Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

i'm throwing these wigs in the garbage. i would rather rock a scarf or a hat, if i am being lazy, or want to keep my hands out of my hair.
 
I'm still MAD that my hair is paper thin while my sister and daugters hair continue to thrive using MY LHCF knowledge!!! Hmmph!
 
Two pumps of Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum, a hand rub, and oiling the ends of EACH curl individually. I'm done my hair for the day :grin:

I'm loving this style so much right now. So easy to maintain, and it gets cuter by the day :reddancer:
 
I love to daydream about all the things I will be able to do with my hair once I make my goal length (MBL). Wear twists and twistouts and still have a decent amt of length. My straight hair ponytail will be so long. And I know it will be super cute in a banana clip.

One and a half years is a long time from now tho. So, right now just focusing on APL, which is only a few months away.
 
Hope you ladies are having a great day! Today the dh and I got up and took our motorcycles out for a morning ride before it gets too scorching hot. Now, it's time to shower and grab lunch. We're thinking pizza. Tonight we'll watch a movie (at home) and I'll wash my hair. Was hoping to have my Hairveda today so I can DC with that. I guess I'll use Kenra and work on some of the new goodies post TU, which is Wed! Yay. I can't wait!
 
Under the dryer now:) I cant wait until my rollerset is dry so I can use my new splitender:) and braid up my hair:)
 
My dandruff is getting out of hand, my hair in the back is fine but in the front its just everywhere. I was told to give head and shoulders a try, because its the best stuff to buy in stores. I guess I need to look their products up then.

Maybe you can try doing acv rinses. It worked to help me get rid of serious dandruff. I don't know if it's proven, though, so I'd probably only use it if I had it on hand.

Okay I didn't know ACV rinses worked for dandruff too, I brought some because I can never fully get products I use out of my hair. What is your wash and condition routine?
 
Everytime I get my hair straightened, I end up wearing it up the majority of the time because I'm paranoid that I will mess it up...
 
Stiiiiiiiiill haven't washed my hair today. Went to the SPCA to look into getting puppy #2 and totally haven't had time for it.

I used to do acv rinses before conditioning. It's easy to use a sink (or basin, for accessibility) and put a small amount of acv to water (about a teaspoon per cup of water). Then I rinsed it out in about 20 minutes or after massaging my scalp - not because of absorption but because my scalp itched :look:

Then I use a reg. conditioner and cowash.

There is probably a better way to go about this but I am still a relative newbie :lol:
 
Today I pulled out unused prods and took a chance at returning them to Target and score! $30 gift card given for the returned items. I will be returning the Victoria Secret conditioners (found my receipt - yay). I have some cheapie conditioners remaining but they will be used on dh. No, he doesn't have long hair. He has a traditional low cut but he allows me to be his stylist so....I'll save those prods for him. :grin:
 
thumbs way up to aloe vera juice detangling!

i mixed it with some cheapo vo5 conditioner, covered it up with a plastic cap while i showered and it pretty much melted through most of my tangles. me likey!
 
Good Day ladies!

I was trying to avoid making a new thread altogether especially since my requests may be you all referring me to other links/threads, so I figured this thread was high traffic enough...and random enough to ask... Does anyone know of any valuable threads about product recipes? I have 4a with some possible 3 in the crown and I have a lot of stuff to work with. Here is a list of my stash

Aloe Vera Juice
Apple Cider Vinegar
Castor Oil
Coconut Oil
Glycerin
Jojoba Oil
Olive Oil
Peppermint Oil
Rosemary Oil
Shea Butter

I really want to make a detangler and a daily moisturizer. To find the perfect moisturizer to use on my hair daily would be like my dream come true. I just have such dry and crispy ends. I think after reading Sistaslick's 101 Thread for like the 5th time I may be struggling with porosity issues. I have bad SSKs and splits and plan to get a hefty trim to give my hair better appearance in styles. I have grown to bottom of my neck when stretched soaking wet since my official BC in early '09, but my growth ain't squat when it's all shabby and hard to manage. Any help is great, even the little links. I just hate the search function when I am not really sure of where to start. If you have any techniques for the products I listed above, do tell. I can try them on my hair.
I attached two pics. The one w/ my daughter is about 5 months old and the other of me today. I look rough, excuse me, but notice how I have that high top? It's like my hair is texlaxed there or something, the curl pattern is just wavy and loose. That would be fine it if were everywhere, but my Afro always looks like a cone,lol! Oh and I need my brows waxed. Yikes!

Y can't I ever allow my hair to fully dry when I twist it or braid it after washing......there is no such thing as air drying for me, b/c even overnight my hair is still wet!.....I usually just take them down blow dry on cool air and slap in a ponytail.....ohhhh how I wish I could get a banging braid/twist out like u ladies, but alas....I just came to the realization it will never happen!......:nono:
 
I love the way the steamer feels and how my how is soft when I'm done steaming. :lick: Too bad this level of softness doesn't remain after rinsing out the DC. My hair remains soft but not fresh from under the steamer soft. :look:

youwillrise - I never had much luck with avj.

rririla - your hair is gorgeous!

PlatinumBronze - feel better!
 
i'm really trying to get the energy to go out tonight with dh. my hair is still damp in the back. i guess i need to sit under a dry for a minute. hopefully we can get out of here by 9:30pm. we haven't been out on a date in a year or two?
 
Prepooed with SE Mega Moisture conditioner,shampooed with SheaMoisture Black Soap poo and dcing with a mix of conditioners and oils..hope my hair will be moist for the week..
 
test has been completed. I do not need a leave-in that contains protein on the week I use my pure and basic reconstructer.

Tomorrow is caruso hair roller day. I'm not excited about the process but I will be happy to have the chance to wear my hair out.
 
I use glycerin, water, & aloe Vera juice mixed as a moisturizing spritz...Shea butter, oils, and glycerin can be whipped together for a nice hair butter.

If this rod set doesn't last me as long as I want it too, it's safe to say it's cause I can't keep my hands out my hair :nono:

Sitting in traffic today, I was just separating curls :lol:
