Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Unbelievable! I took my box braids out last night and as I was removing each braid, I noticed very little to no hair in the comb. And my hair was moisturized and soft. I did a really quick wash (no tangles), deep condition and rollerset. I was so dang tired (2am) so I just slept in the rollers. Took them out this morning and my hair is gorgeous and bouncy! I am astounded at how great a job Komaza's products helped to maintain my hair under the braids.

I used the Vitamin Reign as a leave in after each wash and condition but also as the liquid base when I sprayed my braids down every couple of days with a mix of argan, jojoba, and Komaza Supermane Strengthening oil. I also used PureOneBeauty Edge Pledge to keep my scalp moist and edges/hairline in check. I have NEVER had hair look this healthy and strong after removing braids and I like to think I take really good care of my hair when in protective styles.

Komaza and PureOneBeauty continue to amaze.
 
Oh snap, it's lightening & Thundering outside (east coast). "So this is how it's gonna be Summer!? You starting your mess already!?"

Ok ok ok, I'm too chicken to do Faux Locs. I cannot part! Parting my hair is as hard as me resisting a slice of cheese cake... it can't be done son!

@FadingDelilah the risk for a minor set back is high with this style.

I just had a flash back. I could not part my hair when I was relaxed either! My hair gathers and it doesn't like to be separated for anything. I listen to it, and I leaves it's alone

I know a lady who can do that!!! She has straight knee length hair and she wears it in a single braid everyday that she tucks into her back pocket. She does fancy braided hairstyles sometimes too that are breathtaking. I just stare in awe whenever she turns her back to me, lol. :abducted:

It would take me ten years and some extra large pockets the size of potato sacks to fit my hair into my back pocket. :rolleyes:
 
Other people at night before they fall asleep: what is the purpose of life? will things at work be okay? I need to get my life together starting tomorrow.

Me: I wonder if you used strips of cardboard and bobby pins if it would work just as well as those CWK straight plates???

Edit: I tried it and it doesn't. :look:

I bought these two days ago from Wal-Mart online. I think I will like them for my updos.

Time to try different hair styles.

I grabbed the wrong relaxer while I was self relaxing and put an old mixed together relaxer on my hair after taking the braids out. After I washed my hair it caused my hair to get extremely tangled/clumped together. I lost a good amount carefully detangling it. Then I left and went to the salon for an protein treatment and had my stylist trim the ends. He's going to do a corrective relaxer Saturday.

A relaxer switch from lye to an unfamiliar no lye...didn’t even know how to tell which was which...was the start of my transition. Sounds like you’re taking it in stride, good luck with your corrective.
 
One thing is true, that if you do your hair every day (like me) breakage will happen. I broke three hairs this morning trying to do this raggedy bun. Broke three hairs for this, Gosh.

One of those broken hairs was caused by a hang nail!! Oh I hate hang nails! I searched for my scissors before touching my hair and could not find them.

Ladies, is it really necessary to buy a scalp exfoliating product? I just read an article that mentioned how beneficial it is to remove toxins from the scalp and hair and promote healthy hair growth. Isn't my weekly scalp shampoo and monthly apple cider vinegar rinse sufficient? Anyone has thoughts on this?

I have never bought this product and have never exfoliated my scalp in this manner and my hair is doing well.
I don't think it's necessary. The regular washing I do is enough for me.

Is it necessary? No probably not.

However, I use a Philip Kingsley exfoliant now and again. I don't do it often as it's an additional step, but my scalp feels so invigorated and fantastic when I do. I can't do it every week as that article suggests but once a month works for me.

Can you tell the difference in your hair since you started using it?

My hair always feels different after I use it. Immediately after use I notice that my hair has more volume and appears more lustrous, roller sets are more bouncy and light etc. It completely removes scalp build up and feels 'brand new.' Scalp is skin so it stands to reason that you should take additional measures to remove dead skin cells just as you do on your face. Although ACV should produce similar results.

I need to repurchase as I'm about to run out.

Thank you for your reply @LushLox. The ACV product I use and the Philip Kingsley exfoliant sound as though they net the same results. I will continue with the ACV.

I think it's beneficial if you've always had scalp issues. My scalp is very sensitive and starts itching if any product has the audacity to touch it, also shampoo and acv have never been enough for me.

If you never had scalp issues before with your routine then why concern yourself with it now?
