Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I'm trying to flat twist my hair. It doesn't look bad, but it doesn't look good. LOL

I need to make a Qhem order.
 
@Curlybeauty - Have I mentioned MO Glimmer Shine Spray to you? It's not that cheap but works (for me) when I want to have super duper extra bling. Smells good too. I purchased mine from ebay or amazon sometime ago (before joining LHCF). I think charmtreese also uses this spray. She might be able to chime in to give you another opinion on if it generates good bling.

:huh:

I'm talking about products you use to help with low porosity hair :lol:

Or maybe i'm just confused :look:
 
Hair will be in a ponytail tomorrow, trying to hold out on my next install until school start back. At my internship I wear a headset and I always end up with the headset hair look and I don't like it one bit.
 
So I woke up this morning feeling very agitated...Why you ask?? I had a dream.... that DH cut my hair off while I slept. I got up and was running my hand through my hair and realized something was off...ran to the mirror and saw that it was significantly shorter. I was so confused, I didn't understand what happened. I ask him and he had 'a look' on his face and said I needed it I tried to keep it together but then just bawled and bawled !
 
I've never tried shea butter on my natural hair before, I dunno why. Last night I was buttering up my body and decided to try a little on my nape. I twisted it up and went to sleep. Woke up this morning, it was very moist, soft. I dunno why I thought it would make my hair feel waxy. When my hair grows out more Maybe I'll try a twist out w/ shea butter.

I started using an oil mix on my scalp at night w/ sublimed sulfur thrown in. Tryna get some growf lol. I can tell my hair is about to go through an awkward stage and I wanna get through it as quickly as possible.

I dyed my hair medium brown (Sally's Ion brand) w/ a 10 developer. I was hating the two toned hair. Its very dark, looks almost black. It'll fade in a bit. Maybe when I'm a year or so post I'll re-visit hair color but for now I like it being all one color and I like how having darker hair makes it look so much healthier and lush.

I used Aussie Moist as a leave in today with some Kiss My Face Upper Management gel on top. Me Gusta.... :lol:

So he didn't cut it right? :look:

I'm hoping that was the WHOLE dream..
 
Have an appointment to get my hair dyed a deep red....I am nervous...so many questions...will I need bleach for the color to show? Hope not. Will the color make my already dry hair even drier? Probably...I don't know what to do...my stylist is going to answer all of my questions before doing anything, so that makes me feel a little better....I REALLY want my hair colored though...time for a change....
 
I'm on a mission to perfect pincurls...if I can, then I can continue to co wash as often as I like....airdry and still have a nice style in the morning:yep:
 
started on my starter locs today. i'm taking a break right now. trying to make my parts as neat as possible, but i could really use some help with the back. it is tiring trying to hold a mirror and part my hair. i will probably count myself out of the challenges too, since my hair will go through a shrinkage phase for awhile. i don't even wanna be bothered with challenges anymore. i just wanna enjoy my hair and let it do it's thing.

so no more cowashing
washing/dc'ing/detangling in sections
having to stretch my hair out to avoid tangles
not being able to wash/rinse and just go
no more being a product junkie
etc....

i will be free again!

Uh oh..back to locs?
 
Took me long enough but I finally figured out that my beloved oyin hair dew leaves an aweful smell on my scalp/hair after the first use. Womp womp.
 
@halee_J in that case; since I approach my hair as I do my body...health and VARIETY..then I say pick it up:giggle: I got it as my Keratin protein (I went on a kick where I wanted a variety of proteins)...I'm happy with it:grin: It's not something you buy for slip:nono:

Excellent points Nix08 :giggle: Hmm but slip is something I really look for...if there's no slip I may have to pass. Thanks for the heads up :yep:

At least you know it MAY pose a challenge. At this stage of the game, all you can do is approach take-down (whenever that may be) with a patient state of mind.
 
Shrinkage on loose hair doesnt look half bad

shrinkage on braids/cornrow without extensions = H.A.M.
Time for these bad babies to go :nono:
 
Why do so many stylists dislike long hair? Or seem to think that the only way to have cute long hair is with deep layers? There are other ways to make hair cute/sexy/flattering that doesn't always have to involve scissors. Just throwing some curls, like a roller set look to me instantly makes long hair look romantic/glamorous/sexy

One of the stylists I go to just screwed her face all up one day talking about how long hair without layers is boring. And seemed to be telling me that if I grow my hair out I need to keep some layers in. Which is exactly why I won't be going to her for my trims. My other stylist seems a lot more excited/impressed with my progress and isn't as scissor happy.

My goal is long hair (BSL, MBL, WL, however long my hair will grow) with LONG layers. I think its going to be hot.
