Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I cannot use gels. I must use a setting foam or mousse for twistouts. My favorite is Nairobi. I get lasting hold and definition and no crunch. I finish with a little PM SS. I'm a 4abc. I have to use something that will allow my fine 4abc hairs to "slide" against each other instead of sticking together and matting. I'm currently on day 6 of a twistout. Maybe you should try a setting lotion instead of a gel.

I'll try that. Thanks.
 
Some of these YT'ers should reconsider what they expose in their vlogs. I don't want to see your breastfeeding nipples nor bulk of your huge breast, don't want to see you naked in the bath with the baby and please stop wearing clinging wet towels ....just resume film when you're dressed. What on earth? I pee and blow my nose and scratch my armpits...do I need to show that? Not everything should be shown on a vlog or video. Don't these people have jobs? Bosses, neighbors, cousins? Over-sharing.

I didn't post my reggie because I'm sure you ladies of tired of me talking about mu twists lol.
I just wash with a mild cleanser and DC with heat once a week alternating between a protein and moisture consitioner. But this week I used joico moisture rinse out conditioner as a DC and it really fit my moisture and protein needs so I won't have to alternate anymore. Before each wash I prepoo with a cheap conditioner and section my hair off into 4 sections just to get my detangling process started. I keep my hair in sections throughout the wash process and let my hair air dry for about 45 minutes so that my porous strands aren't too fragile during styling.
I only style my hair with juices and berries Naptural85 style. I moisturize with EVCO and seal my ends with a natural butter blend as I twist my hair into smallish twists. I then PS through the week with my flexi 8 clips/updos making sure to leave my bangs out to prevent strained edges.
I noticed a huge change in my hair when I stopped using a water-based moisturizer. It was too much for my porous hair. My poor color treated bangs were suffering. I can use unnatural rinse out products without any trouble, but I cannot leave an unnatural product in my hair for a week. It will dry it out over time. Also, I got tired of paying for it!
 
I plan to straighten my hair again next week. I hope to be inching back into WL land before the EOTY. I really need to perfect my blowout game since that will be key to a good flat iron. If it looks good, I'll try to get some pix. If not, no evidence will be available. LOL

Ok now there's really something wrong with her. People doing crazy just in front of one person is bad enough but to do it in front of other people like it's normal behavior is really creepy...

Can you go to a different doctor? Or tell them the problem and have her removed? That's some ish that might go to the next level...

Lol @ BRF :lol:

I luv my doc..I will just have me treatments on one of the other floors. My mom was like there is no sense that. So my doc is making those arrangements.
 
So I probably won't try straightening again unless I find a better way to combat the humidity here, I just don't trust those texture manageability systems... Also I'm going to ahve t invest in a better fine tooth comb, for when I eventually attempt setting my hair again.
 
I've decided not to change anything else in my regimen until my first wash day in February. Then I will be adding prepoos and oil rinses.
 
Target just added a ton of the new Shea Moisture hair, body, and face products on their site. Some say unavailable but most you can order now.

Not buying any hair products but I may buy that sensitive skin face moisturizer. My favorite moisturizer was already $65 now I believe it went up to $72. Mind you, it's barely 2 oz smh I keep trying to find a replacement but it's unmatched so far
 
While my flat-iron attempt was a fail, I had an amazing sleek low bun. I'm gonna wear this low bun all this week and then put back in the long box braids next weekend. I'm also going to have to experiment with wet bunning after I take out my next set of braids, hopefully I can work around the front of my hair being so much shorter than the back.
 
Don't let anyone cut your layers. I wanted a blunt cut. Actually endes up with a cut so the crown of the hair hangs lower than the nape. Crown is 18 inches, nape is 11. Could have been waist length and beyond if the nape was 18 inches as well.
 
DCing overnight again. I've gotten so hair lazy that this is the only way I'll get around to DCing. Instead of doing my nightly M&Sing, I just add whatever I want to DC with and then cover with two grocery bags, my skull cap and a bandana. I sleep on it fine and no drips. I've never DC'd prior to washing but that's what I've been doing these past few weeks. We'll see if my hair likes it.
 
My scalp is dry and itching like crazy and I can't find my Pura Body Naturals mango tea scalp butter.
I do have some Sulfur 8 though but I really really don't want to put that stinky stuff on my scalp. *auggh*
 
Found my camellia oil at Marshall's. There it was, just waiting for me. Miracle. Anyhoo, I love this oil. It's a winner and a keeper...hair is moisturized and soft. No smell, non-greasy. Indian oils are good but they stink horribly and are so greasy so I'm saving all the sticky, stinky oils and concoctions for pre-poo. Camellia/tsubaki is for daily use now.

How much was it? What section of the store was it in? How many ounces are in the bottle? TIA!
 
My wash day is supposed to be Thursday but I want to wash now. I need a hobby or something because when I get bored I feel the need to wash my hair. I guess I'll try to hold off until at least Wednesday.
