Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Bun Mistress said:
I almost started a thread but I would get attacked by the hair police. I have been natural for more than a decade. And I just dont know what to so about my hair. I have very fine hair that doesnt really hold its own curl pattern. It loves to knot up. Lately I have just gone to pony tails.

Well last week I had to comb out large knots well dreds out of my hair. Not the first time.

I don't have any easy options. Any loose style has to be redone every night. Even my straight hair will try to knot up on its self.

My Hair actually is healthy. It's grazing WL right now. But I never wear it out anymore because of the time envolved.

I dont like braids or dredlocks. My Natural hair can only roller set well with those 1/2 or smalled rollers, the grandma ones.

You may already be doing these things:
1)I'm a firm believer in keeping afro-textured hair lubed to the "gawds," so your strands can't start lovin' on each other and tangling up. Also, don't sleep with it lose.
2)I know you don't like braids, but can you do 2-4 braids at night under a bonnet or silk scarf to prevent tangling/knotting up?

You should start a thread, so everyone can't help you flesh this out. There's no hair police here, lol.

Waistlength wow! With that length you an do a plethora of updos. Also with twistouts and braidouts, have you tried using a styler?

No hair (or makeup or nail polish lol) purchases this month so far. Woo! I was doing pretty good not buying hair stuff but I just shifted to buying makeup and nail polish. Trying to reign all that spending in.

I’m doing a 2 week no buy mini challenge. Trying to curb spending between paydays. Now I’ll forward my amazon cart to my boyfriend and he can do what he wants with it lol
 
My mom just complimented my blowout and asked if I recently cut my hair. I haven’t trimmed since February. It’s good to know that my ends look good though. I’m not trimming again til August. I’m trying to get these inches :look:

Ok another unpopular thought today. Why am I growing my hair long? I got to TBL once then had to cut to Jaw length then regrew and cut and now again to WL.

I straighten my hair today, I kinda look like cousin it! Ha!

I’m not a fan of my hair when it’s long and straight. The only reason I want long hair now is because in order to have shoulder length curly hair, I think I need floor length hair.
