Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

this loose hair is for the birds. i really need to consider going back to locs. i am trying to get to wear my hair in a ponytail or a BAA, but all of this is getting on my nerves. i look like a wild crack head with a failed attempt at a twist out. i take pics and get upset with myself that i thought i was decent enough to leave the house. it's in a frohawk right now, but i need another style.
 
Mon - middle. Tues - left. Wed - right. Tomorrow - to be determined. Fri - I'm off so not much of anything. Here's my bun today. Pretty much the same look but different placement of bun.

shortdub78,

Well make sure you get an SOS soap pad, some back up brillo pads, some regular vinegar, some apple cider vinegar, some castille soap, some clarifying poo, a clarifying conditioner and backing soda so you can get it all off your scalp. Wouldn't want your pores to get blocked and your head swell up. Just looking out for you. Read your grease intervention recovery handbook if you have any questions. :orders:

ROFLMAO....

SO has duty tonight (military) so I'm gonna have stinky sulfur head ALLLLLllllllll night!!! Gotta love nights alone.
 
I am taking my sweet time to remove my twists. Patience is key Nelle; don't rip through your hair like you usually do!
 
@divachyk What do you slick your hair back with? Not a hair looks out of place. My hair stays slick for maybe an hour. When I left the house it was nice and laid down. Now I look like Fuzzy Wuzzy the Teddy Bear :ohwell: But I think my hair just likes to suck in humidity.

Trimmed my ends for the very first time today. It was pretty exciting (not). Just a slight dusting but it's strange to look at the splits, one-by-one O_O
 
I think I am officially over prepooing my hair. I find my hair looks and feels it best when I wash with ORS Creamy Aloe shampoo followed by a moisturizing shampoo. I moisturize and seal my hair every night and baggy my ends twice a week as well. My hair doesn't stand a chance of drying out, so I am skipping this step for the next weeks with an watchful eye on my hair. It is time to condense my wash day process.
 
Cowashed hair w/TJ tea tree oil treat, rinse with very dilute acv, moisturize with KCKT/GDLI/olive oil, seal with hemp seed oil/shea butter. While watching 'Should I Smoke Dope' on DVR. Interesting tv documentary.

SuchaLady - I don't use anything particular to slick the hair down. I always sleep with my hair nicely positioned for the next day's style. I don't overnight bun but I do use Bee Mine Curly Butter on the nape/edges. The catch to the neat, slicked down look is taking a fine tooth comb and racking it across the top layers of the hair to smooth it down. I use a hair net on the bun. Did that help?
 
divachyk Hmm I never even thought about using a fine tooth comb! I must try that. Im going to buy a few more from Sally's (am I the only one that didnt know fine tooth combs came in so many sizes? Some of those teeth I was just like what the heck is the point of that) I gotta baby my edges on my right side though because I have eczema on my hair line and it leaves them thin. Lucky me right? :rolleyes:

Going to do a HOT today under the steamer....now to decide what oil blend to create.

This alma I have smells so strong, I'm not liking that:nono:
 
oooh thank you @Darenia that totally makes me giddy:giggle:
It's the infamous "banana clip bun"

I think your DH is trying to get a fancy new SLR camera:look:
 
People always seem to ruin compliments by saying too much.

Lady at meeting: My co-worker and I were just commenting on how nice your natural hair looks.

Me: Oh thanks, that was nice of you to say

Lady at meeting: Yeah, you have it styled nicely. It's so neat...

Me::perplexed. I kind of tuned her out after she said it's so neat. I think she said something about natural hair and not being neat etc.

I'm sure she meant well. But I felt some kinda way about the whole "neat" comment.
 
I can't wait to get off work so I can wash and condition my hair. I going to buy some Shea Moisture shampoo and conditioner. I might buy a back up conditioner just in case because the reviews I read on Target.com were mixed. Hummmmmmmmm
 
Doing my first official hot oil treatment today with wheat germ, avocado, coconut, hemp and amla oil. Currently wearing a cap but will steam later. I did one months ago and didn't find it wowing (don't remember what oil(s) I used) but I didn't steam then. Lets see if this combo w/ steam leaves me impressed.
 
Okay get this people...


I went to Sally's and DIDN'T BUY ANY HAIR PRODUCTS!!!!! Can you believe it?? I'm totally in shock right now and kinda proud of myself. PJ demon be gone!
 
NikkiQ You go girl!!!


MY STEAMER IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
