Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

After dealing with this annoying project, I cannot WAIT to curl up with a hot cup of tea and deep condition my air. I'm SO looking forward to it.
 
Sooo it seems like I'm coming down with a cold - just drank my garlic tea (it usually works wonders):yep: Put my hair in two french braids....I'm tired but quite excited as I just learned how to do these yesterday. The end product looks decent but the process is very clumsy:ohwell: I'll keep practicing:yep:
 
I am now weave free and thank GOD I took it out when I did b/c while at work, tracks started sticking out. #notkosheratall
 
Tried to do a "beachy waves" bantu knot dealy like strawberricurls showed in her video yesterday. Just ended up poofy and stuff. I've been wearing my hair up so much that it has forgotten how to act, I think. When I got it home I braided it up in a bunch of random ol' braids.

Went to the gym with most of them pulled back in a bun, and the white chicks were all complimenting me on my "go to bed" style. Heh.

I'm sitting in class right now and the girl next to me says "excuse me, what did you use to get your hair so long?" I've never had an outright stranger ask me like that so I looked a little surprised I guess because she said "no one ever asked you that?"

Anyway y'all know I ripped out a sheet of paper and jotted down my 5 staple products, wash day regimen and the link to a black hair forum. Not this one though cause I'm talking about her :lol:

@LadyRaider Really! Sure :)

I wash 1x a week with shampoo in braids which are loose at both the scalp and the ends to prevent my fine strands from tangling. I'm not picky about brand as long as it doesn't tangle my hair. Right now I'm using Mizani Botanifying shampoo, but when it runs out I don't plan on repurchasing because it's a little pricey for shampoo IMO. I then apply my protein reconstructor which is now Shescentit Okra Reconstructor. I leave this on for about 25minutes with a plastic cap and rinse. Next I apply Shescentit Avocado Conditioner for 30minutes with heat or 1 hour without heat. I detangle after this step and then rinse. Then I apply my moisturizer which is Darcy's Coconut Lemongrass Transitioning Creme and seal with Vatika Frosting. I typically airdry in braids so at this point I will set 6-8 braids and let it dry over night. Results in super soft hair!

I just realized that's only 4 staples instead of 5. The OCD in me is annoyed now!
 
i need to buy a satin pillow case today. gotta wash and roll my hair tomorrow night. i feel like going to the shop to get it done, but whatever.
 
This weekend I trimed back to APL and my hair is soooo much easier to deal with! the frosted ends were fun but I think my hair doesnt like color
 
I have little heat damage on the bang area :( it will take months to grow out and cut. Yet another reason to begin the no heat for a year challenge
 
I want my hair to keep growing healthy and full. I fell off the sulfur wagon because I can't find my oil. I need get back on it.
 
faithVA I went to Natural Pantry I bought AOHSR, AOR, gpb all of these x2 knotty boy gel and shampoo and vanilla vtae oil. Yea!!!! Thanks so much. I am glad I am in Anchorage and not one of those remote villages. We have 300,000 people here.

Woot! Thanks. I'm glad I asked!
 
So i usd the ovation cell therapy and and i wash with fast shampoo worked good.But alot of shedding on my ends coming out mybe putting the oct on my ends was not a good idea.
 
come on granny, send some of those growth genes over this way. GRRR! haha. last time i saw her, which was in august (i know, i knooooooow...too long), my grandmother was midback. she's always told me that her mom had hair down to her butt, but ended up cutting it because it gave her headaches. where's my piece of the length pie?! HUH?!! HUH?
 
My hair was hungry so I spoiled it!

Yogurt, honey and banana mixed with ORS hair mayonaise. Met sit for about am hour and a half

Laureal sulfate free strength poo

Trader joes tea tree tingle conditioner with a little honey

Coffee and nettle tea rinse

My hair is happy. On the not so great side, it just intensified my urge o BC, especially after defining the curls. I'll try to hold out until November. I promised DH I would do twists for awhile
 
I want to steam again.

I'm wearing my hair unstretched but I'm over curly hair for the moment so I will straighten it tomorrow.

My retention has been wack this year. Will I ever get to MBL?
 
I want to achieve this style via a wig or a sew in. How can I accomplish this? :perplexed
