Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

uuuuuuuuuuuugggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh im get ansy to take these braids down but i will be dyam i have this month to go
 
I wish I could just wake up in the morning and my hair would say, 'Mernin daddy!!! Time for some cereal!!!!' Meaning - 'Look ****, this is what I need. Use this. Throw that other **** away.'

But yeah, it doesn't do that. So I keep trying errything in the world to get my hair to behave.
 
I think I'm going to go into protective styles for the foreseeable future..
My hair is at this frustrating in between stage and I can't get styles to look right

at least if I go into twist I can concentrate on retaining moisture and maybe pinning it back
 
Having long(er) hair is the bomb.com! I never want to go back to short hair. Sooooo many more styling options and u can just pull it back if u are lazy/in a rush/bad hair day and it still looks cute.

My hair is only a little past my shoulders (longest ever in my life), I can't even imagine how fly its going to be when I'm APL and then BSL.

Going on a vacay for a while and not sure what I want to do to my hair. I was originally thinking twists...but they just don't last very long and i'm not trying to redo my hair while on vacay. Maybe, start out twisted, then just pull it back, like a twist out the rest of the time? idk. or i could just wig it the whole time?

Girl, wear your hair out...at least some of the trip. It sounds like you're really njoy'g your length. Why not fully njoy yourself on your trip. You'll feel fabulous!!

That's my vote. :yep:
 
Why didn't I just do the pin curls last night? I put in too many bantu knots and instead of cascading waves, I have a super tight, overly curly frizzball!

Hopefully these curls fall throughout the day because my husband's company is having an event tonight.

*sigh*

Why are you breaking, dear hair? I thought I was treating you very well, and now all of a sudden you're giving me attitude? Ugh. I don't know what more you could want :cry:

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!

I can't even begin to think about affording Wen right now. But there are a few women who've come into my salon who use Wen and they have INSANELY healthy color-treated hair and non-treated hair. I may ask for some for Christmas or as a graduation gift or something. I seriously hated the Sally's version though.
 
Recently decided that i was going to transition for 3 years, but thought today that if I just do 2 years I can experience short hair (in a way, if you count the shrinkage) I guess I have to wait til next year and see what I am feeling.
 
Now that ive gotten my 50th corrective relaxer my hair is finally happy again.. no more self relaxing or salon hopping for me.. i will stick to only washing, setting and styling my own hair from now on... I'll leave the relaxing to my stylist.

As much as I'm LOVING my current sew in, my scalp is not. I have been itching like a mad woman since getting it in a week ago. I got the African Royale BRX braid spray which usually helps, but it hasn't been lasting very long. Few minutes after spraying it, my head is itching yet again. And I know the itch is not associated with growth like I used to think lol
 
Thanks to lhcf and this obsession with hair im now in beauty school.... Can't wait to be done and start this new career

You are welcome HanaKuroi. And welcome to LHCF. You can mention by putting the @ symbol in front of the member's username.

I am excited too. Please let us know about the store. I have an image of what I think Alaska is like but that's just based off of tv :ohwell:

And thank you NIN4eva. It hurt me too that she had to get rid of all those products :sad:
 
I need to pick up some braid spray for my braids under this weave-NikkiQ just reminded me.

I think I'll actually take it down tonight and redo it. I need a v-shape leaveout. Blending is annoying to me with a small horseshoe.
BTW-this kinky straight is so realistic. LOVE it.
 
this marathon training is making having hair a living hell!

I am seriously considering getting rediculoulsly long braids or twists after my Bday in nov.
 
Impromptu decision to unbraid my cornrows and wear a braidout. It turned out really nice except, since I wasn't intending to do a braidout, I didn't make sure my hair was braided to the end and curled. I washed my hair and allowed the ends, which partially unravelled, to airdry so, the ends were straight. Still, it looked pretty good. I'm going to do a real braidout soon, now that I know what to do. :yep:
 
Will someone come over and finger detangle my hair for me:) I am exhausted:/ I hope I feel up to it by Sunday because next week is going to be crazy

Yeah I'm enjoying the length bc its straight right now. But this wknd its back to shrinkage, frizz, tangles, etc. Not straightening again til thanksgiving.

I've never worn my hair natural "out" so I'm not sure what that would entail. I imagine matting, tangles, and irritation. Not trying to deal w that while I'm out of the country for 10 days.

I do plan to exeriment w a twist out this wknd which would be my first "out" natural style ever so we'll see how it goes. My hair is very kinky and all it wants to ever do is shrink into an afro, and even tho its not pc to say on here, I don't like how I look w a fro.

Father, why doth this woman torment me so? Especially when she knows good and well that I'm in the HYH challenge and am not supposed to be flashing pics all over the place, Lawd? Why doth she contribute to my lawlessness? Why doth she provoketh me to satisfying the flesh. Why, oh Wonderful One? Whyyyyy???


*sigh* Ok, Nakia. The straight ends will make a mockery of my being pleased with how the braids crimped my hair. But for you...for you, oh Pushy One, I will post one or two temporarily.

Be right back. :lol:

:blush::blush::look:


Satisfied? :rolleyes:

But still. All in all, I'm very pleased with how the cornrowed part turned out. Much better than when I tried regular braids. The waves are tight and better clumped. I'm going to try it again and make sure it's braided all the way. I'll feel more comfortable posting those pics but, yeah, thanks for putting me on the spot. I'll see you soon. :spank: nakialovesshoes
