Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

*sigh* I miss my old hair, the hair i had in high school (it was about bsl). i didn't realize how long it was until I BC'd to EL on graduation day (i wanted a SERIOUS change).

Now, about 3 years, 4 more haircuts (had I stopped I'd probably be bsl again now, after my BC to EL), I'm at SL, with 2 inches of relaxed ends left. Let's see what happens. I like, hell, I love my natural hair, now it's just a matter of figuring out how/ when to comb it, and it's protien needs. I'm sure it needs a bit more protien, just haven't figured out what type. I don't think I'm damaged enough for Aphogee, so i suppose NTM masque, or monthly protien concoctions will have to do the trick.

ho hum.

slow growin' all the way back to natural bsl!!! <3

Okay so I had the strangest hair dream last night. I was straightening my hair for a contest. Basically the girl with the best hairdo was going to win a prize. So I was going to rock my giant puff so I was lightly flat ironing my hair out and for some reason I actually straightened the front fully out. Well it reached all the way down to my hip. I was all scared and excited but for some reason the back would not fully straighten. All of the shrinkage (the back of my hair is a tighter pattern than the rest) was preventing my hair from getting straight so I couldn't see if my hair was all hip length. Then there was a stylist there saying oh girl let me even you up a bit...
 
I think I am sprung on LHCF for real. I can't even think about buying a hair product, vitamin, tool, etc without doing a quick search on here first. I was sitting in my local GNC for an extra 30 minutes because my phone was acting up and couldn't gain access to the forum. Chile, what have ya'll done to me???

I cosign 100%
 
I think I'm going to do kinky twists before school starts... but I want them to be the same length and texture as my hair. Hmmm...
 
Gonna cowash today, detangle and braid my hair back up. I'm liking this Celie braid schedule I got going on.
 
I am really feeling my natural hair right now. Love Love Love it. :grin: I even like the strange looks I get from people (especially AAs). It ain't bad enough that my hair is natural which is unusual in these parts but I know I look like Maxwell back in the day.:lachen:
 
I went in for vitamins and I ended up in the oils :) I <3 oils:) I havent had Wheat Germ Oil for a couple of months:) I think I am going to mix WGO, Rice Bran, and Castor Oil to seal:) I have way to many concoctions to use for sealing; I dont even wash/coWash my hair that much.
 
I realize my hair seems to look and stay moisturized much longer when I sit under my steamer on high. But good lord, it gets SO HOT!!!!! I now use ear covers and it seems to be much more tolerable. I can't adjust the height of the hood, somehow this portion of steamer is stuck in place.
 
I was looking forward to longer hair so I could bun. But I don't think I will be a bunner. When I wear a puff or pull my hair on top of my head by the end of the work day my scalp is bothering me. And I can't wait to get home and take my hair down. No bunning challenge for me :nono:
 
I am going to miss working out with my hubby:( It was fun while it lasted now we will be on different schedules until school is out.
 
Okay... operation keep my hair off my shoulders begins today.
I'm gonna wear OUT the sideways banana clip puff!

My hair is too short for cute buns. I think there is a prejudice on this site and on you tube for girls with shoulder length hair that can't/won't wear weaves, wigs, and braids. Grrrrr.

I'm going to wear my hair in puffs or french braids until October 1st!

I will continue to braid my hair up most evenings with moisture and sealing.
I will continue to wash/condition after Thursday night Water Bootcamp and on Sunday afternoon do the wash/deep condition thing.

I may do the quick cowash thing on other days in the morning for a wash and go puff! Otherwise they will be braid out puffs.

Wish me luck!!!! I want to get to APL sooooooooo bad!!!
 
I might should/could post this in the dumb section but I'll post it here first. How do you all sweep up all stray hairs on a tile floor? No matter how much I sweep, there's always a small showing of a few stray hairs. What's the trick to having no random hair in sight? Why is this important? Well, for the wrong reasons. One would think for cleanliness...although that's a part of it it, it's not the only reason. I look on the floor for random hairs to ensure I'm not getting breakage BUT I can never tell sometimes because of the random strays that are left behind each time I sweep. My floor hair are like dust bunnies, they just pop up out of nowhere.

Use a damp mop this will ensure you have caught all the hairs when you "sweep"

also try to delegate a room or two where you comb your hair.

Me either. I think I will tomorrow or Wednesday. I love washing my hair but the laziness is getting to me.

Yeah

I think I'm a bit sick of this hair thing.

ETA: It could be because I just want more length already. The length I am now has been pretty much how long my hair has always been as a relaxed head. I once had it a bit longer but it was chopped off by a shs real quick.

I'm sure I will feel better once I have longer hair

Yeah I know, waiting for growth is the most boring/frustrating thing about my hair journey. I'm not asking for long hair instantaneously either but 2-3 inches/month would be awesome. :look: :grin:

yeah that and the fact that my hair is so many different textures from trying to get this self relaxing thing right.


ugh I am not looking forward to my next relaxer
 
I'm enjoying this hhj :). I love watching how my hair responds to certain products and ingredients. And the way rinsing with cool/cold water is absolutely fundamental and completely normal to me. The temp doesn't bother me at all. I love reading product descriptions and analyzing hair. I love predicting the length of my hair in so and so amount of months. I love cowashing with a passion. And I absolutely loooovvveee hiding my hair. Not for growth reasons, but for variety. It's like my own lil secret heheheee...

Can't wait for my bangs to reach past the awkward stage and get to my chin. I'd like it to be MBL like the rest of my hair but I'll be patient. They're at the top of my lips right now, just a couple more inches to go. :look:
 
i get shrinkage when my hair is straight :look:. As the days go by and I sweat here and there my roots curl up and my hair is slowly traveling up my back. Very irritating.
 
The detangling nightmare is over! 3 days of detangling. I still need to assess for damage but, it's good to know that even tho I've been neglecting my hair, there has been growth. Let's see how much of that growth is still on my head tho.:rolleyes:
