Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[KidneyBean86]

I was at my sister's house this morning to pick up my niece. First off, my niece has 4b/4c ultra thick hair. Why on Earth did I walk in to my sister using a wig brush to try to "get the tangles out." I was so heated. Not only was my tall, 11 year old niece crying her eyes out in the chair but there was hair all over the floor. I immediately snatched the brush out sister's hand and almost punched her in the face. I ended up detangling dear niece hair without fuss with a wide tooth comb. I am still heated about it and how ignorant my sister is about her baby's hair.

She just couldn't understand why you couldn't use a brush to detangle 4b/4c hair.

Was I wrong to step in?

Since we're allowed to be random in here: I love your avatar! I bought the painting from the artist on Etsy. All my house guests compliment it.

Oh my gosh! I also bought this print a couple months ago. I need to get a nice frame so I can display it near my vanity area.

Honeys Handmade just had to go and create a monthly beauty box.

I finally decided to cut my hair, I'm going to get a long bob. Short enough to wear down without it getting in the way, and long enough to do updos. *sorry about the size of the photo*

I am the queen of reviving and old blowout I swear! Back to bouncing and behaving!

The urge to perm my edges is strong, but I will resist and flat iron instead. I wish that I could go back and forth between relaxed and natural.

I know there's supposed to be a few products out there that allow for curly to straight. They can be off-putting though, cuz they're marketed as "texture manageability systems". I think I saw one by African Pride & there's one by Beautiful Textures, I think it's called.

What's your secret?

 

[KinksAndInk]

After I take my crochet braids out I want to reuse the hair for 2 strand twists. But I also want to wear it in a twist out. I love that this hair has options.

I tried coconut milk in my henna, I think I like Greek yogurt even better! Must be the additional protein.

My hairline is fine; stop overreacting.

Wish I had some Oyin hair dew right about now...

Feeling positive. Back on my regular washes and head massage.

Pin curls and my Giovanni olive oil and avocado serum! They never betray me!

Cosign on the pin curls! They can seriously work wonders for an old style.

Wrong??? You HELPED. I just hope at some point you can help her to understand how to handle you niece's hair.

My behavior during all those Memorial weekend sales last week confirmed that I would be perfectly fine being a product junkie for the rest of my life.......... #stayfocused #useUpmyStash #thestruggleisreal

When going out for a shampoo run goes wrong...

Is it okay to be complimented on dirty hair?

I feel like I would have been better off wearing a bonnet. (Because he was trying to sell me something and was probably just being nice. I feel so ashamed.)

I bought the Creme of Nature Argan Oil Co-Wash and Sulfate-Free Shampoo.

But I still mourn for that old school Creme of Nature. I should be over it by now, but I'm not.

I laugh everytime I browse natural products and I see the words "key ingredients" with no full ingredients list following it.

Mini braids update:

So I'm done with 5 sections already. I had 4 large sections and split them in 2 so 8 in total. So basically I've done more than half of my head in only 1 hour & 50 minutes.

Taking a break but when I start back it should only take me about 1 hr & a half to finish. So about 4 hours to complete my whole head. No idea why this used to take me 6-8+ hours & my hair was shorter then :/


Eta: So it took me 3 hours total doing the actual braiding. Prepping before the braiding took about 1 hr 30 min

At these times I'm thankful for having low-medium density hair

I've been under the dryer since 9:00am with twists on perm rods and it's still damp. This is ridiculous.

Really thinking about cutting down to a brush cut. Love the feeling of washing from my head to toes in the summer!!

 

[KidneyBean86]

I have decided that I'm just going to keep my hair in twists for the summer. I get tired of doing my hair sometimes..

 

[Evolving78]

I bought some dove shampoo and conditioner.
It's been raining all day, and my hair didn't poof out on me!

Kinky Curly Curling Custard is my new fave. I like it more than Camille Rose Curl Maker (which I think is on the sticky side).

I finally figured out my hair is a mix of 4a/4b. Ever since February, I've been trying to figure out my hair type.

Really? I'll give that a try next when my Curl Maker is finished.
Do you use it for twist outs?

I use it for wash and go's at the moment. I'm waiting until my hair is longer to try it for twist outs.
