Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[ItsMeLilLucky]

My hair is thriving! I mean, she is growing and has a lot of awakened folicials, little twa under my main hair! This is so great because I had a major shed after my dad transitioned. My little follicles are awake now! Thank the LORD ALL MIGHTY for Ayurveda and tea rinses. Very simple but EFFECTIVE!!

I'm so happy for you!

I want some knotless
I don't want to pay for knotless
I also don't feel like DIYing them
I only want them for like a month

Thank you for reading my hair poem.

This is meeeee later next month. I've wanted knotless braids for like 2 years now. Do I want to pay for them? No. Do I want to DIY? Also no.

I took my knotless braids out this weekend but don't have the energy to maintain my hair. So right now it is in twists that I put into two buns. I just made an hair appointment to get my hair dyed, silk pressed, and trimmed. I will ask about getting a weave install there too. I'm too busy right now and don't want to ruin my hair due to stress. Unfortunately, I have a track record of doing terrible things to my hair when I am very stressed out so not being able to access it so easily will be good for me.

My unintended twist out turned out pretty cool. I didn't plan on wearing a twist out, but I took my twist down to wash my hair and decided my hair looked too cute to wash. I didn't separate the twists and it's been in a twist out for two days.

I'm convinced people don't know the difference between a big chop and a hair cut.

I have yet to find something strong enough to lay my edges down. It’s frustrating

Have you tried gorilla snot? I wouldn't recommend it, but I haven't seen anyone say it doesn't work.

I should try that. I’ll get some next time I’m out

Congrats , but I need details! What did you use and how often pls?

I am so happy with my hair right now. Leaving my hair alone these past few years after the last relaxer I had has paid off. I'm back to where I left off between APL and BSL, but my hair is thicker and healthier than it was before. It was well worth going to the salon for a silk press and trim.
Next week I will go into another protective style, so I am going to enjoy a few days of playing in my hair. Getting my hair pressed never lasts more than 2 days for me anyway.

This is my length too. I’ll start experimenting with styling my own hair. Those salon visits are starting to add up

I've really just been rocking out with my little fro. I had to twist it a few days ago because my head was just too hot and my scalp needed some air. No headbands or anything. It's only been a little itchy because wash day is longgg overdue lol. I need to bring it down a notch because I have not detangled or anything I put my bonnet on at night, and refresh it in the morning shower. I need to rein it in.

I'm back lol I'm glad I washed my hair when I did because *Dollar Bill voice* it was about to be trouble trouble.
I was starting to feel some knots in the shower while I was shampooing and conditioning. I wanna say I snipped it in the bud, but I truly cannot find my scissors. The bud got just enough maintenance. I'm in these Set it Off braids but imagine a bootleg cover. They setting something but it's not off lol

Hello sistas,
Which products are my locs e-sistas using to start and/or re-twist locs from start to finishing?

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

I gotta remember to open this collagen.

 

[Prettymetty]

I haven’t done a no buy challenge since 2021. It’s much needed for me. Honestly a no Uber eats challenge would save a ton of money too. I spend an ungodly amount on that app

Would anyone be interested in joining a no buy challenge for the month of August?

I cowashed last night and put my hair in 4 plaits. I’ll wig it for the next few weeks. School starts next month and I want to look decent. I’ll either do some braids or get a blowout and trim the weekend before school starts.

 

[Plushottie]

Truly random I have been ill this past week and curling my wig today really felt divine. It also felt good being able to slick my hair up in a bun. Tomorrow relaxer prep day and I hope I can get through it.

 

[DVAntDany]

It’s funny how quickly I can get in and out of a funk with my hair. I’m glad it’s over.

What are you going to school for?

I want some non scalpy medium knotless braids. I was supposed to be doing them today, but I stayed in bed watching movies with the boyfriend

Thank you for teaching

 

[naturalyogini]

I've been natural for 20 years andI still haven't found my grail products. Every time I think I've found them either the products get discontinued or my hair all of a sudden rejects the product. And my gray hair is product resistant. Exhausted

 

[Prettymetty]

I’ve been so hair lazy lately. Luckily these strands are behaving nicely. Thank goodness for that!

Can recommend @Prettymetty . That stuff would be the only thing that worked for my buns. The original yellow though, the other colours didnt really perform as well. Also please note that build up is gonna be a thing. So don't use too much and try not to have your hair be super dry on application.

Ive been really grateful for how easy my hair and scalp have been since getting sisterlocs. Still miss some styles and products, but a peaceful scalp wins any day.
