2 days with my hair out of this weave and i'm already over it.....i think i'll do yarn twists.
I actually dislike protective styling, but I just don't have any time to commit to styling my hair in out styles this semester. like all i can think of when rollersetting or whatever is how i could be studying or working on one of my side hustles...
 
i couldn't find the red magnetic rollers to save my life. so i had to get the tan ones. i thought i was going to have purple and red rollers like everyone else.
 
I need to log off LHCF(or any hair forum) because it makes me want to do my hair and buy products. Problem is, I have a sew in right now...so, yeah...I REALLY need to stick to my sew in challenge.

^^ same!
I could never shingle my hair w/gel multiple times a week because I would run out of gel too quickly :lol:


I'm starting to bun. Usually I twist my hair and make a bun, but I'm just going to make the bun w/out twists now. Mostly because I have to wash my hair frequently enough to make twists and detangling a nuisance. I need full access to my scalp, too.

adamsonPHEW lool glad its not just me!!im trying to stick to doing my hair once a week another reason why i use cheap gels:look::lol:
 
OMG i finally flatiron my hair myself and did a great job! it has so much body and bounce! I can now do any hairstyle I want without depending on a hairstylist especially to straighten! Only thing I don't know how to do myself is trim........don't think I want to take a chance with that just now.:look:
 
wow that cleansing cream shampoo from keracare ****ed my hair up its so dry!!! i cant wait to do a nice prepoo and deep condition with coconut milk!!!
 
<3 so many random hair thoughts!

-tomorrow morning (well, this morning) I'm going with a friend to get our hair done. we're getting Dominican blow-outs at a salon i can't STAND. Anyway, I decided to wash my own hair now/ tonight, and put a DC in it, so they can rinse it out for me tomorrow. That way, i won't have to pay the extra $10 for a DC under a heat cap, and i won't have to lug my own products with me, or suffer their sulfate-laced products. i'll just show up with my plastic cap under my head scarf under my hat, and make it happen, cap'n! i haven't been to this salon since June, they use too much heat and are generally unfriendly and always try to take some scissors to my head. AND i'll be taking my own wide-tooth comb! AND WHAT?!? <3


-ssk's are getting to me...some nights i fall asleep without tying up my hair, so it's more susceptible to such knots and tangles. boo.

-been trying to treat my hair right. it's getting colder, so it's gonna be twist-outs with my ends tucked in (PS-ing!) into french rolls, and top knots a few days after the twist-outs, with some nice coconut oil to seal it in the morning and at night!! gotta stay safe in this MA winter!

-overall, my hair has been having its ups and downs. my cowashes have been so-so, and i'm really just focused on using what I have left to the best of my abilities! Kenra is almost gone, it lasted about 3/4 of a year to a year, so can't complain about that.

-i want my hair to be BSL already! I give myself until August 2012 for it to be BSL, and March 28, 2012 for it to reach a healthy/ undeniable APL. I feel that once i'm at BSL, i'll chill out. it's my ultimate goal/ my medium-term goal

short term: APL
medium term (i'm satisfied): BSL to MBL
longterm/ life-long goal: WL

to be honest, i feel like after MBL, i'll get "bleh" and just...stop. so, let's work with what's working!
 
Put some ecostyler custard on my edges and guess what?

It curled!!! Guess that can happen when you don't slick them down everyday :look:

And my hair is so short and silky in the wack patch these twists keep falling out and I have to redo them. I've only had th a week! :wallbash:
 
i finally rolled my hair last night. i slept in them to air dry. i'm excited to see how this set turns out. i used really big rollers in the center. those plastic clips suck. i'm mad i spent $4 on at crap.
 
Gonna take my twists out today or tomorrow and hopefully they'll be pretty stretched for the work week and I DARE someone tell me I don't look good :giggle:
 
might be going out tonight with my man. his friends will be there. i haven't seen his best friend in a long time, so i know he is going to be judging me. my hair turned out nice. it looks more feathered than curled. i gotta find something to wear cute. i gotta be on point tonight.

my mother told me today that it doesn't take me as much time to do my hair now that i am relaxed. she stated it seemed like i was always doing something to my hair when i was natural. well she is right. i had to constantly keep my hands in my hair to avoid it from tangling and getting knots. i couldn't do my wash and gos anymore. my locs were easy too. loose natural hair for me was a lot of work. i don't see myself going back anytime soon.

So, not getting my hair done today. actually happy about that! i think i'll flat iron it for the week, maybe. but for now, sitting with DC on my head, lookin' cute. <3
 
Slicking my edges is not for me. My edges broke off. I was wearing puffs/puff ponytails and I wanted that smooth look. I didn't want to look like a fuzzy toddler head. I would slick and then add those evil black elastic headbands. I think the kind that are anti- slip are especially evil. They have that rubber inside. :P I didn't let it get out of hand though. I used Weleda Rosemary hair oil and Jbco and I see a huge improvement. It has been a month and I have baby hairs back and getting thicker.

How do you guys detangle your flexirod sets? I've given myself a whole new head of ssks with my latest adventure, and I have no idea how I'm going to wash my hair with it all coiled up like this. I finger detangle a section and when I let go it coils back up on itself. This is a mess! :nono:
 
Mische You need to do an oil rinse or chicoro's pre poo with aloe Vera oil and conditioner. Let it sit on your hair for a few hours before you try to finger detangle, or shower detangle.

Try searching for chicoro's pre poo. Do you have any Aubrey organics?

ETA: Don't use shampoo.

I'm cutting my hair. There's no way around it. It's getting longer but my ends look atrocious and I have no clue why. Funny thing is when I was flat ironing weekly my ends were never thin like this. Now that I went on this airdry spree look what happens. :rolleyes: There is no sense in holding on to stringy ends. I may get a sew in instead if I can afford it to see if my hair looks any better after about 6 months. I am just so annoyed.

Dear sweet baby geezus. Tonight's detangling session was the pits. :nono:

Good thing I had a Narnia movie was playing to keep me entertained
 
my man was really diggin my look last night! but everybody was treating me like i was too dressed up. i always dress like this. i didn't think to come over with jeans and tee shirt? one guy kept staring at me and called me bourgeoisie and said i looked like Lil Kim. (i don't get mad about that because i know it is referenced to the old Kim) i really liked how my hair turned out yesterday. but the wind kinda had it's way with it earlier, so i had to bump it with the flat iron. i hate i had to use heat. i wrapped my hair last night. i should have made some pin curls.

HanaKuroi thanks so much for your reply! While I don't have any AO conditioners, my Shescentit Avocado has a lot of slip. Maybe this will help. My last resort is to take the flat iron to it. :ohwell:
 
My hair is way to thick for me & I hate that I can't do it myself. I flat ironed it and it doesn't lay flat like when I go to the shop ughh, hues I can look on YouTube for videos of different buns then
 
So I've had this old jar of Oyin Burnt Sugar Pomade that I almost never used because it was so grainy. Last night I liquified and re-solidified the whole thing, so now it's nice and creamy, and I must say it is the BOMB.COM in terms of laying down my edges :grin:! I am loving this for my buns :yep:.
