Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

i need to vent somewhere wanted to start a whole thread on this butbthough twice about that. How is it we now have generations of grown arse women that cannot do their own hair.

I am visiting family and everyone is saying how they can't believe I do my own hair. Then ask for advice. Then how I dont understand their hair and I dont know blah blah blah.
Some told me I didnt understand their hair after they asked me for help because they had not had a perm in 6 months.

I transitioned to natural for 2 and a half years. 6 months is just stretching a perm. please.

basically dont complain that a stylist is doing a bad job taking care or YOUR HAIR. Then keep going back and giving them your money.

Lastly, black people keep telling me the black hair is harder than white hair and that is why they don't do their hair. First. How do you know? I see a lot of white women that wash and go annd their hair loooks a mess. There are plenty of forums full of white women trying to grown their hair out. Stay in your lawn, stopping looking across the street

If anyone is a pro at installing marley twists/kinky twists, how do you stop your real hair from escaping the twists?

Also, once you've got the hair plaited or twisted in at the base/ root, you want to wrap the 'added' hair around your hair so that your hair is enclosed within the added hair, (making sure to keep the tension on the point you've stopped braiding). As you continue to twist the length, your hair will make up the 'bulk' of the added hair, and should look as one.

By wrap, do you mean just laying the added hair on top of the real hair, or wrapping each strand before twisting like a faux loc? (Sorry for the dumb question).

It's not dumb. Not as tight as a faux lock. Taking the 'two strands' of your real hair, and placing them within the strands you make for your twists, just before you begin to twist the length. Like wrapping your hair in a jacket or a sort of hair 'spring roll' lol (so that your hair is now wrapped and hidden). Ìt allows your hair to blend so you tend not to see a blatant demarcation where your hair ends.

Thank you! That makes a lot of sense. I’m going to test it out

Okay, I am so totally confused right now. I washed my hair probably 3 days ago, deep conditioned, the works. The only thing I’ve added to my hair is the Juices and Berries spray I added about 3 days ago, because I’ve been trying to start my locs and I didn’t wanna add any additional products to it. I’ve just been keeping it under a satin lined wig cap, with a headwrap on top.

It’s soft, and I’m so confused right now lol
 
Am I the only one who gets a sore scalp from product build up? My mama used to put grease on my scalp when I was a kid and I never remember having any issues. Let some Shea butter or Jerry curl juice hit my scalp when I'm moisturizing now that I'm an adult....scalp feels like I have extra tight braids installed until I shampoo. It's so weird because I used to go several months without ever washing my hair and now I have to do it once a month. Healthy hair journeys must do something to your scalp. My scalp has a low tolerance for carelessness

You sure it isn't an allergic reaction to something?
 
What are those gray strips(they seem like stretchy paper strips??) that I see people tying/wrapping around their edges to lay them down? Can I get them at Sally's or a beauty supply?

Those are wrap strips. Definitely get them from a BSS. Sally’s probably a little expensive for that.
 
I really have been doing the absolute least to my hair. Finger detangling everyday, spritzing with Oyin’s Juices and Berries, popping on my headwraps. Just waiting until I have enough time and energy to start my locs. This is up there with me having a fade in terms of time spent lol. I kinda like how freeing it is.
