Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Honey Bee]

I really like Oyin hair dew but I don't care for the scent and it sort of flaked/turned ashy in my hair after the first day . I am thinking of revisiting though bc I am doing my hair more frequently anyway.

My hair seems similar to yours. (Is your hair fine?) I don't usually like heavy creams, but I love Oyin Hair Dew. It's my 2nd best. Heavily diluted KCKT is my fave, I only use the Oyin when I'm going into a ps.

Ordered some iodine and selenium supplements; will be doing coffee soaks twice a week. My doctor appointment is towards the end of the month, and I did not want to wait. At this rate, I may as well get my own bloodwork done...

Selenium. My mother was having a bad go with her thyroid. She takes it so I take it as a preventative measure. This summer, I had all my stuff tested and I apparently have no thyroid issue, but I ain't taking no chances.

As a warning, tho, my mother's hair is thinning out in the crown really bad (which makes it very difficult to do crochet braids, but anyway). We don't have thick hair to start with so this is just tew. much. But she brought it back (internally) and (with the help of Surge 2.0) her edges and crown are filling back in. She made some major dietary changes and is seeing a holistic dr. If you're curious about how she treated it, just let me know and I'll get the deets. We got you, sis.

For people who like Oyin hair dew (I liked it too, but hated the scent and price lol), have you tried African royale braid spray?

That stuff will get your hair super soft

I think my strands are mostly medium, but wouldn't it be somethin if I have fine strands and never realized lol it might explain a lot. I need to test KCKT alone in my hair b/c I don't remember it feeling particularly one way or the other in my hair. I do think it's the KCKT that made my KCCC/KCKT wng a little crunchy, bc by itself, KCCC is really juicy lol

Same. That's cuz it wasn't watered down. Try it again and @ me.

So many things to try! Lol I will have to check this out, maybe liquid is the way I need to go. I will say that I really like using serum as a leave in, my hair feels great w/ serums. Some variety is nice though.

Will do!! Thanks

I can't believe I need to stop and buy another wet brush! I don't know where I keep misplacing them but I tried last week to just detangle my hair with a paddle brush and that didn't work out all that great.

Hey ladies

It's been a while, but has anyone tried crochet microlocs? I just installed some and I love 'em! Especially since my hair is still short in the back. I think I'm going to grow it just long enough so I can put some clip in's on lmao. They're long enough to cover the shaved part.

It wasn't until late last night when I got home, so I took my shower much later than usual. I really wanted to redo my hair, but didn't want to try to go to bed with super wet hair or bother with blow drying. So I applied just a small amount of serum to my hair in 4 sections and did 4 big braids and pinned them back and went on my merry way to bed lol.

Not only did my hair almost completely dry, which is unheard of whenever I have attempted braid outs in the past, especially with so few braids, but my hair was very soft and non dry/crispy! I will try again tonight and will add a few mists of my Black Vanilla liquid LI by Carol's daughter just to see if it will make my hair feel even better. Wish I took some pictures bc my hair was lightly defined and fluffy nice to have another quick option other than a wash and go.

Happy birthday @Haute Grey Fox @GrenadianGal

Thank you so much. Had a great day. Have been neglecting my hair a bit. Taking a full course load and working. Need to get back into it and find balance.

When you can finally put your hair in a ponytail after getting a haircut! =)

 

[Aggie]

So I colored my hair this morning and my says "Haaa, thank you so much miss lady. Now that's what I'm supposed to look like." She's so funny sometimes.

 

[whiteoleander91]

I hate when I am watching a product review vid and the person is like "Let me show y'all the back of my head so y'all can see what my hair looks like" and then they turn around and proceed to shake their head the entire time! Cain't nobody see anything when you are whipping your hair back and forth! lol Like I am trying to see how much curl definition you got from the product but you won't stay still long enough!!!

My BF purchases aren't here yet...pretty safe to say I live at the end of the earth..I mean if I fly 2hrs north I can go watch icebergs lawd.

Which reminds me, I need to win the battle of halee vs wig this winter cause its already serious and I'm not about to let my hair get chewed up.

I saw that at my local bss. I went with the argan oil one though. I can't stand coconut.

 

[halee_J]

Is that Eco coconut new? I have a huge jar of the olive I need to get through

 

[faithVA]

I should be twisting my hair but I think I'm going to play one of those word games online for a while

 

[curlyTisME]

I will be pin curling nightly, I think wrapping is hurting my edges on one side.
