Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

::sigh:: I kinda just want to relax my hair bone straight so I can wear it straight without having to put any effort in.
 
It's saturday, and I slept on my braidout.

can anyone tell me hjow exactly a braid-out is a protective style? i mean, my ends aren't tucked away, so...?

either way, i'm off to moisturize my hair and put it in some Celie plats. a storm's a'comin', so I don't really care how my hair looks. <3
 
My hair sure is pretty when it's wet. I wish there was a way to freeze it like that, but nope... puffs up like a fuzz ball when it starts to dry! Sigh...
 
I was mean to my hair yesterday.
I was trying to braid it for airdrying like I do every wash day.
Well I was wondering why it was like too much work and getting tangly so I rushed through it whilst breaking some hairs.
Then after I realised, that my hair is getting longer so that's why it seemed like too much.
I PUNISHED MY HAIR FOR GROWING :cry:
 
Taking out this weave tonight and getting a different one put in tomorrow leaving no hair out this California weather is a trip!!!

Need to do a good condition, a protein treatment, & have a really good leave in.
 
i'm baffled at how easily i'm finger detangling my hair right now.

i'm just using a little kenra mc mixed with water...taking time on parts that are a little more tangled, but i'm not even getting trouble with those.

had twists in for 3 weeks. rinsed them frequently, shampooed in twists once.

twist takedown is usually a nightmare for me when i leave them in that long and wash them.

i'm quite pleased right now. i'm almost through my entire head and it's only been about 15 minutes.

losing less hair vs. comb is also a mega plus. okay back to it.
 
today was my first braid-out that went successfully in a long time!!
i plaited it in 6 braids, and used bobby-pins near the root and at the ends to stretch the hair fully. i still have about an inch of relaxed hair on my ends, so the ends are straight, compared to the fully curly and thick nature of the rest of the braid out.

Whimsy, make sure you really want to have straight hair and aren't just being lazy for times you want to wear it straight. Have you seen westNDNbeauty's straightening method. It seems so easy and is somewhat similar to mine in that we don't have a hard time getting hair straight and keeping it straight.

Otherwise if you're just reacting out of frustration, step away from the box of relaxer and treat yourself to weave or wig. I think you will miss having reversion if you relax out of frustration.

Until you put that braid out in a bun, it is not a protective style. It's a low manipulation style. Doesn't require brushing or combing.
 
I hate when I see a picture of my hair from months/years back and can't figure out how to duplicate the style or remember what I was using on my hair to get it like that.
 
Note to self do not buy a back ups of a product until 2 or 3 months after so you can really see if its worth it.I was looking through my stash and there is quite a few products that could be trashed but since Im low in money I can't afford to do that.But I can see what products I like and I will only re up on those.I have to quit going into hyper drive on conditioners as well..I guess being a natural its needed since my hair stays dry.If only I could get a good product arsenal I would be a happy lady.

lmao girl i'm never doing it. Only daydreaming. I just would love to be able to just blow dry and go. Nonie
 
I'm starting to get that straightening bug I always get every few months but my hair is crazy uneven right now due to my compulsive cutting. If I was to straighten it it would look a hot mess!
 
*sigh* i DO wish my couple of inches of relaxed ends would hurry up and go away. I've been transitioning for about 13 months now (last relaxer last June), and I've clipped all but these last inches off, opting to cut as I grow, instead of a BC.

But my braidouts look really weird/ droopy with the relaxed ends, it's kinda discouraging. I look like one of those cute puppies with big ears.

2 1/2 years of natural growth and something is not quite right with my hair. can't put my finger on it. maybe it's the misshapen shape that it's evolved into :lol:
 
Should products with cetel (sp?) alcohol be left in the hair?

I am about out of Shescentit moisture mist and I was thinking I'd get some cheap conditioner and mix it with water and put it in my spray bottle to tide me over. But all the cheap ones (Suave, White Rain, VO5) at the Dollar Store had alcohol as the second ingredient.
 
I'm kinda sad...I have my staples and have no interest in trying out any new products...what am I to do:look: Went to a new 'huge' BSS and came out with bobby pins:ohwell:

Same here. Left with my usual DC, Queen Helene Cholesterol. Sigh. Time for something new but haven't figured it out yet.

My product junkie fix has moved to shoes for now. Just bought some Dr. Martens. :grin: I'm addicted, I want more pairs. :sad:
 
I want to go red or auburn for the fall as it is approaching.I know I love how Rihanna has her hair color now but I want something a bit more scarlet.I wish I could find a wig store online and search red hair color..I'm going to evolve this year and by winter I think I'm going back to black or maybe even a blue black.
