Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

My hair has finally gotten to a length where it has nice hang and isn't a big puffy mushroom

I swam at the beach today and my hair looked great when it dried
 
halee_J - are you relaxed ends feeling softer, stronger or something else?

SuchaLady - I've worn buns to interviews. To me, it looks professional. Keeps hair out of the way which is less of a distraction for you and the interviewer(s).
 
I'm mad that this seller on amazon has KC Knot Today listed for 7.99 but 16.49 for shipping and handling. WTH? They must be outta their mind.
 
Added a bit of lanolin to my oil mix and sealed with it tonight after I rinsed my hair....hair feels pretty nice...so far, so good.

did my 2 step henna/indigo this weekend, boy that grey was kicking. didnt realize how much I had. Overnight dc, air dried and now in 5 flat twist ready for work in the morning (Monday).

I am officially tired :lol:
 
My DD told me she wants bangs. I said "why so you can sit there and comb them all dang day."

She started cracking up because she saw this quite often in school.

HEY! There's a reason for all the combing! Bangs aren't easy to maintain, they have a mind of their own. Always misbehaving and what not. It looks like vanity but bangs really are bothersome, there's a thin line though. :lol:

I hear what you are saying.
I had bangs as a youngin' and they were not bothersome for me.I feel all that combing makes me think they want too much attention.

Yeah I see what you mean. It can be viewed both ways. In real life, I don't like being the center of attention 24/7 so it was a grooming issue more than a vanity issue.

Yeah I get it.

I don't want my DD being the center of attention so I will pass on a bang for her now. She is natural anyway and a bang would look ridiculous to me
 
this kimmay tube leave in doesnt seem like anything special to me....

:lachen: :lachen: :lachen:

Aw does she want to do that thing where people straighten the bang and leave the rest natural? I swear there was a thread about straight bangs and a puff in the back, talking about whether it was acceptable or not.

She couldnt care less about the back she just wants a bang.

I dont know if its acceptable for afro textured hair or not because I've never seen it. I do know that hispanic girls do it all the time and no one says boo about it.

I just dont think it will look nice

@Aireen - I had bangs but no true recollection of their neediness. Oh well.
@SuchaLady - well let us see that bangin' first day bun. Is your technique different after the first day for the bun to be different/not as pretty?

divachyk She has wanted one for a few months now. She is not thinking about the entire head just the bangs. Most little girls around her age want one. I remember being 8 and I took my natural hair and did a paper bag roller to get one. It looked ridiculous and puffy ha ha
 
WTH is 4c hair?I think I asked this before but I still don't know the answer.

There's no such thing as 4c hair. After 4B hair was shown to have coils, folks who didn't believe their hair could do that called their hair CNapp or 4C. IMO, the hair they call 4C/CNapp is just manipulated 4B hair. People with 4B hair who care to grow it long do not keep letting their coils show but rather keep hair stretched and therefore showing no coils whatsoever. And because it's worn like that all the time, it appears to have no pattern...and therefore the 4C/CNapp name came to be.
 
If your hair is twisted and you didn't braid the roots, then it's easy to think the loosening at the base is growth, when it's really just loosened twists. Same thing with braid extensions, just because you see a lot of unbraided hair at the base doesnt' mean you got growth. Extensions slide especially after washing. So wait to undo to really confirm growth; don't go by what you feel at the base.
 
Some styles my hair reacts better when clean/completely wet and unfortunately the bun is one of them. Washing or wetting my hair everyday is not about to happen.

PS. That hair in your siggy is drool worthy! You look like you are creeping up on waistlength!
