Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[GettingKinky]

i LOOOOVVVVEEEE my hot head. I use to never use heat either but then got a hot head and use it every wash day. if i don't use it i def notice a big difference. I do 3 cycles of 45 sec at 80% power flipping it inside out and shaking the beads around to evenly distribute the heat at every cycle. Its nice and toasty for the 30 min i dc. It gets cool on the outside after a while but every time i take it off to rinse my hair is warm (which is all that matters to me).

Thanks for the tips on how to heat it up. I don’t think I’ll use mine every wash day, I’m waaaay to lazy for that. But I’m going to aim for once a week and if end up DCing every other week, I’ll be happy.

The best thing about braid sprays has to be the amount of humectants in them. It’s been really humid and wet lately so my real hair is taken care of.

I’m having a good hair day and I don’t know why. My hair is so unpredictable.

I can’t wait for my hot head to arrive. I think I’m going to use it to do a cellophane treatment.

Yay you got a Hot Head!

Some times I be thisclose to cutting some of my hair off. I don’t know why

I sprayed my braids with aloe juice today. Some of them are trying to unravel, so I braided them back tighter...

My hair has been so easy these past few months. Not so much in the upkeep because it's never been particularly difficult, but in the webbing and dryness from going so long without washing. Definitely will keep up with the BKT, it's only difficult buying things to ship to my country because of the customs limitations. End up paying for than double in fines over a certain limit and all these products are so expensive.

I think my wash n go is going to be between ear length and chin length forever.

Tell me about it :/ At least it's finally hanging down when it's wet.

I think I'm gonna try shingling again. I did it when I first went natural ( 3 years ago now!) but haven't done it since then...

This morning while I was getting gas this guy at another pump yelled from his car “I love your natural hair!” I’ve been grinning all day.

I wish I didn't have such an obsession problem. Now that I am back on this HHJ and so close to APL I can't help but do a length check everyday and then being sad when I don't see a difference. I didn't even notice that I was retaining length until that day and so it wasn't something to focus on.
To combat this I will continue to keep my hair up in buns or braids. And will not allow myself to untwist my hair unless it is to retwist one that looks kinda wonky.

I’m taking my braids down Monday. I miss my hair

Yall i rediscovered hair grease after i pulled out some old doo gro from my hair products arsenal. I was applying it to my scalp because its the mega long revirtilizer. Anyway i had some excess on my hands and my hair had leave in conditioner in it so i wiped the excess on my hair. My hair stayed so moisturized and sleek. My hair is always dry, hair dressers always complain about my dry hair. My hair has not felt this moisturized in years.

I bought softee herbal gro yesterday (because i added the doo gro to my mn mix that i am also now revisiting). Today i got a bowl filled half with boiled water and the other half with warm. Sprayed my hair with water, applied leave in and put the grease on starting at the ends smoothing up. Dipped my detangling brush in the water and was able to detangle from the roots. The shedding was next to nothing. I am sold. I called my sis and told her the revelations of our childhood friend hair grease.

My DC isn’t going to be delivered until Monday and I won’t be home next weekend so I can’t try for a long time. I should have just driven to Sephora and bought it on the ground.

I might do a henna treatment this weekend. I have some free time but no coconut milk. Hmm

Some days I think I want to be all natural and make my own hair/skin products. But most days I just like the ease of buying everything from the store.

Thank you so much!

I really like my lily silk sleep bonnet. It’s so lightweight so my head doesn’t get hot, and it stays on all night. I just bought a second one.

This past weekend I was in New Orleans for a friends event, I got in early to hang out in the French Quarter on Friday. I had a twistout from mini twists the prior week. It was hot and I sweated my behind off the majority of the day. My hair grew big and full over the course of the day. I was waiting for my Uber that evening and this couple walked up to me. The lady said your hair is gorgeous, it that a twist out. I said yes, she asked what products I used and I told her. The guy steps in and says your hair looks so healthy and your ends are amazing. I am a cosmetologist and I have to say your hair is beautiful. I was flattered and it just remind me how much I love this forum and the information shared here has done for my caring for my hair.

Note to self. Don't itch scalp with henna in.

Yesterday I was playing around with my back twists and stretched it out. Of course standing up it's different but this was fun and made me happy

My hair has been much drier since I gave birth. I've made progress hydrating it, but the battle is getting old. I want my pre-pregnancy hair back.

No pictures, sweat was pouring off me in that Louisiana heat, didn't give a second thought to taking selfies which is why I was so caught off guard by the compliment.
