Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

So i did a little Ph experiment on the water in my house. My drinking water (the little faucet next to the main one in the kitchen) was a perfect 7. But the main faucet water where I occasionally wash my hair and my shower water were very alkaline and clocked in at 11-12. So I decided to add a ACV rinse using the drinking water as a final step to close my cuticles after using very alkaline water to wash.
Oh and I ordered another wig. Bobbi Boss Haven in Black cherry. So pretty!

I passed that color on to my dd. I didn't realize it was my natural color until I went natural. I thought the chemical in the relaxer caused the color "change". Little did I know!!! That's what happens what you are relaxed for your entire adult life. Not only did I not find the unicorn curls I had been dreaming about but I found the dusty red-brown was mine.

It's funny..I have a love/hate relationship with the brown. I think the relaxer did affect my hair colour. My hair has been naturally darker. Now I've got this henna, it's quite a rich red/brown that I like.

You did not find the unicorn curls you had been dreaming of? I don't know the type of curls you were imagining, but curls you did find are wonderfully unicornesque:giggle:

Yeah, well, it's not that I don't like them...it's that I wasn't ready for what actually grows up there--fine, penspring sized coils. I hear that's a common problem among the newly natural. I'm a work in progress.

The TGIN leave in is really nice but if it's still in the rounded bottle, be prepared for a fight getting it out when you get close to the half of it done (if you continue to use it). I like that leave in and had to let it go because of the packaging because I refuse to fight my hair products to get out of bottles.

I put mine in a different bottle. I love it to much to let the bottle get in the way. I did say I was going to write them about it though.
 
My twist outs have been poofing up like crazy and they have not been lasting mor than a day. I didn't think the air had that much moisture in it but I guess I was wrong. I'm going back to basics to tavkle this problem after I wash I will use leave in conditioner and a shea butter and coconut oil only mix. I can not stand it when my twist out doesn't last. Can I get 3 days at least?
 
Why does everyone around here have such dry and damaged cotton candy hair? You would think there was a deep conditioner shortage going on. It doesn't seem to matter what background- white American, Chinese, Bengali, Mexican, etc. The ones with naturally straight hair are the worst offenders. All of the ones with healthy hair seem to have curly hair and are typically Caribbean Latina or other kind of Caribbean. The African girls here seem to wear healthy looking braids mostly but the ones who are probably protective styling under their weaves at least have healthy looking, styled weaves. Naturally straight haired girls must not have gotten the healthy hair movement memo because even the Indian girls have busted, haylike hair over here.
 
I don't know why I waited so long to get a fogless shower mirror. It's so much easier to wash and style my hair in the shower now. And I don't have to worry about cleaning all the flecks of conditioner that get all over the place when I do my wash and goes in front of the bathroom sink. I love my new shower mirror!

Which one did you get? I loved mine when I first got it, but it kept falling off of the shower walls (the section wasn't strong enough). It finally cracked.
 
Naptural85's hair in the video below is a little shorter than mine, but otherwise it is an EXACT match to my curl pattern . . . and the density looks about the same as well.

I want to write her now, and ask her about knots and porosity. :smile:

I detangle in a different manner than her method in the video, but it is cool to finally see someone with your same curl pattern!

 
Wanted to share this earlier but it's a good product. I bought it on a whim and it gave me very good and lasting moisturization with just a little bit. Dollartree ....I just saw online where they are changing their packaging...it's not going to be in Dollartree for long, I suppose. Smells great, too. Shampoo actually moistures as well. Anybody else try it? Reason I picked it up was due to a Youtube and the fact it says it's free of parabens.
