Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I wonder why she was so popular. I often look back at the old popular gurus videos and she's one I didn't get.

Before she started dying and heat damaging her hair over and over again she had beautiful, big curls and that was "the popular look" for so long. She definitely wasn't the most knowledgeable about hair, but she was pretty and popular. Once her personal life became public folly and hair information was more easily accessivle, she fell off.

I really wanted to try (buy) some new products but realized that if I used my own products in a different way, I could get the results I wanted. I'm glad my hair looks good but I'm a little disappointed I didn't have a reason to play with new hair goodies.

Was there a thread on Taren Guy's journey to freeform locs? If this was 8 years ago the forum would have blown up.

Why does this name sound so familiar?

I remember her. Wasn't she kinda sloppy? That's not the one with the mysterious child right? Or crazy kid situation?

Yessss. She has two older children that seem to have disappeared. She has a daughter and then she had another son with a married man. That she still hasn't married.

I should have tried a bkt a long time ago. It has made my hair easier to manage without changing my curl pattern. Basically I get soft silky hair with slip, quicker blowouts and stronger ends. Uncurly is the brand I used.

The Soultanicals Strand Repair DC and the Mielle Babassu DC are dupes for one another. Their ingredients are similar, and they also serve the same purpose and offer the same results - silky soft, highly moisturized, balanced hair. Their only difference lies in their consistency, with the Soultanicals being thick and creamy while the Mielle has a thin, lotion-like, I should be in a bottle not a jar texture (the Mielle also tingles slightly due to its peppermint content). Get one or the other, but there is no need for both, says the person who again finds herself possessing three jars of each product. I'm beginning to see the problem...

Sometimes I think I can feel my hair growing...I know it's not probable, but still....

I wonder .... can you use a wrap lotion before blow drying?

I'm wondering why I have grey hairs, shed hairs, and some random otherwise "normal" hairs that are bone straight when I am 100% natural. Is there some science behind grey hairs and shed hairs that lose their curl? Regardless, at least those hairs I can excuse. The ones I especially hate are the normal looking and healthy hairs that are stick straight and kind of doing their own thing.

I just watched a two part series on YouTube called The Science of Gray Hair and in it she tells why grays are straighter than the rest.:

Chlorella was actually mentioned? I'll have to view this. There's a thread. Many members are taking chlorella for their hair.

EDIT: For those who didn't view the 'grey hair' video, chlorophyll was mentioned, which is contained in high amounts in chlorella (higher) and wheatgrass (very high) and all leafy greens (it gives the green its color).

She mentioned chlorophyll in the vid and I know chlorella already has it. A quote from this link: http://www.freegrab.net/chlorella.htm

Best sources of Chlorophyll: More abundant and richest sources of chlorophyll may be found in chlorella, spirulina, wheat grass and barley grass and lesser amounts in green vegetables.

I actually love grey hair, but I take sprirulina and chlorella daily...so the few greys I have maybe all I'll get.

Bless this site. Gotta show my mother these options for her greys. I wonder how effectively these options reverse grey hair.

I remember the video stating chlorophyll stopped new greys from appearing.

I spent 50 minutes on this wash and go, but I'm tempted to wash it out because my Liquid Love arrived, as well as my Komaza samples. I'm soooooooooo curious about these products!!!

I went to an interview today and I usually wear a wig but I decided to wear my 5 day old wash n go instead. Unfortunately I didn't get the job (i need to work on my braiding skills) but I did get a nice compliment on my hair. It was puffy due to it raining outside so I was surprised at that.

I've exhausted my list of places to apply. Everyone wants experience. I am a little sad at that because it has been 3 months since I graduated. It seems like I'm just going to have to train myself and work for myself because no one wants to hire a newbie.

I know a lot of people get experience being an assistant for a "senior" hairstylist. Is that an option for you?

Welp September is here and so begins my month of no dc'ing. I think I'll be ok since I don't use heat and I wear protective styles. I'm alternating herbal essences' hello hydration and argon oil conditioners as my rinse out.

You probably already thought of this, but I feel like "mainstream" chain salons (like Supercuts) might have more entry level positions available.
