Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I really don't like this dusty color my hair naturally has. It's like a 1B or a 2. It makes me feel like my hair is dirty :lachen:I know I should just chill out on doing anything chemical to my hair though

My hair is the same color, I hate it in the winter but once summer comes with the highlights, it's ok... unless of course I'm trynna match it to fake hair, then we got problems.

I wanted to wear my real hair out this summer but the way this length is set up ... :look: Ionno.

I got this dusty stuff as well. And now it's even worse with the gray hair. The gray just makes it look even dustier. :tantrum:

Add me to the dusty brigade... I'm about to dye it black
 
The level of laziness that I have been experiencing with my hair is beyond ridiculous. I've been putting off wash/cowashing each day this week. And on my best day, I'm serving a low bun.
I'm gonna pay the price when I have to detangle my hair Friday. I'm definately gonna have to do a prepoo treatment.

a virgin relaxer service at a decent mid-high end salon costs so much- not as much as keratin but approaching that price -it's been so long since I've gotten one
I tried to look at this high end place, they wanted $325 for a virgin phytorelaxer application- uh no way, that is the price of a keratin - not that I want keratin again, I don't- but I think a relaxer should cost way less

I've done this before a few times. Filled my hair up with a ton of conditioner with slip and combed it out, whatever you do don't go to a salon, they will tear your head up, lol fr

You better go to the hood! Just look at the products the stylist uses! Lol if he/she has brown gel and pump it up spray, Run!

Yeah it is harder natural. However, if I rollerset or straighten it does look darker. Stretching the hair definitely makes it look better.

My hair was 22 different colors when I used henna :lol: It was horrible.

I'm never gonna get rid of this blonde unless I use a permanent hair color, or grow it out... I guess I will just stick to black cherry until it grows out.
 
My TGIN order arrived and there are TWO (2) problems with it.

One of the problems with my order is my fault, and one is not:
I ordered the sample poo, condish, mask, and moisturizer collection, but I was actually mainly just interested in the leave-in. I figured I'd better satisfy my curiosity about the shampoo and the mask in the form of samples. MY FAULT: For SOME reason I thought the sample collection included a sample of the Green Tea Super Moist Leave In. IT DOES NOT. (Harumph).​

I also ordered a 2 oz. sample of the twisting creme. HOWEVER, it is not in the box. (Sigh). Everything else was fine: All soaps accounted for. (Aside: I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the African black soap.).​

So now I don't want to order 2 oz. of the leave-in and pay shipping fees again. Yet, I don't want to spend $15 (I believe) for it at Target just to try it out. But I want the leave-in, because that was the whole point of even looking at TGIN, because I'm still in need of a staple moisturizing leave-in.

Sigh: I'm going to end up getting it from Target. I can return it if it doesn't work well with my hair.

Just get it and return it. I love mine but you will hate the bottle.
 
I hate to say it, but I think this silicone-containing TGIN deep conditioner is giving me well-moisturized hair. :cry3:I don't want to like you, TGIN DC!

And it dawns on me: The more good products I trial, the more time it's going to take to nail my regimen.
 
I'm just going to give up. My curiosity for different hair products is most likely never going to go away. My regimen has been the same for a while but the desire to try different products comes and goes. Ah well. I have a small stash now (16 items total) so as long as I keep it from getting out of hand I should be ok.

Will answer this question later this evening. Rushing getting ready for work at the moment.

ETA:

So far my HGs are:

-Annabelle's Perfect Blends Deep Conditioners and Refresher Sprays.
-Kerastase Deep Conditioners
-Redken Deep Conditioners
-Elucence Shampoos
-Keracare Shampoos, Deep Conditioners, Leave-ins and Moisturizers
-She Scent It - everything I've tried so far in this line but I have a ways to go still because I own at least 3/4 of what they sell except the cowashes. I don't particularly care for any cowash conditioners since I prefer shampoo with suds.
-Naturelle Grow Hibiscus and Honey Leave-in
-Bekura Honey Latte and Tonga Mousse Leave-ins

I believe added to this list will be J. Monique's Naturals - my hair is loving her products so far.
