etc. that I'd never used. I expected to wear braids for a good long time. But I went natural over the holidays and now could use the hair bling.

So a few weeks ago, I mentioned this to my sister and said, "But don't worry, I'm not going to ask for that stuff back." But I clearly expected her to offer to give them back to me.

She looked at me just like this:

Guess I'm off to buy myself some new hair toys.

Someone said some of the biggest natural nazis are frauds. They big chop on Tuesday but look like Diana Ross by Thursday. All bc they rock natural looking weaves.

I had no words.

Holla Do tell.

Don't forget to "@" me when you do, this thread is mad long, please and thank you.

Honey Bee …..Not a person on LHCF….you know that would have set off all sorts of flames. The person stated it on Facebook.

The person was saying generally how the biggest #teamnatural folks are usually the ones rocking the most "unnatural" looks by faking it with kinky weaves. I guess folks see it as the "natural" equivalent of relaxed heads looking like Haile Berry one week and Tracy Edmonds the next - which in their minds makes it not natural at all. Some folks think that unless you look like Celie - with no relaxer, no color, and maybe even no manipulation - that you are not #teamnatural. *shrug*

[...] Some folks think that unless you look like Celie - with no relaxer, no color, and maybe even no manipulation - that you are not #teamnatural. *shrug*

Well, the people who think that need to mind their own business. Wearing your real texture doesn't mean you can't also be glamorous or chic, whether it be your own hair or with little help from added pieces. I'm "Team Natural" not "Team Downtrodden."

However, if someone else wants to rock plaits or shrunken fros 24/7 I'll fight for her right to do that too. Just don't ask me to give up my own style and grooming choices...

Looking at that QB 15% off sale...
I already have an unopened jar of AOHC and MHC type 4 cream has been doing my hair SO right. I might just pass. Might. Maybe.

I love hair compliments. But when I don't give a rat's arse how it looks or put any effort into it, I get the most compliments. I'll never understand this phenomenon.

 

[Lilmama1011]

I always go through this thing where I have a good amount of new growth ;so we all know that you get different amounts of growth in different parts of the hair and it makes my hair look uneven and I just want to cut but I don't. I just get anxious to relax so that I can see the actua length differences. But every time I relax my hair looks fine, I just dust for safety reasons.

 

[Lilmama1011]

I want to stop being afraid of flat irons and straighten it every once in a while but I fear damage and the splits that come with it. I feel like I never show my real length unless it's soak and wet and I take a pic every three months. Other than that my hair always has texture and never is really straight.

 

[Holla]

They are clueless! <----- my thought about women who say they only lose like 5 strands of hair on wash day. Even when I just rinse my hair and nothing else in the shower, my drain hair catcher has more than a few strands! Those women don't have a drain catcher because if they did, they would be SHOCKED to see how many strands they are REALLY losing on wash day. Just because they didn't see the hairs going down the drain, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

I so didn't need to read this. I *love* the Cocoa tree detangling ghee but I'm not supposed to be buying any more products. I don't have room. Even my fridge has stuff now bc I don't want any of my natural conditioners to spoil before I get a chance to use up some stuff. But she hardly has a sale so this would be for future savings. Sigh…...

 

[Beany]

^^^ Holla this is my current struggle. I keep a few conditioners in my fridge (I think I have 4 in there) and the rest under my bed (a tip I got from Lita, it's cool and dark). The container of products under my bed overfloweth lol, but QB sales are SO rare...the struggle continues.
