Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[KinksAndInk]

All these last minute sale details and top secret sales are working my nerves. Either you want my coins or you don’t. Keep playing and the coins set aside for you will be in somebody else’s pocket. I guess folks still don’t realize that they can and will be replaced.

I used Adore semi perm rinse (the one to cover grey) in jet black.. my hair looks natural black now. I don’t think I could ever get my hair jet black without using permanent hair color.

This! I had to vote Kindred Butters off the island. She hasn't restocked in over three days. She blew it.

Happy Thanksgiving ladies!!


I'm all late saying it....

When vendors answer questions and restock items on the holiday. That's good customer service right there. Let me find some extra coins for KindredButters.

Just took down my second set of box braids and I am quite happy with the growth and length retention I have experienced. I will be wearing wigs for the rest of the winter.

In search of a good quality bonnet, preferably made out of silk with a satin finish versus the polyester bonnets (with satin finish) that can be found in beauty supply stores. Any suggestions?

Pretty Anntoinet's on Etsy sells 100% silk scarves and bonnets. Kinda pricey though .

Edit: I always spell her name wrong smh lol

My routine as a relaxed head is super simple and consistent:
- Wash every two weeks
- DC with steam
- Roller set and wrap
- After 4 days, spritz Xcel 21 every day. I use Scurl and shea butter to moisturize. I have found that shea butter maintains moisture better than vaseline for me (thanks @Chicoro)
- I mostly bun
- I wear a silk scarf every single night. This makes a huge difference in the level of moisture / breakage.

All this mystery and "biggest sale of the year" nonsense and you give up 25%? Twenty. Five. Percent. I guess...

 

[LushLox]

Yeah BF certainly isn’t what it was, very underwhelming.

I'm tired of these cheap Beauty Supply store bonnets. Every time I take it off I hear my strands snapping, because they're being caught in the threading. I have so many little pieces of short hairs. I actually did some research and realized it wasn't all in my head. I've been in denial for years. SMH

There is one brand you can buy on the ground. It’s called Evolve. You can get them from Walmart, or target. I have a nice black and white one. It’s about $6-$8? Check it out so you can have something now.

Y'all.....several companies that I want to order from are in my own state; with that said, I cannot move myself to pay $7-8 and up in shipping in my own town. Shipping fees equate the cost of a whole other product. I am so irritated right now.

(And no, they do not have the option for me to pick up, I asked.)

I still have mine too. I wear it under my baseball hat at work.

That's some tomfoolery. They really gonna make you pay for shipping when you could easily swoop by and pick it up?

When I tell you I am so frustrated! And I really want to support local and small businesses because that's the only they will be able to grow but at the same time, let's be real guys. We can meet up at a spot for one afternoon or morning and do a pick up of orders. They did say that they will work on setting up pop up shops soon.

The other one is found at some local BSS but then I miss the Black Friday deal....so i would have to pay shipping to get the black Friday deal for vendors in my own city.

 

[Smiley79]

I didn't do Black Friday last year and now I see why. I can't be bothered; it's not for me.

They have a set shipping price? I understand why though. It’s stuff being an online vendor.

Yea I understand.

 

[Smiley79]

From now on, I think I will go through Hattache and just pay one shipping.

So bouncy curls, natural oasis, and curls have let me down this BF.

I've been prepping to do Bantu Knots on wet hair for a week or two. Wednesday I washed, conditioner and combed out my hair. Thursday I put the BK's in and sat under the dryer on low for 2 hours. This morning before work some knots were still wet inside so I sat under the dryer on medium for 1.5 hour. Let them cool and then unraveled to a HOT MESS.

First my HL/TBL hair is resting on my shoulders. It's also somehow still not dry, wonky and somewhat tangled. I just had to pull it back in a bun and KIM. What a waste of time

Back to doing them on straight hair.

If Komaza doesn't come through with a sale it will be hard not to choose Green Beauty protein over hers.

How do you use it? I have a small tub of yellow shea butter that's sort of rock hard at room temperature and I'm not sure what to do with it.

I'm 3 minutes into this prank video and I thought I would share it with y'all. Her husband's reaction is gold.
