Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

divachyk I just posted a small update in the relaxer reveal thread...All was well, retained all of my growth, even application and no burns/scabs etc... and I've decided 10 weeks is good enough for me:yep:
 
I used direct heat for the first time in months. I used the tension menthod but it didn't come out straight like i see on Youtube vids. This method just seems to set my tiny spirals not straighten them out.
 
a little frustrated. i wish i had never bleached my hair and even moreso i wish id never let my ex "practice barbering" on my nape and sides. 3 mos setback ugh!!! ok im done venting. i just feel like my hair is whack and i should bc again and start over but then i think i DO have growth and i can trim/even it up later in my journey....sigh.
 
Exasperated. As long as I've been with LHCF, I STILL can't do my hair in anything other than a ponytail without it looking like a HAM. And I still don't know what type hair I have. Ugh.
 
I've been wanting to say this but I dunno how to word it, so I decided to just say it how I see it in my head:

It's crazy to me how when I was relaxed, my new growth felt so curly, and now that I'm natural, my new growth/roots feel 'straight'. I can't really explain it. :drunk:

I made an appt to get my hair flat ironed on my 6 month post hair bday whateva u wanna call it. We'll see if I keep it. If I do, I think I'm gonna put my leave in's in my hair, twist it and let it air dry. That way it'll be stretched. Or maybe I'll just find out what her method is. My homegirl is natural, has BSL+ hair (layers) and her hair is beautimous (heat trained). I'm skurred though, that in an effort to get my hair 'swangin straight', her stylist will destroy my curls. So yeah, we'll see if I keep that appointment or not...

I want some gotdamb hair color. :look:
 
I'm thinking about trying to go no-poo (I already only co-wash more than 95% of the time). Reading some stuff on it and it sounds interesting. It might be better for me than dealing with cones.
 
my hair was feeling like crap this weekend. tangling, shedding, breaking, feeling crisp when dry and stretchy when wet... i didn't know what the problem was before but now that i'm typing this, i guess a protein treatment is in order. time to shop.

i need some good ceramide oils for rinsing, too. and more gel.

and i want to try this aubrey organics conditioner everyone is raving about. part of me is hoping it's going to be amazing and give me pantene hair. part of me is hoping it sucks so i wont have to be ordering a staple and paying for shipping on amazon every month for the next five years.
 
I decided to end my stretch early in 3 weeks (I will be 8 weeks post by then) for my birthday. I'm a little disappointment I'm cutting my 12 week stretch early, but it's my birthday, I'll relax if I want to, lol. :)

It's beginning to cool down outside. Soon I won't be able to wash n go in the morning. What to do, what to do.

Why the need to add "today" at the end of "Your hair looks cute"? :perplexed

Hmph, my hair is cute every day (well, it's cute on lots of days) :rolleyes:
 
I wonder if I could even handle bellybutton length hair. I would look so wild.
If I had bellybutton length hair right now I would wrap it around my neck and take a picture...or tie it underneath my chin so it would look like I have a beard...and then put some henna in it.
 
I think I need to add heat back to my reggie. Now that my hair is longer it is tangling more and the ends are not happy without the heat.
 
I'm so tempted to do the twisting for growth challenge since that's my main style anyway...i'm concerned about sticking to a challenge though :ohwell:

Come on in and join us. What's the worse that can happen? I can list a string of challenges I haven't finished and probably a few I never got beyond posting my name. :lol:

But challenges make for good support and sometimes good fun.
 
Washed hair in the sink in hopes of cutting down my time doing my hair. It did not work, it took the exact same amount of time than if I did it in the shower. I probably just saved some water that all.
 
I think I'm going to have to welcome something I used when I big chopped back into my reggie. That HE None of Your Frizzness Leave In loves my longer for so much. I'm sorry I let her go. I'm such a jerk. lol.
 
Had to bust out my Mane 'n Tail Detangler after my cowash tonight. My newgrowth usually starts fighting me around this time (10 weeks post) every stretch. That means it's almost relaxer time!!! :woohoo:
 
tonight's a rinse & condition night. yay.

me thinks i might add some castor oil to the mix, too. hmmm.

in fact...gonna go do that now.
 
The heat and slight (well, more than normal) humidity has my twists looking %!&*$ed up. Man.......... I can't wait until Friday to take them apart. Hmm...
