Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

@Rastafarai

Hey! Was it you that raved about the Simese twists cupuacu butter? Thinking about getting some. You are low porosity correct? What is the consistency like? Looking for something of a thinner consistency not a butter. Thanks!

Hey @AgeinATL :wave:

Yes, that was me and yes I am also low porosity. The consistency is thinner than a butter but not as thin as, say, a leave in. Its more silky but very moisturizing silky. I would say its between the texture of a leave-in and butter. I will also say that I requested she add glycerin and silk peptides to my butter so maybe this is what added to the feel of the product.

I think its definitely with a try, though! If you may want something closer to a leave-in, her other two products with water as the first ingredient are Melonberry Hair Refresher and MILK. Let me know if I can be of any further assistance!

I don't know... I was looking at some of their thread topics/challenges and noticed they are similar and were created at later dates than the ones we have. Also, I see the number of how many registered users they have on some of those sites as compared to here, the amount of traffic, some of the videos they post, etc... it just seems like they do things the same way but may not have as much traffic.

Not sure if i mentioned this already but Washing my hair upside down has been the best thing ever for me. With my hair hanging out of my way, Im able to get my fingers straight into my scalp and i can go to town massaging my poo in.

I detangle upside down. Best thing ever. Quick and easy and takes 5 minutes.

Hmm...I'm going to have to try washing my hair and detangling upside down...it never occurred to me. I feel like it's difficult for me to reach all of my scalp when I'm shampooing so it might be easier if I wash upside down.

After straightening my hair last week, I don't want to straighten my hair again for a WHILE. Every time I've had my hair straight it just seems like after I wash my hair again to wear it curly, it's not completely at the same fullness as it was before I straightened it and it takes a few washes for it to look completely normal again. I guess it could be all the combing I did during the straightening process :crybaby:
 
Okay so now idk how I feel about grease. :look:

Yes my hair stayed slicked for a few days but it was really hard to wash it out of my hair! I shampooed about 2-3 times :nono: There was a greasy feeling left behind.

My shampoo just was not strong enough. I might just save the grease for winter time. :ohwell:

When I used grease, i used Shea Moisture African Black soap shampoo to make sure my scalp and hair were cleansed and reset. As much as i raved about grease last week, I decided to try NaturelleGrow's Honey balm as an alternative to grease but with the same consistency.

Finally starting my crochet braids. Hopefully I can be done in an hour. If I stop taking breaks :look:

I did not plan this properly. Smh. I'm running out of hair. I'll finish in the morning and I'll just move some around. Thankfully I went with pretwisted hair so it should be easy. I also think that my braids were too small...or my head is too big :look: Will definitely get less braids next time.

APB's Not Petroleum is a really good sub for grease. Also she sent it has a product (can't remember the name of it) that seals well and provides shine. If you stick to the more natural products you may not have to worry about build up or using a harsh shampoo to get hair clean. HTH

cool, thanks for sharing those products.
 
I think when I flat iron on Friday I will do it in my roller set sections. I have a lot of hair and need to keep it organized. If I take one roller down, flat iron that section of hair, and then move on to the next roller sized section, I won't miss anything.

I have my flat iron and my flat iron comb for the chase method, but I'm wondering if I also need a boar bristle brush. One swipe chasing the brush and the second swipe chasing the comb.
 
Okay so my no buy officially starts today. Found another MopTop cowash on clearance in Target and that's the last thing I'm buying until either September or November. It depends, I may be getting my hair braided every 2-3 weeks so I won't need anything but shampoo, conditioner & heat protectant since I'll blow dry before getting it braided

I seem to get smoother, better results using a boar bristle brush but I also get more breakage if I am not careful.
I cannot wait to see the results. I am actually excited! :yay:
 
sketch-1464727140770.jpg Bought my first ever wig today! My 16 year old DD came with me and helped me to pick it out. It was only a cheapie and synthetic but hoping it helps me with my transition. Think I'll just wear it weekends when I'm going out and want a break from my usual bun.

Hubby and DS like it too which is always nice.
