Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Honey Bee]

LOL! I will go find and bump. I've never had one! I hope it ends up being worth the cost.

I never had one either, but I saw you were getting one.

@ bold, Me too cuz SO really feel like he doing something. Not gon lie, I'm sorta thinking about pushing it back until I have a few months of ayurveda under my belt... decisions, decisions.

I'm definitely waiting until around April 1. I need to collect hair, use the same regimen, take the same vitamins consistently, etc. I'd rather have an analysis based off of that.

Your SO is sweet.

I did, and I'm bout to order some more. I ordered some beautiful, grass fed, everything right, ground lamb and it was bomb. My mother was horrified by the very idea.

eta... and I have a WF right there! Still no.

I had to visit folks yesterday (took 20 minutes to warm the car up), but DH is off on a second errand/grocery run. Hair is staying under bonnet. Sad, longing for 30+ F weather, which, of course means more snow.

The weather is gonna warm up around here next week and we will be getting more snow. It was -5 degrees awhile ago today.

Back to work tomorrow so I need to wash and condition my hair. I have no desire to do so. Off to research some PS.

I don't think you need an analysis. It would really be a waste of money for you. Just my opinion.

I haven't seen your hair in a while. I don't think you need one either. Both of y'all can just send me the money and I will send you back what they are going to tell you

I thought the same thing but wasn't going to say anything..lol.

@YvetteWithJoy why do you think you need one? Do you feel there is much you don't understand about your hair?

Not picking a side either, but I kinda agree. Unless you are stuck with your hair and can’t figure things out (retention, moisture, protein, etc...), if things are working out, I wouldn’t bother.

No . . . I guess I've just always had it on my to-do list. I am very curious about my hair's porosity, though: Several people who review the analysis say that was the most surprising find. I feel like my hair definitely used to be hipo, but doesn't seem to fully act that way anymore. I'm wondering if my hair now has normal porosity.

That's a lot of money to just find out about porosity.

I've had the analysis and it is great if you need it. It was worth the money because my hair was breaking off and extremely hard. I just don't see it's worth for hair that is acting right or even close to right. Just felt I had to speak up and at least give you another view point before you make your decision.

I really, really appreciate it, sis.

I told hubby, "Hm. Maybe I don't need a Komaza analysis and can just put those funds toward my tabletop dryer."
Him: "If some woman on a forum says so, then it's a great idea. But if I had said so, then it would've been, 'Nah, honey, you just don't understand. These are EXPERTS that can give me EXPERT knowledge that I need . . .'"

This was my attempt at straightening back in mid December. It stayed like this for approximately half a day before shrinking up. Hi po don't do straight it seems.

Currently babying my hair to mitigate the resultant breakage. No more than after a usual straightening session.

A table top dryer is definitely a better purchase Since you are saving money and if you have the space, save up for a roll about dryer or whatever it is called.

I see yall cutting up in here.

I really do need help with my crown, tho. It ain't never been right, no matter what I do, and it's always held back my progress. I was hoping that going natural would help. It didn't. So I think I need a professional eye and some advice, cuz this ain't gon make it to MBL. But, like I said, I'm hoping my new reggie will help some.

I always hype my straightening sessions. You’d think I was going to Disneyland. But when it’s all over, my hair is very shortly puffy anyway. And then I spend the whole time wondering what my hair is touching/rubbing on/getting caught in... I used to think I wanted to try that Straight Natural Life. Some of those ladies have me
... exactly 3 days after wearing my puffy straight hair in a voluminous Bantu knot out, I cornrowed it like a champ.
Now I’m thinking, “How did I braid my own hair too tight?” And wondering if I’m too lazy to undo and redo.

Freezing temperatures in North Florida today . I've never been the type to wear bonnets outside but I think I'm going to wear one under a skull cap or head wrap if I leave the house today.

 

[curlyTisME]

Did my WnG lastnight so I didn't have to go out in the cold with wet hair! Win!

 

[Sharpened]

I got to find another way to put my hair away at night, preferably with little manipulation.

How bad is it?

 

[Honey Bee]

How bad is it?

A good 3-4"shorter than the rest. I looked this morning when I was washing- it prolly ain't as raggedy as I thought. But still. How am I to grow my hair out when there are literally levels to this ish?! I don't understand. Once it dries, I'll trim a lil bit and take pics.

I wish they made dupes for the barrel curlformers.

Are you in the crown challenge?

I won’t lie, the crown is hard. Mine also grows slower. After 4 years, my crown is only at BSL. I gave up it’s healthy; that’s all that matters. As I say that, I taste so much salt in my mouth

I will. I'm working on my reggie. (ie, I just started sealing! Don't laugh. )

 

[SmilingElephant]

Soooo...this month makes me 7 years natural (post big chop)

I'm still not completely happy with it, lol! I mean I love it, but I want more from it. I want to try to make it thicker, it doesn't look like 7 years of natural hair to me until I straighten it, and I just want to be Tailbone length already!

 

[Sharpened]

One cm to go until my ends in the back touch the top of my bra strap. Hurry up!

Out of ylang ylang EO... Crisis! Panic! eBay!

I actually contemplated putting Vaseline on my ends. Face may not like it.

Flippin' 9°, feels like -1°, really...

 

[beingofserenity]

I really hate a lot of product in my hair. It does nothing for me. Just leaves my hair greasy and stiff, dry and stiff, or flaky and stiff. I had to co wash the front half of my hair (too lazy to do the whole thing lol) because the gel I used was flaking badly, like every gel I use.

All I put in my hair was like a third of a dime sized amount of hair serum to blow it out and it came out great, actually a bit greasy which is fine since it's so cold.

I want to return that leave-in that I bought from Sallys the other day. I feel like I need nothing else besides a hair serum in my hair. It moisturizes, detangles, etc. I love cones!!! The best thing ever for my hair.

And I hope to really simplify my regimen and products. No more gel, no more edge tamers, no more leave ins. They just leave my hair gunky or dry. I don't think I will be purchasing any of that in 2018. I'll just use up what I already have. I'd love to only use 5 products, including shampoo and conditioner.

It has been 10 days since the last time I've washed and DC'ed my hair, but it ain't happening until the high temp reaches at least 50 degrees. I will just keep refreshing and bamming it back down into these two braids until things thaw out.
