Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I did the worst possible thing to my hair, I touched up my roots with demi permanent dye and immediately put mini braids in. The take down was awful this time because my hair was so dry and the braiding hair kept getting tangled at the ends of my hair. I had to cut the single strand knots all throughout. I am going to baby my hair with deep conditioning with my steamer for the next month. I am also going back to air drying my hair and greasing my scalp on wash day too.
 
I wish that my chest wasn't so dang broad. I'm past APL in the back, but my hair doesn't look like it from the front :ohwell: .

I've been wearing my hair straight since May (I think), and I've only had a day here or there where I wanted my natural curls back. Getting my curls back would mean big chopping again, and I'm not that pressed LOL! In the future, I'll go back to my natural pattern, and when I do, I'll start locs. It would be the perfect time to go for it!

But in this moment, I want to get to swangin' WL hair :bdance: before I bite that bullet.
 
I'm honestly starting to wonder if my hair really likes natural products (i.e. conditioners, leave ins) or not. My hair and I have been in an epic battle the last few years (splits like crazy) and really the only thing that's different is that I started to use a lot of "natural" conditioners and leave-ins instead of my "normal" salon items. I'm going to do a mini-experiment and see what happens when I use my JOICO products for a little while because my hair really isn't happy at the moment (I'm still going to seal and stuff because I've always done that).
 
I just cannot fathom that this lady only washes her hair every 6-8 months. Not melanin deficient either. She doesn’t wear her hair out at all, and is under wigs 99.9% of the time, plus she uses dish soap to wash her hair when she does wash it. She’s currently texlaxed, but was previously natural. Her hair is pretty long too. There truly is different strokes for different folks. My brain just can’t wrap around it :lachen:

Salon products are really good. Let us know what your experiment tells you.
