Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I want to straighten my hair tonight but my hair is still wet. I could blow dry it but I don' know how to blow dry my hair :lol: And I'm not willing to dry my hair out trying to figure it out. I'm just going to have to be patient and let it dry and straighten it in the morning.
 
Excited sitting here with hair mud detoxing my hair and scalp. Why does hair and hair products excite me? I was looking forward to getting home just to try my new products. Is that sad? LOL
 
I'm DC'ing right now. My hair is mad at me for not detangling it for 6 days straight. I know if I keep this up I'm gonna go bald soon.
 
I've been deep conditioning since this morning :look:

I'm going out this weekend before my vacation ends... I'll be wearing my 4b hair (6inches) loose and DC'ing e'rrrday! Been in love since I cut those inches off!

I'm checking out that mud mask tho'. I hope it can change my life
 
Stretching is 90% mental! I havent had a relaxer since June and I didnt even notice until I checked my calendar.

OMG my hair can fit into a small ponytail awws yay, it took me straightening it to be able to do this-I think my hair is only 4-5 inches long anyways though. '-_-

And gah why do I have this strong urge to DC my hair? O.o
 
I'm now thinking that the way I co wash is different from how most people do it. People actually put the condish on their scalps and scrub with the pads of their fingers like they would with shampoo? Because I totally didn't know that. And i don't do that.

So i guess I don't co wash, I just condition my hair. Because what I do when I claim to be co washing is just wet my hair and put conditioner on the length of it. If it needs detangling I do that too, with the conditioner in it, then I rinse it out. I don't try to clean my scalp with it.

I do exactly the same thing! I think I'm misleading people when I tell them I "cowash", so I'm going to start saying that I "condition".
 
I was so dancing when I was able to find my Shea moisture poo and dc.I also got that aubreys honeysuckle rose conditioner..hope it helps.
 
Even though I needed that cut, i really miss the length..*sigh* MBL, we were only together for a short time, how I miss you
*chants* health before length health before length health before length
 
Ok i thnk myhair has gotten some act right...

I'm glad I wasnt able to get a salon appointment this weekend.. because i would have cut this mess backdown... all the way back...

I long for the day when I can post an impressive hair update..

I'll be 12 month post relaxer end of sept.... and I know my hair has grown but its so meh right now...

ah well I have an appointment with lhcf for my update in sept 2012
 
I have been seriously neglecting my hair, I spend 70% of my day feeling sick & tired smh...I need a treatment but do I want Nexus or Joico, hmm...I hate being confused
 
I went to this salon for a consultation today and saw these two preteen girls with the cutest hair . One was like BSL and one was full APL and their hair looked super healthy. They forgot their cell and the receptionist was calling their mom to come pick them up from the salon. They were so cute and I think both were natural and got their hair flat ironed.

Back where I'm from, all the little girls their age have really jacked up hair. Edges all thinned out from bad relaxers, tight braids and gel.
 
It suddenly occurred to me that I have a decent size bun. I remember last summer I tried bunning and my bun was so small, it was like a knot. Now I have a real bun! Yay!

Itgirl glad your hair is coming around. I cut my hair again today, and yeah I won't really have any noteworthy update until late 2012 either, maybe even 2013.
 
I realized I'm a lot more confident in knowing whats best for my hair. Back in the day I used to just listen to stylists and assume they know more than I do and would be afraid to put my foot down when something didn't seem right. I'm no expert on hair but I've been living with the hair that grows out of my head for 28 years. I feel like I have a good grasp on the nature of my hair and what works and what doesn't work.
 
I rollerset my hair last night and let it airdry after sitting under the dryer for 20 minutes. The curls have already fallen, I have to retrace my steps to figure out what happened. For now no more hot oil treatments of any kind, I don't think they work for me.
 
Next up to try: wet wrap. My mama did one on my hair in 9th grade and it came out nice. Never tried it again though. Off to YouTube. On a personal challenge of No Heat for the rest of the year.
 
I need to start taking more pics of my hair. Before it wasn't very photogenic but now I think it may be ready for pics.

I want to henna at least once a month but then it will mess up my regimen because I have to shampoo before I henna.

I wanna put egg in my hair.
 
interesting.

i got the smaller bottle of kenra mc and i was using it today and realized that the consistency is much thinner than the liter bottle. then i looked at the ingredients and they are a bit different. hm...well, hopefully i still like it.
 
7 weeks post. Don't know if I'm losing hair or what. My hair seems so thin. Going to go back to what I know works. Co washing 2-3 times a week.

Don't know what happen this yeah. I really been slacking. I'm BSL and my next goal Is getting my thickness back. I might cut off an inch or two. Depending on how my hair look when I get it relaxed.

I also bought some WEN. Very excited.
 
Trying to stay out a sew-in weave until 2012 but staring at my roots & feeling for new growth everyday is getting frustrating & a tad counterproductive. :) It's crazy- I remember the days when I loathed seeing NG because it didn't really equal longer hair (since I could NEVER retain my length)...just another trip to the salon. Thank goodness I don't believe my old stylist's hype about "some folks hair just can't grow past a certain length" anymore.

Only 8 days of taking Hairfinity and I'm noticing increased length. Today was a wash day and both my mom and sister noticed my hair is longer than it was a week ago and while I'm babying my hair like crazy to retain all that I can, it was 6 weeks until I noticed a difference when I was growing out my hair this time last year.:yep: I'm excited Hairfinity is working and I can recover from my setback quicker!!
