Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[vevster]

The avocado deep conditioner from Alikay smells terrible. I just put a big label on it

For prepoo use only.

It smelled as if it was fermenting.

Oh and by the way Mielle Organics is officially over rated IMHO. I used 3/4+ bottle of co wash on my hair just now.... I will spend no more money on Mielle.

Wow!! Soutanicals knot sauce is serious. I've never had something so slimy and able to detangled my hair so well. I had horror stylist experience (I'll make a thread on that) and I was left with supper tangled up and broken hair. On a whim I went out and bought the knot sauce before trying to fix my hair. It feels so slippery and slimy. And it goes in the same way. The tangles came right out and the difficult ones I just had to work a bit. If it works so well on my absolute worst (and very rare) hair I wonder how it will work on regular hair? The only place it didn't really work well was my crown because my crown has a weird and rough texture.

They probably sold you something old. The alikay avocado DC smells like candy imo

The co-wash was the one I didn't buy. I love the shampoo, the leave in and the DC. My hair isn't that fond of cowashing. Have you tried any of those products?

WNG for tomorow is already done. I will only have to fluff and go tomorrow. Thankfully my blow dryer and diffuser arrived. More than likely I will do a cowash and deep condition tomorrow night with heat. I also trimmed a few random loose curls that have been heat exposed more than some other spots. Nothing too drastic though.

Curly hair is growing on me. I think the hardest part is the shrinkage and possible PJ tendencies.

I been wanting to comment on something for the past hour but I have nothing nice to say so...I'm just going to say that I can't wait to get my other pillowcases Tuesday. I should have ordered three like I started to. I also should have ordered that cool cap blow dryer thing but I won't need it for a while because I don't plan on setting again until fall. Now I want to go back on Ama/zon and place another order.

I tried the cowash me product. It was fine. I just didn't like that milk smell.

Still worked. I think her conditioners are the best out there for my hair. My dried out ends come back to life.

Definitely! I meant to save that as a draft but I guess it butt posted. I was saying I hate when stylists try to do our hair and know that they can't! Just be a man/woman about it and let me out the chair! Why fluck up my hair?!

To pixie or not to pixie...

Why you wanna return to TWA-land?

I'm still debating, but I've been seeing all of the beautiful undercuts and pixies.....But then again I want BSL length. Smh. I think I'm being impatient about hair growth. Sigh

Boredom? Time to try a new style, perhaps?

I think so, I will skip on over into the wig thread

I was going to suggest getting a wig before making such a drastic move.

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

I don't remember when I relaxed my hair. I thought I put it in my calendar, but it only says when to check my new growth

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

What cool cap blow dryer thing is this, @KinksAndInk. TIA!

 

[SlimPickinz]

Straight hair and working out do not mix.

LMBO!

I just used the CRN Coconut Water Style Setter. I went to the website to read reviews and tips on usage. I encountered this HILARIOUS review:

Recently, I was contemplating having my name legally changed to Sahara, which would more accurately describe my arid hair type. I have been using the Coconut Water "Style Setter" for only a few weeks, and it is the absolute best. I also use the product on my daughter's hair. Naturally, her hair type is soft, but the ends are dry. She loves the smell of the product, and even she notices a difference. Every morning, she says, "Put the coconut stuff on there so it can be soft." I am going to try using it on my boyfriend so his chest hair can stop feeling like cactus thorns!​

Straight hair and working out do not mix.

I always take a week off from when I get my hair straightened. I only do it every 8 weeks so it doesn't mess up my workout schedule too much.

 

[curlyTisME]

Didn't cowash and DC tonight due partly to the fact we are going to the zoo tomorrow and I will surely want to wash mine and baby girl's hair afterwards.

Refreshed my WNG and will rock it one more day before I cleanse. Thinking of trying a baking soda mix I saw on YT.

IMO she was telling the truth.

My silk pillowcases will be here tomorrow...going to have to order more because my mom has already laid claim to one I think I might wash my hair tomorrow and do a curlformer set.

Can you share the link for the pillow cases? I need a couple more. Thx!

Which is better for moisture
Soultanicals marula muru or the fluffalicious

I used to use qhemet biologics amla heavy cream but it too much of a pain to get my hands on.

 

[sarumoki]

Really thinking about just ending this transition and cutting off my relaxed hair. This demarcation line is a PAIN. It's so funny how only an inch long section of hair is dictating what I do with my entire head.

 

[angelmilk]

Cornrows make my head hurt...individual braids under my wigs from now on. Plus I can moisturize these better.

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

I'm now trying all kinds of sets, and I'm finding that my little portable soft bonnet hair dryer is not able to accommodate the curlers and such that I'm putting in my hair.

Is there ANY alternative dryer accessory-type or portable-type thing I can get that will suffice, or am I going to have to invest in a standing dryer?

A looooong time ago I had a hard bonnet dryer that was portable, and I could never figure out how to get the height right. Maybe things have changed now and these things are better, or maybe I can learn what I was doing wrong?

My goals it to be able to have curlformers installed and dry them under whatever I end up getting.

TIA for any help!
