i was cringing this morning at the gym watching this lady flatiron her very dirty smelling hair. the iron was smoking and needed to be cleaned, and it just was very funky smelling.
i wanted to be like...."sis, it's time for wash day. just put it in a bun and go to work, beloved."

Oh it's a daily thing for some ladies. Either that or it's a wig plopped on or now a lot of crochet styles.
I really do try not to be judgy though despite my shady post lol cause I know so many of us are still figuring our hair out and then adding exercise on top of that complicates that. I'm still proud to see black women in the gym getting it done.

Agree.

Knowing myself I would have snuck up quietly and wisperd as i opened one side of my coat to reveal my inside pocket beauty supply like "pzzzst, Hey Sis I got that Blue Magic half off".:sekret:

:look:
 
I wonder where I can find some Olive butter? I’m going to get some Giovanni Direct Leave-in and get more of Garnier Whole Blends Ledendary Olive line. Their leave-in doesn’t irritate my skin and scalp. I will have to look at the other product ingredient list to see if they are safe too. I’m back to bleached colored hair, so I gotta stay on top of my moisture.
 
I finally figured out how to refresh my hair without it getting crunchy, dry, greasy, or stringy. Water and Miss Jessie's Jelly Soft Curls.

All this times I was adding creams, water mixed with conditioner, leave-in sprays and creams. My hair hated it all. So, on Wednesday I tried spraying water in my hair and adding Miss Jessie's and it worked.
 
I still find it ironic that the main chemical in a relaxer is called Lye. No shade. I just think about it sometimes. Another thing is that one needs to go to the "root of a matter" to get truth. Ironic play on words.

When I had long straight hair no one cared and was un-amazed and probably wrote it off as a lie, But when I have a massive "nappy" bun or roll on my head eyes follow it.

These roots don't lye, they lay down for no one.

When I was a little girl I would have never thought my hair could be this long! Not even shoulder length! But now I am WL and steady getting longer, HUH!

If I could go back to 11 year old me id say "Adora you dont havd to covet Sue's and Frances' hair baby, your hair can get long too and not only can it be long, but you have a texture that is incredibly unique, a crown that others cannot wear. Be extremely thankful and proud,"
 
Thinking about lightening my hair. I think gradual methods are less damaging. The slower the better. The sun giving someone natural highlights over time doesn't cause noticeable damage, but if you use bleach to get the same effect in 30 minutes then your hair will be fried. So I think the dryness and breakage from hair lightening comes from doing it quickly. The stronger the bleaching agent, the quicker the hair is lightened, the more damage. So the weaker the bleaching agent, the slower it is lightened, the less damage.

Off to find slow natural methods.
 
What would be absolutely retarded and ridiculous is if I cornrowed all this hair up and sewed some Brazilian or Asian hair in my head and left it for a month. Yup, that sounds about retarded to me.

Wearing someone else's DNA and my rent money on my head Girl! "How you doin" *Wendy Williams voice.*

Thanks, Pud. I'm going to miss you, too. I won't get to see you triumph over your nut allergy (as I know you will).

But at least you told us! Others just bounce and you never hear from them again. Like I did years ago, but I came back for the sisterhood.

Initially, I wasn't going to say a word and just dip out when the time came. Now, I feel it's better to say goodbye before moving on.
