Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Dang, I know I'm getting lazy with my hair if my man asked if I'm doing my hair today. But I plan on straightening my hair when my new flat iron get here and it should be here this week. It's been two weeks since I washed my hair today. I will be trying it out on my mannequin hair first

Shea Moisture has been pulling some shady crap lately. I read that the JBCO line doesn't even have JBCO, they removed the Purification Mask and tried to say that the new one is the same...it ain't, AND now they sneaking cones in products without telling anyone? Ok, Shea Moisture, ok. I have only two products from their entire line and those can (and probably will) be replaced.

I've decided not to try anything new from them.

@Lilmama1011 what kind of flat iron did you end up getting?

So, I just washed my hair today after getting it straightened and I think I have some heat damage. The back of my hair usually curls but today it just looks limp and frizzy. I'm not super upset but lesson learned. No one cares for your hair the way you do.

Maybe you could try an oil rinse followed by a conditioner wash and just stay away from heat for two weeks and hopefully the curls will come back and the damage is not permanent. My hair acts a little different after a dominican blowout but with a little love and care it returns to normal. I hope your damage isn't permanent because you just cut it.

Ok. I am tired of buns. Wanna start wearing my mbl natural hair out without flat ironing it. But I don't know how to style it nor what products to use :'-(

That's how I feel. You know what looks really pretty on MBL curly hair? You conditioner wash it, put in your leave in and oil, then let it curl/shrink/dry about 80%, then do a tension blowdry. It looks really pretty the curls are loose and not frizzy. I use Infusium leave in and argan oil and depending on how dry my hair is, I'll wet it and apply EVOO and bun it for a half hour before I conditioner wash. It comes out really nice.
 
I guess when I get that huge influx of cash, that I'll be stockpiling my hair products/paying my rent for a few months so I don't have to buy anything for a while. Too bad most of the sales will be gone *sad face*
 
I tried 2 new products today: HE Totally Twisted condish and GF Curl Stretch Loosening Pudding (warning: the pudding has mineral oil and petroleum in it).

I wanted products that weren't drying and smelled good, and I'm pleasantly surprised :yep:. I rinsed all of the condish out, applied the pudding as a leave-in/styled, and my hair is still really soft!!
Next time I use these, I'll leave some of the TT in under the pudding.
 
Last night before bed I gave myself a quick overdue trim. Then I had a dream that I did a length Check and my hair was between tailbone length and classic length!

Then, still in the dream, I decided to check again remembering I need to tuck my chin... and I was really bsl. o_O

Then I decide to check again and realized my ends were broken and damaged and my hair needed to be cut to neck length. :bricks::crybaby:

I wonder why I had this dream especially since I just trimmed.

I ordered a blow dryer with a comb. The Conair one. I look forward to seeing how that works when I wash this weekend. Last weekend I washed and used my Solia blow dryer, which I like... but it's a bit cumbersome to maneuver with the paddle brush to me. A comb attachment on my blow dryer is easier, takes me back to the days pre LHCF when I used to do my hair in high school.

On a lighter note, so far I'm digging the semi straight/texturized type looking hair this week. Low maintenance for me.
 
This is random, but I hate seeing young black girls play in non-black or biracial girls long hair. It's like they have this look of envy in their eyes. i work at a high school and I see it all the time. Yea I know, it could be just innocent and maybe i'm thinking too hard, but it makes me sad. they even will say sometimes, "i wish i had hair like yours."
 
still sick. Yesterday after work I was able to oil my scalp and spray the length of my braids with my leave in mix and but my braids back in a bun.
 
Lol this made me think of the mock elections in high school. People nominating the mixed girls with long wavyish hair. None of them ever did their hair, people were just putting their name in it because it was long. One girl's hair always smelled like wet dog because she was an athlete and had her sport as a class/elective. The other ones hair was so frizzy and damaged. Then my best friend who has butt length hair but she was confused why people were saying her when she wore ponytails everyday and hated washing her hair.

In the end, my other friend with a short relaxed cut won though. Her hair was fresh every week, new style and everything.

The obsession with mixed people was creepy and uncomfortable. I recall complimenting a mixed girl's hair one day saying it looked cute. Instead of a simple thank you she said " oh you don't want my hair, it's not all that, I can't do this and that with it, blah blah" basically it was a lightweight brag disguised as "I don't like my hair" all while she was swinging & flipping it in my face. Like ma'am, I don't want your hair, I wasn't complimenting or drooling over your hair texture, I simply said it looked nice and put together that day. Because of the obsession other black girls had with her hair, she assumed all wanted hair like hers. I was always silent in hair, race and skin tone conversations, they were so embarrassing.
 
I just washed my hair and used CON sunflower & coconut detangling conditioning shampoo and one side of my hair feels soft and moisturized like it normally does after washing while the other side feels kinda stiff and yucky. So now I'm deep conditioning for the next few hours to try to fix whatever happened.
 
As soon as I go to order that moisture butter again it's out of stock. I don't want the red velvet scent, I want sweet potato one *sobs uncontrollably*

I could get it from the official site but it takes too long. I hate life
 
I think my hair is super low porosity because it will not absorb anything without heat. Absolutely nothing. I finally mastered the wash and go, but kept having to wash it after only a couple days because it flaked. My leave ins would not absorb and reacted badly to every gel I tried. At this point, I'm putting a squeeze of conditioner in my water bottle and spraying my hair with that.
