Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

this has nothing to do with hair, but i am excited about the A- i got on my first english paper...was nottttttt expecting that at all. it's been about 6 years since ive had to write an academic paper. i was so horrified.

in HAIR related news, i really want to use this bentonite clay that i have...and i'm trying to waiiiiiiit because i dont know if i'd be crazy to use it on braids. if i wait, it'd be at least a couple weeks (when i remove the braids)...but i reallllllly wanna tryyyyy it. i tried it a few years ago...but i dont remember what the results were.
 
okay okay hair, you win! No more blow drying, no more flat ironing.

I get it! You like to be air dryed. So let's find a common ground, I will give you the air dried twists and twists outs but you gotta work with me when I rollerset to see some length in the future. Sound like a plan?
 
Embrya it looks like you cut off a good amount of curly/healthy hair too.

I have heat damage at the front of my hair but if i were to cut it off i'd only have about an inch and half of hair left there - not a good look!!!

BublinThe curly parts your seeing are at the end of the hair my heat damage was mid shaft.......curls on top -bonestraight-curls at the bottom :nono:

The heat damage i see most tends to be all the way down not mid shaft like mine looking a fool:nono:

Embrya Oh no mid-shaft....how did you manage that? Well at least you got to a stage where you could cut off the damage. Right now i have about 4-5 twists that
look likt they've been done on relaxed hair. I thought i was using a good heat protectant - obviously not.

Think I'm gonna stop cowashing for a while and start deep conditioning with every wash.

Why not both? I've done this twice now... cowashed, then DC with steam. Seemed a little redundant, but I'm still trying to figure out reggie. I read somewhere about DC on dry hair? Would this be why you are doing one or the other? Tryin to learn :perplexed.

Congratulations! It's such a good feeling :yep:
 
I bought a bunch samples of Oyin for my cousin baby boy. He has very dry hair, I know the Oyin will help. I hope she gets it soon and enjoys it :giveheart:.
 
Damn you humidity!!! My office is hosting this huge conference today with some very important people and my hair looks like crap. When I left mt house I had nice spiral curls and now its a big poof :cry3:
 
I feel like I've just been treating my hair like a red-headed step child. I haven't done anything to it very much lately except have this install done. I'm tempted to take it out and give my hair a break until the next sew in.
 
My lowest layer of hair is in the middle of my brastrap now... *does happy jig*
Other layers of my hair are also finally below apl... I'm more happy about that :D

sighBublinin the 2 and a half years i transitioned i straightened my hair twice ........... i think it was the last time i straightened when i bought a new flat iron November last year:rolleyes:

I will prob try rollersetting my hair have you done it?

i prefer my natural curls to straight hair at this point so im not at the stage where im going to be flat ironing willy nilly lol

see i dont know if i believe in heat protectants i been scarred for life:lachen:

For the past few months my reggie has been:

Shampoo + deep condition
Co-wash
Shampoo+deep Condition
Cowash
ETC...

But I want to henna at least once a month now so I don't think there is enough space for a co-wash.

I've never tried a DC on dry hair, I don't think it would be effective because I seal with shea butter at least twice a week and don't think the DC would seep in to my hair as well.

Embrya - snap, i don't believe in heat protectants either and also too scared to use a flat iron or a blowdryer for that matter.

No i've never tried it on natural hair 1)because i don't have the time and 2) i doubt a rollerset will get my very curly hair straight.
 
my hair is driving me crazy! why can't i have normal thick strands that don't tangle. why? i cant stand looking at these people anymore who have no problems with their gorgeous flowey hair. they can buy what they want and use what they want and wash when they want and their hair is fine and they look cute with their hair in any way. my hair is a battle. a constant battle. it's not normal like others here. i am going to flip.

melissa-bee why? You can throw it this way! :lachen:

It used to make my hair hard! I hated it! Now I learned to just use a dime sized amount. :yep:

I put it on damp hair last night and when I woke up today my hair was still damp and the conditioner left a white residue on my hair. So I decided to put some shea butter in my hair and the white residue was even more noticeable :perplexed
I looked a hot mess, I put my hair in a bun like normal but all my hair is black except the part that makes the bun was white.

It was Giovanni's fault :cry2:

I have a hair crush on myself. All I have been doing since I relaxed is taking gentle care of my hair and it's behaving so well. I'm proud. I have been wearing it back in a bun, sometimes my own hair sometimes I had a small track for fullness. I can actually picture what it's going to look like when I'm SL and I LIKE IT!
 
If the hair on my head was as coarse (almost spelled it course :spinning:) as the hair on my chin, I'd have the bomb twists. :blush: Ya'll wouldn't be able to tell me nathan! :look::lol::perplexed
 
I'm always so surprised when I see someone make a comment about how hair is just hair and it's not that important. I always think to myself 'Do you know where you are right now?? You're on a hair forum....talking about how HAIR isn't that important..." I'm like uhhhhhhhhhhh......

To most people, hair forums don't exist, these are the people to which hair is not that serious. :look:
