Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[YvetteWithJoy]

Gift and curse. I was walking past minding my business until I saw the grey bottle. A man watched me praise Jesus and grab my jars, and run like I was hiding from that girl who stol my conditioner the last time I went in target.

I don't have to go to ulta anymore. Unless the sale is goodt.

Tears!!!

Finally finished with my mini braids. I'll keep these in for a few weeks.

Gotta DC and retighten DS's locs and buzz DH's hair. One day, I'm going to get back to weekly hair day for the family... I hope.

Planning on bunning for the forseeable future. Excited to see where it takes me. Got no patience for anything else. Not into false hair/covering it completely right now.

I hope my wig stays put today. I have a slight headache so I don't want to deal with combs or bobby pins. I just slapped this bad boy on and said a little prayer.

I put 4 pins in my hair and my wig still is jerking back every time I lean on my hair. I gotta re-learn how to sit with a wig again

This new Evolv Satin Bonnet that I purchased from Walmart (I don't like them) is really nice...oversized, comfortable, fits my perm rollers...

...On another note, I'm gargling with coconut oil because I heard that it is a natural tooth whitener...I don't ever think I've held liquid in my mouth for 20 minutes before (in my entire life)...my jaws are shaking...5 more minutes...

My scalp is so itchy! Yet I'm too lazy to wash my hair.

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

I think I have found the solution: I can donate my gently used hair products that don't resonate with my hair to a women's shelter.

As a reminder to myself, I'm thinking about THIS one because they have a location right in my town: http://www.brightertomorrows.net/get_involved

I feel like my edges have seasons. There are seasons where their full and thriving then there are seasons where they look sparse. All o can do right now is use my doctored up Njoy every other day.

That's making me smile so hard and chortle out loud. I'm imagining your edges: "Giiiiiiiirrrrrllll! I ain't coming out THIS season: Too [hot/cold]! See you NEXT season. (Yeah, that's MY season)."

One day, I may end up buying some jojoba esters and gums so I can make my own conditioner.

DH finally agreed to help me take pictures after I said, "Documenting this will help me stay motivated. Every little bit helps." He is such a soft touch, *snicker*

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

Yesssssssss!

I woke up this morning with nary a hair worry!

I focused on my body care, skincare, and makeup. I had no stress about time constraints and breakage.

#wigwinnnnnnniiiiiiiiiiingggggggg!

P.S. And I got tons of compliments on "my" hair yesterday.



Now LET my gorgeous, I'm-a-make-it-sexy, silk head scarf arrive. They not gon' be able to tell me NUTTIN'!

I'm not a pj, but I have the sudden urge to buy 4 or 5 different dc's in the little 2oz packs and try a different one each time I dc for the rest of the year. Idk why I want to but ummm ya, I will be hitting Target or Sally's this wknd to get a few packs.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

I want long hair yet I do not have the patience for what it requires for me to get there.

Oh well, something will work itself out.

 

[Smiley79]

I finally took out my sew in...I missed my hair so much. Now I get back to using my products and pampering my hair!

Huh?

 

[Anaisin]

My Sephora order shipped. So excited to try Qhemet and I also got Briogeo shampoo sample.

 

[Dee_33]

Added jojoba oil and a new conditioner to my routine at the same time so now I'm not sure which is respondible for my boost in moisture. Guess I'll use a diff cond this wash day and if the results are the same I'll know it's the jojoba.

Her hair looks thicker

I didn't bring my silk scarf bun it up nothing

Now I'm paying the price smh

 

[HappywithJC723]

What wigs are you ladies wearing? I'm on the hunt for a new one..I think I need to hide my hair again for a while.

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

I want to get two of these, at least one in medium brown, and I want to cut one to CBL.

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

Lately in my head I've been rewriting songs to process my hair issues:

Example #1:
"All I need is one line, one line" (to the tune of Nas's "One Mic")

I just want ONE LINE that will do all I need! Exhale.

Example #2:
"Started from the bottom, now it's cleared . . . started from the bottom now the knots are . . . cleared" (to the tune of Drake's "Started from the Bottom")

When I had the thought, "Hmm. I could PLAY Drake's 'Started from the Bottom' and use that to help me reach my detangling time goals" -- that's when I seriously began considering getting a protective style.

This is a lot of work. Ill have to blow it out again next month for my protective style.

Blow drying was awhile and then to try and flat iron?? I just looked at it and kept it moving.

I wouldn't mind trying those plates you use to stretch.

I was just thinking about those the other day. Whatever happened with those?

Are you gargling or swishing and pulling (in/out) through your teeth? You should be doing the latter. And please pay close attention to your teeth while oil pulling with evco... When I used evco instead of the usual sunflower oil it made my teeth really sensitive, just an FYI.

Wash day is coming early this week, tomorrow instead of Thursday. I'm going to try to get my mom to do some cornrows for me. If not I'll just put my hair into mini twists under my wig. It's also wash day for my wig. I'll probably curl it.

It seems shipping is a long time. 2 months. Smh.

ETA autocorrect gets on my NERVES

Her hair looks thicker

I'm going to copy this exactly except I will start in sections and add leave in before braiding it up. Our hair is very similar and we use some of the same methods. Love how simple her routine is.

 

[beingofserenity]

I thought it was funny how my friend asked me if I got a texturizer. She said my curls look looser. They're not. I just take care of them differently. If I let it dry after washing without doing anything it would still dry up into an undefined frizzball stuck to my head, which is exactly what I did in college all the dang time and had the nerve to cry about how ****** difficult my hair was smh.

The middle of my hair is 4cish. The sides and front are looser, the back is loosest and I get bigger waves back there when I gel it up into a bun.
