Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Cattypus1]

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 had the same unraveling problem until I started using a styling foam for my twists. Nairobi is what I use and that stuff is magic It leaves my hair shiny and soft. No crunch. Love this stuff.

Should I get a trim before my sew in or wait till after I take my sew in down (2 months)?

I would say before, so the splits don't go further up your hair shaft.

I'm super excited for my new supplement regimen. I can't wait to see the effect it has on my skin and hair

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

Tried it yesterday it actually went really well. Took a while but I did it while I had shescentit okra in (has marshmallow root for slip). I'm going to put down the comb completely for a couple weeks. I can feel my hair coiling at the root which hasn't happened since I started combing my hair on a regular.

Boy, I need to take these Twists down but I don't feel like doing my hair. My hair would be so much longer if I wasn't so lazy.

Thinking about placing another NurCreations order...

It's been a huge help for me.

Ready for my protective styling!

I think I want to fully relax my hair with some texture.

I love my curls, but really hate that puffiness.

My inbox just did that weird thing it did before the update when it notified me with an alert but no message was there.

I need to figure out how to tuck my ends in this sockbun so that it's not causing more damage in the long run. I also don't think moving my bun is going to work with the ridiculous amount of lengths I have on my head so I'll switch up with the hair tools I use. Banana clips, satin hair ties and the regular goody ouchless headbands are my tools of choice.

My braid out turned out well; I was pleasantly surprised. I tried to post a pic but it won't load from my iPad. I would love for this to be my go-to summer style but I am not sure about all the manipulation...

I really hate hairexia. I can always feel the exact moment that a length shot starts looking short to me. (My hair is around MBL/BSL+/4 inches from waist). I took a picture and posted it on Facebook to compare to a length check from 4 years ago. People (including white, woke friends) were fawning over how long it looks, but it just looks like 'beginning to be long' to me. Never satisfied.

I'm tired of restocking all the time gimme a liter bottle! Another reason I love oyin.

I wanna try hairveda

I've started watching wave videos on youtube. They take this stuff very seriously! I just watched a twenty minute video about the different types of brushes out there. and then I watched someone passionately and tenderly describe the different types of wave caps and durags and stuff.
And another video of a guy getting super excited over creme of nature argan oil edge control, because it made his waves shiny more defined.
Fascinating.

I really need to learn how to style my hair better. This guy has been trying to take me out for weeks and I keep blowing him off because my hair isn't "done. " I'm bored with twist outs, braid outs, and buns. I'm gonna try a faux hawk this weekend.

My hair feels light and free this morning. I gave it a good co-wash, t-shirt dried, and finished w/KCKT. No gel or oil. This along w/my locsoc as a headband will be my protective style going forward until I can get braids. It just makes no sense to do so much prep and styling only to ruin it when working out (and this is about the only thing my recovering arm muscles will allow).

I'm curious about the edge control one. Link to that video pretty please?

I really want to do a wash n go. I may do one just to scratch the itch. And I want to see how this SM sacha inchi oil gel works. Maybe I'll do one next week.

Now I have to buy Vatika oil because my Nutive Organic Coconut Oil mix with almond that I blended to fluff it up spoiled! I've never had a problem with Vatika. Don't know why this is happening. We're clean. This is the third time. Will just buy it premixed now.

Add a cap full of vit e to keep it from spoiling.

Why does Keracare Overnight Moisturizing Treatment only come in 4 oz? I'd pay for a 16 oz tub.

I used shea butter for the first time in about a year this weekend, and I asked myself why I ever stopped. It makes my hair feel great! I will never abandon you again shea butter.

They actually have their own hair board dedicated to waves. There's a good thread on it somewhere on here.

Why is UFD so cheap on Target????/ Im debating getting two before they up the price

Daily moisturizing and sealing is essential for me.

I've gone back to using wild growth oil. It brings back memories.
