Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

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.

I can't see how an oil rinse and conditioner wash would hurt if that's possible (hair is not in braids that take a long time, etc.).
 
My hair is officially 25 inches!

It felt like I was stuck at 22 inches forever! But that was probably because I measured every wash day :look: Then last week I suddenly felt like my hair got longer. Obviously it didn't grow over night but I was getting frustrated and lazy with my hair. I felt like it was everywhere and it was taking me forever to do.

I'll stretch and post a quick pic wash day. I think I'm still WL/HL. We'll see Thursday.

Yay!
 
I will cowash and deep condition tonight. My twistout need water every few days to avoid too much moisture loss.

I will M&S and retwist. I'll use SM CES and JBCO for that.

I need to detangle but I don't want any extra manipulation. Finger detangling is not for me. I might do four sections under water and keep it pushing. Got some cheap Garnier conditioner with crazy slip that should help the process.

The things we for our hair.....

I called myself making a high protein smoothie. I usually make yummy ones but the first version of this was a complete fail. Golden kiwi and stale fish (from my apparently old, stale super EFA oil)......bleech. Was able to add in some frozen fruit to save it but yeah...
 
I think I'm going to attempt a 6 month relaxer stretch. I ended my last one at 4 months but I had ragged ends all of last year and I think that's where most of my breakage was coming from. This last relaxer left my hair stronger than any other relaxer I've used in my life (ORS No Lye) so I'll just monitor my hair and see if I can make it.

How much was it at Marhall's?

14.99 for 60 ml btl

There are other brands but I think I'm going to only get the Japanese, not the Chinese (it supposedly has a smell). Piping Rock sells it for 6.99 in their brand but it's the Chinese one "Sinensis" (if not mistaken, that refers to China). I did see some 120 ml bottles online and another brand of it but those people wanted your blood...FB PM, address, phone number, everything just to buy it.
 
As much as this is going to hurt me, I'm going through all my hair products later today and am going to throw out anything I haven't used in a year. Ouch!!! Also, I'm going to buy a sulfate-free shampoo and some Aphogee. Lorraine Massey convinced me to try curly again. Oy vey...I'm just not happy with my hair except for henna color, hot oil treatments, Tsubaki oil for scalp and flaking and Giovanni conditioner. Maybe my problems start in the shampoo bowl...sulfates. Winter hates me. Sigh.

So instead of my monthly full head henna that I've done for the last 3 or 4 months, I'm going to do a treatment with Babyface Pure Protein mixed into Keracare humecto. I usually DC with Shea moisture but I don't wanna use my SM twice on the same washday.

Unless they've gone bad you might want to donate them to a women's shelter if there's one near you.
 
I think I want to go back to using Oyin Handmade products. I don't remember why I stopped other than I hate ordering stuff online. The bottles at Target aren't big enough and I miss my honey hemp conditioner so I'll probably be making an online order.
 
Thank goodness we got this situation sorted out with our old braider. It's been on my mind but I've been busy job searching. I'm getting my hair braided on Saturday in my usual style. (Thank God!) Now if I can track down these new shampoos/conditioners I want to try out.
 
I really enjoyed wash day yesterday...So much that I want to do it all over again today :look: But I'm not. I'll probably retwist my hair because I don't like the way my wig felt today.
 
I'm gonna straighten either tonight or tomorrow. Did a protein/moisture DC overnight the other night and my hair feels harder than usual. I guess it did the trick and I'll be ready for the heat.

Right now DCing with an oldie but goodie staple: EVOO+honey+salt in Queen Helene Cholesterol conditioner. Feels good to return to what I know. The only thing I'm doing differently is dry DCing before washing. I feel like I'm returning to having a regular regi again. Consistency is one of the keys to retention for me.

Idk if it's a glitch or what but I'm on browsing on hattache and there's this new brand called beunique. The deep conditioner is $46 for 10oz. All the products are more than $30 and 8-10oz


They lost their damn minds...

Shoot, I was thinking of trying the Deva Curl trio and it was going to cost 150.00 x3 people in this house. I went to Trader Joe's instead lol.
 
every single time i massage my scalp with growth oils or what not..i end up with a sore scalp a couple of days later.(especially in the one spot) i was massaging my scalp and i was in tears...i wanted to beat my own self up. it doesn't matter what oil i use. castor oil was the worse though
 
I tried an experiment this wash day. After shampooing with KC 1st Lather I used DC on one half and MSM dissolved in hot water on the other half. Come time to redo each braid, there was NO DIFFERENCE in the feel of my hair, both sides equally soft, BUT the MSM side felt much better after applying moisturizer, it absorbed really nicely, whereas the moisturizer seemed to 'sit' on my hair on the conditioned side. It would be amazing if this was a new discovery - that 1kg bag of MSM powder isn't going to get any smaller tasting the way it does, man that stuff tastes like SHITE!
