I'm always touching my hair. Braiding it, unbraiding it, spritzing water, braiding it again. It's a miracle I have hair. I'm just stressed about wanting to move away from bunning and want to find a safe way to stretch my hair. If I don't stop touching it, I won't have any hair to stretch. :cry2:
 
Wanted to henna my hair today and they messed up my order. They sent me neutral henna. Grrrrrr!!! :mad:
I can’t wait for a replacement shipment so i’m going to use this yellow crap. I wanted to cover my grays to return to work. Aaaaaaarghh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Wash day was about 35 minutes yesterday. 40 if you count the 5 mins I spent diffusing. The longest is maybe an hour and a half when I DC. Short wash days are the only way I'm going to stick to growing my hair out.
 
My baby hairs tickled my eyelashes today. Couldn't figure out what on earth it was, then I was just confused. No idea why they're suddenly long, but I wish the rest of my hair would follow suit.
 
It really does take a long time to figure out hair type. I've been natural for 8 years and I still have no idea. Heat damage definitely doesn't help. It does make me sad when I watch YouTube videos and see the full heads of textured hair. You can tell what their curls are like, even have a guess at the pattern. Mines just all over the place, no shape, weird blob thing. I wonder how many more years until it starts to look like something. :\

As a side note, 'type' itself doesn't matter, I think I'd like to just know what my hair is 'like' if that even makes sense. And for it to form a shape more than anything. I still have a weird mullet thing going on somehow.
 
Occasionally I'll get an older man asking me how long it takes to do my hair. The funniest part is the ones who ask how long it takes always assume that it takes hours. In my mind I be like, "you know you be watching those wash day videos in your spare time, Mr. Hubbert. Where else would you get the idea it takes hours from?" :lachen::lachen:
 
I did blow dry my hair and it LOOKED THE SAME way. I had sommme hang time, but not really. I did the tension method and my hair puffed right back up the next day! My coiled hair was like: "If you wanna lay me down..you gon have to lay me down for eva..." end quote.

Me: ahhh nah I will NOT ever use a chemical on you, God's gift...

My hair: whateva boo...

I tried fresh rice water today for ~30 mins under a plastic cap. I was surprised that I saw an instant result in my hair. My hair felt smoother, “balanced” while wet, and softened when dry. This my even be at the level of henna, castor oil, and shea butter for HG status.

I’ll need to try it again to see if this was a fluke.
 
I need to DIY a moisturizer. Nothing too thick though since my hair isn’t a fan of heavy creams, lotions, or butters. I’m thinking it will be mostly aloe vera gel, a little mango or avocado butter, and some slippery ingredient. I’ll think on it a little more then order my ingredients.
