Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I've used semi perm and regular perm on my hair and I opted for the perm because I wanted color to show.

Semi perm was just a waste of time to me.

Meh, I rather squeeze some lemon juice and sit in the sun. All the mess and fuss of this was just a waste.

QUESTION: Has anyone with a nape significantly shorter than the rest of their hair trimmed it and have seen better retention due to getting rid of splits and raggedy ends?

eco styler gel has saved my pony tails at 9 months post.
things were definitely getting out of hand.

Not at the nape, but I did it with the hair above my ears and it worked.

I was standing behind this lady at a check out line who was full apl and was like wow that's gonna be me very soon!!! It looked sooo long. Apl is a lot of hair to me. I will be apl by year end.

Unless EVERY single strand of hair on your head is at full APL, then it won't feel long

I said the same thing a while ago.
APL feels like a full healthy SL

Thanks for the answer, I was thinking of trimming my hairline at the front, sides, and nape during my next touch up.

JJamiah, I wouldn't mind a standstill if that were my head. Your hair's beautiful and full and looks so healthy. I'll take that.

Just finished cowashing and my hair feels sooo much better. Yesterday I was in a rush and forgot to seal after cowashing (I just moisturized it and threw it in a bun). Needless to say, my hair was very dry afterwards

Why is a patch of my scalp so sore? erplexed

 

[Dreamer48]

I'm annoyed that by the time my hair gets stretched to perfection (without heat), I have to wash it for the week .

I think Joico Intense hydrator is trying to replace my beloved ORS replenishing...I'm going to try the moisture recovery treatment balm next

 

[Tolle]

I am no longer afraid to wash my hair!! Silicon bamboo mix is the freakin best. I'm in love.

What are you guys doing different? Curlybeauty Anakinsmomma

I've been doing scalp massages with a scalp oil four times a week, stopped the protein treatments and bunning for two days to get rid of my hands in hair disorder. Some of the perception is my new growth growing in (but I swear, the thin spots are looking less scalpy!) but my ponytail is feeling thicker too.

Added honey to my deep conditioner, didn't notice a difference. I'll keep my honey in my tea...

Potentially too much manipulation.

Anyone air drying before self-trimming with great results? I want to attempt dusting but didn't want to use heat to flat iron.

Nonie Thanks so much, so positive and sweet

Now if I could have your body you can have my hair LOL!

Gotta research weave. I want good hair without breaking my pockets (College student!!). I need Remy though. Off to go research.

 

[Anonymous1]

i can finally see progress with my edges. I have taken pictures but i'm too ashamed of my old edges to post them. I'm so excited to see hair.

 

[SuchaLady]

Im so new to this weave thing. Where would a 14 inch weave stop on average? Lord let me go search for some threads.

I could never do it. My ends looks so rough when air dried
Thank goodness they are deceiving ..

SuchaLady, about APL.

 

[SuchaLady]

MyAngelEyez~C~U Thanks girl. You know anything about weave caps? I want a full sew in with no hair left out.

SuchaLady, lol, no, I've only worn a weave once in my life (and hated it, can't do weaves or wigs), but just get your standard weave net or cap, the stylist will sew it onto your braided base and trim the excess anyway.

 

[SuchaLady]

MyAngelEyez~C~U Thank you so much! Im trying to do my first stretch I guess you would call it. Going for no relaxer before Christmas wondering if I can make it to Spring Break.

This is the 2nd week I am going to have my hair out and it feels GREAT. Next week will be my 3rd becasue, I will be 6 weeks post and I will be flatiroing to prepare for splitending my hair. I think I am going to be taking a trip up to Sallys to get some new goodies.


I like wearing my hair out shoot I like the attention


I'm sitting under my soft bonnet dryer ready to see my bangin' Caruso set Yeah boy!!!!

 

[Myjourney2009]

I was supposed to be doing my dd's hair every week BUT she liked the style I did last week she was not trying to hear me taking them out.

I kept telling her they look raggedy ( they really dont) but she said NOPE I like this style. I told her okay when your scalp starts flaking up you have to remove the style and wash your own hair. She gave me a crazy look LOL

Tonight I'm in hair mourning. I was planning to dust my ends on air dried hair but I had some breakage while detangling and that was a mood killer. My hair is simply too dense in certain areas and my impatient combing generates breakage every dern time. I will attempt dusting after I flat iron. I don't want to use heat but I'm itching for a trim. I'm nervous but determined. Was considering going to a professional but thought I attempt dusting first and see how that goes. If its an epic fail, I'll then go crawling to Master Cuts.
