Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Nightingale]

I decided that putting my hair in medium/large twists would be faster than a curlformer set. Wrong. It took just as long to install, but at least I don't have to sit under the dryer.

I did like seeing my twists look plump and juicy from roots to ends. Last week's trim was exactly what my hair needed.

Detangling was EASY yesterday and didn't take as long as it normally does. I trimmed an inch off last week so the ends aren't rough and tangly...I guess sometimes all you need is a good trim.

Aunt flo got me layed up in my bed like

Hair plans postponed till tomorrow. I did at least detangle with coconut oil and mix my henna.

We were at my aunt's house when My DD got some icing in her hair. I had to do a quick rinse then braided her hair in 2 French braids. My aunt had no hair products (she's a salon junkie) so I used Vaseline and baby lotion in DD's hair.

I took it down today. Her hair is so soft and she has a great defined braidout! Lol.

Blowout is getting oily. I really do not plan on washing my hair. I'll keep it wrapped and use dry shampoo to keep it alive.

The weather here in Charlotte sucks right now too on a side note.

Hey NC girl. I'm about 2 hours south of you.

I need this Outre wig in every color!

I need some of these LHCF emojis on my phone.

I plan to be in wigs or beanies for the rest of the year. My hair has only been exposed to the elements once this year (I know it just started but still lol) and I plan to keep that up. I also plan on experimenting with head wraps this year.

My hair is in twists and I doubt I'll remove them until Friday. Trying to figure out how I'll get away with wearing my slap to work all day at least 2 days this week. 2 days, I'm not in office. 1 Day is a casual day. My supervisor is a yt man and he made a stupid comment about my hair once.

I just might get away with this.

What did your boss say??

 

[Saludable84]

What did your boss say??

He said "you did your hair" and when he saw how I turned to look at him he caught himself and said "you did your hair differently". Like that's what he was saying in the first. I don't think he will say anything if reference to my hair again without it going to EEO.

I was gifted the Aveda paddle brush by a friend after talking about how it's been on my "to buy" list forever.
2nd best gift I've ever received.

 

[curlyTisME]

Dry shampoo to the rescue. Blowout has to last until the 20th.

I need to pick up some new silk pillowcases and a new shower cap tomorrow.

So. I had small setback. I was nursing 3-4 inches of thin weak ends from my past year of near total neglect..and was doing a good job until this week I decided to wear a wig cap instead of my usual satin bonnet under my half wig. My hair length felt so moisturized having been tucked away in celies. However upon closer examination...I had splits galore :/ some huge and even some midshaft.

Ugh. Im pretty sure its from all that friction taking the stocking cap off and on everyday. Im mad at myself. I know my hair doesn't like stocking caps but I used it anyway cause I wanted to try something less bulky.

The ends had to go anyway but I wasn't ready to let them go so soon. I spent a hour doing selective S&D trying to save as much as I could but the ends were too crazy. I had to cut. 2 inches at least. Im too mad to measure.

Lesson learned.

Nothing in my stash gives me elongation like MyHoneyChild Sophia's Hair Grease so far.
Got my twists all long and juicy

My hair is feeling so moist and juicy right now with Bask & Bloom Silky Aloe Hair Pudding. I really like that stuff. I mixed the last of my APB Ayurveda hair Cream in it and it's perfect together. I believe the Pudding will be perfect with anything moisturizing in my opinion actually.

I am so happy that I don't have any labs this semester. I can wear a beanie to class every single day!! Time to shop for more beanies.

Bought a pack of marley hair so my buns would be even more protective. The other day I sewed satin around my bun donut because it was wreaking havoc on my ends. Next thing to get is either a puffcuff or a cheap round banana clip. Also my crochet box braids are here, so sometime next year I'll be able to do individual crochet braids. 2017 will be the year I get the front of my hair to cbl at least

I love my puff cuff.

I want to wear hair turbans and my SLAP but the environment really isn't fit for it. There's really nothing in the dress code that says I can't but I'd be reaching to wear it. But, my head stays cold in the office.

You use it to seal? I'll try it next time I twist. I've been using QB AOHC.

Yes I use it to seal. Love it!

My hair kept getting caught in the zip of my dress today. I was cringing at the though of my ends getting all chewed up by my clothes. Getting rubbed up by my wool-lined hood of my coat and scarf. Between the zips and the wool and the cold, I think I'm ready to try some twists on the part of my hair that is currently loose. The top half is still canerowed in two.

Babassu oil has done for me what coconut oil never did. It is an absorbing oil that doesn't break me out or make me itch. And the dry detangling/prepoo last night was AMAZING. Ya'll can keep the coconut oil. I'm over here with my new bae.

Ooh, what does it smell like?

 

[KinkyRN]

Heyyy! Did you all get any snow?

No not here. But in Pinehurst they got about 2 inches of snow.

I love my puff cuff.

I really really want to invest in the family pack for the variety of options. Banana clips just treat my hair a lot nicer. Hopefully in April/May I can spring for it.

 

[LavenderMint]

So far as I can tell, there's no scent.
