Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I trimmed my ends for the first time in a yr and honestly my ends really werent bad at all. I had to trim barely anything and its not even noticeable (to me). My wash and go came out BOMB after my trim and now its back in my routine twists. I'm really going to continue babying my hair. Prepoo with herbal oil, shampoo with a good sulfate shampoo, dc with either moisture/protein depending on my hairs needs, leave in and seal with my shea blend.

That plus leaving it in twists is the game plan. I play in it occasionally but its mostly in my signature twists (and I love it). I'm finding surprisingly enough i like my hair put away more than out. I'll trim again in 6-8 months.
 
It’s been 4 weeks since my Deva Cut. On the plus side I now let my hair air dry and shrink and it looks fairly decent. I’m also getting used to the volume.

On the minus side - she cut part of one side too short and it doesn’t blend with the rest. But I don’t want to cut the rest of my hair shorter to make it blend with the short section. I’ll probably look for a different stylist when I go for a trim in 4-6 months.
 
Tracking finally updated and my package is in the city. Woo!

Annddd these Bobbi Boss nu locs are not made for individual crotchet braids. YouTube lied. The website sent me color 30 instead of 1b/30 idc what this packaging says.

Submitted my return request. I'll just wash and reused the ones I took out last month.

So glad I tested this out before trying to install them.
 
I think I’m officially a wash n go girl.

My hair shrinks way more than I’d like, it has way more volume than I want, and it’s not shiny or bouncy, but I’m getting accustomed to it.

The most important thing is that it fits my lazy lifestyle. It only requires 15-20 minutes in the shower 2-3 times a week.

I may still play around with products, but for the most part I’m on autopilot now.
 
I will admit I'm sooo late to this game but flax seed gel. Pure home made flax seed gel is AWESOME

i have cottony hair and without gel and shea butter it just is a hard no on wearing it loose. Loves to dreed up and knot before you judge me for a texture argument. ''

I am supposed to wash tomorrow but i really dont need to, for once. I used it on Braid outs which every video i saw said don't. But it was a 10 everytime.

If you have ben thining about this and never pulled the trigger get in here
 
Good Lawd, I'm scalp itches like crazy. I've been doing the dreaded "weave pat" all week and I haven't worn weave in several years. :lol:

I love homemade Flaxseed gel for my re-twists.
 
I’m starting to notice bits of breakage from my real hair falling from my marley twists. I think because the hair escaped the twists.

I get so many compliments on the style, but I’m worried about my real hair underneath that it defeats the purpose of a long term protective style. So I’ll be taking them out by the end of June.

Has anybody experienced this with kinky/marley/senegalese twists?
 
What do y'all think of this ingredient list? It's for Aphogee Curlific Hydrating Curl Serum.

So the cones with PEG in front of them are probably okay. Right?

I know that Trimethylsiloxyamodimethicone is supposed to be a very bad cone. But it's waaaay down the list.
