Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

@GettingKinky You better cancel after your next appointment

I may cancel my next appointment. If I don’t, she’ll see that I got my hair cut elsewhere. But she’s so nice. But she also wants to blow dry my hair just to trim it. I’m such a wimp.

I tried this trick and It gave me the best top knot ever! so full and cute, and the perfect hairstyle for old wash n'go. It's so easy to do and take down:

I've always done my daughters' buns like this. Typically we do two and call them "Minnie Mouse" buns lol.

It’s okay. I’m sure she’ll understand. I wish I could text her on your behalf lol. You got this. Better do this now or suffer with a setback.

So I ended up getting a relaxer late last night. Only the new growth was relaxed and the rest of the hair was left alone, but after I rinsed I noticed my hair was tangled more than usual. I wonder if it mattered I washed my hair flipped over in the sink vs in the shower.

Walked into Sally's (they are having a bogo) and left with nothing. Progress.

I washed my hair yesterday and tried some new products. My hair hated it, so I had to wash my hair when I got home from work today. I feel much better now.

Edit: spelling

I’m thinking about doing a bleach bath to strip this dark toner and lighten my roots a bit. I have ombré balayage. I had it done about 6 months ago. It was super expensive, but not nearly as light as I wanted. I just bought some cheapie vo5 shampoo, developer and bleach. I just gotta find the time to do it. I have plans every night this week. It’ll probably be Monday at the earliest. I’ll be sure to dc afterwards and post pics.

Man that bleach bath ain’t do ****. My hair still looks the exact same. I let it sit for only 5 minutes. When I try it again in a few months I’ll use it on dry hair and I’ll leave it for 10-15 minutes.

 

[Prettymetty]

I guess the bleach bath clarified my hair a bit. I feel like my dc really did something today. Detangling was really easy too. It was basically squeaky clean until I put the leave in on it. I braided it and sealed with a large amount of coconut oil. I luh that stuff

I haven’t had a real trim in well over a year and my ends are sooooo tangly

Oh no! Maybe your cuticles are still open. You can close them with a 50/50 vinegar/water mix. It’ll also help get rid of any relaxer residue if you have any. That can cause tangling as well. GL!

I am really enjoying making DIY hair products. So far I have a DIY Hair Oil, DIY Daily Spritz and a DIY Pre-poo/Rinse.

I think I want to start making my own DIY deep conditioner. My hair loves Rhassoul Clay and I currently buy the Bentonite and Rhassoul Detox Mask for J. Monique's Naturals. However, I know a lot of people have had customer service issues with her and she doesn't keep her shop open all of the time so that means I run the risk of running out of the mask. I just have to figure out what ingredients to put in the mask.

Thank you for this, I'm going to try the 50/50 mix and a trim possibly.

Gonna install long-ish marley twists in my hair at the end of May.

 

[shasha8685]

So free hanging twists gives my hair a more 'fro like/ maybe wash and appearance vs flat twists.

I like it.

I've also been getting compliments on 5-6 day old twist outs so others must like it too lol.

Looking forward to finally taking down my hair this weekend.

I'm either late or extra late but I'm seeing more curly hairstylists being anti-oil. It's interesting.

I saw that on the lippaint place. I don’t have an account, I just lurk there lol. They talking about some guy that calls himself the curl doctor and how he’s anti oil.

Ha! We are referring to the same person I bet. My salon is also anti oil and a black stylist I follow from LA is too.

I've been seeing this as well. You can pry oil from my cold dead hands though lol.

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

I just got my RevAir (1 of my 2 last major purchases. The other was a juicer lol), and I don’t think the wand is as heavy as everyone says. The heft kinda reminds me of my Yellowbird hair dryer, except maybe a little lighter. Now that thing had some weight on it. I never held it by the handle, because it was too heavy, so I always held it by the body

Same
Especially my Haitian Black Castor Oil. That’s my luver.

Lol. I don't use oil super often. But it's interesting cause it's like a whole aspect of natural hair practices.

I love air drying for wngs but hate it for pretty much anything else.
