Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

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.

Curlybeauty thank you! I've been working with flexirods and bought some magnetic rollers on Wednesday. I'll stick with flexirods for a little while longer lol. I spent 1 hour and a half trying to set with those stupid roller and it still came out a HAM!

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

Myjourney2009 It's amazing how things work so differently for people....they work so well for me:yep: The reason I started using them though was because I was afraid of the product dripping on my back would give me back acne or something:perplexed Perhaps a little vain:ohwell:
 
Looks like I'm falling in love:love: with my air dried hair...when I last flat ironed it was just too ...flat:nono: Anyway these days I'm loving my hair:grin:
 
Well my plan was to curlformer set my hair UNTIL I got my splitender in the mail yesterday:) I guess my hubby heard me talking about it alittle too much :) Now my plan is to rollerset on 2in rollers so my hair can be straight enough to use the splitender:) I am so excited.
 
Yea I just made some foaming leave in for my rollerset this weekend. Why am I so freakin excited to try out a new toy:)
 
Not loving my hair at the moment, but that's probably b/c I hide it all the time. I would love to wear my hair out, but after getting such negative comments at work...why bother until it's a bit longer? I wear it out on the weekends and get nothing but compliments, but close minded people here make me rethink wearing it out.
 
It is a rainy day in Tampa today. So, I did not take out my coolio braids. Instead I'm donning a Farrah Fawcett type feathered wig. I think its cute, but whever I wear it, I feel it looks wiggy, so I don't wear it very often. For whatever reason, I only feel truly comfortable in my short ear length wigs. (this one is about shoulder length.)

I guess I will be wearing my fierce *crosses fingers* braidout tomorrow.
 
Hmmm, I'm gonna try brittanynic16's direct heat Deep conditioning method, see if I can cut my DC time in half . Even without the hooded dryer this 1hr thing is starting to work my nerves :ohwell:
 
I need another way to tie my hair up with the rods in. This bonnet is cool, but it's tearing my nape up smh...

Still going to try lightly oiling my ends daily to keep the ends from getting snaggy and such for the next week of two.

I'm still trying to figure out how i'm going to detangle this set and wash it out :spinning:
 
I think the best thing I can do for my hair is to stop thinking about it and to stop messing with it. As long as I'm careful about putting too much tension on my strands and baby my ends, I will reach my goals.

Easier said than done...

NikkiQ hey pretty lady. Keep your head up:) I got nothing but negative comments at work when my hair was short but a year later and my hair was longer than those naysayers:grin: I just whip my hair:look: hahahahaha suckas:lachen:
 
my hair is still soft (day 5). now i just gotta find the right shampoo and dc. i wonder if shampoo bars are moisturizing (not cause stripping) i tried a shampoo bar once and i didn't care for it too much.
 
wash day has changed from sunday to friday. My first time washing my hair myself since the cut :) excited

I want to put in these twists to set so I can wear a twist out..

Hair is def on lts last legs today.. wish I had a headband..

:lol: yeah I can't wait for those days to come. I might try to braid it down for now and keep that going under the wigs for now and then at the end of the year, shut them all up by doing a bad a** wash n go.

I'm with you there. My hair seems to love DCing. When I skimp on it, I can instantly tell; it's not as soft and manageable.
 
Here lately I've been feeling like getting a good trim up on my hair. It's been a while since I've had a good trim. I don't want to trim all progress but I also am tired of the varying ends. I want an even hemline which looks so much healthier. I go for my TU next week so I must make a decision before then.
