Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Rocky91]

I'm about to do something kinda crazy but oh well I want to flatiron and get a trim but then I want to do a braidout for the rest of the weekend. Might do both today.

 

[FadingDelilah]

My hair has been sitting contentedly for a few weeks now. I guess what I'm using is really working. But unfortunately I still have the thinning and inflammation in my crown and I don't know what to do about it. I used some Vitamin E on my areas that were bothering me last night and it instantly soothed them, but I haven't been doing it long enough to see if it can fix things.

Fingers crossed it helps.

Hey Senoritas!

Should there be a "NO Stylist" Challenge? Seeing as some of them cannot be trusted. Let us learn 100% to depend on God and the mind and hands he has given us? What do y'all think?

I only detangled half of my head today. Laziness is a disgrace.

 

[I Am So Blessed]

OK OK OK *claps hands and jog in place* I'm ready to detangle the other side. "Let's go!!"

I wish I could deactivate that part of my brain. Howeverrrr, it’s that same laziness that makes me 86 days past my last relaxer

 

[I Am So Blessed]

Done detangling.
Wash day tomorrow. Then on too Bantu knoting.

Got my Wild growth hair oil.

Got my grease and Shea Butter.

Am I still Lazy? You bet..

 

[keranikki]

I will go back to using my wild growth hair oil. I just watched a video about lice. HECK NO! No lice ova here!! (She was BLACK)


NO FEAR.

I'm sorry, that was 3c hair so I'm safe

What does this mean Sis? Dirty is dirty no matter your hair type.

See I would....but the way my coloring skills are set up....I need my stylist. She hasn't done me wrong yet.

I went to see Black Panther on Friday and let me tell y'all I was so close to balding my head after that. I was in the mirror evaluating my angles. Only thing that stopped me is my face is too chubby for that.

I'm being lazy with my hair and I am thankful for my head wraps. I love that I can look so put together while putting forth minimal effort.

That being said, I need some more solid color head wraps. I have a lot of prints (which I love) but they can be difficult to match sometimes.

Can you show us some of the wraps and the way you wrap them? TIA

Here are just a few ways.....I have quite a few head wraps and my collection is growing!!!

Every time I pre-poo with fenugreek, someone around me always comments that they smell maple syrup or pancakes . I don’t smell it, and I just pretend to be oblivious to what they are smelling.

I had a horrible hair dream. Here it goes:

I was at some festival out doors. I had very long butt length freeform locks. I while walking through the festival and crowds I wanted so badly to have loose natural hair with a strong desire to big chop. So I start chopping. When one of the freeforms was being chopped off I felt extremely sad to have to start over again on the verge of tears. As the first loc fell to the ground it was an aloe Vera leaf. Next loc an aloe Vera leaf and so on and so on. I reach up to feel my new hair. I look at my hands and MAGGOTS! I looked down in disgust and horror a pile of aloe Vera leaves with baby MAGGOTS and eggs. End of dream.

I woke up still safe in my bed relieved. The sun from my bedroom skylight blinding me. I roll over and fall back to sleep after thinking for a few minutes. I'm sleep again.

Be wary of the people around you in the upcoming weeks. Someone doesn't wish you well and they are starting to garner a crowd.

There have only been 2 or 3 times when I've been as tired of my hair as I am today. I've big chopped every time it got to this point but I talked myself out of it this time... somehow. Somebody switch with me please.

My hair loves to just change its mind about liking products and I'm so tired of my hair feeling like crap and breaking! It's matted, thinning in parts, dry as can be and dull, dull, dull. I'm getting to the point where the texture is just irking me for so many reasons and I want to just shave it all off again, bleach it platinum and just rock that look for life because this hair growing thing is not working and its been years now!

I feel your pain. My hair's temperamental attitude is the reason why I'm such a PJ. Now I will say, since I got on the Shea butter train, my hair's attitude has been so pleasurable. I used to use S-Curl under my Shea butter, but I had to lay off of it a bit. My hair has a love/hate relationship with glycerin. It has a tendency to make my hair hard and dry after a while. I wouldn't suggest changing any of your products, but I would stop using some of them; so you can see what is causing your hair to have a temper tantrum. Maybe you can change the order or way your products are applied.

Thank you.

That's is funny because two nights ago I had a dream that I was choking a black snake and slung it hard to the ground and a cat came and ate it.

"Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder, the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet"

I'm safe.

Did you try Jheri juices yet? Try just a little Blue Magic too. I always talk about these proxucts I know I know . They may work for you, preferably together. Don't give in.

Info on aloe leaves and maggots:

Breaking off an aloe leaf is a good sign because it means that your most cherished desires and long-awaited dreams are getting ready to manifest very soon.

To see maggots in your dream represent your anxieties about death. It may also be indicative of some issue or problem that you have been rejecting and it is now "eating away" at you. You need to confront it for it is destroying your sense of harmony and balance.

Thanks for the kind words girl! I've tried narrowing down what my hair doesn't like and changing up the order. I've been through sooo many combinations and considered so many different things that could be causing my issues, and cut those things out with no success. No order or ingredient/class of ingredient seems to be the definite problem. It isn't my water either. Its so tough. My hair likes glycerin sometimes but like you it doesn't always work well. I've been thinking about jumping on the shea butter train for a while now but my hair is in a twa so I feel like no product like that is able to get thoroughly applied throughout my hair. So I try to use moisturizing shampoo/conditioner but I can't seem to find anything that works for long. Oil rinsing leaves my hair hard after a while so I'm out of luck it seems. Sigh... We'll figure out what our hair wants one day.

You have to whip it. I have fine hair and I HATED Shea butter due to its heaviness, until I whipped it. Girl......
It is everything I needed. Whipping without adding oil makes it airy and fluffy. Mixing it with oil makes it creamy. I like the creamy version for my hair and the fluffy version for my body. Come on over to the Shea Regimen thread. You will be a unicorn in no time!

LOL thanks for the dream interpretation!

when you're all done washing your hair in the shower and your body and your hair IS marinating in Shea Butter. Knowing your knees, ankles and elbows are getting lushand you're relaxing on the couch with your DC heat cap and favorite pajamas on. Oooh feels so good.

I didn't know Shea butter was quite like this.

 

[I Am So Blessed]

My conditioner went on so much smoother after melting some Shea Butter and added it to the DC. Wow just wow. My hair was hanging and slinging. It was heavy. My hair is always heavy with the conditioner in it. So much that I can't to twist it up on my head and get that plastic bag on it.

 

[I Am So Blessed]

This is how my hair is right now after DC. I am air drying. NO products on hair yet. I smell like Shea Butter still and I like it. I roll my ends up and put clamps on for weight.

Shea butter has made my night! Will explain why later.
