Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I feel myself getting length obsessed again and I don't like it. Every time I see that I have more length, I think about it all day. Then I start fantasizing about myself with long fluffy hair wearing a summer dress holding hands with an imaginary SO that looks kinda like Darious Lovehall from the movie "Love Jones."

If I can just refocus that energy toward working out and eating right! No more length checks until June,5 2018.
 
I can make a struggle ponytail :lol:. My 1-year-post BC will be on 2/2. The old me wants to straighten but I’m too afraid of heat damage this go round. It feels great to look at your hair and see no straight or super loose strands.

I was gonna use some leftover crochet hair to make a faux bun, but I left my hair mighty dry the past 1.5 weeks, so I don’t think I deserve it :look: :lol:. Back to pinned up twists I go :cry:

Did LCO method using a thin creamy leave in, a heavy cream, and sealed with JBCO. My hair actually likes this! Feels moisturized despite the frigid temps.

I really need to get some more of that DevaCurl shampoo. I know there are folks who don't like it but my hair loves it for some reason.
 
:bangdesk:Wow...I really need an off topics "random thought" because some men are just nasty... I'm sorry. Next time I will keep a look out for unexpected hugs!!!!! I'm disgusted in many ways right now.

ETA: 5 minutes later. I'm over it. Vengeance is the Lord's. The devil works through some people just to destroy and steel your joy. He did not win today.

I bought the Mielle Organics Avocado moisturizer and LOVE it.. Honestly this isa game changer for me as I have been on the hunt for a solid moisturizer that I can get on ground in the stores for YEARS.

At Target I noticed that there are 2 versions of the moisturizer...
One with a green label and the other with a yellow label.. different ingredients.

I bought the one that my sister was raving about (yellow option #1 below), and now I am wondering if I should stock up due to the change / reformulation.

I hate that companies do this.

What ingredients are different? Also, Mielle has removed the "Organics" from their labeling. The one with the yellow appears to be the newer formulation/packaging.

Oooh so I am just seeing that (no organic listed under Mielle). I have the non organic one. It has been working, so I am ok then since this is the new formulation. The label still lists at the bottom of the ingredients list: *certified organic ingredients

Here are the ingredients on Sallys.com (does not match my bottle):

Water(aqua), natural aloe vera gel, vegetable glycerin, organic avocado oil, cetyl esters, behentrimonium methosulfate, rice oil, caprylic/capric triglycerides, yarrow, sage, horsetail, nettle and lavendar leaf extracts, hydroxypropyltrimonium honey cetearyl alcohol, d-pantenol (vitamin B5), hydroloyzed wheat protein, cetyl alcohol, certified organic jojoba oil, polyquaternum-7, phenoxyethanol, natural (phthalate-free)fragrance.

Vs my label:

Ingredients: Aqua (water), Aloe Barbadensis Leave Juice * (Decolorized), Glycerin, Persea Gratissima (Organic Avocado) oil, Behentromonium Methosulfate, Cetyl Alcohol, Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides, Cetyl Esters, Cetearyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Polyquaternium-7, Fragrance (Parfum), Hydroxpropyltrimonium Honey, Panthenol, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis *(Organic Jojoba) Seed Oil, Hydroloyzed Wheat Protein, *Achiellea Millefolium(Yarrow) Extract, *Urtica Dioica(Nettle) Leaf Extract, *Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Extract, *Equisetum Arvense (Horsetail) Extract, *Lavandula Angustifolia( Lavendar) Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract, Benzoic Acid, Ethylhexylglycerine, Glyereth-2 Cocoate.
*CERTIFIED ORGANIC INGREDIENTS
 
Ok I placed another order. Had to switch to megabeautymart . com, because the crochet braids I wanted sold out. At least I got what I wanted. I think. Let's just hope I don't run into any issues with this company. I'm so wary, but I literally could not find this hair anywhere at a reasonable price.:nervous2:
 
Anyone try Qhemet Biologics' Castor & Amla Nourishing Pomade?

I just finished detangling my hair to wash it and omg my hair feels like butta right now. It is sooo silky soft and shiny. It looks like some yaki hair. I know it was the shea butter. I can tell the neutral protein filler and shea butter are hair game changers. So glad I decided to try shea butter again. It also made my hair way easier to detangle when I was putting my dry twists in after last wks wash. It actually gave my dry hair slip even though I applied it to wet hair and let it dry b4 combing.
 
I don't think I have 4C hair anymore. I think I am 4B/4A. Or maybe all this moisturization, sealing and keeping hair twisted and pinned makes my hair appear looser. I truly don't know my hair. As its getting longer its looking a bit different? The hair in my crowns looks wavy. My hair gets looser when sprayed with water. my edges are "ride or die" 4C. My nape is extra 4A. When it's wet it looks cottony and extra fluffy. I don't know.

Oh and I have come to the conclusion that my hair is not THICK its medium thick, but appears supper thick when air hits it. I can't classify natural hair.:ohwell::lock:

I have thrown my hands up and thrown in the towel when it comes to hair typing. I don't think it's conducive to hair growth to be honest. You are are doing what works for your hair and it's long and healthy.
