Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Imani I'm glad it looks like a possible staple style for you! When I do twists I don't really comb out each individual piece, just pull from detangled sections, add product, and twist. Never needed a dryer. Hope this eliminates a couple steps for you!
 
What is this crap about now im natural im meant to not fear the rain and go dancing in it and forget the umbrella??

Was at a HBCU event today and it started sprinkling rain. The ladies was ducking and dodging from the rain. I remember those days but now that I know water isn't poisonous, I politely let my tresses soak it all in. :yep:

i stay running from the rain natural or relaxed. i hate my hair being wet especially if it has gel in it. now i dont mind a little mist or drizzle but i still dont want it ****** up my style:nono:
 
i had the best roller set ever, and it was done by me! i got so many compliments. my mother said i did a better job than my stylist.

YES!relaxed or natural rain was not my friend to go jumping in it without a care in the world:nono:
 
Relaxed or natural, rain has always been fun to me.....unless I'm headed to work or an important meeting. When I was a kid, I absolutely loved playing in the rain :drunk: My friends and I would play what I'll call 'rain games'. :grin:
 
@Napp and @Embrya - I'm definitely not saying I'm out singing in the rain during a down pour. What I am saying is I recall running from the lightest drizzle back in the day because I didn't want my hair to "draw up." Now that I know rain isn't harmful, I am okay with getting it drizzle, misted and sprinkled on. I bun almost 99% of the time so even if I was caught in a down pour, my day wouldn't be ruined either but I don't make it a habit to just prance in the rain without an umbrella.

ETA: Who is just walking out in a down pour without an umbrella and loving it? I hate having being soggy wet.
 
Trimmed my ends today. Hopefully i won't need to when I straighten at the end of the year. I trimmed my hair smothered with dc,and just stretched it all the way down.:look:
I took off up to .5 ins in some places. My ends feel really smooth. I hope they stay that way!

Awesome! Details. What did you do? I need to start trying to rollerset and I could use the pointers.
 
Got a trim at an aveda salon yesterday and it did me a world of good. Lost about 2-3 inches but its all giod. My hair feels so much better now.

I understand what you mean:yep:

I just noticed with natural hair its like people think no styling went into your hair so getting it drenched in rain isnt going to make any difference because your hair is untamed anyway:nono::lol:
 
i have so much NG i dont know how i will make it to 12 weeks. im gonna focus on getting a tighter rollerset next time because the roots in the back feel like a jungle already
 
I'm over this sew in and the broad that did them. It's only been a week and the tracks are already loose and a braid is already coming out the bottom. I shall return to my wigs from here on out. This is ridiculous.
 
I am really over my relaxed ends but I like being able to put my hair in 6 plaits under my wig. If I BC now I won't be able to do that. Decisions...decisions...

Embrya Hahaha .. it's really because I hate carrying an umbrella and I'm always losing them :lol: Plus I'm rarely in a situation where I'll be in the rain more than 30 seconds without a car nearby.

Something has been so off about my hair, so I have started eliminating products to figure what it could be. So far I have eliminated Hot Six Oil and Elasta QP DPR 11+ but I think I need to ditch all of the Elasta QP products. I have alternated between these products and One N Only Argan oil line for a while now. I have never really paid close attention until a few weeks again how differently my hair responds. The weeks I use One N Only products, my hair has fullness that last for days and very little breakage. On the weeks I use Elasta QP products, I noticed I have more shedding but not the point to be considered alarming.

I am six weeks post relaxer so I am going to use the One N Only Argan oil products for the next six weeks of my relaxer stretch. My only concern is while I love the smell of this line I just don't want to get sick of it.
 
My internet has been down for 3 days:cry: It's back up and running now:yay: I guess I can survive without logging onto lhcf:look:

Need to wash - DC - Steam & poo wash...tomorrow I guess.

ETA: Well I did sneak on here on a friends computer we were visiting...does that mean I have a problem:look:

Nix08 - you do NOT have a problem! I don't know what I'd do without the LHCF app on my phone! It's how I do most of my lurking and posting. I can't imagine the horror of not being able to log in at all for 3 days! :lachen:

Glad you're back!
 
sunnieb....lol....I'll also confess that I logged onto my phone briefly just so that I could keep the email subscriptions coming:spinning: No blackberry app (that I'm aware of):cry:
 
After cowashing tonight I wanted to try my own personal goal test: being able to touch/pull my own hair by putting my hands behind my back. HOLDEMUP! I could feel some strands back there. Trust, I couldn't grab a handful of hair...but just enough to give me hope. Kinda think I won't be seeing APL until 2012...but I'm already crossing into unchartered waters for me so I'm still happy. Can't wait until my next touch up so I can see what I'm REALLY working with!

That Oyin Shine and Define is fantastic! It was the most expensive product buy I have made since I've been natural but it was totally worth it. My fro is pleased :yep:
 
NJoy

I washed, conditioned and combed out my hair. I then let it airdry without tying my hair down and when I went to go flat iron it, I could NOT get a comb, no matter how wide- toothed, through it.

I had to wet it again and blow dry it. :nono:
 
Reconsidering roller setting at 12 weeks post. I got through it but not without incident. My ng is super dense and a beast to work with.
