Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I saw someone out today with hair similar to mdwezi. I was like whoa that is ALOT of hair, I didn't think it was real at first. Its funny how you are used to seeing hair online but its a totally different thing in person. Like when my coworker got her hair straightened, it was BSL which is pretty common on the hair forum and usually not seen as a big deal around here; but in person it was like dang her hair is long as heck and BSL is a lot of hair.

It also reminded me just how different everyone's hair is. Tho both my hair and the girl I saw today would both be typed as 4b our hair is very different. My hair will never look that full.
 
My hair is growing sooooo slow. It grew so fast last year from my short cut and now its like a snail. I hope this is just a bad year and soon the growth will pick back up.

But I said going into this year when I noticed my growth had slowed down, that I was going to be patient and not trip. Just be happy for any progress at all. As long as its getting longer, thats a reason to celebrate, doesn't have to be lightning quick just so it keeps moving forward.
 
I had such a rough day at work and nothing got done at all. :-( It was so bad. I felt so unaccomplished! :-(

I think I will treat myself to some serious spa care-- hair, skin, nails, feet, face pack. Already doing a pre-treatment with Aubrey Organics GPB conditioner. Then I am going to wash, deep condition, and set with Silk Dreams Products. I :love: Silk Dreams! :scratchch I wonder if Silk Dreams is a man because I want to marry him and have its baby. :look:
 
I am pzzed to the nth degree, and it's my fault for trusting people to do the right thing.

I asked an associate to pick up some Lacio Lacio on his trip up north. He told me that the salon said that the brand was replaced by some Brazilian Silicon HC system, which he 'purchased' for me from the stylist.
I went to Sally's yesterday, and I saw the stuff there. hmmmm.
Then, something told me to check the price labels on the bottle. Y'all, the labels had a beauty supply store, neon green label on it, with the name of the store on it as well. I'd been HAD!

I had to order Lacio Lacio from Amazon, something that I was trying to avoid in the 1st place. Why lie? Just tell me you forgot or that you couldn't find it.
 
I'm bored with my hair. It's too long to be short n' cute, and too short to be long n' luscious. Can't wait until it gets past this SL-APL hump.

I hate coconut oil so much. SO. MUCH. SOMUCH. There are a few products that haven't worked very well for me and they all contained that demonic oil.

I need some porosity control in my life.

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!

Man, I so know what you mean. Hell, when I see full APL in real life, i'm still like whoa, that looks long!!
 
for some out if the blue reason i have been obsessed with natural hair. i finally feel ready to transition to natural...my last relaxer was at the end of july so i guess my transition begins...

i think im scared lol.
 
For as long as I've known DH he's had a thing for short cut hair....lately he's been noticing that my hair is "getting long" as he puts it...and he seems to be REALLY feeling it:giggle:
 
I DC'd yesterday with the turbie twist steam method. I liked it. My hair did turn out really soft. I'll have to see what its like for the rest of the week. I think I'll add homemade steaming to my regimen. Maybe before flat ironing.

I totally did not gel last night. My Fibromyalgia and Seasonal Allergies did a number on me so I just cowashed, braided up the hair with some HEHH left in and called it a night. Maybe I'll gel tonight for date night. Yeahhh baby! :)
 
Is it crazy that if I find a stray hair that is not mine I do a strand test on it?
I just want to see how other people hair strength is compared to mine.
Well I always stand test my own hair I can tell when it's improving.
The few times I found some other chick's long a$$ hairs on me their hair is strong it almost slices my hand open.

I never thought to do this, other people's hair gross me out .....BUT I may just have to get over it:look:
 
I did my first official twist out last nite. :blush: I shampoo'd, dc'd then added my leave ins + shea butter + some foaming lotion + some Eco. Took me about an hour to finish. Pinned the twists down so they'd lay flat, then tied my scarf on and went to sleep. Woke up this morning and hair was maybe 85% dry, 75% in the back. Unraveled them and fluffled a bit, bobby pinned here and there. I like it. :yep: It's frizzy and less defined in the back, but I attribute that to it being wet when I unraveled it. Gonna try sitting under the Pibbs for maybe 15 mins before going to bed next time. Also gonna try using less shea butter, because I'd like it to be a *bit* more defined. All in all I really am pleased. I like that it's stretched so I get more length, and that I didn't have to walk out the house w/ a wet head this morning. I heart my wash n go's but I felt like doing them every day was too much on my ends for some reason, they always feel ratty even though I recently trimmed. So I'll try twist outs for a few weeks to get them perfected. :) Just another shout out to natural hair... I'll never relax again, ever. My hair is freakin awesome.
 
Why did the lady at Sally's suggest the synthetic hair dry shampoo after I asked her specifically about the Bastiste dry spray shampoo?

Does my bunny tail look that fake?

Nah other ppls hair (strangers) grosses me out too, I assume it's covered in booboo crumbs :lol: . People are gross, plus I just watched the movie Contagion, so I'm kinda giving everyone the side eye.. :look:
 
DC my hair last night and oiled with EVCO. No tangling issues and my hair felt long, strong and healthy. Yay!!! I LOVE MY HAIR!!! :reddancer:It's really been acting right lately, even at 22 wks post texlax. Yayyyyy! :reddancer:
 
My curl junkie smoothing lotion just came! Can't wait to use it tomorrow ! It smells reallly good, just like Pink Sugar!
 
I wonder if its ok to use curl junkie deep fix over night?? I usually overnight dc with no problems but idk with this dc.

i'm mudding tonight. It's been about a week since my last mudisode. Mudding then twisting up for a weekend twistout.

When the heck is my fnwl buttah and oryals (oils :lol:) coming. shoot!!
 
mixed up another batch of buttery/oily stuff. it started out with a base of oyin burnt sugar pomade that i added other stuff to, but now, it's mostly "other stuff" lol

cocoa butter, castor oil, avocado oil, rice bran oil, sunflower oil, apricot kernel oil.

i melted the cocoa butter down and then add the other stuff and then i put it in the freezer to let it solidify. i prefer it solid and not liquidy.
 
Sooo after my mini stretch I :love: it! My hair feels so thick! It already was though lol. I can't wait to straighten it. Hopefully I gained some noticeable length as well
