Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

My nails are growing rapidly and are super strong too! I hope my new growth is just as resilient. :grin:

I cant wait till my hair stuff gets here i really want to give myself a good trim .....cherry lola treatment.......and try diffusing :grin:
 
I kinda wanna try hair vitamins. See if it works for me.

I'm only 5 months post but its starting to take me longer to do my hair in the mornings. I just do wash n go's every day, but I guess because I have a bit more length, I have to take more time to work with it.

I can't wait til my hair grows back. I love that my hair is still easy to manage but I still have moments of insecurity every now and again. It's like I don't have my hair to hide behind like I did before.
 
so.
i think i'm officially over my Denman.

it's pulling out my hair/ breaking it. I think it's because I use it on wet hair, and my hair when wet is not kind...so i suppose i'll put it on the shelf/ PUT IT DOWN, and stick with my shower comb for now/ thorough detangling with shower comb.

wompwomp.

i have no desire to str8en for these length checks in these challenges uuuggghhh its too much work wth im growing yes im a little past shoulder length now wth am i going to do with wl hair when the time comes uuuuuuggggghhhhh
 
Is it bad that I plan my outfits for the day right down to the hair?


Like today, I decided that a bun wouldn't look good with the outfit I'm wearing today but my Tammy half wig would look better. I was right in that assertion but I'm just mad I planned it out like that lol.
 
My mom went and got shaped up yesterday and told the barber she wants to grow her hair long. He tells her “well just come to me every two weeks to get those dead ends off” :rolleyes: UM, no, BooBoo. Wouldn’t that be shaving off her progress? Why would dead ends reappear every two weeks? I swear LHCF has given me some common sense when it comes to these stylists. I got shaped up after my BC a year and a half ago and haven’t been to a stylist since and I’m pushing shoulder length! Baby Bye! :lol:
 
I have been thinking about switching to a no lye relaxer because I have used ORS lye relaxer since joining this forum and results can be inconsistent. Sometimes its too straight or too under processed and I am over it. Plus, I think my hair has thinned out as well. I have spent time looking up reviews on the forum and thought I was well armed to purchase a no lye relaxer today. I went to the beauty supply store and was totally overwhelmed by the selection of relaxers. I just did not have any peace about any kit I picked up so I am holding off touching up my hair for a while.

I never thought I would ever say this but I am "TIRED" of relaxing my hair. My birthday is Sunday and I will be 41, I have been relaxing my hair since I was 13. Right now at this moment, I have no desire to put another relaxer in my head nor do I even want to think about transitioning either.
 
I greased my scalp last night with something I shouldn't have used because it contained petroleum jelly, mineral oil and LHCF knows what but my scalp feels so much better and has some act right today. *evil laugh*
 
LONG VENT! SOooo I went to the Derm. today. He is suppose to be a world renowned derm. here in Atlanta. Created his own hair product etc... Anyway I get in the office the nurse ask why I am there. I tell her my hair is thinning. She looked at my hair and laugh. Mind you I am not in the best of moods considering everything going on. So I say "whats so funny nurse lady? She replies girl you have so much hair like for two people there are people that come here with real hair issues. Only if you knew. When I get mad I sweat above my lip instantly. She saw that and tried to clean it up. I just looked at her and asked her politely to please leave the room and send a competent nurse in. She apologized numerous times and I blank stare her like she was stupid let her finish and asked her to "please leave, send another nurse and close the door behind you. PLease and thank you! The other nurse came in and knew what was up and was very nice. Doc came in with the same B.S. you have so much hair whats your problem. I start to section my hair to show the thinning spots. HE & THE NURSE WAS AMAZED! HE said he would've never though to see my scalp so thin but with hair so thick. I got nervous because they were discrediting what I'm experiencing. I SEE IT & now they DO TO! HE then told me it looks like thinning due to stress. Nothing medical no scarring. In fact he told me in some places I have 3 strands to 1 follicule. He gave me lots of samples since I have no insurance. The "nice" nurse called me after I left he office and told me I can come back to get more samples she will put a BOX to the side for me so I don't have to spend money on prescriptions. YEa aaight nice clean up. Lord thank you for renewing my mind and allowing me to not spit fire and to refrain from kicking A$$ when its clearly needed. AMEN

My co-workers just kept on going on about how I cut my hair from my Yasmine to this new Bob I have and how they love it, then I finally said it wasn't my hair trying to explain that its a weave and then they said well isn't that expensive to change your hair every week and I said yeah it can be, but I like to look good.

Next time/weave I'll just say thank you keep it pushing and show up with a straight weave in 2 weeks lol
 
nvm - I need something new to do with my hair because kinky twists don't look real enough -__-

I need to look at new protective styles - hair porn time! :look:
 
So happy my DH is an IT geek. My favorite youtube vids are stored "permanently" on my iPhone and I watch youtube videos on the large flat screen tv in the livingroom. :spinning::drunk::grin:
 
I think I am going to TU this weekend at 10 weeks post. Its not that I'm having trouble its just I want to reach a more consistent texture a lot sooner.

I think once I have more hair that is consistent then I will go back to 12 weeks.

I already have a little over an inch in the back so I am not worried about overlap.

Decisions decisions
 
I don't get when people say, "I don't like people touching my hair coz I don't know where someone's hands have been."

I mean, I get it that you may not want people to touch your hair, but so what if someone's hand may not exactly be clean when they touch your hair? lol. It's not like they're touching your face. Does it really matter if it gets a few germs on it? I'm sure your hands collect more germs during the day than your hair would if someone happened to touch it.

I've always wondered this.
 
Can my long and extra wide curlformers hurry up and get here so I can try out a ponytail curlformer set already. I've had this idea in my head for two weeks and I need to try it out already!!

Earrings just may be the best thing to ever happen to my buns!

I had been feeling plain Jane-ish since I've been bunning and I'm finding that it's due to lack of accessorizing.


Who knew?

@shasha8685 -wow, really? What kind of earrings?
I never accessorise mine either, but I get what you mean about buns looking plain Jane-ish sometimes.

bb09 I've mainly been getting earring at Forever 21, Rue 21, and Charming Charlies if that's any indication as to what they look like lol.

So far have mainly have hoop earrings, a pair of disc earrings, and this other pair where I can't really describe the shape but they dangle. Basically, I'm not wearing studs :lol:

@shasha8685 -lol ^^. Thank you. I've never heard of Rue 21 or Charming Charlies, but we do have Forever 21 here (UK).

I had to google disc earrings. They are gorgeous.
 
Just took my braids out and washed my hair! It felt soooo good!:grin: I missed not using my ACV mixture but I'm going to see how long I can go without it.
 
In light of all of these thread here and in OT about whether natural, specifically 4b naturals get male attention, it will be real interesting to see how it goes whenever I finally decided to wear my hair out.

I am currently just way to busy and lazy to do anything w/my hair except slap on a wig. And also no idea what to do to it and suck at styling hair in general. Maybe I will try some twists or a twist out or something Labor Day wknd since I don't have any plans thus far. I did a twist out back when I was transitioning and not even NL yet and it almost sorta kinda tried to be cute for like 1/2 a day, lol.
