Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I wanted to wear my natural hair out more, but with school and work I don’t seem to have the time. My wigs are looking raggedy. I need to buy some new ones.
 
I feel like all the effort with hair it just doesn’t reflect. I hate seeing little hair on my shoulder after blow drying and it just feels doomed. Same as a natural too.
I’m so close to just whacking it all off but then I would be even worse. Just venting there are bigger things in life to be blown out by hair.

This even happens at the salon. The blow dryer is just harsh on strands. Beautiful results though so I’m not giving it up.

I’ve been digging through the archives to brush up on my haircare knowledge, since I’m on this new relaxed journey. And I came across this thread:

Doing everything right and your hair is still breaking?

Maybe those techniques will be helpful to you. My hair isn’t breaking excessively, but I decided to try methods A & C, just to see if I can minimize it to zero (yeah, I know what I said about perfectionism. Old habits die hard. :lol:).

Thank you for this and perfectionism is def playing with me.
 
I noticed my crown is broken and sparse. I ordered some dht blocking shampoo and I’ve been massaging that area only with chebe oil. I’m back on Hairfinity vitamins as well. It’s always something with these strands :(
 
I love air drying! :love: My hair feels 83749 times better when I air dry compared to when I use a blow dryer. The texture, touch, softness, aesthetics everything is just better when I air dry; even my styling isn't too bad as I do manage to get my ends quite smooth. I feel that I'm probably in a minority in this though, because it seems like there has been a major shift towards heat drying/styling in recent years. It's understandable though, folks have to do what works for them. I am a big advocate of that as opposed to just following the crowd.

I think I'll do a personal 3 month challenge to air dry only, which works out okay as that's when I'll be doing my next trim and I generally use heat to trim.
