Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I now consider 8 oz conditioners to be travel size. I can get 1.25 (1 full use and maybe a quarter of my head for another session) uses out of 8 oz. I know I'm a bit heavy handed, but my goodness. I gotta stick to conditioner bases.


ETA: it probably doesn't help that I apply relaxer style.

Trying to decide if I'm wearing my own hair or my wig to class tomorrow. Leaning towards the wig just because it's still cold out and we're not allowed to wear hats in lab. Plus I want to see if any more of the puffiness from my failed roller set will go away. I'll probably wear my hair in a ponytail to work this weekend.
 
I randomly started doing some Senegalese Twists with some Marley hair I've been holding on to. I think my hair and scalp actually missed being in a "style" as funny as it sounds. Lately I've just been wearing two big cornrows/flat-twists.
 
I'll do a chunky twist out tonight for tomorrow. My appt is tomorrow at 6:30. Hallelujah! Wash deep condition blowout and possible dusting. I'm torn between perm rods or a sleek press.
 
I randomly found a 16.5 inch hair (I measure sheds occasionally). I remember finding one at 12 inches this time last year and being so excited. If I can keep that retention up, I should hit waist next year. Soon I'll have that 20 inch kinky straight growing out of my scalp. :kiss3:
 
Need to figure out what to use to moisturize my ends while my hair is straight. And I wonder how effective my bamboo tea would remain if I brewed a pitcher to drink over the course of a few days. I'm more of an iced tea drinker and this hot tea every day is wearing on my last nerve.
 
Realized I can't stand gels that leave my hair hard even if I can rock a wash n go for 3-4 days.
Grabbed my Sarenzo black soap facial wash and used it on my hair. Soft, clean tangle free hair!!
 
Rescheduled my appointment for next week since I'm tired and want to go straight home from work and relax.

It won't make a difference, you'll get the same benefits... If you prefer to brew a big batch and make it into iced tea go for it.
 
I really need that lcl dryer...and sapote oil. I said I wasn't buying anything else for awhile though.
 
I want to try rollersetting after these braids, but I don't think the softhood dryer attachment was made for it... and I'm too poor for a hard top.
 
I've been experiencing extra hair loss from unnecessary manipulation. Back to my consistent every two weeks salon visit routine.
 
I want my own hair mini box braided, I just don't want to sit for it

Hmm, I guess I'll plan my next crochet install instead.

I will also have a giveaway on my hair products before it's released so you will try it before it's released
 
My hair feels fabulous .
yesterday I shampooed twice (used myhoneychild Scalp cleanser DC with CD black vanilla and moisturised with marguerites magic , hair mimosa and a bit of miss Jessie's baby buttercream on my edges . Woke up with great ,soft hair :love4:
 
Want to try garlic infused EVCO as pre-poo on wednesday....i'm in shed-city!

How's your iron levels? I lost at least a third of my hair due to anaemia. Also a green tea scalp rinse, and odourless garlic capsules both swallowed AND applied directly to the scalp. We're gonna nip this in the bud for you!
 
I'm really excited about my hair journey despite my massive recent setback. It seems like everything I've learned about my hair has only happened in the last 3-4 months, since I was diagnosed, even though the HHJ started in 2012. Literally my regi, what my hair likes/dislikes, protein types + frequency, porosity is normal, y'all :D But it only came about due to ill health. Somebody works in mysterious ways lol.

And writing this has just made me realise how lucky I am to have any hair on my head, actually. If I hadn't been on this journey, or had fallen ill before now I think there's a very good chance I would be bald, as in alopecia not as in ratchety-snatched. I feel blessed. x
