Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

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

and I didn't like that she suggested the cleanse for people to try if they're experiencing similar symptoms. I wouldn't have even put the link to that parasite cleanse because ppl should preferably seek a professional before trying to remedy an ongoing problem themselves. those cleanses can be too heavy duty for some ppl.
 
I'm annoyed that my mom volunteered me for an event today that I have zero interest in going to. I don't know these people and really neither does she. My hair looks a mess, hasn't been washed in about a week. It's finals week. I've been up since 5am. Did a health fair and was on my feet for 6+ hours, dealing with over 500 people. I'm tired, I don't feel good and I just want to sleep and study. And did I mention that my hair is a hot tangled, dry mess? Apparently she doesn't understand or care cuz while I tried to nap, hoping she'd go without me, she went and bought me an outfit to wear. Dear God please don't let me be a pushy, disrespectful parent. Now I'm getting a headache cuz I'm so mad with her. She better be ready to see my annoyed face all night and she better not expect me to be cheerful and talkative. I'd do anything for my mom but I swear she oversteps her boundaries...A LOT.

Does anyone else find that coconut oil kind of straightens your hair texture, making it a little more sleek and easy to comb through?

Yes coconut oil does seem to straighten my curls out a bit and makes my hair sleeker, until I wash it out. Because of that, I don't use as much coconut oil on the curls in the front section of my hair since those curls are a lot looser than the curls in the other sections of my hair.
 
Yesterday I stopped by the 7/11 to grab some chapstick. I notice some random dude following me around the store, so I keep my head low and hurry to the register to pay. Before I can make it out the store he approaches me and says..."please tell me all that hair is your own". I politely say yes and he hits me with a "your hair is so beautiful". Made my day....and here I was thinking he was trying to spit game. Thanks lil fella.

Lulu had 'em going crazy lol I bet he was following you to see if he could spot any noticible tracks. My hair wants to be your hair when it grows up..er, down. Now if I could stop being so lazy...

I have never cared much for the oil, but kept trying to use it. I think I prefer it ln dry already moisturized hair.

Actually coconut oil only makes my curls more manageable while I'm using it and after that, it simply goes back to it's normal texture once dried.
 
I guess I need to accept the fact that all I can do with my hair at this point is a puff. Twist outs don't look right and I want a little more length before I start wearing my hair in an afro. Sigh.

I didn't realize how insane my shrinkage is. My hair is SL stretched.....not even close when my hair is curly. Sheesh.

I do need to lean more on the side of moisture. My hair felt its most moisturized when I did 1 wash+ DC and 1 co-wash during the week. I may stick with that for the summer.
 
So, I've been doing way too much to my hair. And my hair has been breaking a lot lately. I need to slow it all the way down. I was washing/cowashing my hair whenever I felt like it. I am switching to one wash per week.

I was styling my hair daily, ripping through it with combs/brushes. I am going to style and set my hair for the week on Sundays.

I was attempting to wear comb coils, wash n'goes...which sometimes looked pretty good, but they would dry out (due to all the gel), which made me feel the need to wash so often, or they stopped looking good (in my opinion), which also caused me to wash often.

So...for the forseeable future, I am washing once a week with a diluted shampoo, conditioning with mizani kerafuse (protein) and hydrafuse (moisture) (I hope I like these), air drying in braids (to cut down on heat) and maybe lightly blow drying (to completely stretch out hair), then putting hair in a bun.

I was considering stretching to two weeks to manipulate it even less, but I think my hair needs the frequent conditioning right now, plus, realistically I'm not going to go that long.

I will keep this up, washing and styling and deep conditioning once a week at least until my sister's wedding (June 11th). I don't know what I am doing with my hair for her wedding.

I also want to incorporate coconut oil because I noticed it makes my hair way easier to detangle. Maybe I can do a prepoo or mix it with my deep conditioner. Or maybe I can just apply to hair throughout the week.

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???

That is my hair and I can't do a wash and go to save my soul! I end up with a wash and fro. Help!

I know that my mom can't be your mom but I sure sounds like it.
 
I reeeaally did not want to cleanse/condition/style yesterday. I waited until after 6 PM. But after I saw my sections curling up after my KCKT/KCCC application, I was glad I did.

Loving these day1 curls.
