Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

That’s understandable. Before I recently injured myself at my job, I have regularly training for some years now.

To be honest though, I don’t mind the frequent washing. I recently finished a braid challenge, but even then I still always revert back bunning because I’m mostly lazy lol.

If anything maybe something like a cute Bantu knot style, or Dutch/French/English braids? That way you don’t have to a lot manipulation.

Lately, I've been playing with new heat toys/tools.

But I pretty much wash and go every day. Once your hair gets used to it, it's pretty easy.
 
Oh yeah. It’s Gemini season. I’m turning up from now til the end of June

I don’t know what to believe about oils/butters. Some people claim they are great for sealing in moisture. Others claim they build up on the hair requiring shampoo to remove which causes a cycle of dryness.

My life would be simpler if I just used store bought products and didn’t do oil rinses and make my own shea butters.

I guess I just need to figure it out for myself. None of this was an issue when I wore buns, but wash n gos are a whole other story.

Thanks, adding those ideas to the list. :) I’m super lazy with my hair and was washing it once a week but that’s not going to work anymore. Lol

I’m so sad right now. I could not figure out why my scalp was feeling so irated and why when ever I scratched my scalp it still seemed dirty even after I just washed it. I was watching a video from Dr Dray when I realized I probably have dandruff. :( I wanted to try different things but nope going to work on healing my scalp first.

Try a trial run of no oil & shea for a bit to see how your hair responds. There's plenty who don't use them.
 
I can’t STAND these sometimey *** mail carriers. I really hate that our original mail carrier retired because I NEVER had a problem getting my mail. My package been out for delivery since 8:49am. It’s 6:31 p.m. and the heifer didn’t even attempt to deliver my package. Took it right back to the station. Got me all excited to start my hair. I’m a very understanding person if I have some kind of communication, but I didn’t get anything. Not a **** thing. This why I hate ordering online, unless it’s FedEx. At least I can have it shipped to Walgreens so I can pick it up when I’m ready. Ugh :mad:

Oh wait, get this: It’s just been marked as Notice left: No Authorized Recipient.

There’s no notice, and I’ve been home since 3pm.

+1 on seeing how your hair responds without them. For my hair I think they block out moisture. I will use a tiny bit of oil on my scalp sparingly in a protective style. Something light. But other than that my old hair oils are collecting dust.
 
All my curly hair research is turning me into a PJ

I already bought SM products shampoo and conditioner, then I got Devacurl conditioner

Now I want NYCcurls and Briogeo. It will take me forever to try and evaluate all these things.

I’m just going to take a deep breath and finish my SM products.
