Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I can make my curls pretty, but they just don't look good on my head. They USED to. I'm thinking perhaps I'm just at an awkward length. Considering giving up wearing my hair down and just wearing french braids and buns for a while.

I tried going to JCPenney and getting a better cut. The cut helped a bit, but still not attractive. I'm afraid I'll get macheted if I try for another cut.
 
Sometimes I'm under the impression that my natural hair is against me. Like I'm losing the battle. Then I feel bad, like I'm a traitor for wanting to put a little chemical on it. FML!!

Haha well I'm totally serious! When I saw it I was saying, "Oooh I have to compliment her on it!!" :lachen: I haven't been home lately so I haven't been able to sit down on LHCF and post. Really though, your hair looks really nice, Nix08! :grin:
 
Lost my grandmother today. Trying to make myself feel better so, I bought some flexi8s. Hey, it's not the same but, at least I was able to focus on something other than sadness.

Also, I just combed my hair out after doing an oil rinse a couple nights ago (or was it last night. brain fart. Can't remember). My hair feels so thick now that I let it completely airdry. And I think even without my roots being flat ironed, my hair finally looks and feels long to me. I'm happy about that.

Oh, and it's my daughter's 11th birthday today too (7/4/2000). So, I really had to try hard not to mope around today. Now that she's in bed, I'm starting to feel the gravity of our loss. Ah well. R.I.P. Grandma. Keeping my chin up.

Sorry NJoy for your loss.
 
Cowashed last night with Avalon Organics (Lavendar)!! I think I've found a staple co wash condish:yep:

Six 2-strand twists, bantu'd on dry hair gives me the wave/curl pattern that I like (especially after they have dropped a bit)....looks like I've found a staple style:yep:

I'd say it was a successful day today:grin:
 
I must be losing my mind.

Ever since I got my ends dusted/trimmed and a fresh relaxer, I haven't tied my hair up for bed or anything smh

I'm going to get flexirods today and do a full head set. I wonder how many I would need :nono:
 
Sorry for your loss, @NJoy. I know how you feel. I lost my grandma in January of 2007, and not a day goes by that I don't miss her presence, or being able to call her and hear her words of wisdom. Sending you hugs in your time of loss and grief. Your grandmother is dancing with angels today!
 
soooo just received my aloe vera juice.

i gave it a little taste (though, my plan isnt really to drink it much)...ugggggh horrible! if i drink any of it, i'll have to mix it with something.

since i bought a lot of it, i may drink it every once in a while.

my real intention was to try it on my hair for detangling purposes.
 
after sewing 4 tracks i give up. this is way to time consuming. i will just see how i can figure out straightening my hair in this heat.
 
I will be making a July hair regimen schedule to use up products. I'm kind of excited to be making a schedule. I always fall in the habit of using Kenra Moisturizing Conditioner or Hairveda SitriNillah but my stash consists of other DC items that I must try out.
 
Just put mini twists in on Saturday and am bored with it. This is one reason why I never PS. I can never keep them in long enough. I like my hair to be 'out'. Maybe I'll take em out tonight.
