Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Bette Davis Eyes]

In two more months, I'm out.

youre the only natural I e-meet with the same issues as my hair and pretty much have run the gambit on most of the products used likewise.

I didn't renew for a long time but I did miss the daily readings and what not,
Im rambling but I will miss you.

I rarely post but I felt that it was necessary that I tell you before you go that your wise and thorough advice will be missed. Your extensive product knowledge and descriptions are every newbie dream come true.

Thank you for all of your posts and help, @PJaye! Take care and be well!

I have nobody to hang out with on the hairboard anymore! Anybody out there into fashion colors with a fade, tapered, or Twa?
I got a design, and I wanna keep it for awhile, so I guess I will be at the barbershop weekly, or every other week. Plus I gotta maintain this color as well, so I need to get a big tub of lighter and get a few bottles of toner.
My rash is slowly clearly up, but I can only take my medicine at night, since it makes me very drowsy. I have been using a cream, and Vaseline on my skin as well.

Glad to hear that your rash is clearing! Did you discover what you are allergic to? What sort of design did you get? And what color?

Random thought as I was spraying my hair with a Mizani spray that smells like Pump It Up....
.....do they still even make Pump It Up?

@whiteoleander91:

Uh, while we're on the subject of product recommendations (spoken like the true addict that I am), I think that you would like the Eva NYC Therapy Session Hair Mask. Given your results with the Macadamia line, I believe this DC would work well for you. It's thick, rich and has great slip with an unassuming floral aroma. During application, it smoothed my strands while appearing to disappear and be absorbed by them. Upon rinsing, my hair was silky soft and moisturized. An added bonus is that it's contained in a big ol' 16.9oz jar for $14.99 (or $11.99 during a sale at Ulta). If the opportunity ever presents itself, give this product a whirl and see how it performs.

It appears that I actually retained about 6 inches this past 12 months. That has NEVER happened...because I have never grown 6 inches (in a year). I guess all of the vitamins, ayurveda, shea butter, etc worked.

Wow! Nice!

Banding has got to be the unsexiest nighttime hairstyle of all time.

 

[spacetygrss]

Wow! Nice!

It is. I'm typically a 4 inch/year kind of girl so I was surprised when I measured my hair!

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

I can honestly say that I'm over worrying about length. I'll happily take additional length when I get it, because I'd like some length on my wngs, but otherwise, I'm good.

Congrats!!!! I'm noticing improvements with my hair retention with henna, shea, amla also. It's a good feeling.. I did a happy dance when I saw my hair turnaround

I have been feeling so much prettier having changed my bun to a ponytail. I rocked it for two weeks now and I think I'm going to keep it up. The second week I retwisted in 4 twists and put them on rollers every day and I loved how my hair looked and felt. There's something about having a pony I can whip around that makes me feel more confident.

Best wishes to you @PJaye

I'm trying to limit my use on here, I've found I'm on here way too much; it's not like I've not got other things to be doing! My renewal is due too in a couple months and I have thought to let it lapse but I will probably renew again; I won't be on here for hours and hours though.

Thanks!

It's definitely a good feeling. My hair is typically pretty healthy (except for a couple years ago when I was doing THE MOST with all of the steaming, loooong DC sessions, etc). In fact, I've never even had an issue with split ends. However, I could never hit 1/2 inch of growth per month. The one thing that was really different this past year was the Ayurveda. I've taken all of these vitamins before, used Shea-based products, made sure that I stayed on top of my protein, worn protective styles, etc.

What's cooler is that I trimmed twice, so technically I grew more than 6 inches!

Yeahhhh, Def time for a touch up. I'm think I'll just touch up every 12 weeks. That seems to be my limit. I'm about 14 weeks bow and I just washed my hair. I was flat ironed so I combed through before washing. Chile the tangles I had when I was done! I gave up and I'll tackle it tomorrow when I'm not so frustrated. Beyond 12 weeks I start losing hair when I detangle.

 

[movingforward]

Thinking about my next hair style. I really want locs, but I’m interviewing for jobs as well. Maybe a cute twist out weave.

 

[BlessedXs2]

I just cut 2 1/2- 3 inches of hair. I’m I tired of cutting my hair while transitioning. I may of needed abut 1/2 in trim if that. This is the second time in 4 months

 

[Evolving78]

The rash is finally starting to fade away. The bumps are shrinking and disappearing, and I’m not itching like crazy anymore. I have elminated all of the stuff I was eating and using. For the past several days, I have been wearing gloves to groom my children’s hair. I wash my hands afterwards as well.

I haven’t taken any pics of my new hair cut and my new hair color. I haven’t been in the mood to. I bought some hats and hairbands for in between haircuts. I need to go to the health food and get some olive oil. I need a safe oil that doesnt have any color in it.

 

[BlessedXs2]

Just cut another 3 inches. Wth is wrong with me the Scissors are now in the dumpster I’m fully natural in the back and a few inches in the front. At least I can do a bun still.

This is so me.
In fact 8 weeks seems to be the best time for me to relax. If I'm not wearing braids, my hair just comes out when I touch it at. And worse during detangling.
