Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[FadingDelilah]

I think my kale shakes are making my hair grow faster I will do a length check at the end of June to see.

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

Ive just gotten frustrated with my hair. Its thinning, its weak, like when I do my braidouts I can feel my hair snap.

It has no style and I don't know why but its spongy and will not hold a style for nothing.

I calmed my little tail down last night and did a Keratin treatment on my hair and it already feels better.

I’m glad you’re feeling better about your hair.

I think sometime this year I may do a diy bkt. I know I don't want permanently straight hair, but I do want looser curls. I dunno, I'm all over the place. Maybe I'll start with that texture manageability treatment first to see if bkt is what I really want.

I saw two beautiful heads of natural hair yesterday while on my commute. I really wanted to ask them both questions lol. If I see one of them again at my station I will stop her and ask her. Makes me excited for when my hair gets a little more length and out of this twa phase. Until then I'll continue to braid it up.

I personally find shorter natural hair to be more difficult to manage over long hair. I currently have a twa but trying to comb and moisturize that thing is a pain in the butt b/c I can't easily part in quadrants to section it do the lack of length b/c it's a fro all over. I never had hair this short before, even when I bc'd the first time. With more length I was able to easily part, moisturize, etc. With the fro you just slap conditioner and product everywhere and proceed. The ends dry up quicker and it would take far more patience to take the time with each section to twist, style and apply product to moisturize. It's easier to comb when it has more length also. Continuing to learn these little things as I go along.

Now why cant I make myself do this style? I mean, what is holding me back? This style provides:

Protection
Part recycling
Long Gevity
Cuteness
Practicality

Can someone tell me how many parts/locs that may be used in this style?

Chile, what is the circumference of your head?

Chile, what is the circumference of your head?

I have no idea lol. I want to use as few parts as possible.

I've been gone for a long time, just out in the world enjoying my hair. I've figured out how to get a neat twistout last a week without touching it and have been rocking that alternating with twists and twist buns. My next adventure will be revisiting the wash and go. I think I've finally reached a comfortable place in my hair journey, and I'm right at waist length now.

 

[FadingDelilah]

If I don't install my protective style soon I will start playing around with a twist out regimen.

 

[LushLox]

I must be crazy it's so warm right now and I'm sitting here under a hot dryer! The things we do for hair.

My hair is feeling a lot denser which is great, I'm feeling quite positive about my hair right now. Long may it last!

I just saw a hair video and the woman was washing her hair in the shower in a white shirt and no bra you have total control over what u put on the Internet, don’t play yourself!! My mouth dropped

And no I ain’t linking or pming I just needed to express my trauma somewhere LOL

Some days my hair looks super full and healthy I just NEED to take a pic. I grab my camera and in the pic I look like a plucked chicken. I'm so mad. These mirrors tell LIES.

The temperature dropped so quickly within 24 hours. My poor head was freezing. Good thing I bought my headscarf in my work bag. This was one time I wish had more hair

I feel the same way about my hair, minus the plucked chicken part cause I’m bald headed lol. I rub my head and my hair feels smooth, but when I look in the mirror I see something completely different.

Straight hair tends to be my go to for formal events. Not because I like straight hair more, but because I can get a predictable result. If I have somewhere important to go, I can't take the risk of my hair not turning out right and not having time to redo it. Now that I've gotten better at styling my natural hair, I don't feel the need to straighten anymore.

 

[I Am So Blessed]

This video intro is me in October when I straighten my HL hair. I'm deadass...

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

I’m ready for my hair to grow back now. I’m bored

 

[GettingKinky]

I went back to my baking soda shampoo this morning and ended with my ACV rinse. I may be imagining things, but my hair seemed easier to detangle.

 

[FadingDelilah]

I watched that intro at least ten times, LOL @I Am So Blessed

She is so disrespectful with all that hair flipping. Btw, she is only mbl or so. You could already look like that if you straightened your hair. Must be nice *goes back to day dreaming about being only apl*

 

[Soaring Eagle]

Attempted to detangle a smallsection of my hair with a wide teeth comb for the first time in 3 years, and all I heard was *snap* *snap* *snap*. Never again.

 

[spacetygrss]

I have been so low maintenance lately. I love it. Wash, condition, twist. Spray with leave-in conditioner morning and night and oil my scalp with growth oil and I’m good until the next go around. I have my stash stocked up with all of my staples (fave protein and moisturizing conditioners, Ayurvedic oils, Shea butter, etc). I’m seriously chillin’. Hopefully, my hair thanks me for leaving it alone and being consistent.

These braids are gorgeous but heavy. Also difficult to put in a bun because they're so long and heavy. My next protective style will indeed be some crochets

Yikes. Your hair has spoken: (in Mommie Dearest voice) No combs evahhh.

Glad you found that out quickly.

I tried a braid out last night knowing full well it was raining all day today

I undid the braids and pinned them up loosely. This may be my go-to style since I’m sick of the puff. I walked into work and my coworker wouldn’t stop complimenting my hair, even though it’s super plain.

My nape is touching my shoulders now, but I don’t wanna claim sl just yet!

 

[FadingDelilah]

Can't wait till I can install my protective style. I need a break from feeling bad about my hair's length and state for a good, long while. I'm all the way through with dealing with these negative feelings, so I'm taking a detour.

I bought Agave smoothing oil shampoo and conditioner from eBay. I just received them and they smell amazing. I am looking forward to try em out next wash day. I have to stop buying hair products for a while though lol I am so tempted to get living proof oil , i have been eyeing it for so long #INeedHelp the reviews in Ulta are so good though...

 

[waff]

Usin Redken Extreme Anti-Snap under a thicker leave-in, my hair is curlier and more clumped than it had been. The length feels stronger but my ends are still weak.
I just need a straightening to see all the ends and a cut.

I love this leave in. It gives such a silky feeling to the hair. I tried the shampoo and conditioner from the same line and they are awesome too.

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

I realize that the last little bit of my nape grows up instead of down like the rest of my hair lol. I was wondering why it felt funny when I rubbed my head. That’s when I realized it grows up instead of down. Even this short it has its own personality

 

[nerdography]

My hair has really flourished since switching to all natural products. I didn't think that it would make that much of a difference, but my hair is really loving it. And I have found my holy grail shampoo and leave-ins. The only thing that I need now is a deep conditioner. I'm using the Shea Moisture Manuka Honey masque, but I want to try something different.

I think once I'm done with the jar that I have I'm going to try Curls blueberry mask since my hair likes the leave-ins so much.

Today I am 3 years post relaxer and 3 years natural. Standing at WL with 20 inches of hair growth!!!

I'd like to thank God, Protective Styling, Blue Magic Grease and Curl Activator for this achievement. And all the Ladies at LHCF.
