Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Now I'm sitting in front of a fan on high. I would blow dry, but I can't take any chances with heat anymore. My hair is very heat-sensitive in that it gets split ends easily.
 
I'm going to my mom's stylist tomorrow for a flat iron and trim and I am sooo nervous! I washed it myself and air dried, so at least I don't have to worry about that, but I'm scared she will burn my hair or cut too much :( I normally would do it myself but I need a real trim this time and I need my front layers redone.

I've had my hair burned off before (like burned clean off to where it looked like a blunt cut) and both times the person didn't tell me and I found out later when I went to put my hair up. That was back when I was relaxed. Anyway, if it starts to look like she doesn't know what shes doing I'm leaving.

I want to try some hempseed butter but I will be discipline and wait because I have a tons of other things to use up in my stash (holds head down, put hands in pockets, sucks teef and kicks the rocks and sand in sadness)
 
my garlic pills taste just like garlic. garlic reminds me of food. now i look forward to taking my vitamins because it kinda makes me feel like I just had a yummy meal.
 
Getting the results of my scalp biopsy later on this morning...dunno how I feel about it ..:ohwell:

on the brighter note, I get to go browse the stores until my appt. can we say hair products :look:
 
Rocky91 sounds like the school is doing better if they are allowing the student raises again! When I graduated I was making ten an hour, woot woot! Lol anywho I'd recommend a good old Gold N Hot. Got mine down there at the bss on Cunningham. Never let me down! Sorry I can't recommend an upper echelon Pibbs or anything lol

Rocky91check on ebay for select pro gold. they have a few now for some reason. people couldn't find them for years. i got the soft bonnet for 30 bucks a few months ago.i love it! my only issue is that the cap came off the bonnet but i just use a rubberband and it works fine.
 
I really need to start using my pill sorter for my vitamins. Not only am I forgetting to take them, but now I'm not remembering whether I did or not. So I skip, just to be safe. :nono:
 
my hair is flat-ironed right now..
ya'll....i lasted 4 days...i'm proud of myself.
hopefully i can wash tonight, and get back to my top knotes, etc. having it straight is definately a treat, and it's fun to experiement with my straight hair.

so happy with growth!

remember: it's just hair.

NJoy - what vits you taking? I take multivit, triple strength fish oil, calcium and an antioxidant (acai fruit chew from GNC).
 
Salon visit update
Pros:
-She didn't cut too much
-My hair came out decent

Cons:
-Took way too long - 4 hours, only 1.5 actually spent on my hair
-Charged way too much

I felt obligated to finish the appointment because shes my moms regular stylist, but I will never go back.

I love the smell of the yellow Shea butter. These mini twists will take me forever to take down. Dreading that as I put this new set in.

Why r so many stylists confused on the concept of "I'm trying to grow my hair out"? Its like as soon as u mention this to most of them its like...*crickets*....*blank stare*...then this look of confusion, exasperation, disappointment. Followed by an eye roll, side eye, and/or loud sigh.

Or maybe its just me? I'm starting to think that given my texture many stylists assume my hair can't be long thus the stank attitude as if they r thinking "this broad is crazy, why don't she just let me give her a fly cut instead of chasing hoop dreams".

Luckily I've met a few talented stylists who don't think like that, but not many.

That's why I decided to stop going to the salon. If the "pros" don't think I can have long healthy hair, then they'll have no issues with abusing it .:nono: I cringe at the thought...
 
A fellow colleague with a TWA (4a/3c mix looks like) mentioned in passing that she wanted some more cleanser for her hair. I thought it was a odd phrase, so I asked her what she meant. She was talking about Miss.Jessie products, and told me she was ordering them online. I gave her the local hook up for those products and we spent an hr chatting about cowashing and natural hair, and other brands of products.:D:D:D:D:D Was good to find someone (who i work with every day! can you imagine?) that is on the same page with all things hair.
 
:grin: I am so happy that I've finally learned to clean, condition & style my own hair. Biggest reward --- I don't have to deal with stylists who want to chop my hair off and rake my hair like leaves at every visit.

I'm also thrilled that I've figured out (with some research) how to recreate many products that I've drooled :lick: over since starting my natural journey.
