Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

@Tressed
You need to come upstairs to the Hair Forum sometime. You've been holding out on us. I was admiring your hair porn avi downstairs and I have questions.

Are you natural or relaxed?

If natural do you straighten via roller set, flat iron, or marcel iron?

Are you a DIYer or a salon head?

How frequently do you do your hair?

What is your trim schedule?

How long is your hair?

Do you use mainstream or handmade/natural products?

TIA

I cannot use that stuff anymore. Leaves a bad film. Some swear but it but it doesn't work for me.

I can't use it. It's like a protein treatment and it's heavy. I watch out for products that use words like strength, rebuilds, reduce breakage, etc...It weights the hair down. And I use nothing but cones in my hair. It worked at first, probably because I might have needed something like that at the time, but after awhile, my hair felt hard and like straw.
 
Uh oh. Although I received an email saying the order shipped, I honestly don't think it did. There is no tracking number anywhere, neither in the email sent to me nor on the website under the order details. I really hope that I don't have any issue either getting the product or a refund.

How frequently are you ladies clarifying your hair?

Actually :look: I have been clarifying more often lately because I was trying to use up a shampoo I wanted to get rid of. I'm comparing the effect of the JMRTB on my hair to the effect of other conditioners I've used. It should be better.
 
So I relaxed my leave out for my sew in. Looks like I'm going back to the relaxer.

Also the relaxer made my hair longer... I think I'm wsl. Will take pics when I take out my sew in.

I rebuke this! You have to speak it into existence! Can you reach out to Devachan and reconnect with them? You may have to commute till you build up your CV.

As my mommy used to say, "don't ever let anyone point the "bone" at you or "close any doors" for you!"

"Find a way through the door! Even if you have to go under it, through the keyhole or crack when the hinge is opened."

Keep your eye on the prize and persevere!

:bighug:

ETA: Stop wearing du-rags in public! :whip:

ETA2: Sometimes the forum increases my font size. It's late, I'm not getting on my laptop to fix it.

I just realized that I didn't receive my Lawrence Ray Concept order of shake & go refill. I was not provided a tracking number so I'm unable to track the package. I emailed the company and will wait to hear back.

Several of us had problems with our BF LRC order.

My top was cracked and about 8oz/12oz of the product has spilled out in the poorly wrapped packaging.

There was no protective seal to prevent spillage (or hygiene) and it was very poorly wrapped.

Just a Priority Envelope no padding, Peanuts etc.....

It took LRC a while to get back to me. I also filed a PP Dispute to get their attention when they didn't respond in a timely manner.

Another posters entire contents had spilled out in the packaging.

I have so much to figure out still but too little motivation to achieve anything with my hair.

But you know what??? Imma just wait till its long to try. Lol! (JK) But seriously, these shed hairs got me messed up and trying to remove them leads to breakage. My flat twists keep tryna jump off my head, I don't got money for all of these fancy hair-growing potions that keep coming out, and quite frankly... I'm tired. I'm tired and I don't even do anything to it.

So I'm really boutta just keep on keeping on and wait till its long to try. *closes laptop*

I'll be in the entertainment thread for about a year. Please send me links of any threads with tea involved. Petty arguments in the comments are especially welcome. :abducted: *comes back tomorrow*
 
I can't remember if I used PP or not but I will be filing something with my bank/PP if i don't get a response within a week.

After reading about the packaging issues, I wonder if my package was destroyed because the product leaked? I'ont know. I just want my money back.

My hair type is 4b relaxed and I have a very simple low manipulation regimen.

I'm totally diy and have a home salon, but I only do my own hair or my daughters hair there. I basically cowash with V05 conditioner, and then add leave-in Infusium 23 to air dry my hair in braids, and I flat iron every 2 weeks.

I dust every four weeks and wear protective styles a lot. I baggy at nite with VO5 conditioner and seal with castor oil along the length of my hair, and it grows like crazy. I keep a real simple regimen and average about 1 1/2 to 2 inches of new growth every 3 months. I use no growth aids.

I relax every 15 - 16 weeks, and I use Dark and Lovely Beautiful Beginnings kiddie perm for 'fine hair', even though my hair is not fine.

I'm a little past waist length now and have been for about 5 years. I use very few products and they are store bought.

Thanks for sharing! Simple Dimple Low-Manipulation wins the race,:yep:
 
Layed my edges with Lottabody edge control Mixed with Shea Moisture Peace Rose Nourish & Silken Styling gel cream.

Lordtttt, my edges haven't moved since I took my scarf off this morning. They don't feel cemented to my head eaither.

I just need to make sure this doesn't flake, and it will be HG status. It feels like something to seal hair with, it's so silky!
