Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[GettingKinky]

Why does my hair look its best when it's time to wash it? I was tempted to skip washing it today since it looks so good, but my scalp is screaming, "Nooooo! You betta wash me!"

If I could have 7th day hair on a freshly washed scalp, I could rule the world.

I was just noticing that my hair looks best on day 4-5 and I wash every 6-7 days. It's not fair.

I did 3 strand twists today, and I may be regretting it the next few days because of the humidity and rain. Hopefully I can still keep them looking nice because it sure did take just over 4 hours from wash to last twist. I need some love from the natural hair gawds.

Oh, and why does the front of my hair have almost no curl, but more of a wave, yet it's not damaged by heat nor chemicals? Everywhere else is curly, but in the front, it just looks almost straight. So weird! No relaxer since December 2011, and I use direct heat maybe 4x a year.

Sometimes this natural hair is mind boggling!

What I learned this weekend:

-My hair color is everything and I will neva evah evah give it up.
-I need to straighten once per month to check the status of my ends. Curly hair hides errythang.
-Team rollersetting.
-My hair is way longer than I thought.
-Natural hair makes me lazy.
-I don't give my ends enough love.
-Fine hair needs more frequent trims (at least mine does).
-DH can trim his ass off.
-Team protein.

I used redken products for wash day yesterday. I did a rollerset and flatironed. My hair feels nice and silky

I'm so paranoid about my edges. I take as good care of them as I can while in braids and my braider braids them loose. I'm trying to figure out if they're growing and filling in.

I put this in the Nov purchase thread too, but here is muh new wig that I'm getting made! Pic attached! I'm very excited! I miss my short hair cut, and it will be a new protective style for me! For what I want, she is quoting $150! She is a stylist, and very focused on healthy hair care as well!

I love Aunjaune Ellis' twistouts on Quantico. I wish I could get mine to look (and stay) like that. I'm getting better and closer!

You know you're a member of LHCF when.........

Your coworkers complain about how dark and dreary it is outside but you secretly love it. Dreary days turn your window into a huge "mirror" and you can play with your hair and change styles all day without looking like you're in the bathroom primping.

My sally's card snapped in half. I wonder if they replace it will I be given a new number and then all my points and stuff on my old one would be in limbo and then wasted?

Sally has a points program?

Well not so much points, but they send coupons if you spend a certain amount of money.

If I could stop length checking every chance I get and hold off for 6 months that would be great but it's a hard habit to break.

Dang. I forgot all about that. I haven't seen one of those coupons in ages. I guess I need to buy more?

I like the way you think lol

Ugh my hair was so dry. I came home and did LCO with some good but light products....

 

[ScorpioBeauty09]

Great so I may need to find another braider after a misunderstanding between her and my mom. With my birthday and bar results coming out I was hoping to get my hair straightened after Thanksgiving. Ughhhhhh...

I went to a large BSS over the weekend called Hair Town (Philly). The store had all black women as customers and NOT ONE PERSON IN THERE WAS WEARING THEIR OWN HAIR (except the SA's)!! It made me feel a certain way and I don't know why because I usually don't care. Even the children were pointing at mannequin heads with wigs in anticipation that they could wear them one day because their own hair wasn't good enough.

I think what rubbed me the wrong way was the asian workers in there just grinning at us all with evil smirks. Not to mention that they were playing Lil Wayne at volume ten...Was that supposed to make me feel like you are "down" and can relate Ming Li? Well you can't.

LOL @ "Ming Li"

Thank you for the giggle.

I spend way too much time looking at Youtube videos on hair.

 

[SuchaLady]

Ever take a style out days after getting it? Yeah that's me this weekend.

Wrong Thread!

Straightened my hair Tuesday and it didn't come out as sleek and straight as I wanted. Thinking of trying curlformers to stretch my hair next time.

 

[fatimablush]

anyone still using the Q- redew hand held steamer?

 

[curlyTisME]

I'm happy with my hair right now! I think becoming a straight natural was definitely the move for me.

How has it affected your curl pattern?

How has it affected your curl pattern?

It's looser but not drastically looser. My shrinkage was about 75% before, it's about the same now. I've been a straight natural since August.

I'm color treated also and those areas are a bit looser than all the rest but still at least has a 50% shrinkage point.

How often do you straighten?

I want to order some products off of ebay but some of their prices are even lower than TJ Maxx... making me afraid lol.

 

[julzinha]

I need to keep telling myself consistency and patience is key. I'm just frustrated right now with my weight loss and my hair thickness journey. I just need to know that I'm doing everything right and I should just continue to be consistent and work hard. I need to make a vision board

I just did this. I realize that I dont like weave anymore. Wigs are better for me
