Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Bunnyhaslonghair]

I want my hair to grow to hip length but I'm really feeling this grazing bsl length. I'll be chilling at bsl and i have a feeling i wont be AS pressed about growth once I get there. I'll still be pressed though...lol.

I really need to learn to love protective styles other than my wigs..

 

[KinksAndInk]

Thinking about washing my hair tonight. But I don't know what to do with it afterwards. So I'll just keep moisturizing and heavy sealing my ends until Sunday. I've seen too many ssks over the past few days.

I've been so focused on products that used to make my natural hair great, that I've neglected methods. I've been doing the home-grown steaming lately. My ends are silky smooth, and my hair is retaining moisture again, omg!!!!
Totally forgot that I used to steam like a mad-woman! My hair strands look so plump too. This is why my hair used to lay the way that it used to. I'm gonna start steaming again. I need one of those bonnet heat things.

Also, I've had It's a 10 Silk Express Smoothing Balm for a couple years now. It never worked as a heat protectant for me. I don't like what it did for my hair. As a sealant, wowwww!!! Very impressive! Water based and glycerin is high up on the list. It's like a natural version of the juice. lol.

@JerriBlank
For clarification, when you say "juice," do you mean "Live by the Juice, Die by Juice" type juice (jheri juice)?

I think I'm going to really start massaging my scalp consistently for about 3-5 minutes daily starting today. I need to see if there will be any improvements in the growth and thickness of my hair

Does anyone follow S1MNICITY on YouTube or Instagram?

I almost had a coronary watching one of her length check videos. Another reason why I stopped going to salons.

I don't follow her but.... The multiple passes and long slow passes are hard to watch!

UGH...no temperature gauge...

I got my hair cut into a lob. It looks so much better. I needed to start all over because my ends were in terrible shape. I will be keeping it straight for a while. Hopefully I can retain length from here on out

 

[Smiley79]

I notice that I'm being real extra since I think my hair is cute.

Someone is going to tell me to sit down if I don't do it myself.

^^lollll. Good for you!!!

Yes.
The juice is mostly water and glycerin. This is water based, with glycerin listed next, then a whole bunch of nice ingredients then some not so nice ones. It seals amazingly, and plumps up my hair.I'm seeing moisture levels of yester years.

I know this is silly, but I got my hair straightened today and .... my hair got caught in my seatbelt a few times today.
Dare I say it's getting longer!

Hubby says I'm feeling myself. He definitely notices a difference in my attitude now that I have some hair growing past my shoulders.

I was grazing over the idea of getting my hair washed and straightened this weekend. One natural hair salon quoted me at 100 dollars! That's way too much in my eyes for a simple wash and press.

 

[Saludable84]

My scalp is in flames and idk why. I wish I could wash my hair in the morning and go, but I'm soooo not ready for that life.

How about wet/damp bunning? That's what I do if I wash my hair in the morning.

Definitely too much. Do they charge based on your length or texture?

On length. But, the thing is my hair not even that long.

 

[divachyk]

@Saludable84, how's your scalp feeling?

I'm going to a new salon today for a meet and greet. If I like the stylist, I'll make an appointment for a wash, flat iron and trim/cut --- not big chop, just a good professional cut. Haven't had one in several years.

 

[Blessed&higlyflavoured]

I'm over these braids. But i'm not ready to deal with my hair.

So I'm going to wash and redo the front and see what it's saying

 

[SheWalks]

Think I'm going to challenge myself to strictly finger detangle my hair.

Think I'm going to challenge myself to strictly finger detangle my hair.

Same ..I did it while natural and had almost no breakage ever..I don't know why I wouldn't continue to do it relaxed

 

[InBloom]

Remember the Skala craze? Wonder whatever became of that stuff?

 

[Smiley79]

Think I'm going to challenge myself to strictly finger detangle my hair.

I'd like to incorporate more finger detangling (raking) as well and ween off the comb.

 

[movingforward]

I need to hide my hair. I'm thinking about perming my hair again.

Where can I find good weave?

That seems a bit too much to me. Are you a frequent guest?

 

[Saludable84]

How about wet/damp bunning? That's what I do if I wash my hair in the morning.

Until my hair fully dries, that's what I do, but wet bunning doesn't help my scalp either.

It was just really itchy. Normally I just massage and it will feel better but it was itching to the point of my literally pulling my hair and checking my scalp to see if maybe I just had conditioner residue? It stopped; had me feeling like I massaged my scalp with scotch bonnets

Not a fan of wigs but if I would look this believable, I would consider this one:

silk based closures are our friends ...expensive tho

No, it would have been my first time there.

My stash seems to have exponentially grown to epic proportions. I have to go on a serious no buy for a while. At least I'm set for 3 years or so.....#lifeofapj
