Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I'm attempting my first crochet install. The braiding alone took two hours and now it's 2AM and time for bed, which means I'd better do well with the install tomorrow because I won't have time to take it out before work.
 
Got a bad hair cut. My hair hasn't been this short since 2008. Went straight from the salon to get braids. Lawd! I went to the braid place sight unseen, no research. But the lady turned out to be nice. Started at 4. Finished by 9. And the braids don't hurt! She did a great job.

Now on the hunt for growth aids. What's everyone using in 2016?
 
I really want some individual tree braids but I hate paying $200 plus the cost of hair. Crochet is way cheaper and last just as long.
 
I went to a number of stores in search of The Mane Choice products while on vacation. Sadly, I will STILL need to place an order online as not one store had the full line of products.
 
I already see that I'm a lazy natural who does wash and go's and calls it a day. Life is easier this way.

I'm itching to try some new DCs but I need to use up the ones I have already.

Before I started this no-buy for 3 months I felt like I was battling this too. I probably will be after the no-buy is over. Love quick, in the shower routine but also love buying deep conditioners. Just sad :lol:
 
Going out of town this weekend and I know I don't want to wear my hair out in this heat. Plan on washing and conditioning my hair at my moms house tonight and then getting her to braid it up
 
Repolarizacion capilar casera works!!! Just don't do it until you hear it sizzling...that is not good.

 
Sometimes I feel like protective braid styles are more work than my loose hair. I keep saying I'm going to take my hair down but I'm just too lazy. On the other hand, my homemade braid spray has been working very nicely with moisturizing my hair. And I've gained about half an inch in new growth in the past 2 weeks.
 
People that give hair tips they claim are the "key" to healthy long hair when they themselves don't even follow them. It's so stupid. Also the ones that did something totally different during their journey to their goal then say what they've been doing for approximately 1 week to their hair is what everybody should do to get hair like them. Please drink bleach. I feel so bad for some black girls that want long hair but blindly follow someone's regimen that may or may not actually be their regimen in the first place.


"You HAVE to protective style or you'll never retain length" *wears twist outs everyday retwisting every night* *wears 2 protective style entire journey and sees 2 cms of growth* IT HELPED ME REACH HIP LENGTH HAIR!!!

I've been wearing silk scarves lately and dh is really feeling it. Today he walked in after work and he was like "Ooh I like this one", but it wasn't a scarf... I was wearing a grocery bag on my head, because I'm doing a red rinse :lachen:

I got grocery bag swag:happydance:

Men are like children. They don't want that expensive toy you just spent a bunch of money on - they want to play with the box it came in :lachen:
