Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Waiting I line to see Kevin Hart live. spending wait time reassessing my length goals, hemline and whether to stay layered based on all these weaves and wigs out here.welcome to Hotlanta.
 
My hair might have had a late summer growth spurt? Or maybe it's from the added protein in my diet or the more consistent exercise. I did a length check a day or two ago and nearly scared myself when I saw how long my hair was. I remember having just passed my collar bone and now it is clearly way past that point. Don't know what caused it but I'll take it. :grin: Maybe I might make it to APL by the end of the year after all. lol
 
An older relative of mine was in total awe of my flat ironed natural hair. It was funny, she wanted to touch it and everything. I guess it didn't look real/too nice forsomeone who does not have "good hair", lol.

I'm supposed to flat iron two more times by the end of this yr. Wondering if that's too much, that would put me at 5 times for 2011. That's funny coming from me since a year ago I was flat ironing weekly.


Im finally starting to feel validation that my regimen is working. It gets boring and super tedious, tiring, and time consuming on wash day. But its been totally worth it.

Wonders why my low porosity hair hates avj about 95% of the time. The other 5% it will tolerate avj in some products based on how the overall product is formulated. So inconsistent. :look:
 
Need to make an appointment to get another install done this weekend. I might be bold and go with red hair this time. Gotta jazz it up a bit for Halloween.

Almost back to BSL! :D I think I'm going to get a small trim today. Ignore my dirty mirror :look: Does the flash make it look worse or something?! Because I swear that's not how it looks.

I'm 3 months post and my hair is a mess. I've been wearing braids under wigs & washing every 3 or 4 weeks but I lost a lot of hair after the last wash. Trying to decide if I should do a weave, which would til around Veteran's day or relax & trim. I had a big setback in April so I need to trim whenever my hair is straight enough to do so.
 
I gotta figure out this twist out thing. Tried doing it on dry/blow'd out hair - fail. Semi damp hair - fail. Everything turns into a fuzzy puffball by the time I make it to work. I'm still experimenting with products.
 
Polished off liter of Giovanni Route 66 conditioner doing co-washes, oil rinses, conditioner after poo. The product moisturizes and performs well after diluting with water.
 
Hi Ladies :hiya:

The good news is I flat ironed my hair yesterday and I so so love the progress I'm making. I think I'll be past APL by Dec. I played in my hair for like 20 minutes in the mirror.

The bad nesw is one of my co workers that has a Halle Berry cut advised me that I need a "serious trim" because I have a lot of split ends.

I just had a "serious trim" in July and there is nothing wrong with my ends. I have some seriously healthy hair I take really good care of it thanks to the help of the members of LHCF. I tried to explain that some of my hairs are growing faster than others so it may look sort of uneven. But she assured me with all two inches of her hair that I was wrong.

I said "let me get away from you and your scissor happy self".

tapioca_pudding - I'm relaxed so I'm unsure if this will apply to you - I moisturize my hair really good before twisting and I apply extra product to my ends to minimize frizz. After unraveling, I carefully fluff to cut down on tangling and frizzing. I've seen youtubers suggest that overly fluffing and seperating the hair causes frizz.
 
Wow. I hadnt even noticed that this wasnt the original thread when I peeked in until you (SVT) said that. I understand but I hope that doesn't happen with this thread... I like threads that allow me to be able to vent about my hair frustrations or be happy about my progress, or just say what's on my mind as it relates to hair care.

Oh well... It's picture day at my daughter's school today. I did bun at the top with back half down, thought it turned out pretty. I wonder how it will look when she gets home lol... Lately, I feel happy that my hair is a bit longer and sad that it looks much thinner too. Im wondering if I should try castor oil, Dr. Miracle's Hair thickening lotion, or something called "Follicular?" (Im not sure but I think that's the name.)

Shout out to my satin pillow for keeping my sew in weave fresh and fly. I love that thing. I think I might have to change all of our pillow cases for the sake of my hair.
 
Wrapping my hair gives it an awesome look but it does the job a little too well. My ends look so flat and thin like they need to be trimmed and they don't. What gives? #Sigh

THis is probably a dumb questions, but if you really increase your protein intake, does it affect the hair that has already grown out of your scalp or just the new growth. And how so? I'm thinking it's just the new growth though.
 
hellllllo dear brother, what have you got there? nothing nothing! you only see air. donnnnnt be silly, i love you very much....i guess i shouldnt touch.


overnight dc'ing my braids. ao hsr & ao wc with castor oil mixed.
 
Yep this side part really makes a difference.

My hair is liking this castor/hemp oil combo. Need to pick up more castor oil :yep:
 
*sigh* i've been a smidge m-i-a lately. school has really got me busy, and my hair is suffering for it....boo.

i'm gonna try to keep myself up this year, and keep my hair going. it's one of my favorite activities, washing my hair...i always feel so accomplished when doing it. quite relaxing, really.

*le sigh*
 
When men start losing their hair I say "Shave that ISH". No. Really. I wish they would stop holding onto that basketball rim of hair. It's over. Game over. Let it go. Ladies, tell your male friends, your transgendered friends, all of em. And I don't care what race they are. Howie Mandell rocks that baldie well. So does Vin Diesel. Mmmm.

Bump those women that say they need hair to run their hands in! BOOOOO! A soft baldie is far more attractive than that rim shot head.
 
Since yesterday ALL of my hair follicles have been really itchy. I don't have nits. My scalp is a bit sore today. I'm gonna massage it with coconut oil today I wish I still had some tea tree oil.
