Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I had a spa day with my husband and it was hilarious.

I left him alone for 2 seconds and came back and he had managed to slather himself in my Shea Butter. Not just his hair, but his entire body. Even put it in his beard too.

Me: “You do know you don’t have to use that much right? You’ve used almost my entire jar!”

Husband: “Yeah but it feels so good! My hair is so shiny too look! And look at my skin it’s glistening! I see why you like this stuff so much.”

Now I gotta hide my stash.

I walked into work with a braid out on stretched hair. The first coworker I bumped into did a double take. That’s that black girl magic. Come in with one style and the next with another and your hair looks like it grew 4 inches. lol

I once had locs on Friday and a puff on Monday. My coworkers were like whaaaat? lol. Had combed out my locs over the course of a couple weeks but they couldn't tell because I started in the middle.
 
The Silverbird’s comb attachment is TERRIBLE. It’s too flexible and I could barely blow dry my relaxed hair hair with it. I bent a tooth already :swearing: I made a good decision in leaving my Yellow bird in storage. Now I have to get a hard plastic comb attachment to go with it. Stupid
Con.air discontinuing the Yellowbird.
 
My natural hair routine has taken a complete 180. I used to wash my hair, put it in braids to dry, take out the not dry braids and put it into a ponytail the next day, and then do braid outs if I wasn’t lazy or wear a ponytail if I was.

Now I’ve realized that I can become a wash and partially go gal and it only takes an hour to have hair I can wear down the next day :). I just needed to let my curls clump. I wash/cowash, do the LCO method with gel in four sections, shake my head, my sit in my bonnet dryer for 45 mins. Then I band my hair in two pigtails when I got to sleep and that’s all I do! No more spending an hour to an hour and a half styling my hair.
 
I found out I can put my hair in a tiny ponytail while it’s straight-ish. It’s on and poppin’ despite the 50-11 layers. I have my little hair accessory so I can clip it up in the day time. I m/s with the Franken-cream (Melanin Twist Cream, The Doux Daily Hairdress, and X21. I wanna preserve the little Melanin cream I have so it might be down to The Doux and X21 once I finish my jar.) and some HBCO on my ends. I need to get some flexi-rods for my bang or something.
 
Hairnorexia is REAL!! I've been on the hair boards too long. LOL

It doesn't just apply to myself but others as well. I remember thinking other races of women had really long hair and now, I've been spoiled by BLACK ladies on here and other hair boards. It's amazing and I absolutely love it! Thank you all for the inspiration but now I'm damaged. Long hair just isn't long enough anymore. LOL
 
I just found out I can attach a phony phony! I have a “yaki” piece so I don’t have to add all that edge control. It’s good cause edge control doesn’t last long anyway :lachen:

I even added a little plastic baggie that I got from my flat irons on the ends to protect them lol

I’m not gonna lie, I was scared my ponytail was gonna fall off even though I added Bobby pins. I just bought some hair pins and an attachment for my blow dryer.
 
I only follow a handful of people on YouTube for hair and they rarely upload videos, so outside of those few...I am out of the loop with whats going on. Yesterday, a got a suggested video to watch somebody scratching huge flakes of dandruff and dirt off of somebody else's scalp. I was like what in the entire hayle?! Is this what the hair folks on the YT doing now?!

Not really hair folks, but there's a huge part of youtube dedicated to the gross/weird stuff, from popping pimples and scratching flakes to cracking backs and all that. It can be soothing to watch.

Dr. PP is the OG lol. I can't manage everything she does, but the good ones are good. Also watching people get their backs cracked up and down is my go to when pulling out braids.
