Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I am wearing my hair in a bun this week because I colored my grays last weekend but I need a hardcore protein treatment right about now. I haven't done one in quite a while so perhaps I will give myself one this coming weekend.

Also I hate SSKs so I'll be wearing my hair braided up under my wigs by next week:yep:.

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 get new posts via email. When I read this I cracked up! But I do feel sorry for newbies. Like me trying every deep conditioner raved about, they'll learn to stop listening to others (so much).
 
I'm getting a bonus next week and decided to get my hair products I've been avoiding because I'm cheap. I plan on purchasing It's a 10 Hair Mask,a Moroccan Oil DC :love: (been wanting to try this one for months!), and some Kerastase if I'm feeling rather rich :lol:

ETA: These will all be purchased at a store with a great return policy obviously. They cost too much to be stashed in a closet because of lackluster results.

You got some good stuff on your list @SuchaLady. The only one I don't have is the It's A 10 Mask. If you get it, let us know how you like it.
 
I'm mad that all these people have tried Mielle's DC and either raved about it or said it was decent didn't mention it stinks. Or maybe it's just me. I like mint smells but this smells like nasty medicine mixed with spearmint lol hope it works though

Now I really have to take these crochet braids out. I just left a bonfire and I smell like smoke. I'm not even going to try to remove the scent.

I just spent over an hour detangling ONE braid. ONE. It got tangled around itself and matted, twisted and I don't even know what else. It was horrible. I thought I was going to have to cut it off. I lost an inch or 2 on that braid but it's much better than the 10 or so inches that I would've lost if I cut it off. After a gallon of water, conditioner and oil, 3 combs, a whole lot of curse words and a few prayers, it finally detangled. I wasn't giving up. No more crochet braids for me. I can't even begin to figure out how that happened. And I refuse to go through it again
 
Focusing on having more creamy leave ins in my inventory since starting Dickey's method. :up:

I'm thinking
3 deeps
3 cowashes
4 creamy leave ins
1 clarifying poo.
3 stylers
3 gels
Random hair oils and moisture creams I'm liking the oil blends with tea tree oil. Cuts the oily/greasiness.
 
I colored my hair with Reshma Henna last night in the dark chocolate shade to hide my gray. Of course, now my greys look orange. I hope they get deeper over the next few days.
 
What was your regime for the crochet braids?

I moisturized every other day or every 2 days. Occasionally used a small amount of CRN almond jai on my scalp. It wasn't the regimen. It was something I did during the install. What it was, I don't know. I treated that braid the same way I did the rest of them and it was the only one that tangled like that.
 
I really need another bottle of my beloved Keracare Jojoba Oil Moisturizer because it really leaves my hair very soft. I have to wait until this 3 month no buy challenge is over first though. In the mean time I'll just use my Dudley's PCA Moisture Retainer.
 
So I am transitioning as of this week lol. I tossed my relaxer on Wed after realizing it's not really benefiting me. I stretch through the cold months and don't even relax till spring and then stop in like Aug or Sept, what is the point? Damaging my hair with chemicals for two seasons for something and it doesn't even really take the curl out or prevent frizz.
I'm seriously done and I may never relax again in this lifetime. Heat damage is more than enough damage.

I don't plan to big chop, no reason to as I can't quite even tell the difference between my relaxed hair and what grows out. The thin ends do piss me off but I had those even with plain heat damage.
 
Was supposedly putting some kinky straight crochets in tonight but I just threw in the towel and unbraided lol, if I actually do go on this beach trip it'd gonna be simple goddess braids/twists for me.

Ooop just got confirmation that we're definitely going away, I'm gonna suck it up and braid/crochet my hair tomorrow, I wanna have beautiful shots on the beach and not to have to worry about my hair.

On another note, I really wanna find out my hair's porosity, my educated guess is high porosity.
