Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

@AbsyBlvd After my absolute failure with KC Knot Today (sat on my hair and made it sticky) but maybe I need to go take a look at that custard.... :lachen:

But it's crazy yall. I had this HUGE tub of EcoStyler and I barely wear my hair out to even use it (or so I thought). Last night I washed my hair and then bunned to keep my hair stretched and used some EcoStyler and SM Curl Enhancing Smoothie to 1.help keep my hair stretched and 2. to 'moisturize' and tell me why my hand damn near scraped the bottom???? I was SHOCKED.

I guess that in itself is a testament to how good EcoStyler has been to me-- just old faithful, always there when I need it and there when I don't lol. All in all I want to say that tub lasted me a good 18 months lmfao

I guess I'll be rebuying!! or maybe I'll go try Wetline :sekret::mwahahafire:
 
Lol @alex114 that Kinky Curly Custard is my truth. Especially diluted:love:.

I was never impressed by EcoStyler. I was never a gel user and I remember when I started transitoning and all I heard was Eco this and Eco that so I bought a small tub of the olive oil one. I still don't know why because I never wore my hair out during my transition but still managed to make my way through that whole tub. It never did anything great for my hair (the little piece of hair I used it on) so I was surprised to notice when I finished it. Needless to say I didn't repurchase.

As much as I want to try Wetline because of the hype, I know my hair only likes natural gels (no plastics, no protein, no glycerin). So far, Kinky Curly is the only one that fits the bill.

My hair is super laid back, not picky at all, and enjoys pretty much everything. I can only tell minor differences in individual products as far as moisture/longevity/curl pop-age/ect. So I would really like to try full product lines to see if I can tell a difference that way and also simplify my routine. I just have to reduce this stash first :cantlook:

Hi guys! I am new to this forum. I big chopped almost 2 yrs then perm it and i recently big chopped again. I am so excited to start this new journey again. Taking it one day at a time and trying different products. I am also an ambassador for a subscription box. They provide natural & handmade hair & skincare products. The good thing is its not monthly its per season so i think you guys should check them out! www.essentialsboxx.com
 
I think I'm going to deep condition today. I usually don't wash and deep condition on the same day, unless I wait for my hair to be about 95% dry. I prefer to deep condition on near dry hair, cuz I've noticed that more product is absorbed and therefore stays on/in my hair when my hair is damp-dry.

When I deep condition wet, it's wayyyy less effective and my hair gets dry sooner in the week.
 
Started back co washing my hair with V05 moisture milks and i'm not sure why I stopped paired with the s curl my hair is loving it

I really hate EVCO but it is an excellent detangler. I lightly spritz my hair with water, apply EVCO, and finger detangle. Sheds and tangles glide right out. Unfortunately I cannot leave it in. I have to shampoo soon after or my hair will end up dry and brittle.

Same here! I had to trash it for the same reason : dry brittle hair. Avocado oil does the trick for me

THIS!!!

I cringe when I look at the ingredients of Wetline. Never looked them up though. But I know for my hair, the more natural ingredients the better. Kinky Curly just works.

What does diluting KCCC do for you?

When Chicoro posted those ingredients, my heart sank a little lol.

Before I started diluting it, my hair would flake with KCCC, take an eternity to dry and feel really sticky. It definitely works better for me diluted- my hair doesn't feel sticky and I never get flakes. It also dries a little quicker (still takes a while).

I had issues with KCKT and KCCC when I started using it. Now I get very little to no flaking, and it never feels sticky.

I saw this on fb earlier and it's so accurate to the way I've been feeling lately as I watch ladies who have been natural for less time than me surpass me and I see woman who transitioned only a short time before me be so far ahead of where I am.

I must remind myself that this is MY journey and MY journey alone. I can not base my progress on the progress of someone else and it does NOT mean I am doing anything wrong. There are different climates, different health, different curl patterns, different genetics, different practices, different levels of activeness, we are DIFFERENT and our journey's will be as such.

I encourage anyone who has and will think this way to think the same. We WILL make our goals in our OWN time and you are not alone :heart3:

Yep. That's why I don't join length challenges. I just take care of my hair the way my hair likes to be taken care of and let the rest happen.
 
I swear I am the worst at removing shed hair; fingers, wide tooth comb, medium comb, doesn't matter. I took crochet braids out but because I didn't remove all the shed strands I have some heavy tangling in some areas...but I just twisted like normal. I'll deal with it before I co-wash in a few days.

I'm recommitting to baggying my ends every couple of days, and I need to resume my vitamin regimen. I'll be in protective styles most of the time through September, with 1 or 2 week breaks in between installs.

I'm so frustrated right now with my hair. I'm seriously thinking about going back to relaxing. I can't even stand the thought of having to wash or style it anymore. I'm trying to go sit my behind down somewhere and just stop thinking about it but ugh! Still contemplating whether or not I want to do it. I think some form of guilt is holding me back and I don't know whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.

My cousin is giving it another year before even considering a relaxer. I told her she doesn't have to feel bad about that at all.
 
Yesterday was the first time I trimmed and actually noticed the lost length! *Sigh*. My is thicker at the ends now which is always good. I was grazing bra strap though and now I'm not! Hopefully it will grow back fast.
 
Why did DD take all of my hair butter when I told her to take some? It was a huge container. I am soooooooooooo irritated. Now I have to make a new batch. That batch better last her the rest of the year.
