Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[prettybyrd]

Has anyone here managed to get twists on heat damaged hair? My ends may be a little straight after get it straightened last night.

I can't wait to do my hair next week. I'm long overdue for a good wash day.

I've been so tempted to transition lately, but I don't actually want to go through the process of transitioning. I just don't feel like relaxing my hair anymore.

I just don't feel like washing and detangling my hair today, but I have too. It's been 7 days since I washed and I'm sure I have buildup from Xcel21...

I think my edges may be getting a little thin. Nothing obvious and I can't tell by looking at old pics, but I feel like its true. Now the question is, do I wear it in down and out styles from now on or just leave the edges free and still bun?

How do you protect your hair at night? Do you leave your bun in? JBCO has worked wonders with preserving mine and my baby daughters edges.

Transitioning varies by the person. Mine was pretty harmless.

How long did you transition for and how did you do it (braids, buns, etc)?

31 months. In the beginning rollersets. Then buns or twistouts which I wore pulled up on my head. I first cut last year August then finished this year July.

Xcel21 has my edges pushing out of my wig. I have to slick down after braiding my hair to get it decent.


Fyi. I'm tired of my wig already. Lololol

Usually I loosen the bun and bring it higher, like loose top knot. I'll have to give JBCO a shot.

I think you will find it beneficial. You don't need a lot nor do you have to use it daily. 2-3x a week will be fine. I personally like the Tropical Isle Monoi scent.

Happy birthday @QueenAmaka @vmerie

I'm impressed, this closure on this weave looks good. Not too wiggy and very flat.
Now I have to get back in the habit of wrapping up my hair at night again. ...haven't really done that in a while

 

[princess_z]

I had a friend give me the whole Mielle Organics product line. Will most likely use the conditioner this coming wash day.

 

[SuchaLady]

So that Kenra I was just raving about has my hair dry as the Sahara I cannot believe this; I will have to rewash later tonight or tomorrow. My hair literally feels like hay

 

[Rocky91]

the one thing that ruins these kinky straight installs that are all over Youtube is the density. the textures look great but it's too much hair most of the time!
i'm browsing through looking for ideas on how to style my hair for this wedding this week.

 

[Saludable84]

My hair is soooooo soft and I don't want to wash it. I love when the moisture last.

But the way this netwurks on my scalp is set up

 

[Philippians413]

I wish I had kept some sort of hair product journal to keep track of how each product I tried responded to my hair. I'm definitely going to start doing that now though.

 

[Miss Kane]

Washed and conditioned my hair. I was too tired to do my color today.... Now I am trying to find the energy to do this roller set.

I need a nap.

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

I've been rotating protein treatments with henna treatments each month but now I can't remember which one I need to do at the end of this month . I need to keep a hair journal.
I'm also finally realizing I have never had protein overload because my strands will break if you look at them . Protein is a huge must for me. Had I realized that sooner, I'd be tail bone length.

 

[Sharpened]

I am getting tired of these stylists not answering phones, not returning emails, and not replying to Facebook messages. Is Father Yah trying to tell me not to get my hair done yet? *sigh*

 

[Anaisin]

I don't even have room for new products

 

[beingofserenity]

My sister bought some quemet products. I'm glad she did because I've always wanted to try them and now I know I'll never buy them. Their products are too small and I think they work like anything else, mind you I only tried it on a small section of my hair.

ehhh.

 

[LavenderMint]

While I'm grateful for the time I spent in locs, now I realize why people cut their hair off rather than pick them out- besides the time commitment. The damage seems never ending and it's so frustrating to know that length goals are not going to be a thing I can really do until all that is old is trimmed.

This macadamia mask is THICK hope it tames the ng

 

[curlyTisME]

I will be wearing my go to goddess twists until I get my hair done on Wednesday JBCO on my edges and ends and I'll be good until hair day.

 

[halee_J]

Hair is did. Hair is happy. and the Macadamia mask is

 

[SlimPickinz]

What's your hair length? A fast, easy protective style that I do is a chunky braid out or twist out pulled up into a French roll with a flexi 8 that has a detached stick. The flexi 8 is key because it doesn't snatch edges like bunning . The twist out takes me under a half hour on wash day and the French roll takes a few seconds in the morning.

Let me YouTube French roll. I need a new protective style.

Found out I'm anemic! no wonder I've been stuck at waistlength! I'm on iron supplements and I already feel better. I'm taking a hair, skin & nails vitamin and a multivitamin with biotin to help move things along! luckily I caught it before my hair starts shedding

Big ole wash day hair
