Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Found out what happens when you straighten your hair at 455 with multiple passes :laugh: :laugh: . Oh well. I'm un-bothered. So much so, I straightened my hair again! My hair isn't breaking and it's pretty as all get out :grin: . Guess it's rollersets and straight hair from here on out.

I just straightened this morning and my hair is already poofy. I did a keratin treatment 2 weeks ago. Idk. I think I need a new blow dryer... I used Chi silk infusion. Any tips on how to make a diy blowout last longer than a day? :cry3:

I don’t have any tips beyond cross-wrapping it and using a few drops of baby oil (maybe ??) but ... what nail polish are you wearing? It’s a nice color
 
Okay, I have a confession:
I put a rinse on my hair after I just dyed it on Saturday :duck:
I know what you’re thinking :lachen:

And to be honest I thought I was gonna brush out handfuls of hair too, but remember this wasn’t the only crazy I’ve done to my hair. Remember when I had two totally different textures of hair and I re relaxed within a week or two?:laugh:

I did do a lazy protein treatment (I mixed the 2 Step with APB Keratin Treatment and left it on for 30 minutes) and I’m currently D.C.-ing with Mielle Mongongo Oil Hydrating conditioner. Also for 30 minutes lol. I’m very surprised at how little hair I’ve lost. And I detangled lol. You go Sybil:toocool:

However, I’ve come to realize that if I want some actual color...I need to bleach. I’m scurred of that though. I remember what happened the last time, but in all honesty I didn’t start at the ends first.
 
I'm trying to put my hair in mini braids for the summer so that I'll have a low maintenance style I can swim with and wash frequently but my arms are tired and I can't sit up right and breathe because I'm 36 weeks and 4 days preggo. Not to mention it's taking forever to get to the end of my hair now that it's grazing APL at the top. I need help but I don't trust anyone else with my hair :crybaby:
 
Slowly coming back and embracing the PJ life. I love being extra AF with my hair and if it's not making me broke why not?

I can be a minimalista natural if I want to but that's boring!

I am trying not to cry. I haven't had shoulder length hair in years. :( It's a cute cut. That is, if I wore my hair straight. But I'm not great at straight hair. Plus I exercise too much to wear my hair straight long.

What makes people cut 4 inches of hair off? It all COULDN'T have been damaged. I was just in there 6 months ago. Y0u can't get 4 inches of damage in 6 months... not wearing it curly, you can't.

I'm not going to cry. I'm not liking the look of the wash and go. Looks like a big unruly afro with shrinkage. I think I can do a good braid out. I just have to remember how I used to do it. I don't even remember anymore.

I said, my overall goal is length. So why, oh why did she cut so much?

My mom had long hair. She's cut it and it'd grow back. But within a decade of my current age, it DIDN'T grow back. Plus, I'm not great at all the protective stuff, and I like to play in my hair. So length doesn't come that easy to me.

Sigh... poor me. I never win. :( I guess I'm going to cry a little.

I’m so sorry this happened! I wish more stylists would LISTEN to what we ask them :mad:
