Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[nappystorm]

@nappystorm iDied at this post I need you to pm me some examples lol

I tried not to laugh, I really did, but couldn't help it

I'm just saying...would one of yall want to get into a fist fight with muffinsismylover, lovekisses99, lilcutenurse, or somebody? Even Ateyaaa looks like she could wipe the floor with someone if pushed.

... trying to straighten my hair for a length shot tonight. I hope I see some progress, or I am going to cry

i've had a messy bun for two weeks and have just been refreshing here and there and spraying it with a leave in every other day. It still feels soft. Is not tangled and us shiny. I am laziest person in the world when it comes to my hair.

LOL, thanks for the names. Ok, I just took a look at their channels and I am inclined to agree with you. I would put my money on them in a street fight, lol. Ateyaaa doesn't look as tough, but tough nonetheless.

I'm about to co-wash my hair. This is something that I don't do but I'm trying it today because I've got to be somewhere and my hair needs refreshing and squirts from a bottle won't cut it and my ends feel dry, they desperately need some water.

Actually, my ends don't feel in the best shape because I really think my hair wants a trim, but it's not getting it at this time. So, I'm sort of dreading this co-wash because I don't need to spend forever getting caught up in shedded hair, I just need to co-wash and go. CO-WASH AND GO!

[BreeNique]

I wanna twist my hair but its too short and I'll look stupid :-(

nuh uh!! it won't! I'm sure you're all about your screename, so act like it!!! It's hair, and as long as it's on the top of your head, it's beautiful. i'm sure that it'll look just fine, maybe a bit of re-working if neccessary???

Washing my hair twice a week is a pain

 

[divachyk]

enjoying cowashing. easy. quick. keeps ng manageable.

 

[Napp]

Im sitting under the salon dryer. Im very pleased with the result so far.my hair is mostly straight with a little bit of wave to it. She might also have to give me a cut so i have to mentally prepare for that.

 

[LoveTheSkinImIn]

BreeNique aww that was so sweet, and true I ended up doing them and wearing them under a beanie type situation for a few days. I took them out for a twist out today and it came out nicely

Finally back to APL...heading for BSL now

Fiending for some coconut oil. Headed to Whole Foods. *sigh* Why does Whole Foods have to be on the other side of town? Ah well...

 

[Prose Princess]

Screw you baking soda for giving me an "accidental texturizer"! Two and a half years of natural progress GONE!!! I will never forgive myself.

 

[tapioca_pudding]

Prose Princess Do you think it's permanently straightened?

I put some color in my hair, and as soon as it touched my hair, I could feel my curls loosening. I let the color stay in the allotted time, and when I rinsed it out, I had legit 3a/b curls. I was like, Momma noooooo!!!!!! Then I remembered I had some pure ceramides from Biolage, little ampules that I had ordered and used to use when I was texlaxed. I poured a vial on my hair and I swear within like 4 minutes, my curls sprung right back to their 3c/4a goodness. This is what I used. I dunno if it was a fluke or if it was real, but it's at least worth a try if you want to bring your curls back.

 

[tapioca_pudding]

I was gonna post about this dream I had where I accidentally put a relaxer in my hair (mistook it for conditioner for whatever reason), and how I woke up grabbing my curls like, Lawd no!!!!!

Then I thought, what if a relaxed lady came in here posting about how she had a dream she went natural, and woke up grabbing her straight locks like, Lawd no!!!!

Just thought that paradigm shift was interesting.

Relaxed ladies...put me on to the Shea Moisture products...what should I buy and what has it done for you..My PJism is flaring up and Im out of medication

I think it might be, mostly because I waited so long to do anything about it. When it happened (my last wash, 8 days ago, got lazy this week) I thought it was just because I had finally managed to get some moisture in my hair and it was just hanging and would bounce back at the next wash...no such luck. I tried using hard protein by DCing with Megatek, then I tried steaming with amla paste because I read that can help to tighten your curls back up but saw little to no results. It's so weird though because my hair never really took to relaxers or anything, but now all of a sudden it wants to respond to baking soda, which isn't nearly as strong as the stuff I used to put on my hair! I am livid. I'm hoping they'll bounce back over time though, as I've read that some people notice their hair bounces back from texturizers after a few months.

Thanks for the recommendation though, if I don't see any progress in the next couple of weeks I'll have to give it a try...hopefully it will still be effective! erplexed

I find the natural hate and natural bashing funny on this other website. I don't have to bash anyone's method of styling to feel secure in my own choice. I really don't think naturals feel like "special snow flakes" as someone stated. Do I feel fly? Yup! Is it because I'm natural? Yup! Why? Because I think my hair matches my personality now. Just like a fly purse makes me feel giddy, so does a good big hair day. The Jersey in me cannot get enough of big hair.

 

[PinkGirlFluff]

Baking soda loosened your texture?

 

[Prose Princess]

Baking soda loosened your texture?

Yup *looks down in disappointment and shame*

I like the Coconut Hibiscus leave-in.

 

[cutenss]

Ok so here I go again. I am tryig my hand at another twist-n-curl erplexed I am hoping for better results, because I did some things differently. Since I have fine hair: I only did six sections, used AG FAST FOOD as a leave in(this gives hold and defination, without being stiff or hard) added a small amount of oil on each section, after the leave in. I also think my mositure levels are better with my hair, since being on a ceramide regimen. And I think that maybe the key. I really neeed this to work.

 

[Country gal]

I have been wearing weaves and wigs for the past 3 months. I am going to start wearing my natural hair out again. I want to get in shape. I don't want to straighten my hair only to sweat it out again.

 

[Nix08]

Where's Myjourney2009?

 

[Aviah]

My hair is suprising me... 2" frm apl already? Either this is going well or I'm not measuring right... several times! Hope I can make it by January. Then BSB by June/July (fingers crossed ).
