Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I love my hair straight, but I have been loving my twist outs lately.

I've really been enjoying my curly hair this last month. I will surely be keeping it curly this summer. Moisturizing and sealing using the LOC method is my joint! Making the decision to go back to my newly natural routine from four years ago has been a good choice so far.

I will be twisting nightly and washing once weekly.
 
I'm getting tired of serial protective styling. Mid-big twists in a bun have been my go to forever, but I'm noticing I get increasing amounts of breakage up to wash day and then on wash day it all stops (after protein and DC).

I'm thinking I'm going to switch my PS up to something that can come down more often. I think I need wash days once a week. :(
 
I really don't know what to do with my hair. I'm sitting here in my twisty turban looking at the pics in the protective styles and everyday hair thread.

I need help!

I was considering relaxing again myself. I thought about it long and hard and determined that I prefer my hair curly but I was struggling with detangling. Have you thought about the third option of Chi smoothing or some other type of straightening system? I settled on Chi because I believe it does minimal if any damage to the hair. Relaxer is off the table for me.

No I haven't. I've been relaxed before and my routine was much quicker and easier. Plus I retained more length and never in my life of being relaxed had to deal with trimming /cutting my hair so often.

Do those vitamins actually work? I never know whether to believe the blogger/vloggers or not.

I was on them for over a year and I noticed increased thickness and perhaps increased growth rate, especially over the first two months. I stopped taking them last year. I've got 2 bottles left that I plan to take in the not too distant future.
 
It's times for me to hide my hair. I haven't been happy with my styles the past 2 wash days which is leading to excessive manupulation which is never good.
 
-There are some days when I feel that my bun is the perfect size and shape...today was not one of those days :mad: I feel like my bun hardly ever looks good/big enough when I wear it low.
-I just discovered what the inversion method is and am going to try it this week.
 
Always a risk when getting your hair straightened...

Sigh...

At least the damage isn't too bad... But it's time to go back in the Olaplex thread!
 
Even though I don't like the way my braids look in the back, I'm going to try to leave them in until next weekend. Seriously considering PSing until the end of the year.
 
I love how neat my hair looks in this bun. I love the initial look of twists, but the eventual frizz always annoys me. I'm going to test how working out affects my style for the rest of the week and if it holds up then I'm gonna have to figure out roller-setting and bun my way to glory.
 
I got frustrated and trimmed tonight instead of this weekend.

Used my old fashioned method of trimming my twists. I really didn't want to blow my hair out to trim it.

My mom is going to go through it this weekend and clean up any areas that I may have missed. They already feel better though.

I'll be using the LOC method from here on out to preserve my ends while I'm on my manetabolism journey.
