Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Anaisin]

*Coloring my hair again in about 2 weeks. I'm itching to go red, but I'm sure I won't.
*I'll probably wear this twist n curl for 10 days then I'll wash and do 2 flat twists until the 28th when classes are officially over for me. I can't be bothered by my hair during finals.
*I guess by the end of the month it should be warm again so I can wash my hair more often. I still have to figure out how to style with more frequent washing. I don't want to do another summer of wash n go's
*This SM sacha inchi gel smells like somebody's granny. They went overboard on the rose. Geesh. I hope it's not a lingering scent.

Lmao @ somebody's granny

I don't know why I keep playing around when I do my hair. I know which products work best for which type of style...yet I still don't do right. I need to get my life together.

Just received one of my recent orders, and they've gone and changed the formula of my protein boo, Mill Creek Botanicals Jojoba Conditioner. I hope it still agrees with my hair (when I get round to using it).

The Annabelle perfect blends leave in is the equivalent to Alikay naturals leave in for my hair. Feels like I'm spraying a protein treatment on my hair. The morning after I moisturized with them my hair felt "cooked". Very oily and my hair is crispy. So weird

...He says some crap about we are a warrior race so genetically we can't have long hair. Unbelievable.

What does that even mean?!?

Is it okay to go to a natural hair meet up wearing a weave?

Same for me. What helped was to water it down a bit. It takes some of the oiliness and greasiness away. It worked a lot better although I still wouldn't repurchase.

My grays are growing out again after only a week and a half post my hendigo treatment. I sure hope that's because my hair is growing in faster.If that's the case, that's a good thing in my book. I may have to do another henna treatment within a week or two because by then I may have over half an inch of gray new growth if it continues growing this fast - not cute at all.

Lmaoooooo

I don't see why it would be an issue

I gave the Alikay away but still have the Annabelle. Gonna add water to it, thanks

My hair feels so good with Curl Rehab in it. I finally finished my jar and I'm depressed lol

I change my mind everyday. Now I'm thinking of doing a CJ haul

Sure. Naturals wear wigs and weaves as protective styles. Nothing wrong with that

What do you think is causing the extra growth?

Thank you!

Sometimes I really miss styling my hair, as a relaxed girl I wore roller sets and loved the variety of styles I wore each day. As a natural I wear one style for an entire week or a half wig.

 

[fatimablush]

i made a crochet wig...and it was too long..so i trimmed it. it looks awful.. only the back came out right. .

when i make another wig i will just divide the hair in shorter sections...thank goodness it was the practice wig.

ETA" like i said..the meds didn't make my hair fall out...it just isn't growing...it is getting too hot to wear those cute hats...i guess i will go buy scarves to make headwraps.

 

[fatimablush]

So I'm talking to a friend who is a black man, and he hauls off tells me that black women cannot have long hair. I try to tell him that maybe the women he knows, but black women can grow long hair. He says some crap about we are a warrior race so genetically we can't have long hair. Unbelievable.

did you look at him like this

i wouldn't waste my breath on a conversation like that

Lol yeah it looked something like that, but it was mixed with a sense of sadness for some of these brothers. Some have really been mind screwed by white people.

 

[beingofserenity]

I mean... A lot of black dudes don't see many black women with long hair. If I went by my day-to-day life versus what I see online, I might not think that really long hair was a possibility either.

Unfortunately this is true. I didn't grow up w/black women who grew hair to their waist. But that dude sounds insane!

I do come across BW who can't believe other BW have a naturally, looser curl pattern and think it's achieved w/a magic product. If you aren't exposed to all varieties of hair in your own culture, then...

Yeah, if you're only seeing people wear wigs, weaves, or straightened hair...welll even I am surprised at what my hair can do.

Totally agree.

I'm truly enjoying my hair and can't believe I'll be 2 years post relaxer in a few months.

Wow they really changed it, the ingredient list is much longer now.. Plus they completely removed the collagen. Going to look for alternatives just in case.

 

[fatimablush]

i trimmed a wig yesterday...i swept the floor...and now there is this wig hair still floating all over the place...i hate that...

i also hate wigs that shed..out of all the years i have worn wigs..this is the first is the first wig that has shed the most. the second wig i bought like this one...rarely shed. (Sammi is her name)

 

[divachyk]

I hate hair on the floor, even my own which is weird. @fatimablush

I was gonna pick up a bottle of AO GPB to try as the Mill Creek was becoming difficult to get hold of. They moved Aloe Vera Juice right up the list too and added a few other things smh.

Sidenote; What doesn't have Aloe in it these days?

I am going for an interview tomorrow. They want me to rollerset, blow outs and braid hair for weave. I can do all 3 but I am like a mad woman practicing my technique. I just have to believe I will ace my interview and get the job. I wanted to have a job lined up as soon as I graduate. Wish me luck!

Good luck @Napp ! You'll get it for sure!

I am thinking about adding an oil to my ends when I do my wash and go's. My hair seems like it hates oil, but then my ends feel somewhat dry when my wng's fully dry. Iount know mayne.

I bought some Camille Rose Hair Milk to see if my hair likes that. It's nice and thick and creamy so maybe it will give my hair more moisture. It didn't play nicely with the first gel I used this morning tho, so I had to switch gels to avoid those little white balls. Everything dried nicely with no residue and my hair doesn't feel crunchy.

@Napp which keratin treatment did you use? I toy with the idea of doing another keratin treatment but last time my stylist did it, she used too high heat and I lost ALL my curl. Plus Im already 3b/3c and I won't want my pattern to get TOO loose. Also ( ) I have color, so when I was doing keratin treatments, it always altered my color. But I loved the ease when it came time to blow dry and flat iron, and I wonder if it would make my curls less frizzy.....

Have you thought about using serum if your hair doesn't respond well to oil?
