Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[sarumoki]

I always wanted really short hair but was put off by how much work everyone said it was. I thought I would "cheat" by getting a short wig but ugh. HOW DO YOU STYLE THIS THING??? I just wanna look as cute as all the youtubers rocking the same wig...

I think I notice some growth.

I had a somewhat stressful day....so I treated myself to a deep conditioning treatment, sat under the dryer and watched HGTV.

Im right behind you...i hope mine get there soon. The frustrating thing is that the back of my hair grows long while the front half grows super slow.

If there is a such thing as terminal NL, I have achieved it .
The disadvantage of hair that grows out instead of down.

Every time I see my ridonculous shrinkage, I consider going back to texlaxing...though I haven't done it in about 4 years..........

I'm so hair lazy it's disgusting.

A couple of my coworkers have been wearing slaps all the live long day at work. I want to be part of that club.

Girl I protect, moisturize, etc. My breakage is pretty minimal. I'm just going to put it away and not stress anymore.

I forgot I ordered a bootleg deva diffuser. I am now looking foreward to wash day now! LOL

Natural hair has me hair lazy and I like it. I truly set my hair (in two strand twists) and forget about it for weeks. I spray my hair morning and night and that's it. It stays moisturized and I can bun my hair while in the twists. Perfect.

This is my life in a nutshell these days.

I finally feel like I have time to do other things now since I'm no longer being held captive by my hair.

I really need to trim my ends, but I'd have to blow dry my hair straight and I don't feel like doing it.

This was why I looked up how to trim my ends without heat. Someone bought up to me a while ago it's a waste to have to put heat to your hair to cut it.

I'm not sure how much you have to trim, but I put my hair in equal sides and areas clunky twist and clipped see through ends and compared sides to even them out.

 

[Saludable84]

I don't get the PO. They redelivered my package from Wednesday, but where are my packages that were due for Thursday, then rescheduled for Friday and still out for delivery as of yesterday.

Not happy with the satin lined SLAP hat. No maam. What a waste of $30!!

First it was ever so slightly too big. Over the last two weeks since I got it, the band has stretched out so much, there's about a 1"on gap all around. Impossible to stay on. I now fold it over and use pins to sleep in it.

it was cute for the 2 times (literally!) that I wore it outside for errands.

Gonna try a hot wash and see if that shrinks it. ugh.

I'm actually hoping mine will stretch as it's tight.

Thanks for this, I've never tried trimming without heat before. Do you just make sure each section is detangled before you trim? Do you wet your hair at all? I only want to trim 1/2 an inch.

My hair was wet and with DC. I did 8 twist each side equal sections. Cut off the tips and then evened it out. Kinda of like a curly girl method of fayes self trimming.

I made sure each section was detangled. I cut maybe 1/4 of an inch. I just went in a cut a few more strands today, but nothing drastic.

I have discovered the Greenhouse Efffect.

This! And it has worked out so far.

I did mine on stretched, detangled, dry hair because I wear my hair stretched. I wanted the end result to work for how I wear my hair most. It translated well for my curly hair too. My curly hair doesn't look uneven and crazy.

Much like @Saludable84, mine are snug. I will say it did stretch a bit after continuous wear but it's still snug and comfy. I have a big head though so I don't have to worry about it sliding off. I wonder if you contact them what would they say.
