Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

OK, so I'm disgusted with myself for not having more progress. I've been privy to this forum for a year and a half and should have much to show for it. I'm ashamed to say that until this year, I haven't been dedicated. At least I can say I've been learning and have had my most inspiring retention this summer. And while I take into account that I cut off about 2 inches of relaxed ends, to enjoy better texlaxed consistency, I'm not that comforted. So, I'm determined to continue to achieve more progress by the end of this year, with everyone's help of course. Thanks ladies!

washed and dc my hair for the second time this week since I got a little gift card from Att and wanted to get the ion extreme moisture big bottle of conditioner..hope my hair likes this special treatment.
 
First hairstyle I am getting in my hair in APRIL :giggle: 2012 after I finished wigging it up is a ROD SET, To let my hair hang LOW low low low low!
 
Short curly hair with a lot of volume? = WIN.
Long curly hair with not a lot of volume? = WIN.
Short curly hair(or hair that appears short due to shrinkage) and low volume? = FAIL.:nono:

(And, yes, hair, I AM talking to you. Choose a WIN situation FFS!)

I'm finally done taking out my locs! :superbanana::yahoo::headspin:

After 6+ weeks I never thought this day would come :lol::lol:

I cannot WAIT to get a relaxer! I wish somebody could feel me on this.. relaxers get no love nowadays :lachen:
 
I was cowashing my hair tonight and I think I've figured out my hair thinning and it's not good. The sides are feeling normal, the back is normal, the top near my center part? Thin as hell. Time to get checked for pcos. Sigh.
 
Sometimes it feels kind of whack that my hair can't do the things I see other textures do. I don't trip too hard tho, bc luckily I knew the deal before I went natural about what my hair can and can't do.

Like braid outs/twist outs; its too fine and they'd look anorexic on me. Not to mention anytime my hair is loose it tangles/knots and also wouldn't last more than a day.

Rod sets; my hair in its natural state just doesn't smooth out like some folks seems to be able to make theirs do
 
So apparently the Dew wasn't skrong enough to handle the Eco. My hair was crispy crunchy critchy by the end of the day. I don't mind some firmness, but it was beyond that. Today I tried again with a thicker condish + alil more shea butter, and we'll see what I get.
 
Frizzy = definition of my hair this morning but I'm gonna rock it anyway.

Hope you all have a great day today. :grin:
 
ive decided im gonna get a relaxer for my 21st Bday:grin: hopefully i will be able to wear more styles afterwards....i know alot of people will be mad so i will probably keep it on the low low:look:
 
Blow drying cut off half of my twisting time. It's def a keeper. Makes me very tempted to flat iron though.....
 
I guess the oil rinses and heavy sealing w/ vasline, along with keeping my hair stretched has really been greath for the overall health of my hair. I'm 3 days into my flat-ironed hair and I can't keep my hands out of it. It just feels so dang ol soft. I wonder which new technique is really the reason for the extra softness. And my scalp is feeling good right now. I should be having the case of the itchies, but I'm still good. I wonder if it is because I've been rubbing my scalp with my fingers. My thought was that doing so would help distribution of sebum and keep my hair scalp from feeling like it's on fire. IDK, but I'm loving it. I'll just keep doing everything to keep yielding progress.
 
Glasses do a number on the patch of hair right above my ear where the glasses rest on the side of my face.
 
FRUSTRATION: Ugh I just feel like getting up early tomorrow and making an emergency/a last minute appointment with my stylist. I don't FEEL like stretching, I don't FEEL like going a month longer to do my hair. I just wanna do it now and not have to worry about it for the fall/winter. Wait for growth or get a nice fresh cut for the new season approaching? Decisions, decisions...
 
I straightened my hair using the chase method and my ends FEEL so GOOD! Plus I actually see my true length. I'm APL~~ with my longest tail (V shape).

Yeah!!

kandiekj100 I absolutely love when I flat iron and can see how healthy and luscious my hair is and that all my efforts are paying off :yep:
 
I hid my flat iron last night. Hopefully that'll keep me from going heat crazy like I have been these past few weeks. If not, I'll be forced to take drastic measures.

Aireen Sleep on it and if you feel the same ......Make the appointment:yep: Don't cut though:grin:
 
Reading so much about flat ironing makes me want to try it.I'm a natural who has never flat ironed my hair except once when I wanted to wear a sorta straight half wig.I just want to see this mess straight and hope I don't get the urge to just shave it off.
 
I really really want to straighten my hair but I'm trying to wait until the end of the month. uuggh The only thing stopping is the fact that it takes me so long to do it.
 
I think I'm about to do something big for me.I'm giving away hair products.I have created a great stash but I think I will just give away all of it or most of it.I don't know what is coming over me but I'm about to give alot of things away..I don't know if its my feelings emptiness or how I feel about helping others is getting to me.My church will be very happy tomorrow esp our voices that shout group which is the domestic violence ministry.
 
Trying to reach hip lenght so im trying to do my own combo.lee stafford,tiiva growth oil and hairfinty hope this helps.
