Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I feel like my hair is getting longer yay! Why does my hair always feel longer a month after trim? I was sitting in the couch watching Youtbe when something fell on my back I looked back, it was one of my chunky twists that came loose from my up Do. I said "yay!"

My scalp has been itching like mad! Come on growth.
 
I took down one of my bantu knots to see how my hair responded to the oyin hair dew. It isn't s curl moisturized but it's good enough and my hair has tons of definition. I'm going to leave these bantu knots in a little longer.

So today I've learned that glycerin rich products should be used when I'm protective styling. When I want to wear my hair down in a stretched state with definition, I need to use a moisturizer that doesn't have glycerin. I love hair experiments that yield great results. I'd still be running down a rabbit hole if it weren't for the ladies of this forum. You guys rock!

Absolutely about the glycerin. If I were to wear a twist out No Glycerin Allowed. I would have to skip my beloved juice.

I've been on the hunt for a moisturizer that doesn't contain glycerin so that I can use it for styles like twist outs and braid outs. I see that some of the ladies here have been raving about oyin hair dew so I decided to give it a shot on dry rollerset hair. Man that stuff was so moisturizing on contact that it made my fingers wrinkle as if I had been in the tub all day. I sealed it in with whipped Shea butter so I hope my hair feels good when I take down these bantu knots

What is the fragrance like on the Hair Dew?
 
This morning I mentioned to DH that I miss my natural hair. He comments, under his breath, "I miss it too. Wish you would have asked my opinion before you went and permed your hair." WOW! I didn't think he cared one way or the other. We had a little discussion about it - listening to him makes me REALLY miss being natural. He has some excellent points and reminded me of a few things but dang it, my hair is 2 inches longer than SL and I do not want to start over. I had no business being a Fassy Pants in the first place........

I see my new growth and I miss my natural hair too :lachen:
Edited to add: the left side of my hair is darn near collarbone length and the right side is barely making shoulder length. I need it to get itself together.

IKR!! The new growth be so textured and pretty.

Your hair will get it together. What about a cut to make it even and then go from there? I evened out my asymmetrical bob in January and for some reason it seemed as though my hair grew faster.

That would be the sensible thing to do, but I don’t wanna cut it :lachen:
 
Thanks all! I bought it at my local CVS. It does smell like sugary caramel to me. I like it! For some reason, I thought people disliked the fragrance. I prefer this to CRN’s fragrance. I have the Fresh Curl and it smells too sweet to me.

I just tried oyin hair dew for the first time this morning. I thought it would be more liquid. I wanted to use it for my L in LOC. I’m also not sure I like the smell. I really wanted to like it. :-(

So I've been lurking in some old threads (bumping some of them......no one stone me) and I saw that @I Am So Blessed used to rollerset her hair with curl activator and lotta body. My last rollerset was Sahara desert dry so I'm wondering if that'll work for me.....

:biggrin: I hope it works! I don't even remember how long that lasted let me think back *jeopardy melody*.......I lt worked and lasted for a day or two, My hair was also bleached in a lot of areas. I remember sitting under a hooded dryer as well, super uncomfortable. Its was pretty too! I wore a twist out almost every day back then. I did a lot of twist & curls with my gold and black hair. I also set with VO5 and that worked well too.

I also remember that even though activator was in my hair the set worked because I sprayed my hair with water. I used purple flexi rods and the big brown perm rods.

I also know that, that would not work on my hair today because my hair is way way different now. Back then my hair was heat damaged and bleached so it was pretty stretched already from the door. My hair is complete virgin now.
