Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Finally 30 months natural today. Finally 30 months post relaxer today. I have made it to full MBL in 2 years and a half exactly. Since I am just slightly above 5' tall is a good advantage. Protective styling is a must. keep on with the keeping on....WL I can see you.
MBL in 2.5 years?! *Throws shears in the trash and stocks up on curl activator*:lachen:Congrats on 30 months natural.
 
I guess I just have to accept the fact that I can't wear synthetic hair, even soaking it in acv doesn't work for me. I'll never be able to wear braids or twists:cry3:. Is anybody else like this?

What did it do you. Over the summer I had Marley twists in somehow my scalp got infected or something. Anyway I had this huge bump in my scalp. When I took the braids out all my hair in that braid came out. I had a big ole bald spot.
 
Lmaoooo I had an "I used to have long hair until I decided to cut it off." experience today.

A girl was asking what I do with my hair and I was explaining some things, including the importance of a shower filter and how I use henna.
This other girl butts in and says "You should stop wasting money on henna. Your hair isn't even red."
So I calmly explained to Girl 1 that I use it for conditioning but that in the sun my hair turns red and I showed her a picture.
So Girl 2 started saying how she doesn't use a shower filter and she doesn't spend money on hair products.
Girl 1 and I kind of ignored her and kept discussing things.
Girl 2 butts in again and says "Oh I had long hair but it was too much work so I cut it off."
So I told Girl 1 that I only spend a few hours on my hair a week and that I could recommend some more things if she wanted.
Girl 2 then brought up her "natural hair guru" cousin and started showing us pictures of her cousin's hair and hair stash.
Girl 1 then said politely, "Well I just want to hear what Colocha does because her hair looks very juicy and health."

This young lady's video had me :lachen:

Watch the whole vid- you'll have a good laugh and you won't feel bad about laughing at her.

Oh. My. Gosh. :eek: This came up in my suggested vids just now and I knew I had seen it earlier. Those memes killed me!! And the guy in the background, too! :lachen:
I’m glad she could laugh about it.
 
Some thoughts

What happened to 4b hair? It seems you’re either 4a or 4c now, not seeing as much mention of 4b hair outside of the forum now

What’s up with type 3s claiming 4c

Why are type 3s who claim type 4c so adamant about being type 4c

Why do ppl ask about hair type with blurry photos taken a quarter inch from their scalp

Why do so many Youtubers claim hair regimens like “every Saturday I whip up and apply my cocosheapassionfruit with flakes of unicorn and the freshest Caribbean saltwater as my prepoo, then detangle my 3A curls for 3 days, ooops no I’m actually a 2C imposter, then shampoo, do a hot oil treatment, mud wash, condition with my special conditioner (details in next vid lol lol) deep condition with suave mixed with herbs and spices (sorry guys I can’t remember what I used LOL LOL), soak my hair in banana leaf tea infused with cold brew coffee for 3 days, and then detangle again for 3 hours and use *insert product here* as my leave-in, if you want to try it use my coupon code sjgdjskxjxj” LIKE WHO ACTUALLY DOES THAT

Dont come for me if you feel some kind of way :lol: these are my thoughts as I eat my after dinner cookie :)

I am in tears right now! No lies were told.
 
I think single strand knots are mean thoughts that you either think about yourself when you are in pity mode or evil thoughts people think about you.
Knowledge and Patience with yourself as you undo the knots is the same Patience and Knowledge that takes you out of pity mode and helps you deal with miserable people.

I'm going to bed now.

Facts tho!! Folks will pick out their 3c hair and claim they’re 4c and spend 1/2 a day detangling with their fingers and a sewing needle :drunk::drunk:
 
I’m not doing any update, length check, comparison, etc pic posts until April. I’m not flat ironing my hair, I’m not pulling on nothing, none of that. Lol I have already shown a year’s progress, so it’s pretty much a wrap until next year in the spring. I’m just focusing on retaining my growth, and working on my setback recovery. I will document, so when the time comes. I can share my 4 month progress.
 
Why this White guy ask me, "How often do y'all wash your hair? Once a month?" I told him I wasn't sure but I will take a poll of Project Managers and get back to him :brucelee:

#1 Why are people still asking that question
#2 None of your business
#3 I know my hair is pretty so just say that instead of asking an insulting question and providing your own insulting answer (he's the office clown so that's why I take offense)

I know right!!! @ the bolded. They do all these "special" unnecessary routines! All that's needed to retain hair is a simple cotton picking routine and leave it alone!

What is going on?
 
I'm enjoying my Senegalese twists. They are so low maintenance during this transition. Once I take them out I'll get braids or the same style again, definitely some type of braided style.
I swear on everything, I was just gonna pm you and ask what was going on with you hair-wise! Omg, get out my head! :lachen:
