Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Arian]

This LOC method sure does work...it is almost my wash day and I haven't had to really moisturize and seal...(I don't count spraying my hair with my water/glycerin mix)...

OAN, I am so stoked about having my products nailed down...Castor Oil is my friend!

Last night I tried doing my twist-outs with peices of silk scarf on the ends (like end papers) rolled around flexi-rods. I thought they would dry faster and curl easier. False. still kinda damp when I woke up the next morning, and awful straight. I'll just keep going without the silk pieces, i suppose. No big deal.

I cannot WAIT until I hit full APL unstretched. It'll take another year, I'm sure, but I feel that waht I have going is working well. I want to buy/ create the Kimmaytube leave-in, but not until I use up more product. When I'm done with the VO5/ Kenra mix, I'll look toward using some of my 2012 stash, etc.

FLAT IRONING ON SUNDAY/ a blow out on sunday. SO EXCITED.

Getting so tired of people telling me I have "good" hair. No sweetie I have healthy hair. This girl just told me a story about how she use to bleach her hair EVERY week because she hates to see new growth and then all her hair fell out. Then in the next breath asked if I would let her do my hair. Flat iron, color, etc...

Really?? No thanks. And then got offended because I told her no. Smh.

And then had the nerve to ask me to pass out her flyers for doing hair to my friends.

It's been five days since I flat ironed and I am now waiting for all of my hair to break off.........

I am going to start pressing my edges. In my year of braidouts and puff buns my edges and nape have suffered. I see the difference in last years pictures and this years. My hair has grown overall and gotten thicker. All the years I wore weaves my edges were thicker. They don't like being manipulated into place by heavy gels.

I'm not feeling my hair right now. Tonight I will take down a couple of these twist take my year end photo, trim a inch to start the new year and crochet braid my hair

Had a great day wig shopping. Got a wig for my almost 90 year old grandma. Tried it on when I got home & now I want to keep it. Guess I'm going to have to go back & get another. I can't do grandma wrong!

Just took my cornrows I've had for a month down. I planned to weave but never got around to it. Last relaxer - Oct. 1. These grays around my edges have me feeling like Moses. I guess I'll have to break down and dye again. If I can find a flat iron I'm going to wear my hair out & styled for Christmas.

loved have you considered henna and indigo? I ordered from www.mehandi.com and followed their instructions to the letter. I was in shock at just how black my hair turned out. I'm about to henna/indigo again since I'm about to try yarn braids.

 

[allmundjoi]

My hair was flat ironed today. I miss my straight hair. I hate to say it, but straight hair suits my face better than my twistouts/braidouts. Maybe its just in my head. Whatsmegonnado?

 

[BrandNew]

Ugh my hair is so dry

 

[LoveTheSkinImIn]

Randomly did some mini(I think)-twists the other night. Turned out pretty decent. I'm actually gonna try to leave them in for longer than a few days this time.

 

[youwillrise]

Bought some ao gpb because I ran out...also got a new, bigger spray bottle annnd I ordered some hydrolyzed keratin...which I hope will be a success...I was looking for something to use as a strong protein treatment a la aphogee, but since I'm trying to stick with all natural products, I wanted an alternative...my thought is, ill try adding it to the gpb and then dc with hsr after. I won't test it out until its time to take these braids down in a couple weeks...hmmm

 

[Meemee6223]

I HATE dealing with these two textures!!!!!!!! How do people transition for years?! I'm about to go CRAZYYYYYY!!!!!!

 

[BreeNique]

hahaha, tonight i was starting to re-do my twist-out for tomorrow, and began braiding by accident! i continued on with the rest of my head, so i suppose i'll be sporting a braid-out tomorrow!

i like the look of twist-outs more on my hair than braid-outs--i think b.o.'s look FANTASTIC on longer hair, and on me its kinda eh. my preference:

1. twist-outs
2. bantu knot-outs (after wearing them in bantu knots for a day first as a PS)
3. braid-outs.

[ms.tatiana]

watching youtube trying to figure out how to dye the tips of my weave

 

[Damaged but not out]

how much does giovanni leave in cost at whole foods

Does anyone still see it in rite-aid?

 

[RoundEyedGirl504]

Fab_Nikki wow...that's one helluva dream. I would do the same thing. I'm hoping this stylist knows what she's doing. The salon specializes in natural hair, but I will carry a bottle of cheapie condish and shower comb with me when I go

NikkiQ Which salon are you going to? I never found someone to press mine there that I loved.

 

[melissa-bee]

Just used the last of my Giovanni direct leave in as a pre-poo I hope is stops breakage during my wash, as I've neglected my hair this week.

 

[melissa-bee]

Oh yeah, I'm just posting my review of Bee Mine for moisturisers the hair milk and butter for AfroDolll

It took me so long to use them because I didn't know how to incorporate commercial moisturisers in to my reggie as I'm so used to sealing with water and shea butter.

Anyway, I got a chance to use them when I had a hectic week at uni and they are okay. There's not much difference between the butter and the milk accepts that they are different textures and the milk smells really nice. No commercial moisturiser whether it's water based or oil based is good enough for my hair anyway so I can't really give it a positive review

 

[youwillrise]

My hair has been staying moisturized with the simplest mess...love it.

 

[faithVA]

The worst part of wash day is getting the dang hair off my fingers. sheesh Probably increases my wash day by 30 minutes.

 

[charislibra]

I saw 2 beautiful heads of natural hair today. We keep glancing/staring at each other until the play was over so we could compliment each others hair. I wanted to ask if they were Nico's cousins so bad. Oh, well. The play was at a friend's house.

"Mashed potatoes?!" "He sound like Brian McKnight." Just in case ya'll here.

 

[BrandNew]

I am soo in love with my half wig. I'll never have another bad hair day!

 

[Evolving78]

i was so paranoid about my sock bun and those elastic covered bands ruining my ends, i came home straight after work and dc'ed my hair. i really wanna try WEN.

 

[chelseatiara]

I wish I could give my twa a hug Its so soft and big and fluffy and curly and wonderful It was good hair day

 

[Superfly Sister]

I LOVE the colour of my hair now. Thank you henna! <3

 

[Miss AJ]

Really need to update my siggy and get rid of that HIGHLY unrealistic goal of APL in August 2011 lol. I got full shoulder length in August, so I'm hoping for APL before the end of March, BSL at the end of 2012.
