Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I have so many thoughts but never really share them so here are some that come to mind.
- Some things make me speechless.
- HHJs can go from great to terrible in a blink of an eye.
- Self-styling is cool but it was so much cheaper (for me) when I was stylist dependent.
- Hair is like credit - takes a lot of work to stablish and maintain but can be damaged in a blink of an eye.
- Don't understand the hype around hair typing and heat training (note: I don't care too either so no need to take the time to explain :look: just being honest).
- Sometimes I lack patience to maintain a HHJ.
- Sometimes I stress over breakage when I know minimal breakage is unavoidable.
- I struggle with knowing how to gauge protein/moisture balance without experiencing a sign (i.e., breakage). I just don't grasp the strand test.
- I'm sure there is more but tis all for now
 
I really need a new avatar pic. I'm getting tired of looking at that one. It's been a while since my hair has looked cute enough for a new picture though :ohwell: Maybe by Christmas
 
I didn't expect to experience a second awkward phase with my hair, but here I am. Some layers are APL, some are shoulder length, others are ear length...I look crazy with my hair out. I should just cut my hair to give it a better shape, but I want to keep the length that I've gained.

It's getting cold now, so I'll just hide my hair until next year :ohwell:
 
I want to straighten my hair sooooo bad. I keep looking at the my flat iron, heat protectant and watching how to get that silky press videos on YouTube. I even brought some Cantu Shea Butter Super Shine Hair Silk this morning from Walmart.

But I can't because I put mini braids in my hair. Crazy thing is I did it on purpose because I don't want to use heat on my hair until the end of the year, so that I can be shocked by that extra 1 1/2 inches for New Year. (my own little personal challenge) So my plan is working I can't straighten my hair because the braids will take forever to take out :spinning:.....sigh.....

Because I don't straighten too often, I usually don't deny my hair straightening urges...lol

Have you ever put yourself on a hair challenge and then was frustrated by the challenge? Well I am!:yep: lol :lachen:

I felt/feel the same way about my hair. I've decided when I get to my goal of wl, I will start trimming every month until the crown of my hair catches up. I don't care about the front being shorter.
 
What do you ladies consider to be BSL? I thought it was once your hair reaches the bottom of your bra band (the wide one across your back). I saw two hair charts that had MBL at this spot instead. BSL on the charts was at the top of the band. What say you?
 
I ordered a LF wig that I fell in love with about 2 weeks ago. The website says they ship within 8-10 days. I am still looking for this darn wig to come. The person I ordered it from has not responded to my voicemail or emails. I am pissed! I really hope it is on the way though.
 
I got the itch to straighten my hair but I'm in a twist challenge till the end of December! :cry: I can hang though, I can hang...
 
My honey trimmed my hair using my creaclip last weekend. So glad he takes direction well but now that I look at the pic I am thinking I might chop of another 1/2 inch or so. I covered my back fat with the black heart :lol:

Dc'd with Olive oil Hair Mayo and yogurt and fell asleep. Everything was fine until I washed out the conditioner and started detangling.

Breakage city! :cry2: Sheddage Metropolis!!! :wallbash:

Then when I was finished I didn't feel my beloved curlies. So I DC'd again! And did a coffee rinse (I KNEW DH's caffeine habit was good for something!)

My hair is still mad at me for waiting so long to wash, but we are on speaking terms again.
 
my hair feels unusually moisturized and soft the past few days. it's weird, but i like it. i mean...actual moisture to the point where i probably could have gotten away with not moisturizing tonight (but i did anyway out of habit). that ao white camellia on dry hair i did the other day stepped things up...then i'm also using the white camellia mixed with water & castor oil in a spray bottle...sealing with whatever oil i feel like sealing with on whatever day. my roots feel great. my ends feel great. the whole strand feels great.

That's some pretty hair :lick: Nice and thick :yep:
 
My hair and castor oil are falling in love. They look so happy together. But it's so tragic because the castor oil is almost finished and my hair has already commited to a tub of shea butter.
 
Itching to try a pumpkin conditioner. Just don't know which brand yet. I love pumpkin everything at this time of year. I wonder if there are any cone-free pumpkin conditioners??? Hmmmm maybe Darcy's pumpkin conditioner...
 
I love love love my hair texture! I worked out this morning so my hair was floppy and wet. I set it with 4 bantu knots and took a hot shower.

The steam helped to set the waves and lock them in.

Man I love type 4 hair! So versatile! No hairspray required! :)

I woke up kinda mad at my hair today. I came to work and dreaded being here. Then some nice ladies gave me compliments on my fro and the world was right again. Whoever says hair doesn't matter can kick pebbles! lol.
 
Sometimes I have to remind myself that I don't hate my hair, I hate the length. I adore my hair, I just hate this awkward stage and that I feel so limited style-wise.

My natural hair hates coconut oil. :look: My relaxed hair LOVED the stuff, but I bought some all excited, and as soon as I rubbed it on my hair it got hard, matted, sticky.. I can't explain it. So the coconut oil will only be used on da body. My hair LOVES hemp seed oil, however. Mixed some in w/ my DC and lawdhammercy. :lick:

I made an appt to get some highlights tonight. Not using bleach, just want it lifted a few shades here and there. I'm so effin BORED. I need a change.
 
Oh, I got my Curl Junkie stuff last night. The Argan Daily Condish, the Curls in a Bottle, then some Donna Marie Curling Cream. Love the conditioner, gonna try it a few different ways. It's too expensive to use as a rinse out/wash n go condish, so I'm gonna try it as a leave in etc. The Donna Marie Curling Cream seemed nice, I didn't have to use a lot. It gave me mad shrinkage though. Tight lil angry curls, lol. I smoothed it over w/ the Curls in a Bottle. Overall I like that I didn't have to use a gel to get defined curls, my hair is still nice and soft. The shrinkage kinda annoyed me, but I figure as my hair grows these products will be nice and Ill have more hang time. I'm happy thus far.

I did some random twists last night before bed using aloe vera juice and Shea Moisture Curl Butter stuff (that's not what it's called, the one in the pink jar). My hair felt moist to a point but it looked super dull. I wasn't tryna rock the twists anyway, it was just a random occurrence. But I have to figure out how to use that product. It may get passed along to my nieces, their hair loves it.
