Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I believe my theory was right. Detangling took 1.5 hours with the Soultanicals Hair Glide as opposed to about 3 after coming out of twists last week. Looks like I will be switching to twistout buns rather than twist buns.

I am also not sure how I feel about Qhemet Biologics. My hair was strong and unbothered today. Saw very few splits detangling and the ones that I did see were very minor. But my hair felt drier than normal too. I will likely use up the three products I have from them and go crawling back to CRN Almond Jai and MHC Type 4 Cream. I do like the Cocoveda from HennaSooq. Still trying to find ways to incorporate more ayurveda, but moisture is important for me.

I'm so done. I'm going back to relaxers. Just cut off most of my length into a bob. Can't wait to get back to my rollersets

Relaxing is fine. :yep: Have you tried being a straight-haired natural?

There's a thread about the ion steam pro straightening brush.

I'm very low-skilled hair-wise and got my hair very straight . . . fast. Hair is moisturized and silky feeling. A YouTuber uses it and then a flat iron. However, I'm going to be doing roller sets and twist-outs on my straightened hair.

My hair is a breeze, my edges see no chemicals, my length is not being slowly eaten up by chemicals, my hair is big/thick, I have no new SSKs, etc.

Check out pics in that thread. You still might want to relax, though, which of course is just fine.

Yes I was a straight haired natural many moons ago. Ive been trying to do that these last few weeks and I would rather not have to deal with worrying
If I have heat damaged hair or not.

I have just come to the point that I no longer desire dealing with my natural hair texture. I dont want to deal with wigs any more either.
 
My hair is fairing pretty good. Pat my self on the back because I sure know how to pamper damaged ends so they won't break off. I'm in nursing school so I have to wear my hair back in a bun. So for the next two years my length retention should be A1. My breakage on my ends have stopped.
I think I'll shampoo and DC every week instead of every 2 weeks and cowash in midway. My hair just feels better when I wash once a week.
 
Tried Obia Naturals Neem & Tea Tree Shampoo Bar today for the first time today, and its a game changer for me..
I've never used a shampoo bar, but got 3 for $20 at a womens conference this weekend, and its definitely a staple!!!

2017 I have 2 staples:
Clay washing and Obia Natural's tea tree and neem shampoo bar.

I bought 2 of the tea tree and neem bars and 1 of the coconut shea bars-- I honestly like the tea tree & neem bar soo much that I don't think I even want to try the other one ... since I'm not a shea fan...** not sure why I bought the shea one at all lol**

Welp I was sposed to be twisting my hair up for the week, but I don't feel like it. So I'm sleeping with this pre-poo in and will do a wash and go tomorrow morning. I plan to be in the gym heavy this week, so I'll most likely cowash mid-week and twist it then.

You should. I'm serious. When I get up close to folks doing their makeup, or a skin care service, I can smell what their house smells like. I also have a very strong sense of smell if that helps. I don't get why people remove hair from body parts due to those holding odor, but will go a long time not washing their hair, saying it doesn't smell like anything. YES IT DOES! Lol

TONIGHT IS WASH NIGHT. I'VE BEEN COOKING FISH.

THANKS.
 
Rethinking through my hair regimen, now that I'm considering using 'cones.

Path A: Try a heat protectant and straightening serum that lack 'cones, and continue cleansing as I have been with the addition of a dry shampoo for weeks that I'm not yet washing.
My issue: Are silicone-lacking protectants and serums as effective? Don't nobody want no heat damage, now.

Path B: Just let it go and get on the silicones--->sulfate bandwagon if I'm gonna do heat straightening. Add dry shampoo for weeks that I'm not yet washing.
My issue: None, I guess, especially if I continue deep conditioning faithfully.

@YvetteWithJoy, or anyone else who wants to answer, when you straighten your hair with heat, do you find that it changes the texture/curl pattern of your hair?

I don't know yet: Once I wash this out, I'll see.

Hopefully others can chime in. Two people have told me that they got no curl pattern change with the straightening tool I'm using, so fingers crossed.

I don't know why I thought you'd straightened your hair before. Sorry - too soon.

No worries. You are right: I straightened my hair once before with another tool and got no change in curl pattern. But I have only straightened my hair these 2 times.

A long time ago I let a stylist straighten my hair a few times. I'm not sure WHAT that did to my hair, but overall I think it was not good for my hair.
 
I have cut my hair into a taper cut, the sides are completely gone (due to lack of edges) and I was really struggling getting a braid out to work but then I did 2 strand twist and it came out really cute. So I believe I found my go to style only products I used were Curls-Blueberry Leave In, Cantu-Curl Activator Crème & Wild Growth Oil
 
Does anyone have the link to the MAIN straight hair(ed) natural(s) thread?

It does not come up when I search. I must be using poor search words.

Thanks in advance.
