Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[GettingKinky]

Why am I trying to grow WL natural hair? Detangling it is a pain, and I lose a tennis ball size ball of hair every wash day.

I would probably like it better if I wore it straight, but I haven’t straightened it in a year because the last time I did I got heat damage. But why should I care, it’s always in a bun. I have fantasies of being a wash n go girl, but I don’t think that’s going to happen because I can’t quite get used to how voluminous my hair is. I can’t be a straight hair natural because I workout too often. Sigh...

Sorry for the rant. I just need to figure out what I want to do with my hair, my current routine just seems pointless.

My sister convinced me to actually measure my hair. So I did when I washed my hair today, and I am legitimately surprised. I shouldn't be but I am LOL!!
I BC'd to 1 inch of hair 2 years and 1 month ago. I've trimmed my hair 5 times in these past 2 years, cutting 3.5-5 inches in total.

Why is the longest part of my hair (the crown) 12in long??? My tail in at the nape is 10 and my shortest pieces are 8.5. And I get a lot breakage all the time. My sister is shocked at how much hair I lose when I wash it. She keeps saying that I could be WL in 6 months if I would stop cutting my hair

Now I'm curious to see how long my hair would be if I left it alone and minimized by breakage for the next 6 months

My hair is getting very thick, I wish it would start getting longer. I think spring will be its time to shine.

I got some hair [strands ] that hang 26 inches. But, a large bulk of my hair in the crown area is hanging at 25 inches! I just may hit 30 inches in 2019. You never know what can happen.

I was considering taking down my protective style after christmas, but i don't have any conditioners so I'm gonna need for this hair to last me through the first 3 months of January.

I still have a couple christmas presents to pick up. Trust me, January will be... an experience.

I'm trying to figure out what these 4b/c YouTubers are using to part their hair like it's nothing. I almost gave myself a hernia yesterday just trying to do a side part on an old braid out. Granted my hair does need to be detangled but that will have to wait until my mom pays us another visit. I don't have the energy to do it while I'm pregnant. I cut off over half of my hair and it still feels like a lot.

I slept with my wash n'go free (no scarf no stretching) and woke up looking like Huey from Boondocks
My wash n'gos actually get bigger rather than shrink if I sleep with them uncontained. The shapes better too LOL

So I cut and relaxed my hair today. Looking forward to quick wash days.

Aww, I love your huge afro in the first pic, but the cut is super cute and fits your face! If it's manageable and makes you happy, that's all that matters. Congrats!!!

Thank you! I love my fro too but having a proper wash day (prepoo, shampoo, deep condition, detangle, and style) is annoying since I'm at college.

I’m in the same boat.

I’m trying to avoid buying new products until mid January. I made this decision two weeks ago. I’m such a hair fiend I’ve already made two “practice” online shopping carts.

I’ve used the internet before, I know good and well that I don’t have anything to “practice”.

You’re just making sure your skills don’t get rusty

I'm back to work after less than 4 hours of sleep . I surely am rocking day 2 of the Huey . I got up and fluffed this bad boy. No spritzing or nothing, and I love it. Almost looks like a old chunky twistout.

This is how I would wear my hair all the time, if I could get to WL like this

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

Where the heck is my hair products? I never put in for mail forwarding. I wonder if the Postmaster General is available today.

I have to retire the relvon paddle blowdryer which I'm sad about but I realized it was causing breakage at my crown.

Despite my celebration of 3 months no heat just yesterday, I would like an end of year length check as a benchmark for my 2019 journey. But what I don't want to do is look at my stupid uneven layers in the front.

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

Am I missing something?

My mom complemented my twists (which looks like locs because I’m trimming on dry hair) and told me I should wear it (it’s currently sticking up all over my head) I said “thank you, but I’m taking this s*** down because this is not the look I’m going for” and she told me I hurt her feelings. This makes absolutely no sense to me because I acknowledged her complement.

You’re reaching Sis.
