Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Anaisin]

This lady has small box braids in and she did a "growth" update a few days after installing talking about she used her hair growth products.


Umm... I'm pretty sure that's not growth, that's slippage because of the tiny sections of hair she used in comparison to the braid hair. Her entire hairline looks like it's about to fall out. She snatched every little piece of hair and added extensions

I like having edges too much.

So I had a Sally Beauty coupon for a free* product. I got this:

I almost got the buttercream but it had sillicones.

I had my eyes on the CR Lavender gel and refresher mist, but they were $12.99 & $11.99 respectively. The mist has ivy extract; an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant ingredient.

*The product must cost $10 or less.

Dear Summer,

Please go away so that I can try a roller set. We are cool and every thing, and I like how you're helping my hair stay moisturized And I like how your heat is giving me lil growth spurts and everything like that, But your humidity is holding me back.

I don't like how your humidity swiped my lil Lo'real face powder off. I already don't wear makeup and your making sure of that huh. In 50 days I'll be saying happy trails to yooou.

Respectfully,

Adora.

@rileypak, my gently used products are selling!

Do you have tips for how I can best send/sell things to people via PayPal?

Thanks in advance.

Where are you selling these items?

When I got back on FB to participate in a hair growth study, I saw a FB swap group. I joined, not to swap, but to sell. A lot of the people in the group swap, but if you read all the group updates, you learn that selling is now permitted.

Whatever I still have on August 13th is getting donated at a local natural hair swap meet up.

Oh!!, you must mean my humidity touched Bantu knot out in my avatar lol. I tried.

Thank you !!!

I did not know that I would have less tangles if I used coconut oil as a sealer. Hair literally slips out of any knots formed. Wow.

I hardly had knots, but NOW I really won't have any. My hair looks blacker too! I had that coconut oil for about two years just sitting there. What made me open it?......I don't know.

I'm so glad I reached for it.

Don't you just love lightbulb moments? Then you get a little mad like "why didn't I try this a long time ago!"

Every time I feel like my hair isn't growing much, something always shakes me to my senses...

First, my stretched hair is APL-ish.

And now, my puff is big as heck compared to this time last year. Even my friends noticed it!

 

[Royalq]

My hair is so soft right now. My ends feel soft too but are a bit bushy.

 

[Colocha]

That feel when you realize your hair is the same length as your first hair idol (tiajonay 3 years ago) but you never noticed because you just kept getting new idols with longer hair (Efficiently Natural).

I really want to do mini braids with my own hair. But I'm afraid it won't look good or I'll have the patience to do it.

I did them with my own hair when I was natural. It helped so much that I blowdried my hair before I started cause my natural hair was thick. Almost as soon I finished parting, it disappeared. I had to put clips around the parts so I could finish braiding lol. It did take a few days, but if you're a relatively fast braider, it probably won't take you as long as it took me.

I put crotchet braids in my hair for the first time on Thursday and I loved it. Looking forward to perfecting my over all technique over time so I can wear them for two to three weeks at a time.

 

[spacetygrss]

My hair is at such an awkward length. I can't wait to gain a few more inches so that I can put it in a bunch. Patience.

@snoop, thanks!!! I love broccoli seed oil.

It is so sad that I can't tell you because I've never tried a serum and I've never used a product with a great amount of silicone!!! LOL!

I can say that the broccoli seed oil seems to be both absorbing into AND coating my hair . . . it's giving me shine . . . and my hair is soft. I'm excited to use it in a AVJ-B-C-O (aloe Vera juice-butter-cream-oil) twist out.

@Sharpened The bold is the same for me. I don't have anything to compare it to except for other oils.

This is so true! When I focus more on my OWN hair I don't compare.....as much.

So I had a Sally Beauty coupon for a free* product

Why you got one and I didn't?

Why you got one and I didn't?

These memes and this post made me holler out LOUD!!!

 

[Royalq]

I did a braid out on my hair. Put orange perm rods on the ends. I cornrowed (or tried too) and continued to plait. It came out soo pretty. everyone was complimenting me. So sorry for the massive pics. Photobucket has been really annoying lately
ETA: Photobucket took down my pics.

I knew this was coming PJs!

Check your e-mail. If you're a Sally Beauty club Member you should've received it. They've replaced the $5 off reward coupon with a free product under $10 reward for every $50 spent. It expires July 31st.

I am ready for cooler weather so I can get back to my wigs and braids.

@Royalq Photobucket is charging an obscene amount to host pics now.

@Royalq Photobucket is charging an obscene amount to host pics now.

Im still below the free storage limit. Im at about 90%. I want to add more pics but i dont want to pay. Do you know of any other image storing sites?
ETA: dang i didnt even notice they took down my picture. It ws up for a few seconds. This is BS. They've already pissed me off. I had a breast surgery and i took and stored some progress pics of my breasts. My account and albums are private. They took it down on a private album. Im like "why? Nobody can see it but me" they told me some crap about policy. I had deleted those pics off my phone thinking it would store on PB. They are annoying me. I need to transfer all my pics somewhere else and leave photobucket alone.

Imgur, ImgBB, TinyPic and Postimage are still free.

Thank you I think it's probably in the "Promotions" part of my email that I rarely check.
