Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[imaginary]

At least I managed to shampoo my hair. But it's gonna have to be an overnight DC tonight.

Even washing my face will be a struggle later

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

You're right his reaction was awesome and cute. He is so loving. He appreciates her and her hair. Awww.

I was also waiting for her to give him a hug...

I big chopped at the tail end of July and at the tail end of every month since I get a surge of new hair growth and I LOVE it. I need to get out of this super short hair stage because I don't like it at all....I want to see hair hanging at least at chin level and I'm on my way.

When the shipping notices start rolling in

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

Ugh I don't think I've ever gotten a sale notice from them...I still purchased because I love the protein strengthener. I got a few other things and used my reward points. I think they use the rewards program in lieu of sales.

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.

@YaniraNaturally, ugh I feel your pain! My one and only attempt at Bantu Knots was on wet hair and I thought I was going to have to cut my hair to get the tangles and knots out...it was a hot-a-mess! I vowed never again...even on straight hair I'm too traumatized to try.

I will never do it on wet hair again either. It comes out nice on straight hair but I only do 4 vs the 12 I did for my wet set. I'm going to see what I can do with it this afternoon. I have a big meeting on Monday and a busy Sunday so my hair needs to get right before tonight.

Sadly, I just made that switch.

I just got frustrated with it all and bought 16 oz Aphogee 2 Min Keratin and 16 oz Aphogee 2 Step (with a spray bottle for application). They both work fine for me and came in at $25 with the sale.

I'll trial these for the year instead.

I have both of those in my rotation as well. I tend to use the 2-minute more than the hard protein because it's so messy.

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.

It's around 32°C where I live, shea butter always has a very soft texture.
I rub it between my hands and use it on my ends to seal. HTH

Thanks for sharing. Loved it. DH did NOT think it was funny at all.

I need to subscribe. Our hair looks the same way when wet, though mine dries more cottony than it seems hers does.

 

[Bad&Bougee]

I'm starting to think my protective style from 2 weeks ago wasn't so protecting. I loss way more hair on the wash/DC last week with a protective style than I did this week with a
rollerset.

I'm going to do one more week and see what happens. Although, I am proud of the improvement.

Never used it but my friend girl can't live without it! Her twist always look moist and springy.

Yeah I’m using it on my DD. I stopped to start dinner and give her a break. I’m putting in some flat twists in the front and some two strand twists in the back. I did one half of her head, and the twists look really good so far. It can get pretty sticky, so I do have to keep spraying with water. They look really plump and shiny as well. Hopefully MC sticks with this. It shall become a staple for us.

This was so sweet. sniff sniff.



Okay. I'm done with videos after this one (LOL)

So, today I decided to see how far my hair stretches. I made it to full MBL and two inches away from WL. In a few months (when I'm actually WL) I will post pictures for opinions to make sure that I'm not nuts. My hair is at my first back roll already. And I know my back fat like the back of my hand...that first roll is definitely full MBL.

Cant wait to see pictures!

I found another leave in spray in my stash! Yay! It's basically full, so it should last me until next February or March. I gotta stretch my oil too. If I run out, I'll just D.I.Y.

What leave-in?

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

APB Moisturizing Leave in Spray.

 

[curlyTisME]

Washed my own hair for the first time in months. I miss my curls and think I will be rocking them for a while. I also want to get back to PSing. I feel burnt out on hair salons and stylists.

 

[Evolving78]

APB Moisturizing Leave in Spray.

I found one in my stash too. It’s a cheapie one from Palmers olive oil-castor Oil Leave-in spray. I used DE HCO leave-in and my Keracare leave-in cream today too. I used all three today. Two during my detangling process after I (drumroll) cowashed, then after I dried under my dryer, I applied the Palmers and CON straight from Eden repair oil. I used my spin pins to bun my hair.

Thank you, I can't wait either! I will be gazing at them for hours just to make sure it's not a dream.
