Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I've been so in love with my hair in the last 7 days. :2inlove: I washed, conditioned, moisturized, and twisted on the first day. I haven't had to moisturize since then. On the second day, I wore the twistout. That night, I braided. The braidout on the 3rd day was so awesome! And it's still awesome! I'm going to do this all the time now: Heavily moisturize on wash day and twist. :reddancer:

I just use water and my mix of shea butter with olive oil.
 
Did a random bantu knot out... looked in the mirror like, Really ****? Really? :lol: But turned it into a really cute updo!! I think I need a little more length before I start bantu knot outs; it was a little too "Shirley Temple" for my taste. :yep: But love this updo, have gotten about 10 compliments just walking in the door. *swag* <-:lachen: lawd im silly this morning.

I swear, it's like I woke up one morning and my hair was long. Well not LHCF long, but "I just bc'd and been depressed cuz a ninja been bald, but ghatdammit all of the sudden I got a ponytail" long. :lol:

Started taking 1000mcg's of Biotin, mostly for my nails. Just went "natural" re: my nails, so they're weak and need some attention. Hopefully I'll see some improvement, maybe in the hair area too.

Imma skedaddle...

ok, so my hair is sooooooooo deceptive. I did some miss celie braids to air dry and my hair looked so shrunken and anorexic. Thought I damaged it/broke it. I unloosed them, and used the tension method briefly and my hair tripled in length and thickness. Flat ironed and had a lions mane and still and MBL. My hair is so deceiving. spiral curled it and now it's hanging on my shoulders. Do i need to grow it to my knees for it to look long?! Damn!!!!!!! :wallbash:

@Kurlee Aww that's too bad.. maybe your hair doesn't like the keratin protein?

I wish I could take that off your hands :look: lol

yea the serum felt nice on my wet hair, but on my flat ironed hair it felt too proteiny. My hair loves keratin in conditioners, but not in stylers, I guess. Had to slather on some coconut oil and olive to get back my softness.

I had the same problem with the serum but my hair loved the shampoo and conditioner :yep:

ETA: I think companies are going hard with the protein with the assumption that tons of women use heat on a regular if not daily basis - which is true I guess if you're talking women of all races.
 
I can't wait until I get home so I can rub cj rehab in my hair and dc while I workout :grin:


Off to study patho some more :look:
 
Do not apply shampoo after rinsing out ayurvedic paste with cleansing herb ... hair became a helmet.

Remedy: apply maka oil, soak hair with moisturizing tea rinse under shower cap for a few minutes, apply moisturizing conditioner ... all is well ...

It pays to make sure shampoo and conditioner bottles are in their original lineup after cleaning the shower :look:
 
I love how I've gotten my friend and my mom into half wigs. My mom called me the other day talmbout she purchased another half wig. She was so excited about it. :)

My friend told me how she wore her half wig over Christmas break and how her family thought it was her hair.


It just gave me warm fuzzies inside...
 
My husband has decided for my birthday next week, he will treat me to a trip to the salon around the corner from our house. It's where I went Feb 2011 (my last trip to a salon) and also where I go to have my brows waxed.

The sign out front says blowouts for naturals $37 (relaxed $27). I think I'll get that along with a trim/cut to get rid of split ends and either a deep conditioner with heat or a protein conditioner which ever she thinks I'm in more need of at the time.

My main fear is that she will try to make different sections of my hair even with the cut and maybe try to do layers. It took some time for me to explain to my husband that I didn't want this as I don't wear my hair out, only wigs and twists with extensions this past year.

Maybe after the blow out, I'll just pick up some new shears at the BSS next door to the salon and go home and do it myself.
 
The last few washes I have been air drying my hair to 85 to 90% and lightly blowing my roots with a quick pass over my ends. So far so good, my new growth doesnt feel so compacted, my ends look and feel a lot smoother. I am keeping an eye for any breakage but the tourmaline dryer that I am using seems to keep my hair so smooth. I am loving the fact that I can comb my hair from root to tip at 8 weeks.
 
I went to a hair salon last Sat and got a deep condition, rinse, blow dry and flat iron. I noticed that my hair wasn't feeling as soft and pliable as it usually does but it looked really nice. O just washed it and my hair is like BRILLO. None of my usual moisturizing conditioners are working. Its like my hair shaft laughed at anything I try and put on it. Im so upset. I don't know if its the protein conditioner they used, the moisturizing conditioner, or all the pooing. I'm assuming its a combo of everything bc I remember right before I was blowdried my hair didn't feel soft and smooth as it usually would. I'm pissed ! I spent over $100 plus a tip for my hair to feel like utter shyt!!!!! It looked good and the salon is fab but my hair feels terrible, its tangled, matted, and very dry!

Hmmmm shea butter. I may have to give it a try after my hair hiding is over. :scratchch:

SuchaLady I am determined!!! I like the ease of it but just miss my hair. LOL BTW my hair hates shea butter and anything with it in it's ingredients. I am so happy I found my staple products. No more trail and error and def. no more bandwagons. I had a horrible setback using claudies elixir. neva again.
 
My hair grows but it's these damn knots and tangles that has me losing length. I try to do curly styles but it tangles on itself and using heat to straighten it over time causes too much heat.......ugh!
 
I really hope tonight flies by fast and tomorrow comes faster. Time to relax my hair. Not sure if I will ever stretch this long again...it messes with my head.
 
My hair is overprocessed, weak, breaking. I know it needs protein but too tired with 'hair' issues to care. I did everything I learned in 2011 and no length to show for it! I am gonna go back to my old regimen (before hair boards) and listen ONLY to my hair. If it grows, fine! If not...that's fine also. FINITO!
 
SuchaLady I am wearing wigs. I got my hair braided up 2 days before christmas. I went to Reniece to do it. She is the only one that touches my hair besides me. Yup from ATL to DC. I have a signature wig that I wear that looks so real. I purchased 2 more just like it but wrong color. So I'm trying to sell it, if they don't sell I will spray it black with that hair spray dye. Yup
Shea butter I wanted to like it so bad but it made my hair crunchy and dry. Girl I tried everything with it but my hair didn't like it. It may work for you though. What method are you using?
 
hair4romheaven I am using sew ins. I have the first of three anticipated in right now. It's a straight one with a swoop bang. The second will more than likely be a full sew in with a bang and third some curly hair for the summer. :yep: 8-10 weeks a piece and blowouts in between for about 2 weeks. I hope this is successful. :ohwell:
