Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Oh, my goodness! I am 100% done trying to use this SM Coconut Hibiscus Smoothie mess! Breakage, ends bunching, and frizzing during application. WTF is this?!:gunner7: Now I need to figure out how to get rid of it so it isn't a complete waste of money.

I'm glad I don't have to buy products. I have found at least 5 staples to use that last for a while and my hair loves them: Shea & cocoa butter, olive, almond, & jojoba oil. They can also be used for my body.
 
I had to take out those medium sized twists and flat twists in the front. I guess I'll have to stick to mini twists unless I have someone else to flat twist or braid from my hairline to the crown.
 
Lord sweet Jesus I just saw a stylist's ad on craigslist and she had THE most obvious crescent moon face from her LF and thinks that people should pay HER to make them look natural with weave?? Honey child please :lachen:

@Curlybeauty - my bad. Do you have low porosity hair? I thought you were just looking for products to improve your bling ability and I thought about the MO glimmer spray so that's why I mentioned it. My hair has a level of shine without adding anything to it. Not sure why that is. @Aireen thinks it might be that light reflects nicely off of low porosity hair. Okay I am rambling. Let me know if I can help confuse you more. :lachen:

Just finished braiding hair into twisted mohawk. I am getting better YEA:) Picture time tomorrow because I am sleepy:)
 
I am happy that my hair is on its way back to BSL after that hack job I received in January that had me not even APL :cry:

Curlybeauty - I think the major difference in my hair care has been: getting a water filter, increasing my protein usage, steaming my DC, moisturizing/sealing on sopping wet hair (when air drying) and using quality products. If I don't moisturize/seal on sopping wet hair I feel that all moisture escape my strands and its very hard to get moisture back into them. I stopped mixing my DCners, etc. I now use quality conditioners. That helped tremendously. I try my best to stay away from glycerin (even when used in optimum weather conditions) and avj. My hair seems to tolerate them in very miniscule doses otherwise my hair gets super dry. I steam weekly (my hair loves this!). SN: I have recently started using a reconstructor weekly and my hair seems to like that so far. Still kind of early on to tell but so far, so good.

divachyk[/USER];13977129]Okay ladies, I don't mean to sound all extra like those random my hair got cut against my will threads but real talk, I'm going through withdrawals. I feel like I can't get it to do nothing I want it to do. :look: ETA: I know my hair looks and feels better but......

In other news, dh's birthday was last week and we had a great time. Our anniversary is this week and we hope to have another great time.

Happy Anniversary:) I love it when we can still have fun at 13 years:)
 
I'm not into hair typing at all but I had a question about something I was going to ask in a thread. People get so durn defensive when no harm was intended most times. I'll pass.

SuchaLady Ask it in here....we're cool:yep: Or go to the "may I ask a dumb question thread" safe there too:grin:
 
Had to make some executive decisions, and I won't be getting my hair done this weekend. Or at least not a touch-up.

I have more important things to spend money on right now.
I think I will just do a rod set to get me by, and then try to get one next weekend or something.

Still thinking about doing color, but i'm still doing some soul searching on that one..
 
Sporting a chunky fro today. For the first time in a long time I really like my twist out :)

yo...why do i feel like you're preaching to me in this post?
we are so >here<
I looked at that $100 pack of BoBraz weave in the BSS, looked at all the expenses I have for going back to school, and slowly put it down.
It's hard out here for a broke college student....:nono:

:yep: That's EXACTLY why I can't get my hair done. I have to get recertified for CPR, renew my malpractice insurance, pay for another background check, renters insurance, and I have all the stuff I will even need to do my hair for the rest of the year.

I am going to do the right thing, and just wait it out :nono:
 
+1 It's hard out here. I can't even get my Remy. :nono: I need my refund check.

I wonder if Chi Silk Infusion will complement air drying at all. I already have to buy a bottle for the iron.

Nix08 I saw where a lot of people that claim they have the 4b texture say they have no curl pattern at all and some say they do. I was wondering which was correct? Both? Neither? I never participate in such threads but I love to look at the pictures though lol.

WOW now that I have finished with summer school it feels weird not to have anything to do. I guess I will sweep and mop even though I just did it a couple of days ago:)

Nonie what say you:grin: I know you've posted on this before and have pics of your curl pattern and have said your hair is 4B.
 
Yep! Get Nonie on it!

Hey I bought the little hairclips discussed in this thread. Now is there a link to you tube or a blog to tell me what to do with them? Heh Heh.
 
@Nix08, all hair is either curly (or wavy) or it's straight. People who have 4B hair rarely allow it to assume its unmanipulated, shrunken state...unless they enjoy tangles or knots or plan to get locs. For that matter, when you see 4B hair it appears to have no pattern. I didn't know my hair had any pattern either until 2004...when I took interest in my hair and learned to DC and discovered ACV rinsing. The following photo shows how most 4B hair looks manipulated: http://www.travelblog.org/Photos/1999852

When 4B hair is short, if not brushed, it forms tiny circular knots because that's the natural pattern. No one's hair grows out of their hair without some uniform design.

You've seen my hair unmanipulated. This is my hair when manipulated:

Clearly it looks like it has no pattern, and that's because it's manipulated. 4B hair is just hair with many faces, and the epitome of versatility.
