Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

i am scared to flat iron my hair after that self trim. it's gonna be looking all kinds of uneven and if i see non-blunt ends ima get itchy and just chop my hair off. and i'm so torn. i'm all about health and keeping up my blunt ends, but damn, i need APL effin hair for christmas. and i just realized from looking at my progress pics that the distance from SL to APL is long as hell on my body. like miles from each other. :cry:

at least all my heat damage is gone now! except for the blasted very front. the damn front of my hair is so fickle. it grows slowly, is finer, and a looser texture so it wants to hang down all stoopid in all my styles. i wanna tell it to get its **** together for real...

Rocky91, but if the front is short and wants to hang down, isn't that good for bangs?
 
I guess I'll be flat ironing my roots tomorrow in preparation for my 15th anniversary on Wednesday. Hubby wants me to wear my hair out. I'm kinda excited about it too...the end results, that is. I'm SO not looking forward to the flat ironing process. Ah well. I can't wait to feel my hair out. :drunk:
 
NJoy PUHLEASE post pics! I know it won't be your top priority tomorrow but ALL of us in lhcf NEED pics of your ridiculously gorgeous hair flat ironed so PUHLEASE don't keep us in suspense too long! :)

I've concluded that I have officially ruined all that hair my mother so selflessly took care of until I was 18. What an awesome way to end my night.

Now that I'm planning to flat iron my roots (my hair hates when I flat iron, btw) and wear my hair out for our anniversary, I realize that I've been protective styling so long that I forgot how to style my hair. *long siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh* THIS is gonna be interesting. :rolleyes:
 
See now I just read that satin scarves are inferior because they are really only treated polyester, and that 100% silk is the real deal. *sigh* I can't stand yall.. now I won't sleep right until I get a real silk scarf smh.

Raspberry, it was probably more than five years ago when I found two real silk scarves at a Belk department store.
 
Im having a love affair with my flexi-rods!! :yep::yep:

Don't judge me...:nono::nono:

Definitely no judgement here. I don't always like sleeping in them, but oh the curls and the bounciness. Matter of fact, I'm putting my twists in flexi-rods tonight. Then when I wake up in the morning, I will do my slow motion patene commercial hair flip in the mirror. :look:
 
Twist and braid outs are such easy low maintenance hair styles. I LOVE THEM!!! Plus, I can still style my hair with old twistouts any way I want. Yea me!
 
My hair is in twists. I braided them while they were damp, so there's a nice wave going on there. Just did a little half ponytail with a flexi-8 clip. So WHY, oh random airport security person, did you need to do a "head pat?" To search for...to search for what exactly? You can see all of my doggone head. I know she was just doing her job, but my hair was freshly washed, she used latex gloves (which I didn't notice for my irritation), and I'm allergic to latex. So now, on top of just being irritated by the whole thing anyway, I have to rewash and load up on benadryl so I don't get welts on my scalp. Thanks TSA :nono:.
 
I have been natural exactly 4 years today.I remember that night when I started to do a trim and said fluck it and cut it all off.It was interesting trying to put a half wig on a pretty much bald head.I rushed and bought a real wig that after noon.Now my hair isn't where it was expected as I have been natural for a min but I pray but this time next year my hair will be at least APL either natural or relaxed.

I may have to find me a new stylist. I went and got my hair relaxed today and she talked about wanting to give me a "cut". My hair just needs TLC from me, I'm determined to nurse my hair back to healthy, I'm just nervous about who is going to do my relaxers :/ Maybe my boyfriend?
 
I've just flat ironed my roots. I'm hoping the saran wrap technique will straighten the rest of my strands.

My hair is so thick! Stretching and texlaxing is paying off. :yep: This much hair is friggen AWESOME!!! Now, who's gonna take care of it for me? I need to get some styling skills QUICK!

You got it! Posting pics tomorrow. I just tried to wrap my hair for the saran wrap treatment. Um, :nono:. How do you do it without giving myself a conehead?

Ah well, I've put it back in a bun and will style it tomorrow. Hopefully the thickness will have settled down a bit overnight. Although I'm LOVING this thickness! :lick:
 
NJoy I can't imagine wrapping hair as long as yours! Lol! Thanks for being our hair inspiration!

Awww, thank you so much marta9227

My attempts at wrapping are EPIC fails! :lol:

I think I won't worry about the wrap thing and will curl wth Caruso rollers.

Also, I think I'll try some twist outs this weekend to see if I can get a HairCrush look going. That would be awesome!!
 
i do a lot of freelancer work, so i don't have to worry about my hair looking good everyday, but now that i am trying to get a regular 9-5, i might just start wigging it to work. the job i want would have me traveling and educating other beauty professionals. i would have to be on point at all times.
 
My Babybliss Pro blow dryer died yesterday. First, sparks starting flying out of it. Then, it would only blow cold air. Only about hair of my hair was dried at the time. I think this is a sign that I should give up heat. :lol:
 
Had a set back because of a famous sulpher mix. So much hair shed after 2 weeks of use. Whats crazy is I purchased it before with no problem. Thank goodness for thick hair its not noticable to the eye. The mista said WTH you talmbout? :-( WE KNOW THE DIFFERENCE LHCF ladies.
He's going to get me some hairfinity or vivsical cause I keep tripping. LOL Which one should I get??? IDK
