Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

:lol: aww. What I do and I notice a lot of other chicks do is wear my hair in a bun on the top of my head. If I want to get in the water to swim or go jet skiing or something I coat my hair in conditioner and oil and put it in a pony tail. Maybe sometimes loose. And just wash it and style it later if I want to wear it down. On vacation I don't care what I do to my hair. I just make sure I am careful. If I am going somewhere that night after the beach I don't hesitate to wash blow dry(on cool or warm) using tension method and flatiron to cut down on styling time. I have fun and don't worry about it. I'm pretty confident with my my hair care skills :grin:.

A lot of talk about relaxed hair lately. (Of course!) I have no problem with relaxed hair, I just don't see the advantage of it. My hair wasn't straight when it was relaxed... I had to flat iron it if I wanted straight hair.

Sooooo... What's the point?

What are people getting out of relaxed hair? This is not a judgmental question. It's just actually wondering. Right now I'm in a straight hair mood, I guess. But I will hit up the old flat iron to scratch that itch.

For me my hair is much straighter, easier to manage,and less thick than if it was natural. Plus while i can admire natural hair on others it's not a look I want to have on my head nor does it appeal to me.
 
So I've been pondering my visit to the hair salon today...

If you wouldnt just let anyone into your home, then why would you let just anyone give you a perm?

I hope her hair came out okay...but hmmmm.

Yeah, I'm probably going to transition for 3 yrs...and I'm probably gonna rock this same bun style the whole time. Simple works best.

:stop:

You're transitioning?!

Curse these year long stretchers!!! All you guys want to do is cross over to the other side :nono:

#TEAMRELAXED shall miss you :cry4:
 
Yay! I oficially have a swinging ponytail! I never really noticed because I keep my hair up. But I let my pony swing freely while wearing the cutest outfit this morning. 'Nuf said.

On second thought, I have more to say! Long spiraling bang hanging apl, floating past my flirty false eyelashes. You. Can't. Tell. Me. Nothing!!!

I remember saying that I would be in full stank this summer. Well I feel it coming on because I am the shiznit right about nah!
:gorgeous:

Can't tell me a thang. Don't even try. :cool: Yeah, I said it!
 
Dear Hair,

I know you're in one of the first of many awkward stages. I kinda lightweight hate you right now. This lil lopsided afro thing you've been doing lately is NOT the business. I know, I know, you're gonna grow. I hear you. I'm just sayin'. What part of the game is this?
 
I've been having twist envy... I've realized that my hair is the same length as many people on fotki and the like, but it won't hang to the same length - it just shrinks automatically :lol:

Also, I straightened my hair at the request of my mother. And it didn't stay straight for anything. Also, when I straighten my hair, it always looks like a blowout. It doesn't even like being straight :look:
 
And here is the final result pulled apart :grin:

I'm so in :love: with my hair right now :reddancer:

I didn't even see this at first..

But for me, the hair has to be super duper wet..

And a lot of people use lottabody :nono: my hair just doesn't like it. No matter which formula I get, it just isn't for me.

For my hair to stick to the roller and be smooth I HAVE to have a foam wrapping type of setting lotion. And end papers will save your life as well...

I'm loving Paul Mitchell's Foaming Pomade. I really want to try Jane Carter's Wrap and Roll, but I took the empty shelf at the BSS as a sign that I didn't need it and to keep using my pomade. Glad I did...gives me beautiful sets with enough hold and still gives me uber bounciness.

Try flexis :yep: you can put a good amount of hair on the roller and still get a great curl.

This is definitely how I felt last year. And there are so many awkward stages. I've just been trying to go with the flow...

Curlybeauty @ bolded Yeah for like the third time too :lol: Don't phrase it like that I'm not "on the other side" lol I'm not going nazi-natchal :giggle: I'm actually trying to be dun dun dun heat trained...Your flexirod set came out so pretty!!!!
 
:ill: I need a lhcf medic! ... Well... Not really. I did a much needed mini trim. It took me about 25 minutes. Holding this small ball of little curly, swirly pieces of hair... I don't wanna throw it away! :lol: :look:
 
You know you are the ultimate hair dork when receiving the compliment "you should be on YouTube" makes your whole day.

As you should be! It looks gorgeous. That shine... :spinning:
 
cornrowed my hair on dry stretch hair. Kinda looking like Coolio right now, all in the hopes of having a fierce braidout tomorrow.

Debating on whether to sit under the dryer. I just want to have a decent set. My hope is to get two days out of this, but hair doesn't always cooperate when it comes to twistout and braidouts.

I know!! I can't stop staring at the picture :lol:

My hair is naturally dull, so I'm uber proud of myself on this one. I can't wait for it to get older and swell up a bit.

People keep telling me to pull the curls apart more :nono:

I will do that gradually :yep: I need this style to last me some time..
 
This is so sad as I am not a huge fan, but why did I realize July calls for another 3-month update from Kimmaytube, and actually am anxious for it?

Bought another microfiber towel today in an attempt to speed up my air drying time.
Click to expand...

I felt the microfiber towel slowed down my drying time. When I went back to a reg towel my dry time was so much faster.

Yes the microfiber towel decreased frizzing but being relaxed I dont care about that
 
Made the SO do another pull test just to see if there has been any growth. Smh it's only been 3 weeks since the last one. I am a length-check-aholic.

I can feel myself getting closer and closer to APL. I think I'm only like 1.5 inches away. But I swear it is like watching paint dry. Plus I'm only about 2 months into a 5 month no heat stretch, so I can't really tell how long it is for another 3 months.
 
I don't care what ANYBODY says about y'all...You ladies are some of the most supportive e-friends ever. I love LHCF!!!!
 
Tonight I cowashed with WEN and my hair was a matted/tangled mess. My hair hasn't matted/tangled like this since starting my HHJ. BOOOO! :look:
