Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[beingofserenity]

Got off the juice, gotta get back on it.

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.

Where did you order it from?

What is wrong with me!!!

I had APL hair and my stylist (purposely?) cut my hair to CL in 2014. I decided to transition to Natural and cut my relaxed ends in December 2015.

Now, here I am fully natural and all I want to do is perm my hair bone straight, so I can let it SWAAANNNNGGGGGGG!!

But I want to still keep my curls.

UGH!!!!!!

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

I was wondering the same thing. They are smaller sizes. The curly magic is 12oz instead of 18oz

Where is my blasted Soultanicals parcel?

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.

I was texlaxed previously. I had the same problem with SSKs even when texlaxed. I would leave the relaxer on my roots and ends because it took a little longer to processed. (My shaft would processed quickly)........weird?

but I'm going to texlax my hair. My hair doesn't like the bone straight relaxer and I hate dealing with y natural texture.

I wish my hair would just obey me.

Umm, my days of sectioning my hair in 4 to detangle or moisturize are over. From now on, I have to section off my crown and manage it separately. This is working so much better for me. And being that it's so fragile in that area, i will finger detangle that area only.

Oh definitely! I picked up curly magic and CR curl maker, I'm leaning towards the curly magic especially because of the price.

Wow, Prince!

I'm so stunned.

I was trying to avoid washing my hair until next week but I have a small area of my scalp that's irritated. I'm going to put a little witch hazel on a qtip and apply it to that area for a few minutes then apply a little bit of coconut oil before bed. If it doesn't feel better in the morning I'll wash. I need to get some tea tree oil.

Wow, Prince!

I'm so stunned.

As a member of the class of 1958, I was in shock and in tears. 57 is too young to die! His passing truly gave me pause.

The henna tea mist described by Curly Proverbz on youtube does wonders for making my hair look fuller.

Lol, so.. how are you going to tell me my hair isn't a washngo. My curls are the size of coffee stirrers. Fully defined... just small and slinky in nature. Do you really think I sat down and twisted my hair this small?

Why are so many people amazed by type 4a/b curls in its natural state???

 

[KinksAndInk]

I need to get back to my weekly protein treatments. I also need to up my water and internal protein intake. I saw too many short broken hairs tonight. Way too many.

I got this comment the other week. These folks think my hair is a teeny weeny twist-out or some kind of magic lol.

Yes! I think it's because the poster children for "curls" are the 3's. People seriously think I've done something to make my hair curl like this!!

my hair has been thriving...i am so happy...i finally...yes finally have all the right productsssss....praise di lawddd everyone has been like wow your hair looks nice who did it and i say me!!! lolol

and also i realize my lack of detangling is the reason why my hair was looking wrecked and etc---i am shocked to say for some reason i wouldn't detangle before washing at home and as we know that is a recipe for disaster and i see why my hair was so knotted and hard to manage...duhhhhh

anyhooo i figured out how to keep the hair on my head and that is with great products and good finger detangling..my hair grows like a weed and it is thick but i would always have some sorta set-back so finally i was the main culprit...also the fine teeth comb that hairdressers use is a no for my thick hair...anyhoo i just had to say an amen for my hair journey with myself lol

also the shampoo brush/comb thingy is a god send...the scalp needs to be free of gunk so its a must for a healthy scalp to grow hair

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

Yay, I finally took my Senegalese twists out. But I still have house stuff and school stuff to do. I don't know how close wash day is...

This bun life is so easy and cute. Especially with this banana clip. I'm doing my best to work with the gel I use everyday so that it doesn't damage my hair. Here's to hoping my attempt at a rollerset works out tonight so I can be a long-term bun person.

 

[Smiley79]

Note to self: remember to inspect/trim/file my nails before I start wash day. Smh

UGH!!!!!!

Girl @movingforward, I know this feeling all too well. One time I thought about relaxing my hair bone straight again instead of mildly texlaxing, and let me tell you I thought I would pass out from palpitations. I know for sure I love my curly texture but I also know, I could really enjoy some straight hair without the fear of reverting. What to do?

I get this constantly myself. Shocking that people can't accept that a few of us just like kinks....a lot! And what's better is that it looks awesome on us.

Lol!

I texlaxed today. But the thought of straighten my hair did cross my mind. Lol!

I know I would kick myself if I lose my curls.

 

[curlyTisME]

Now I remember why I hate the hair dryer!

Yeah her channel is great! I'm using her recipe for an egg protein mask right now.

I wish I could find a salon that does curly styles and straight looks as well.

 

[kanozas]

Rather disappointed in Whitney because after all her description of her symptoms, she only says at the end to go seek medical attention and related that to being checked before getting salon services. Her husband is a nurse and she waited 2 years with significant physical symptoms that required her to seek out a doctor eventually? This is where health-nutism goes too far, imo. Hair falling out, suffering severe fatigue? Seek your PCP first. Don't wait 2 freaking years, trying to figure out which cleanse to use. smh

Thinking about getting my hair cut next week, I'm throughly bored with my hair right now.
