Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[MzSwift]

View attachment 449279 48 hours later and the sleekness is gone. Sleek shot was no match for this Houston humidity. My hair is still pretty soft, just really textured at the roots and in the nape.

Good thing I like volume!! I put a braid in the front on each side to help with my edges.

Aww man. Thanks for the update!

The same thing happened to me with the Chi Thermal Care System. My roots poofed up the very next day after wrapping overnight. I'm trying to find a good thermal straightening kit that isn't a full BKT.

I'm not even interested in my real hair anymore. I feel like I've broken free of an abuser. No more!!! From here on I will see you a few times a year, ooh and ahh over how long you've gotten, then be mad at you during the few and far between wash day detangling session, and then back into crochet braids. I'm done with you. Into the land of faketry I go.

The road to hair acceptance isn’t easy. Some days I LOVE my natural hair and other days I’m really not feeling it.

And since I don’t want to risk heat damage, I can’t take straight hair breaks. Buns are my only other option.

I’m in the same boat. My bkt has worn off and I can’t take the fumes anymore. I wish I could find a short term, more gentle product that blocks frizz for like a month.

U look gorge...

Thank you boo!!

Insanely high.

Insanely high.

Who’s buying these items @water_n_oil Love the idea but it’s not affordable.

Made an appointment for these.


Between the curly clip ins, faux locs, and these I shhhhoouullddd have curbed my urge to chop chop chop.

especially when u can basically make them at home for 1/3 the price.

The next 1-2 wash days, I’ll be doing protein treatments. My moisturizing routine was a little too effective while wearing braids, or maybe it was just unusually humid. Either way, the moisture overload and the natural wear from the kanekalon weakened my hair.

Im wondering who is buying these products?/ I saw they closed down for awhile so I was hoping the prices would be reasonable but ummm..err. @VictoriousBrownFlower

Last month I made 4 years natural. I bought a pair of sharp scissors. I hope to do an extensive search and destroy tomorrow if I have a few hours on my hands.

Hey, you came back I was asking about you a while back lol

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

I’ve been on this board for a long daggone time and my hair never gets longer than collarbone. You know what gets me?

Laziness.

Every stinking time. No matter what texture it is. I want long hair, it’s just life gets me so dang-on much. I’ve just been surviving. Hopefully I can get it together before I’m 40 which is rapidly approaching.

Now a little laziness is good, I just seem to take it overboard. After all this time, I still can’t find my balance. I’m either not doing enough, or doing too much lol

I didnt a chance to wish the ladies a happy birthday the last few days.

I hope youve had a wonderful day celebrating!

I just put this on my ombré ends. I had originally rinsed it dark brown, but that’s fading. It’s time for a change anyway. I’ll let it sit for a few hours. I’ll post pics when I’m done .

Wow. My hair has a hint of pink/red and it’s so soft!! I lost very little hair detangling today and it's probably because of my new Garnier sleek shot. My hair is instantly smoother out of the shower. It straightens better, lasts longer and I can probably replace my bkt with this since it’s gentle , inexpensive and works so well.

going skating tonight, so ill wash my hair tomorrow.

I'll be using a majority of Naturesego products.

I was just on a cruise and there were soooo many black people. A majority of the women had some type of braid extension.

I used to have a very strong bias towards women wearing their own hair (and I still LOVE seeing that), but I’ve grown to appreciate braid extensions. When done well, they look really nice.

Going to slow my posting in the public threads.

Ahh, I see. Duly noted.

I honestly just need to stop messing about and teach myself how to braid and do my own hair. That way when I don't like something I can fix it myself. I had been planning to keep this hair in for a month but this is may just be a 3 week thing.

They’ve been here for years, major companies too. Where do you think all these co-washes, products with exotic oils, rice water, pre-shampoo treatments etc.... come from. This place is marketing and product development heaven.


I have had ignored customer service issues magically resolved after venting on here.
