I started on my hair, but I’m tired y’all I took a nap just now. I sectioned it, sprayed my scalp with xcel21, added avocado oil to my ends and braided it. I’ll wash it eventually. If I go anywhere tonight I’ll put a wig on it...

Oh, I’m absolutely going to suck it up & keep using them.
I just might grumble a bit every now & then.

I realize that box braiding is not my ministry. I have 16 braids and I’ve been working on them for 3 days. I still have 4 left. By the time I finish those it’s gonna be time to take the front ones down 
I wish my hair was long enough to put it in less sections. They are (mostly) waist length braids. Anywhoo, my Dyson came yesterday.

I turned the Dyson on and I got scared a little bit. It’s so loud, and it felt like it was about to shoot off like a rocket ship and take me with it. 
I’m actually kinda scared to use it now lmao.

I once went on vacation with my box braids half done. I did the perimeter, and just gave up when I got to the middle. I made a high pony and flew to Disney World. Lol
I’m actually good at doing them. It just takes me sooo long. I think this summer I’m going to try doing knotless. That seems like it will be quicker for me.

I’ve never felt that it was that loud, or at least not louder than a regular blow dryer. I guess I would say the sound it makes is more high pitched.
Is it louder than the Revair?

Yes it’s not the loudness for me it’s the pitch. Something at that pitch shouldn’t be that close to my ears lol
I’m not sure if it’s louder than the revair. Probably not. But even so the revair sound is more tolerable to me

a few things; I'm 4b texture and I cant seem to find a moisturizer, everything turns my hair hard and I'm vertually gray but have been self coloring for many years. Lately because of the grays I end up with two-three colors tones which makes me look older.
Because of the 'hard' texture I can't keep my hands out of it, I'm always twisting and twirling and finding hair balls that I keep popping off, so to prevent myself from going bald I'm thinking about going back to the creamy crack.

I have the Revair, but I haven’t used it in a while, and it’s in storage so I don’t even remember what it sounds like.

It sounds like you’re really low porosity. What do you use to moisturize and seal your head? How often are you moisturizing? And what what and how often are you washing?

I am washing once per week because of the color washes out
daily I use aunt jackie's/s-curl seal with amla or coconut oils

Coconut oil is evil for low porosity hair and that’s my own thoughts.
I hate it. Left in.
If it’s in the top five ingredients I don’t use it. For anything that has to be left in
What works for me is No Shea butter. No aloe or coconut oil in the top five ingredients. @Iwanthealthyhair67

I picked up some gloves and a bottle of ion pigments color depositing conditioner in sky blue. I may color and blow out my hair this evening

Yeah coconut oil doesn’t work for my hair either. However I do like Shea butter and aloe. I HATE. HATE. products with soybean oil in them. They make my hair hard.

What products from Aunt Jackie are you using? As for the s-curl, do you live in a humid area or more of a dry area? Sometimes glycerin sucks if you live in a dry area. It’ll take the moisture from your hair and put it in the air. That’s why personally don’t use products with glycerin high up in the ingredient list. I don’t have time to be checking the dew points before I use a hair product. I like to use a spray leave in and a cream leave in to moisturize and to seal I like castor oil or Shea Nilotica.

I'm so content with my hair right now. It's ~2 weeks since my last wash day and I'm going to get a keratin touchup on the weekend. I have my hair in a blow dried braid right now that I take down and moisturize periodically with CRN products and It's a 10 Keratin spray. I'm living for the ease.
Me too and mine is super obvious when my hair shrinks in it's natural state because of the density of the rest of my hair

Mine is in my edges
Luckily I can disguise them as baby hair.

I have the air wrap and the supersonic and they are both loud, but much less loud than any other dryer I’ve ever had. There IS something about the pitch that’s bothersome. I always wear my AirPods and that helps. Plus I need to watch something while doing my hair anyway.
Mine is too. There very fine hairs there that looks like I'm balding unless I lay my edges. I don't lay them often because I get migraines from shrinkage.Mine is in my edges
