Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I just started taking Itworks hair, skin, nail vitamins. I'm hoping for a growth spurt. I took Purvana max for years, so maybe my body is just used to it now.

Prettymetty,
How are the ItWorks vitamins working for you, thus far? I've been hesitating to try them due to the cost.

TIA!
 
Hello, yes, I would like to admit to being addicted to trimming my hair. :cry3:

I sat down and started a search and destroy on the front of my hair which led to a full search and destroy and dusting session. That'd be fine and dandy, but my hair is in twists. So after I search and destroyed each section I just had to trim the (healthy) ends of the twists to keep them full and even all the way down.

I cut off half an inch all over. When was the last time I trimmed? July. Before that? June.

I am literally cutting off all my progress. What is wrong with me
 
I wish I knew how to style baby hairs. I never bothered because my edges are naturally thin. My box braids are two weeks old and my edges are full of curly coils. Molding baby hair in place would come in handy right about now.

I do that too. I need to have blunt ends and I have OCD tendencies about prevention.
 
My cousin visited me for a few days and I was looking forward to giving her a bunch of products, but she only had a carry on bag so...my stash still overfloweth. I haven't bought nary a conditioner, shampoo, leave in, moisturizer, balm, pomade, etc. this year and I STILL have too much. So glad my PJ days are behind me because this is ridiculous.
 
Holy Grail combo: Hair Dew + Jojoba Oil + CRN Almond Jai

I had my hair in a twisted bun since wash day (Saturday or Sunday) and spritzed my ends daily but didn't do anything else. I took my hair down today to put it in a cute bun for an interview tomorrow. My hair was super moisturized, stretched, and defined. My bun is juicy.

GL on your interview tomorrow! :)
 
I love ION hard water shampoo! The fact that I used the shampoo (lathered 2x) was telling! I used it, then used a non sulfate, used it again, then used a moisturizing sulfate. My hair must have had so much buildup! My hair didn't feel hard, rough, or stripped either.
Does anyone like any of their other shampoos and conditioners? I like their hair color products.

Lol I love their shampoos. I need to get my other half of bottle from my mom since I'm honestly never purchasing again. I've move on to Qhemet and Mane Choice
 
I straightened my hair for a special occasion last week and I made sure to use both the redken heat protectant and the chi serum. I washed this week and noticed I have MAJOR heat damage all along my ends. Like 3 inches of just completely straight hair on my ends. I have to cut all of that off and I'm so heartbroken. Been growing my hair for 4 years and it's still not as long or as full as so many others I've seen who've been growing their hair out that long. I'm just so frustrated with 4a/4b black hair.
 
I aways get a lot of compliments on my hair and people assume It's a texture thing. Let me just say this, it doesn't matter what texture you have, if you keep your hair moistured and SHAPED it will be fly. I've seen it a thousand times and I'm can testify to my own. It's not half way as cute when it's not shaped up.

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:

Can you link to the oil rinse thread?? As well as sharpened's advice? My computer died recently and searching on my phone on LHCF is so frustrating.
 
I need some good scissors. Those cheap bss scissors don't seem to trim good on my hair. Problem is, I don't know what kind of scissors to get.

Also I tried leaving conditioner on my ends (not bad, gotta try again) . That was once like three or four weeks ago. I've been wearing two buns (top of my head like Mickey Mouse, sides of my head by my ears, and low buns) with a tendril on each side. This style has become my relaxed hair's equivalent of a "puff" aka my go-to style when I don't do anything else to my hair. But now I need to find another go-to style because I don't wanna stress my ends out too much. I'm spoiled by my 2 minute hairstyle though.
