Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I'm only using wen this week. My sis bought me the sample pack for xmas, so I'm going to use it. Realized the other day how well it works.

Also need to be careful about washing all conditioner residue out of my hair. I have noticed that sometimes I still have it stuck to my scalp.
 
I've been slacking on my hair journal. I need to get back to consistently documenting what I use on my hair.

I need OGX to make their dry styling oils in a larger size. My hair is always soft and silky with this stuff.
 
Really want to cut my hair into a low low fade!
Ready for summer and pool time!! Strictly LOCing and no protective styling until school starts back. I miss my kinks :(
 
So I've been good all week and PS'd, but now I REALLY REALLY wanna do a WnG. It's Sunday so it'll be fresh for Monday and I will actually have time on Wednesday to stretch my hair for the rest of the week. Hmmm...
But on the flip, I just conquered breakage from using the wrong products (thankfully not from my beloved WnGs) and I wanted to PS for at least 3 weeks. Hmm...
 
I colored my hair 3.5 weeks ago and I've got about 1/2in-1in of new growth in various areas. The crown is growing slow as molasses as usual. If I can keep this up I'll be at or close the my hip length goal in December. I realllly need to get back to journaling everything I do to my hair. And I'm going to think about protective/low manipulation styles for the summer. I want to retain every centimeter I can.
 
Made an appointment to get my hair braided into a bob. I'll get my hair trimmed before then and reup on my manetabolism.

I'm excited, summer time means braids and low maintenance.
 
I gotta make a decision either to Tex-lax or wear Sengalese twists for the summer.

My ends...even when stretch....still tangles. Which is counter productive to retaining length.

I'm thinking about Tex-laxing I want to wear my hair. gotta make a decision soon.

Does gray hair grow faster than regular-colored hair? Dang.
I wasn't ready for this struggle. :cry3:

It seems like it because you can see the line of demarcation between grey and your natural hair color. Especially if there is a huge color contrast.

The struggle is real y'all. I'm on a grow bender and it's even worse because the grey is back within two weeks around my temple.
 
Now I remember why I gave up on rollersetting: Ponytail rollersets make my scalp SO tender. I have got to just bite the bullet and learn how to do a proper rollerset. And then maybe pick up some vented rollers because 2hrs under a dryer is a steady no.
 
I really wish I could do 2 strand twists and have them look decent. They look too scalpy and my hair is too soft so they start unraveling within minutes no matter what I twist with.
 
I'm finally going into protective style mode. Friday's workout left my arms so 'done' that I couldn't work in sections yesterday. It's going to be 80 degrees today, and I have a headband on to minimize my puff. This week will be my first four-day workout week, and I just won't be able to keep my hair up.

Anywho, my co-worker's single perimeter fat braid is gorgeous. She has to confirm her stylist can give me the braids I want, but I am so freakin' excited at the very thought of not doing my hair for 3-4 weeks...

ok, stupid question. :look:
What's the difference between fine, thick and coarse hair? I've heard coarse and thick being used interchangeably to refer to both texture and density & fine & coarse to refer to texture.

In the hair world, we tend to use it to define the thickness of individual strands of hair. Outside of the hair boards, people use it to describe density as well as texture (especially the term "coarse").

Just a heads up.. I texlaxed after about 4.5 years natural due to my frustration with SSKs. I didn't loosen my ends enough during the process and still had SSKs. I even tried to correct it during the next application to no avail. IF I ever do it again, I'll just go for a Yaki perm texture instead, like prettywitty77 on YT. Hers is just a slightly underprocessed perm which maintains thickness and allows for airdrying. My hair was still so curly that I had to treat it the same way I did my natural hair.

GL w whatever you decide. I think maybe you should get the twist extensions first until you're sure texlaxing is what you want to do.

Love the Denman brush. Just discovered that I can use it as a hairstyling tool.

Why can't you use it on your crown area?

1)My crown is my most tender/sensitive area due to scalp inflammation; that's where my scarring alopecia is. 2) The hair in that area is fragile but it's also more coarse then the rest of my hair, so I choose to treat it more gently so I can retain hair there.
