I Would Spend More Time On My Hair If It Weren't For...

[krissyhair]

I would spend more time on my hair if it weren't for . . .

the fact that the amount of time I spend on it, doesn't improve how it looks or feels in the end.

I would spend more time on my hair if it weren't for . . .

all of the extra thick deep conditioning products, manipulation, overnight treatments, and layering products actually breaks my fragile hair. It likes to be conditioned and left alone.

I had no relatives, relations, budget, and work

 

[LushLox]

I don't need to spend any more time on my hair. I think I spend a decent amount of time on it really. And like you OP any additional stuff isn't really going to do much for me anyway and I don't need the extra manipulation.

My laziness.
I do just enough to look nice at work.

I would spend more time on my hair if it weren't for:

It takes over 2 hours each wash day twice a week
My kids get into trouble, because I'm stuck in the bathroom
Low manipulation works better for me

Work, and other people asking me to do their hair.

My sheer and utter laziness

It seems like all hayle breaks loose on wash day! everybody goes crazy, since Mommy is in the bathroom doing something for herself! I still do it! It takes me all night, but I still do it! Lol

If I didn't have 3 other heads to care for. DS#2 is on the grow out, DD has long thick beautiful but challenging hair, that must be kept in protective styles ALWAYS & DH is going bald and refuses to moisturize LOL!!

...it taking so long to style. If my hair didn't take so long to style, I would probably cowash, rinse or shampoo every day or every other day. But once I do that it seems to take forever to do LOC and then it takes another 30 minutes to an hour to style it. It's the styling time that dissuades me from starting on my hair in the 1st place.

If my hair wasn't required to be up/back for my career.

Whenever I'm on vacation I play in my hair non stop.

Same

I would actually like to spend as LITTLE time on my hair as possible. But I would wear it in more cute styles if it wasn't for the military.

 

[mzteaze]

My lack of styling skills. I have every other aspect down part except for styling.

....my current circumstance.

 

[beingofserenity]

I don't want to spend more time on my hair

I admire this. I wonder how mom's balance doing hair, especially naturals where it takes a lot more time to wash/twist. Kids give you no break.

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

If I wasn't so tired all the dang time. I'm burnt out on life lol

 

[Angel1881]

....my current circumstance.

I'm so sorry.

 

[rileypak]

My wash day is already 4-8 hours, which is why I only wash once every week or two.

I spend enough time on my hair already

 

[krissyhair]

....my current circumstance.

Is everything okay?

 

[divachyk]

How much my hair sheds. I hate how much it tangles in my fingers, all in the brush etc. It irks my soul have to clean up the hair.

 

[Kimiche]

It being so dang hard to manage. I wish my hair wasn't so dang difficult. It hates many products and breaks off when I do not put anything in it. I can't win with this, and it has been in individual braids for awhile because I can't deal anymore.

 

[Tchanelle]

Work, graduate school, sleep...lol

10 minutes to wet.
10 minutes to wash.
10 minutes to apply DC.
30-45 minutes to deep condition w/o heat.
10-15 minutes to rinse thoroughly. Add 20 minutes to finger detangle.
1 hour for 16 dookie twist.
10 minutes every morning to Bun.

I am not spending anymore time on my hair. My weekends matter.

What's your regimen?

 

[Kimiche]

What's your regimen?

At this point I don't have one. I used to be relaxed and I would wash it weekly using a variety of moisturizing shampoos, and then I would deep condition with a moisturizing conditioner. I'd use a leave in and either air dry or blow dry. My hair seems to hate oils (especially coconut oil) so I rarely used them.

I tried so many daily moisturizers, but my hair would always end up feeling dry. The products never penetrated into my hair no matter what I did. I even tried to incorporate protein into my hair regimen. I spent so much money on my hair, so I just decided to put individual braids in so I do not have to worry about my hair.
