Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I thought my anxiety would die down after I got my hair done last week. I did a 5 month no heat stretch and was really anxious to see how long my hair was and if it was healthy.

I still have a while to go before ApL. My hair appeared healthy at first but upon examining my ends I still found a lot of splits even after having gotten it trimmed at the salon. Been trying to search and destroy which is exhausting.

It calmed my anxiety a little, but I'm still kinda nervous about my ends and also still waiting to make APL. To me thats when my hair will really feel long. My hair is currently the longest its ever been but just barely, my hair was pretty close to this long in grade school before but never APL. I think I might have another 2 inches or so to go. So end of this year or very early next year I'm hoping to make APL.
 
So I decided I wanted to see some black people so I went into the city for a bit yesterday. So much natural hair, I love it. Saw mainly twists. A few short cuts. And a few fros.

I wish it were still summer I'd play around with some loose styles. For now I'll just stick with alternating bt twists and wigs. Not looking forward to twisting my hair at all, its so tedious and time consuming. maybe I'll try some bigger ones this time. I'm going to visit my mom overseas soon in a beautiful country I've never been to and all I can think about is, "i wonder if she can twist my hair for me while I'm there?" lol.
 
i did something weird with my hair.

i was going to do that whole rope twisting thing, but i got annoyed with all the twirling and such. ha...so i decided to braid the base, twist the middle and then braid the end. my only real reason for doing it is to see if it'll last longer this way. i'm shooting for 4 weeks in these. the good thing is, i keep my ends hidden...so i dont have to worry about it looking too "crazy"
 
I love putting my hair in twists. Every Sunday. I love doing that even more bc it's a totally justifiable reason to not do any schoolwork on Sunday. And it guarantees that I'll watch at least one movie a week or a barrage of shows for more than 1 hour on end. I don't crack open a book. I have my hair to do and hair goals to meet!
 
Should I start a healthy ends challenge? I'm on the fence. I have to figure out a way to have fabulous ends. :perplexed:
 
Okay so my hair is a tangled mess. I'm under the steamer just hoping these tangles magically work themselves out without me having to play tug-of-war with them. Gonna be one long and painful wash day.
 
I found a HG item. . .KeraCare Edge Tamer! It's a little 'spensive, but so far I'm loving the outcome!!

Okay I take bath the HG part, as I haven't had it on more than 5 minutes. Have to see if it flakes or does something crazy to my hair, but it's close to making the short list.

Anyone with natural hair have any experience with this?
 
decided to give sulfur a whirl again. i have some that ive had for a while...only a little bit left and thought i'd use it up. i was never consistent with it. we'll see if it helps add anything "extra" to my growth. that'd be nice.

mixed it with rice bran, apricot, avocado and a little castor oil. ((shrugs))

i'm really excited about the idea of making it to brastrap. i'm sure i'll make it there this time. every time ive gotten around armpit or near it, i would get this really weird urge to cut my hair (for a few different reasons, but mostly just whim)...so i've never made it past that point. i can tasssste it. of course i'm closer in some parts of my hair than others, but i'll take it wherever i can haha. i'm hoping i can make it there (in the back) in the first quarter of 2012. maybe i can make it there on the sides in the 2nd quarter? hmmm
 
Where the hell did my edges go?! I'm just now noticing my anorexic edges. Good thing I didn't toss the castor oil!
 
I'm really thinking I need to stop the cocktails to help my hair grow...all the supplements in the world can't help a bad diet. It's time to focus...Dang I like my bubblegum vodka

i am determined to be low heat in 2012.

as much as i love heat i think i might get my hair to its optimal level without it.

It boggles my mind how threads that are created for advice on how to handle certain situations quickly turn into battles b/c of one person. Sad how people lose sight of the real purpose of LHCF...
