Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[YvetteWithJoy]

In retrospect, it was not the BEST idea to use new products and new techniques today, given the pending hair meet up this afternoon.

They may think I need a natural hair intervention.

However, I can't miss this event! It's a product swap, and this is what I've been waiting for! Byyyyeeeeeeee all of you not-for-me products junking up my closet!

I was ready to purchase a sample of Type 4 Creme. I was surprised at the offer of free shipping.

Then juuuuuuuuust before I checked out, the site said it needed to make an adjustment to reflect my address: Shipping is minimally $8.95.

Hm.

There is a nice downpour happening right now. I want to wet my hair in it, but I did my hair yesterday. Am I the only freak who loves rainwater? Maybe I will collect some... nah.

Do it! Do it! Rainwater makes my hair so soft.

I was going to buy some more Type 4 Hair Cream (use it for sealing ends of twists, just ran out) and the same thing happened. Read the fine print and apparently you have to buy $50 worth of those eligible products to get free shipping.

Was getting ready to buy it and pay shipping and the website started glitching. They lost a sale/customer.

Their website is always glitching. That's why I quit with the actual site

Okay, so it wasn't just me! Thanks for posting this.

Well, while Little Man is in morning classes, I'm going to run by the black-owned BSS and see if she has it. If not, I'll pass for now. The discussions about it at LHCF make me think it might be good for my hair.

Where do you get it from? I wouldn't mind buying it if I don't have to deal with that.

It's a really nice product and a little goes a long way. I just wish they would sort out the site.

Would it work as a twisting cream for the entire shaft of the hair? Or is it better just on the ends only? TIA.

I've used it on the entire shaft and it works well. The onle issue you may have is that it's very heavy. It smoothes your hair down well but may be a little greasy for your taste (it is for mine). For reference, smoothing it on my ends holds them straight.

I hate when I order something and get sent tracking information but two days later, its still in the pre shipment phase

It's been almost a week and I still havent finished up the last of my braids. At least I know my hair is growing with this style. I just have to alter my technique for how I install hair along my hairline.

Curlmart or Hattache

There was a meet up? an LHCF one?

 

[guyaneseyankee]

I said I was going to stay with "natural" hair products, why am I buying these commercial products?

There was a Dallas non-LHCF meet up. I'm just now leaving.

The organizer accidentally set it for July 13 but meant August 13. Sigh. I should have known.

Two of 8 of us showed up. I was only able to unload a little.

At least all my desired give aways are now in one box.

Because you're probably a product junkie lol

I see.....

On damp hair, I applied leave-in, then sealed with butter, then applied styling cream: LBC.

I saw this sequence on the Natty Naturals website. I like it so far!

 

[Nightingale]

I'm going to start styling my hair into 2 braids instead of my usual 5-8 braids. It will be faster to moisturize and rebraid, they are more wearable, and I'm more likely to wear braidout ponytails/updos rather than full braidouts.

Another picture, another triangle head... and after I let that woman cut my hair. Fix it, Jesus.

Aw I like it!! It looks like my hair- triangle shape and all haha. I think it looks nice on you. It's rounded a bit on the sides so it's not too too geometric

Aww you and your hair look pretty. It looks so touchably soft.

That's sounds like a nice combination.
I have never tried creams or butters. I'm thinking of a way that I actually could use them
But if it isn't broke, there's nothing to fix.

Oh I just want some Ice Cream and pound cake! ..sorry, you mentioned cream and butter and I went nuts.

Thinking out loud.

You know the part in Forest Gump when he said "I think I'm done running now, I'm getting....a little tired" He said somethin like that. Well I felt like that after I saw I reached MBL .

Don't get me wrong, I'm not done growing it, but I can chill now. I'm done pulling it down In the back holding up a mirror to see behind me in the other mirror. SO, Ok Its long now whooptie-doo. I'm in the ("girl all that's your hair?")club. Blah blah.

Maybe now I can focus more on my eatting habit. .try ta manage THAT.

 

[KinksAndInk]

So I think I might actually like this Madam CJ Walker twist cream...a lot.
