Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

i called myself detangling my hair Sunday, but i didn't wash. now it's Tuesday and i am going to have to do it all over again. i have my hair in six sections and i found 20 shed hairs in one. (yes i counted)
 
For the first time, I rocked my transitioning 'fro (after having cornrows for three weeks), a yellow minidress, and pink flip-flops while walking to the mailbox in the McYT of the McYT suburbs of L.A. where I live.

I loved it!!!! I felt free. I had a few of them doing double takes and I didn't care.

I can't wait until my hair is fully natural.
 
I've had it up to HERE with my itchy scalp lol. I swear pre-pooing with jojoba, eucalyptus, and lavender oil is the only thing that calls my scalp, but I just want my scalp to be all better NOW :(

Nix08 - this is the best I could do with self-pic, low-lighting, and trying to sneak a pic at lunch in between folk knocking on my door. Whew!

Air dried hair only, with leave-ins of course but its not roller set or anything. For a full swirly like bun, I will roller set my hair, wear that for a few days and then bun on an old roller set. Gives it a cinnamon bun like appearance. :yep:

As much as I love Vatika oil, I'm tired of having to heat the bottle every day to melt it. I think after this bottle is done, I'm going to buy grapeseed oil to seal my hair.

Tiiva Naturals DC is a nope. Nada. It's a wrap. Thankfully I purchased it when it was on sale.

@divachyk, what didn't you like? I ask coz I randomly came across a YT-er raving about the line (can't remember what product)...so just curious to hear from someone I actually am familiar with...and whom I'm sure speaks LHCF. So spill! :poke:

ETA Prelude to a Kiss.... :rofl: Too funnyyyyyyyyy!

Discovered Liquid lanolin is a bit too good at sealing (dried out my hair), so I'l be saving it for when I straighten later this Fall to see how it works on reversion...
 
So yeah after yet another 100 degree here in TX I had to take out my crochet braids. After the workout today I thought I was going to freakin pass the HE!! out. I am going to reinstall around late September. WTH was I thinking anyway.
 
I really really like my new foil conditioning cap... However my dad is calling me "jiffy pop" and laughing every time I walk in the room :s LOL!
 
Sometimes I wish my hair grew at the same rate.


I have some patches of hair at BSL while the others want to be punks and not be there yet. Grrrrr......
 
My mom still wants me to straighten my hair. I just did box braids today and she is mad dogging me!!!!! because I said that I would straighten my hair, but it's too hot for that !@#$!

You'd think I was doing something ~crazy~ with my hair or something. She is really mad, though. Saying things like, "You promised" and "I can't trust you for anything". DRAMATIC

Stick to your guns, she'll live.
 
Why wont my hair lay down? I dont understand. It always looks fuzzy. People transition and stretch and get smoother ponytails than I do. I dont understand. :/
 
I also need to get a SOFT boar brush. I went one step in the right direction by getting my boar bristle brush last year but now I need a soft one. I have to baby my edges; having eczema on your hairline sucks butt :'(
 
I love pulling out shed hairs :look: I get a weird satisfaction from it
I thought this was just me! I'm detangling on dry hair right now and pulling out the shed hairs is so satisfying. I almost love it too much though, because sometimes I think I see a shed hair and I end up plucking off a tiny piece of a nonshed strand. Oops.
 
winona Thank you soo much! For some reason I am thinking smaller = more snug pony and bigger = looser pony. Is there any truth to this? I will more than likely order one of both either way just to try.

I ordered some of the smaller ones for the girls at the emergency shelter. They are really small (put both index fingers together and count 4 sections). I can't remember if you are relaxed/texlaxed/natural/other but the less dense your hair the smaller I would go. I am natural with BKT and I like the elle from Ulta because I can cover it pretty easily(rounded) and it is very sturdy(thick plastic).
 
winona I am relaxed and have thick hair but I know for a fact it doesnt compare to naturals that use the larger ones. :lol: I will look into the one from Ulta. I need to run in there anyway, I am interested in trying Kenra :look:
