Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[imaginary]

You know what would make more sense than a paddle brush blowdryer? Making a paddle brush attachment for blowdryers. What happens when the bristles get all bent out of shape?

I just used my clothing steamer to steam my hair and face, and I feel so pampered right now I also love the rice water spritz I made yesterday-- every time I spray my hair with it, I feel my scalp screaming "YASSSSSSS"

Why do I have mad random straight strands in my hair??? I have lost sooooo much progress thinking those were permed ends still hanging on (and chopping them off) but I transitioned for approx 2 yrs and then got a tapered cut, so...?

This is why I need Komaza! @faithVA

Yeah I haven't seen your hair in a while. You were posting strong then I lost track of you.

I love that feeling! Scalp loves it more than hair does.

I got disgusted and did a personal PS challenge. No, not really, but the straight pieces are annoying, the crown be messing up, and life was busy. Meh. I'm back on it now. I posted some pics recently, in the CP thread. It looks exactly the same as before I cut it, maybe a tad longer... lemme see... here we go!

OMG!!!! That neutral protein filler is awesome!! I mixed it with my normal moisturizing dc and left it on for around 30 min. Then let my hair dry in braids to prepare for twisting. When I took out those braids even though my hair wasn't fully dry it was super defined in the braid pattern. My hair has been having such issues with definition when doing braid outs but this stuff here had the waves popping. That just confirmed my feeling that I needed more protein.

My hair also felt really nice. I love that stuff.

I’m over my hair.

I should be consistently doing something to it but I’m not


Weaning is no darn joke.

Thank you so much @shawnyblazes! You are so kind!

 

[Angel1881]

Today's the day I will put up my profile pic of my hair. I will also join the Luscious Healthy Ends and BSL/MBL challenges. I'm so excited!

Rocking a curly bun today. Think I’ll wash, blow dry, and flat iron again tomorrow. I really enjoyed my straight hair last week.

This is exactly why I want the Phillips ProCare Dryer... that needs a converter to work on this side of the world.

Has anyone used this? How is it?

 

[JosieLynn]

When ppl say they're going "heat free" do they really mean cold turkey? Or just no flat irons?? QTNA

 

[curlyTisME]

Back taking Manetabolism. In the past I never experienced adverse reactions so hopefully I won’t this time around.

@YvetteWithJoy was it you that mentioned Biosilk Rock Hard Gelee?

If it was, have you used it with a wash and go before? I bought some and I really like it for slicking for buns and the roots of twists. The hold honestly is Rock Hard. I'm wondering if a wash and go with it would lock out tangles.

Yes, I mention it every now and then. @Alma Petra recommended it to me. I use it as my edge control now. I'm in love with it.

Please try it for a wash and go and give me advice after you get it right. I tried it once, and I posted pics of it here in some thread somewhere of day 1, 2, etc. I was trying to make 5 days because of how rock hard the hold is.

I got a wash and go I liked, but the hold underwhelmed me given my expectations for it. I didn't try again because it's expensive and I used a whole bunch: I have a lot of hair, density-wise.

I'll try to find the thread.

Yes exactly! Start expanding the attachments for hair dryers. That makes no sense to be charging all that money for the one blowdryer, granted with different parts. But I'm sure they'd make a killing with attachments since they'd cost less to make and are more likely to have people buying it again and again.

I need my wash n go pony tail to get longer. After it dries, it's more like a puff.

Oh. It wasn't for a wash and go; it was for a twist out.

Here's the thread. I have pics on page 1 and page 2 of the thread: https://longhaircareforum.com/threads/i-need-a-gel-that-makes-my-hair-crunchy.825883/

@imaginary I'd be the fool to shell out the cash for it and the replacements too if it were available here.

@YvetteWithJoy thank you!

My heart hurts to spend so much, but you get more options, so it seems like the better choice. I also wonder if the airflow is strong enough or hot/cold enough on them, since that's my main concern with blowdryers.

While googling that one, I saw a cheaper option that was selling through qvc if you have your heart set on it. Calista Style Dryer. It seems to be cheaper on qvc than amazon but I didn't click the link. Oh and there are a whole bunch of knock offs of 7 in 1 dryers on ebay.

Time to go looking at things I do not need.

Got my first wig in the mail yesterday. I look pretty good today if I do say so myself!

Typically means no direct heat - flat irons, blow dryers, hot tools, etc. Indirect heat - hooded dryer for rollersets and deep conditioning, heat caps, steamers - is acceptable.

 

[krissyhair]

Did you ever trim your ends, and afterward think,

"So that's what my natural texture is supposed to look like?"

 

[krissyhair]

Cold turkey!

I rarely use the blow dryer on my hair. Maybe once every 6 or 8 weeks. My hair dries quickly. Especially with the heater on in the house.

Don't you hate when you end up with liters of product that you don't want/can't use? What am I going to do with all this mess? I guess give it away. More money down the drain.
