Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I don't know where else to put this thought but here it goes:Ladies please love on your daughters or any young lady that is in your grasp.Encourage them to accept and love themselves.I see too many little girls hating themselves down to their hair bc mom says your ugly,nappy headed little itch.

Ok now on to dire hard hair thoughts my hair needs to stay moist or its getting the axe.I hope to do some treatments over the weekend for now on so Jan 1 I can relax and have a healthy head of hair.
 
@GoddessMaker it's nice that you put that reminder out there about our influence on our little girls...my dd is only 3.5 and is already showing awareness regarding hair..lately she specifically requests that her hair be put in two strand twists so that she can shake it, tuck it behind her ear and casually move it out of her face. It's amazing what they see and absorb.

I get an odd sense of satisfaction when people thing my wigs are actually the hair growing out of my scalp.

Good. They should.

I hate when people wear wigs and/or weaves and they look like they are wearing a wig and/or weave. The point is to fool people. They're supposed to think it's yours. If I can look at a person (outside of LHCF and hair blogs) and think 'oh that's a nice wig they have on', they have failed failed FAILED!
 
I got some highlights.

I love my soft boat bristle brush.... I had been using a hard bristle brush for the past two years and my edges were not growing out (they werent thin just short)....when I decided to switch to a softer brush viola they are growing out... Wish I would have started this years ago... Lesson learned
 
I'm mad that folks are all into my hair advice now that I'm relaxed..my advice was just as good when I had locs and when I was a loose natural :perplexed

I'm so ashamed of all the old products I have to throw out because of my PJism 3+ years ago. :ohwell: Now I'm really weighing every product purchase decision carefully because all that waste in money and product is ridiculous..
 
Since this is the first time that I've been relaxed in four years, I have to get use to seeing shed hair again. When I was natural the only time I saw shed hair is during my detangling session.

And I wanting to try Wen, but I don't want to spend my money on it and it doesn't work :perplexed
 
I wish I had a cool modern cell phone so I could display this cool hair style I'm rocking. It's basically a two day old braid out. I have a small section parted from the side to the ear french braided. Like the image below.

I put a thin brown stretchy band around my hair twice because it's old and extra stretchy. Plus it blends in well with my hair color. I think it would also be cute with a puff or an updo.
 
Did an avocado protein treatment last night, and a Kenra-and-Silk Elements DC mask overnight (it was so thick...).

This morning was running late for class, so just washed it out, put in some KCKT leave-in and Shea Moisture Curl Milk, with the protein spray, and made a messy-ish french roll, then headed out the door.

the weather in MA for the weekend is supposed to be divine, so i'll be flat-ironing tonight! First time in a month (flat-iron once a month/ wear straight once a month)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

WE WE WE SO EXCITED!

I had to throw my 2 bottles of wen away. Fig and tea tree. ;( Out went my Bee Mine and oyin burnt sugar and my AOHSR and AORM. I thought I would have time to add it to my checked baggage at the airport. Next time I will double check under the sink before I run out the door to the airport.
I am still kind of sad. I was looking forward to washing my hair. I need an intervention. I am in Alaska and I don't know where to buy AO here.

I still want to straighten my hair but the urge is declining. I think it helped that I was able to straighten my lil cousins transitioning hair for her.
 
I have blow dried my hair twice in the last four weeks. The first time my hair felt soft and fluffy. All I did was shampoo, condition, and apply shea butter to my hair before blow drying. The second time I applied shea butter and grapeseed oil. I never used that oil on my hair before and I won't do it again because my hair felt like straw :perplexed.

I'll blow dry my hair after I deep condition it this weekend following the former routine and see how it feels.
 
I decided to do some finger coils on my TWA. Started yesterday. Finished today. Only used shea butter. I BCed September 10th. So why do I have a head full of SSKs already?

"...talking divorce & we weren't even married..."
 
Was playing in my hair a few minutes ago and I randomly made 4 small twists they finally hang to APL, I was pleasantly surprised! :grin: I thought I would have to grow my hair to almost booty length for that to happen given the amount of shrinkage I have but nope growing it to near WL did the trick. :grin:

To each her own. I'm relaxed and am really loving WEN. I also didnt want to shell out the money but I went for it. BESIDES, there are various websites where you can try it and if you're not happy, return it with no problem. If you're really curious, I'd say try it; best to know then to continue wondering. You may be missing out on something you'll come to love!

That's it. I can't take it anymore. This stretch is getting cut short. When I go home for Thanksgiving Break, I'm getting a relaxer. 30 weeks? Pshhh. 24 is enough.

:yahoo: It's getting long again! When hair length starts to exceed arm's reach for a rollerset that is a sign that it's getting long. Thank you Jesus!:clapping:

The formula of faith+works+prayer= long healthy hair seems to be working...:pray:.

:grin:

ETA: Broke out the maxiglide and it's official, MBL (:blush: genuine surprise).
