Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

HUH? LOL

LOL. Yes: I have 3 very strong reasons besides encouragement from this forum.

1. A random lady at a black-owned beauty supply store went on and on about how to grow back edges with Curl Activator. She SWORE by it. I totally forgot about that. I posted about it in this thread when it happened.

2. Chime Edwards on YT used what I now realize is basically a DIY curl activator. She retains like crazy!!! I tried her recipe once. It was too sticky for my tastes. That's why I abandoned it.

3. When a teen, I used some kind of Jheri curl spray (I had some kind of chemical style called something like a wave nouveau or something -- I can't remember!). Anyway, my hair was SUPER thick and moisturized. Retention was NOT a problem. I had forgotten all about it!

Yep. I feel like I'm going to end up with a glycerin-laden CurlyProvebz Ayurvedic Hair Tea as my DIY curl activator. I'm hype.
 
I was excited that my Sally's order came in today...until I opened the box and there was As I Am coconut cowash all over everything except for the container it belonged in. They literally placed the products in a box with paper covering them and dassit. No bubble wrap or anything. Come on Sally's. You know better.
 
I think that X21 is thickening my hair up. Also I need to find some more of the old Wetline Xtreme Gel. My hair is so soft, even with me adding the Wetline gel. I stretched my oil mixture with grapeseed oil and JBCO. For some reason I can't find my APB Oil, so I guess it's this for now. I had to add some more X21 cream and liquid to my squeeze bottle. Annd, I added 6 drops of peppermint oil to the mix. Gives it a nice tingly feeling. Gotta remember to buy more Ors Aloe Shampoo.

Man this truely was random, but I had to get it all out before I forgot :lachen:

Wow, Sally’s usually does way better than that. My stuff always came in bubble wrap and the tops taped down. Definitely slacking.
 
DH - Send me links to stuff you want for Xmas.

Me - Mmkay. (sends links)

DH - I don't understand one of the things you want.

Me - Oh did I send the wrong link to something?

DH - I dunno, it's just coming to a page with a shower cap.

Me - :look: No, it's a Shhhowercap.

DH - :look: A shower cap, like from Target?

Me - :look: No, a Shhhowercap.

DH - :look:

Me - :look:

DH - Okay, which color.

:lachen: :lachen: :lachen: :lachen:

Mielle Organics Cowash was a fail for me. It was too light, no slip and I would have to use 1/4 to 1/2 of the bottle to feel like my hair was clean. I never take anything back but this is going back to Sally's.

I don't know what it is, but I can't get any of Mielle Organics products to work for me. I'm scared to try anything else of hers/theirs now.
 
I finally caved in and put in some box braids last night. I used the rubber band method, and it was much quicker than usual braiding, but the parting took me some time because I usually don't care about the hidden parts :look: I'll keep them in for 3-4 weeks, then take a month off. By then, I should hit my 1-year anniversary from my BC :smile:

I did an ACV rinse then shampooed the hair the night before and wanted to speed up the drying process. Pro tip: don't be lazy and put the hair in the dryer unit :look:
 
Me: Lemme run something by you real quick.
DH: Okay.
Me: So, you know how during Black Friday I try to take advantage of hair products sales . . .
DH: Wait, is this about you trying to buy another hair product?
Me: Well . . . just listen. This is about deep conditioner. I don't have a lot of deep conditioner, because I have a hard time finding one that works for me.
DH: So that's a yes. This is about a hair product.
Me: Just bear with me. See, Hairveda had a great, great sale, and I held back and did not get the deep conditioner set because, like I said, most deep conditioners just don't work for me.
DH: Mm hmm.
Me: But I just recently found out that this deep conditioner set might COULD work for me. And . . .
DH: From whom? Someone you trust who has hair with your hair's characteristics?
Me: Well, no, her hair isn't like mine but . . .
DH: You're not going to listen to what I think, so I don't need to listen any further.
Me: No, see that's where you're wrong. I really want your input. See, that sale is . . .
DH: You can't just keep buying hair products, Yvette.
Me: *blink blink*
DH: You can't.
Me: *blink blink*
DH: (sigh) How much does it cost?
