Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I lost my soft wide headband that I've been using for like ten years :cry3:. I brought it with me from home when I moved upstate to get married. Actually I had two of them but one tore and I just recently threw it out. It had better turn up :mad:. I hate losing things and this is just sad beause I've had it so long.
I bought it at Filene's Basement near where I lived and that store is gone too :(. Depressing.
 
@Chicoro, I was doing a search of the forum to try to find out what prepoo folks are using and liking, and the "chicoro prepoo" and "chicoro prepoo method" came up often. :smile:

I tried finding out about it, but after reading many pages, I don't see the details.

Can you provide me a link about it?

Thanks in advance!

:lachen::lachen::lachen: I think I'm gonna have tacos for dinner. I had like 4 tamales and I'm still hungry :look: Probably cause they were cheese and not chicken lol. And I'm at work waiting to clock in. My stomach's like "is that all you got?":cry3:
 
Oh.....ehum.... "back to the topic of hair" someone whispered.

Ok I'm bored with my hair today. I have it in two chunky flat twists one on each side looking like "The Color Purple" today. My hair is thriving!

I have not flat ironed or blow dried my hair in ummmm 26 months. I think I'll give all my heat tools to my sister. Its way to risky to flat iron.

All it takes is ONE TIME to get heat damage. ONE TIME.

It takes so long to do one part on natural hair sometimes. I can't just grab a comb and part my hair, I gotta inch it.
Part an inch, separate, inch down the same part, separate, inch one-mo-gin and separate and then will I have one complete part.

My hair hates to be parted.

My hair hates direct heat, even back in the day - reverse splits galore! I will try roller setting.

I only part my hair when it is soaking wet. I ain't in that fight.
 
You wonna know how the Nair got me? I'm sorry...I mean do you want to know how the relaxer got me? It got me when I was THIS LENGTH RIGHT HEEER, MBL.

That jive Turkey said..."hey lil woman! All that hair and it don't hang down? What you need is this application, this process girl. Don't you want hair like Chilli?" It was all down hill from there.

I Got MBL hair again and it's gonna reach to sky. Its gonna lift its hands up and give praise. No more laying down in a drunken stupor! My hair ain't Lazy, it's excited! It's energized?!

Relaxed ladies ....lol. the relaxer tried to rob me lol. That's all.

I remember when my mom use to get weaves all the time and her hair wouldn't get past shoulder length. Now just from not relaxing she's here with little to no effort.

Her hair is now longer than the weaves she use to wear.

@BronxJazzy she must be thrilled!

Actually she's not really into hair. I'm more excited about her growth than she is. She's been threatening to cut it for a while now. I really don't want her to because I think she looks better with long hair but she says all she can do with it at this length is put it in a pony or leave it out with a headband because it's too heavy to hold a curl the way she likes. I told her we can compromise and cut it back to bra strap:p.

Wouldn't it be the ones that don't care or want length that get it the easiest:rolleyes:.
 
I love love love Discovery Channel Shark Week and always have cuz I'm a huge animal nerd. But this show that's on right now has these two white dudes with the dirtiest looking, stringy nasty "dreads" that are truly dreadful. They look like they smell of B.O. and have critters. :barf: When I had my locs, somehow I kept getting questioned by these hippie wannabe yts (satellite acquaintences) that had "dreads" about whether I get stopped in customs or if I got treated differently by airport security. I told one girl "No because I have locs. You have dreads." before eyeing up her rats nest.

Still pisses me off to this day to see yts with dreads.

Big thanks to @IDareT'sHair for bumping the oil rinse thread. My wash day is actually pretty simple: wash, dc, heavy seal and twist. But that oil rinse!!!!! I will add the step. That really helped :2inlove:

Big thanks to @Sharpened for telling me I was oil rinsing wrong and how to do it correctly. :2inlove:

You're welcome! I wonder if our ancestors knew about this...
 
I feel sad, because I am 23 and literally do not know how to style my own hair outside of blow dryng it. And thus am dependent on someone else styling my hair in some fashion. Whether it is cornrowing it to wear a wig or putting braids in. I've probably damaged my hair so much these past few days in frustration. It actually really depresses me. I guess when my internship is over i will just invest 300+$ to go take a hairstyling course or something. I'm at work in a head wrap...(to be fair I like to keep a consistent image/length so I wouldn't necessarily wear my own hair out). I bought a phony pony yesterday, will try and figure out how to put it on. I have very voluminous hair so we'll see how that works out..

Bwahahaha.

Prior I made like 5 ounces of oil and just poured it on like it was nothing and wondered why my hair was hard. @Sharpened told me I was using too much oil. So I used much less this time and applied oil right after I washed, then used deep conditioner.

After rinsing the conditioner, my hair was softer but still had a little stiffness. Probably the clumping. It was detangling that bomb. The knots and tangles definitely come out easier.

I'm going to keep using it to see how it works long term, because you know the LoPo life :rolleyes: love and hate is daily change.

Get a mannequin and practice roller setting, braiding, twisting, using flexi Rods. Watch some YouTube videos.
