Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[YaniraNaturally]

I am crying, smiling and laughing all at the same time right now

I wanted to document my hair journey from my first perm to now but I couldn't find any pictures of my hair out. Anyway long story short I found two pictures and I started crying when I saw them because 1) I remember how unhappy I was with my appearance (thinning hair, flaky scalp, dandruff, bald spots, terrible acne and hyperpigmentation) and 2) my appearance, self esteem and hair have done a total 180. Today I am very happy to be YaniraNaturally

Amazing. I finally get enough nerve to upload my first YT vid and the damn uploader won't work.

O-M-G Deep Conditioning on dry hair.........why couldn't I get down with this concept until now. My hair has come such a long way from those bone-dry days and yet it has never ever felt this soft! I kid you not, it feels like barbie hair, I can't even believe my fingers!

Adding another 1000 mcg of Biotin to my Hairfinity was exactly what I needed! YAY growth spurt!! I can't wait for my next wash day. I may actually be back at full APL/BSB by my birthday after all!

In the fall/winter I don't mind stretching at all...

Felt so good to be able to walk in the rain this morning and not worry about my hair #teamnatural

Thinking of adding a montly blow dry session to my reggie and throw in some twists. Gotta do some more research on it. I'm scared CRAPLESS of heat!

NikkiQ I reccommend this if you don't already have a good heat protection spray. My ng always curls back with no damage. That could also be because I blow dry damp hair on the coolest setting WITH a protective spray too though. Yeah I'll admit I'm scurred. I haven't been transitioning for 10 months to have heat damaged tresses.

^^^I think I had that product before and never really liked it. I may have to revisit it again. I have been liking the results I get with Beyond the Zone's heat protectant spray as well. All the suggestions I can get, the better lol

 

[theLovelyStyle]

Im getting bored with my braidouts! I need to learn some new protective styles!

*sigh* I managed to ignore that movie but lately I've been seeing random references to it around the internet... ugh I hate how people are watching it and thinking they know everything about black women and their hair. The fact tjat HBO is playing it again means it gets ratings...

ETA: I just read this review for a product on another site erplexed

My daughter no longer has frizz hair. When used for blowdrying, the hair comes out bouncy and moveable. My daughters' hair was so cute and flowing, that even a white person commented on how cute their hair was. No pun intended, but that shows how great these products are.

I have my first YT video posted. Whoo hoo!! It's just a slide show though

One of the benefits to going natural, is when I run across knuckle heads I have dated previously they don't recognize me When he didn't recognize me immediately you should have seen me pick up the pace and get out of there.

it just goes on and on about wigs, weaves and perms ...

this war against hair products is not working, my kitchen needs a rest and this weekend I will NOT mix anything disappointing, which means I won't mix anything at all.

I have got to stop twirling the hair at my nape. Not sure how I picked up this habit.

 

[PinkyRang]

20 weeks post in a 26 week stretch and I am so in love with my new growth that I want to transition, but I'm not sure about going natural, sigh.

Then that hair must be beautiful indeed! *sarcasm*

The Syntonics range looks good....

 

[HanaKuroi]

This is ridiculous. I want to wen, protein with curl junkie and dc. I don't know what order. The ridiculous part is that I just did terressentials 2 days ago. I think I am addicted to messing with my hair. My steamer is calling me too. All I want is a good movie, fluffy slippers, a warm robe and some hair shenanigans.

At the hospital waiting for my sister to give birth & all I can think about is going home & deep conditioning my hair & using my new products. I got it bad!

I've experienced the same since getting a relaxer.. a lot of people don't recognize me right off so it's a nice way to avoid people who annoy me and K.I.M before I'm forced to speak

I'm just gonna go ahead and put my review here for the Bee Mine deep conditioner because AfroDoll requested it.

Last week I used it after a cassia treatment, So after rinsing out the cassia my hair was a bit rough feeling.
At first I was a bit nervous about using it after the cassia because of the lotion/milk like consistency it didn't think it would be heavy enough to condition my hair because I normally like heavy thick conditioners.

I applied it in sections, and I noticed it smelled so nice. The fragrance is really nice, it has a light fragrance.
The conditioner had sooooo much slip. I was so surprised because the conditioner hasn't got any cones it.
I left it in for about 30 mins and when I rinsed it out my hair felt soooo good.
I love the conditioner. My hair has been very well moisturised all week but I don't if it was the conditioner or the Hairveda whipped ends leave I used.

I wouldn't buy it just because I am currently not in to commercial products that way. I have my staple products and I am sticking too them. But it really is a great product it definitely does what it says on the tub.

I'll give my review of the hair milk and moisturiser when I use them.

I really liked Baba de Caracol. It's very similar to Silicon Mix. Overheard some girls talking about my hair yesterday in class....

They were saying how much they loved it!

 

[SkySurfer]

Am I being really paranoid in that I don't even wanna wear my twist extensions down, in case my hair rubs against my clothes?
I mean..my hair should be protected enough in the extensions right? oh well not taking chances lol...
SMH....

 

[LifeafterLHCF]

I think my hair is in love with aloe vera and glycerin..I was reading a thread about dry hair here and someone mentioned they used aloe vera juice and glycerin.My hair seems to stay moist now..I know its too early to tell if my iron will help my hair also stay moist..if my hair can stay moist my hair my grow or retain..It will still get relaxed next year though..

Thanks for the review melissa-bee. Cone-free, slip, moisturised hair Sounds like a good condish, definitely going to try it.
