Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

My hair does not typically like to be Dc'd with moisturizing condtioners, however I need to do it prior to flatiron because my -coney products block out all moisture. I had used silk elements before and my hair was fine. I think it was because I did not rinse it all out. This time I rinsed it all out and my hair felt like I did nothing to it; I was PISSED.

I re-applied it thinly all over each quadrant, sprayed my silk elements Megasilk heat protectant to each section and blowdried. I loved how my hair turned out, it was big soft and fluffy. This way is definitely a keeper.

I guess I need to update blog with my new flat-iron procedure.

I pulled one of my Celies from under my wig to show my mom and her eyes lit up before she blurted "good Lord girl! you have hair!!" Why thanks mom. Glad to know you had so much faith in me :lachen:
 
I was standing at the bus stop today and some woman came up to me waving. At first at looked at her gave a half smile and looked away cos I don't know her :look:
Then she wanted to give me her business card cos she notice I had natural hair and said she had a website, I was like "okay what's on the site?"
She was like "Not much at the moment, but you can e-mail question, like if you want to know what to put in your hair"
So I said okay.
I couldn't help but notice that she had a weave on...actually that was the first thing I noticed. Then I thought, why would I email her questions when I have LHCF and numerous other hair forums. But I went home and had a look anyway and noticed a lot of information on the site was inaccurate.

Soo I want to henna over my bleached out hair(which is redish to start with)

I see no warnings, only encouragement( to help prevent or stop further damage) in my searches off site.

thoughts? Advice? Warnings?Experiences?

can u mention me in any responses please and thanks

Damaged but not outHenna can cause dryness, so you will want to DC following your henna treatment. Start with a quality BAQ henna power, and add warm water, not anything acidic (dries out hair more). Good luck!
 
I say this in every thread: I LOVE MY STEAMER!!! I've been natural for 5+ years and my hair has never retained so much moisture, for so long. I'm so glad I took the plunge to purchase it.

ETA: I had never had a steam treatment prior to my purchase. I don't think steaming was an option at the salons I visited when I was relaxed. Maybe I just didn't know what those ladies were doing while I was under the dryer. :look:
 
i can't wait to roller set my hair again! i finally did a successful one yesterday. :dance7:

my hair is a little dry though but i'm afraid if i moisturize it, it will revert.:ohwell:
 
silk elements mixed silk is the bestestttttttttttt...luv the smell and its light yet moisturizinggg...

great knock-off

That's a good point, because since air drying I don't fancy my flat ironed hair as much as I use to. It's a good thing I guess.

That's what I'm feeling these days. I roller set my hair this weekend and it felt way too straight and thin. I'm not used to it anymore. I co-washed and air dried the next day to get my texture back. I did the same thing a couple months ago after I flat ironed.
 
My egdes are doing so much better, so why do I feel the need to get micro braids & disrupt my progress I'm making....

I'm sitting in the Honda waiting room and my dad glanced at my hair and said "Your hair is getting long. Are you feeding it anything special?" I'm 14 weeks post and it's up in a clip so I'm not sure how he could tell but I'll take it :lol: I just said I was washing it more. I'm not sure where that came from but I guess it's partially true!

JerriBlank and Aireen Thank you! :D
And lmao JerriBlank don't start that mess again! :nono:

Hmmm, day five or six of this wash and go. My scalp was itching a bit today but apart from that, so far so good! I think I'm gonna give it one more day before I wash.
 
PSn under weaves for convenience. I took my hair hair down after 3 weeks for a good dc and shed hair removal

I am learning the my hair really I mean really really loves oils. I dont forsee myself straightening for a while but I hope when I do I will be BSL
