Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Hey Sis, are your Black pins older than your Brown ones by chance? I ask because your post prompted me to search on Amazon for reviews and it seems that based on the newest reviews, the company is now using a cheaper more brittle plastic which tends to break very easily :spinning:

I purchased these pins years ago in black and still have 4 left. I don't recall them ever breaking on me - my only issue with them was that the plastic seemed to peel a little over time but the pins were still usable. I was interested in purchasing more of these pins in black, but not anymore since the quality seems to have gone way down over the years :cry3:

Thank you for this! I'm not kidding about every single 'new' one breaking on entry or exit. Save your coins, please. I have half a pin stuck in my hair right now. I was beginning to think they'd gone 'bad'. I have old black as well as new black:cry3:, brown and clear:cry3:. I bought them all years ago and just knew that as long as I didn't lose them, they would last for life. Excluding the 'older' black pins, they are practically useless now.

Wow that's ridiculous!!! I knew it! Why do these companies always have to mess up a good thing? Yeah they may save some money by using cheaper plastic now, but in the long run they will lose it all and go bankrupt once the word spreads that their product is now useless!

I'm so glad you posted about this because I was sure enough planning on ordering some more to add to my stash ... but NOPE not happening! I guess I'll have to hold on to my 4 OLD ones and pray I don't lose any. I hope you can get the broken piece out of your hair without incurring any damage sis :nono:

Yep, hold onto those 4 pins tight. I just 'sealed' my hair with some Shea butter and took the opportunity to remove the broken pin and rebraid the back. It's a shame. Where is the quality? People really know how to lose customers.
 
Hey Senoritas!!!

Ok so you know that earlier I said that wanted to make a hair accessorie...well I made one and it holds all of my hair at once. Tell me what you think. If you think it's ugly say so lol I am not one to get offended easily :afropick:.

I wanna see it in your hair before I judge
These pics just don't want to upload. I had better pictures with a much neater French roll, but since I could not get those to upload I had to do a messy roll so you'd get the idea. I plan on making more pins.

Just imagine my hair neater.

It’s cute, I just think it should be bigger. You’re hair is so thick, that it seems to overtake the pin.
 
So happy I finally have a lead on my scalp inflammation and hair loss!!! Ahhh I'm so excited! I think my magnesium pill is dosed too high. So I will stop taking my magnesium pill for a month to see what happens.

Now even though my hair's moodiness had me all the way done earlier I feel rejuvenated. I will be so thankful if this could all just be over and I can start recovering. :blush:

I might even shave my head again, lol...
Shave your head you say?... lol I won’t push you off of the ledge, but I’m down here enjoying my hair and not worrying anymore! Lol
 
Maybe tmi I just have to express myself.

It’s been a week and a half since I washed my hair due to terrible morning sickness. Just could not deal with my hair. Left it in a messy bun all this tine.

Took my hair down to find back of my head was all matted and dry. Oh and so ITCHY! Doesn’t help I been dehydrated since I could not hold liquids down. It showing in my hair for real. Finally giving my hair the TLC it needs and I am feeling so much better. Sitting with d/c on.

I am starting to feel human again

Hugs. We understand. Congratulations on the little one to come. So glad you are feeling good!
 
I really need to get a better twisting cream. The reviews suggest I would like Curl Origin's. But if I order it, it wouldn't make sense not to get their DC that I think has a high chance of really working, due to its different ingredients.

However, I can't justify bringing any DC into this house. :cry3:So I'm trapped in a feedback loop of not being able to purchase the twisting cream. *sniffle*
