Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

shortdub78 said:
I have some hidden hair loss in the crown area. I have hair sprouting back in that area, and when my hair is flat ironed, it’s easy to cover.
I have done a lot of things to my hair, but I manage to keep it on my head for the most part. I deep condition like crazy.
I bleached my hair last year when I was natural. Once I decided to go back to a relaxer, I used a demi permanent color, but it didn’t take very well. I have also switched from lye to no lye. The last straw was when I used a smoothing system that caused irritation and made my hair fall out in the crown area. It also left some weird coating. Since I wash my hair a lot, I was able to get that removed. Oh and I had to get a water filter since the water here was causing major dryness and making my hair porous. I told her all of this and she was like we need to cut it. I have never been attached to hair, but I don’t see why I need a drastic cut?
I know stylists don’t like to have to deal with and baby somebody else’s mistakes and they like their work to look a certain way. I’m just not ready.

This sounds more like you have to baby PARTS of your hair. I don't see why you'd need to trouble the rest of your hair just yet. Maybe do some reparative treatments like olaplex and protein and then reevaluate in 2 months? If you really need t do a cut then that would be plenty obvious within that timeframe.

I agree! I will look into getting a hold of Olaplex.
 
I bought some Mane and Tail products several days ago, out of desperation. I wonder if I should just return them? I will keep the carrot oil Creme.
 
This mail carrier almost got karate chopped. Was trying to slide off my street with 3 packages for me in her van. No ma'am. Do you not realize I will jump in my car and chase you down? Talking bout "I knocked". Yeah you did. Empty handed for 2.2 seconds.

With all that being said, got my hair from Sams beauty and my order from SSI that they kept playing around with.

I wonder what would happen if I added MSM to all my hair products....

Wow, weird that you posted this just now! I was just reading about this and am considering scooping out some RO conditioner and adding some MSM to test it on a small section of my "undercarriage" hair. I believe I would first create an MSM paste by mixing it with a little water, then add it to the RO conditioner and mix it well to distribute it well.

Great minds think alike! I was thinking of doing EXACTLY the same thing!

In real life I would love to do an "Adora's Routine Challenge".

.Use activator
.Use grease to seal ends,
.No straightening,
.No flat ironing,
.100% of the time protective style
.No Manipulation.
.DC Bi-weekly.



But... LOL

That's basically my regimen too...The only difference is I don't use juice, I use A liquid moisturizer by mane choice. Oh, and I do low manipulation (small twist) instead of 100% protective styling.

@PJaye and @IDareT'sHair, Hi ladies! Do any of the cleaning conditioners you both use lather? If so, which ones? Thank you!

No, the ones I use don't lather and I prefer it that way (for me, lather = stripped and tangled). The only cleanser I can recall that has a lather is the CRN Ginger Rinse, but be careful with that one because it's Defcon 2 with respect to stripping. If you want mild cleansing with a lather, try Silk Dreams Go Moist Shampoo, African Pride Shea Butter Shampoo or Profectiv Neutralizing Mousse. While they're not cleansing conditioners, they will clean the hair and leave it soft and moist. OK, that was an unnecessarily long-winded reply, so I'll stop now.

Thanks so much for replying @PJaye! That CRN Sweet Ginger stripped and tangled the living daylights out of my hair! I’ll try those you recommend. Thanks again!
