Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[MzSwift]

I think we have similarly 'aged' IC Fantasia serum. I will rarely (if ever) throw a serum heat protector. I have a selection so IC isn't the first one I always reach for but I still use it. With all my old-school or tried and true products, if it still looks and smells right (and in some cases feels right), it's a keeper.

LOL!
Yeah, that's why the scientists put preservatives in these things right? Yeah.

I finger detangled this wash day, but my hair still broke off a lot. I could see the many little short pieces around the tub before they washed into the hair catcher with the shed hairs. I dont feel that its lacking moisture, but I'm going to try spritzing my ends with aloe vera juice daily to see if that helps.
I'll be waist length by 2021!

If that bonnet or my scarf are giving me these bumps, Imma be so irked!!! I should've just kept sleeping on my satin pillowcase and leave it at that! I don't get breakouts, so what the heck

No Trimming this year

I'm a firm believer in "sacrificial ends". Let them be.

I need to start detangling my hair but Im tired. I dont want to rush and pop off my hair so I'll nap first.

Excited about my new hair recipes

Huh

Huh

Its a term coined by a member years ago, she reached super long length by not trimming at all. She did have some rough and uneven ends, but her theory was that they protected the rest of her length.

I agree with this. Always wanting fresh ends kills some your progress. Hair will never be perfectly even on its own. I think you should only trim cut when they are absolutely badly damaged or detrimentally uneven.

I think it was Sylver2? Trying to find the thread...

Next time I buy mango butter, it will be the 5kg tub. Its cheaper in the long run.

I just discovered Sally doesn’t sell the Mielle Mongongo Oil Deep Conditioner anymore. Now I gotta go back to the drawing board.

Edit: Ammyzon sells it, but I don’t wanna depend on them.

Well that stinks! How about Target or Walmart? Seeing as I like to get my stuff on the ground maybe I can find a silver lining. This will be one less product I’m tempted to buy and buy and buy.

ETA: It’s not on Target’s site and Walmart doesn’t show it selling in store.
However it’s on sale for $7 on the Mielle Organics site.

I put in crotchet passion twists right before Christmas. Probably will take them out this weekend. The fact that I only spent $40 for hair and 3.5 hours of my time putting them in makes me feel cool with taking them out after only 3 weeks. The pros of DIY.

Now if I paid for these they'd be in longer because folks around here are charging 3 digits for them.

 

[halee_J]

Whoa this bag of nettle is huge Its good though, I should be ingesting this and not just putting on my scalp

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

It’s me. I always sabotage my hair once it gets to collarbone/shoulder length. I don’t know why I do it. Winter always kills my progress.

 

[Prettymetty]

I downloaded the Robinhood app for buying and selling stocks. Exciting ! But not more exciting than wash day tomorrow

How are you sabotaging it? Are you tempeted to start doing more to it once you start seeing some length?

 

[vevster]

Whoa, I'm loving Mo's Curl Pudding! It has elevated to the REPURCHASE level when that time comes. I will add in the shampoo next week.

The problems I had before, when I used the entire line was I didn't have the shampoo ---- my hair may have been getting coated that is why I lost curl definition.... I still won't repurchase the curl restoring treatment -- that is too bad she didn't launch her shampoo with the rest of the collection ---

Put it away girl!! Protect it from yourself!
Honestly, that was the only way I could get over the hump too. Shoot, I couldn't even make it to SL. Whenever my hair hit 4", I would break out the clippers and shave it all off again. I lived that cycle for 15 years! Then I joined the boards, started a HHJ and joined challenges where other ladies kept me accountable via length check ins. You can do this, sis!

I get lazy and stop caring for it like I normally do. In the summer, I don’t have a problem, but in the winter I unconsciously try to keep my hair as dry as possible. I hate washing my hair in the winter cause it’s so cold, but that makes it dry as a bone lol.

Heavy sealing works wonders was it you I saw posting in the shea butter thread? Heavy butters like shea are awesome, I personally prefer mango butter. I can go days without reapplying. But I am heavy handed (posted a pic in the show your hair rn thread) So even if you get a bit lazy it'll protect your ends.
