Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I never realised before how hard it is to take pics of the back of my head:spinning: but I wanna see the length of my hair. I know it feels longer but i wanna see by how much :cry3:
 
I have about 2 dozen different herbs (hair, skin) ...

don't need to buy herbs or powders for a while ...

just need to add current supply to hot water, oils or conditioner ...
 
I really want to cut it all off and start over. All this wiggin and protective stylin seems to be for naught. Sigh...

Papoose please don't start over. Ask the ladies for advice. You could braid it up. Be a little more patient.
 
I bought the Curly Girl Handbook by Lorraine Massey and my bangs are curling and not frizzing now with the right amount of conditioner left in. I wore a wash and do today and my hair looked so nice! I have found something that works for me and I am so happy.

I also thought the outside of my hair was just frizzy, I finger combed like she suggested and didn't use my wide tooth comb and my hair was defined with no sight of frizz. I was buying all these conditioners thinking I have got to get rid of the frizz on the top layer of my hair and it turned out to be technique.

I am learning so much about my natural hair being a new natural and I am so excited. Too too excied. This book was a godsend. I am so thankful I decided to buy it.

HanaKuroi: Been trying to talk myself off the ledge for a minute. I come from a family of women with fragile edges, so I shy away from braids. I am thinking of a weave though. Haven't had one in 10 years...Thx for this..
 
I've only had my hair in box braids for two weeks and I'm already aching to take them out... I miss my hair! I'm glad its all put away though - I'm suffer from some mad hand-in-hair syndrome and I'm constantly length checking myself... hehe.
 
Why didn't anyone tell me NTM has cones in it???

Idk why people hold on to bad ends. My hair wouldn't allow me to even do that. I need a pretty big trim and my hair knows it. My ends are popping off left and right. Not even upset anymore. I'm looking forward to my trim. :)
 
I'm EXTREMELY EARLY in my transition, but I already see a benefit. I'd scheduled an appointment to get a touch up before I decided to transition. I'm keeping the appointment and I am going to get a rinse for these grays instead. Usually before going to the salon I can't scratch my head for fear of burning my scalp later with the relaxer, but now I can scratch away!:grin:

My hair stylist will be happy I'm transitioning too.:yep:

I used to mix henna with tea before adding other ingredients. Now I make a thick paste with oil before adding conditioner. It feels good to rinse out henna paste and hair is NOT dry.
 
OK so my niece is 2 and her mother is starting her own Healthy Hair Growth Journey. While in my home the other day going over good products to use on her own newly natural hair she makes the following comment about the baby’s hair... "What do you put in Amajalay's hair (my daughter)? Cause LuLu (my niece) has mixed peoples hair and I don't know what to put in it." My reply...."She's mixed??"

I tried to explain that the baby has virgin hair that has not endured years of chemicals. But she was adamant that she just has mixed peoples hair...
:look: :ohwell:
 
My my my, I really do have to moisturize my hair regularly or it would be a like I have a head of straw:shocked:.
 
Finally came to a hair coloring routine I can live with and still have healthy hair. Use permanent color once or twice a year (havent decided on that yet), keep it up with Dominican cellophanes in between. I do know that after 7 months all over color was needed again cuz it had faded bad. Also, I oiled my hair before I dyed it and it feels SO much better than when I wasn't doing it, doesn't even feel like I just colored it.
 
Conversation with my hair....

Dear hair,

If you don't stop shedding, breaking off at APL, being dry and anything else that makes me unhappy.

I will hide you in a wig for a year!!!
 
I'm dying to poo my hair but my sinuses still say no. Those bastards and that nasty fever are pissing me off. I want to touch my hair.
 
I think for now on I will do a light blow out before I do my corn rows and only do my washes every 2 weeks as yesterday after lighthly blowing my hair out it was such breeze to manage and I was able to get real close with my cornrows in comparison to doing it on wet hair..I did the dryer bc I can't get sick and didn't want to go to bed with wet hair..my hair felt real thick too..still no length that I see but full..
 
I just realized that I've been natural for 6 months today and that next month it will be 2 years since I had a relaxer :grin:
 
i really want to relax my hair, i don't really want to but i'm over this hyh/ps challenge either that or throw in some colour, will look for a new wig in a different style/colour maybe
 
My daily routine for the last 1-2 months:perplexed:
Wash and condition almost everyday (tresseme)
Use my leave ins (redken) and seal with argan oil:lick:
Slick my hair back into pony with gel (eco styler)
And call it a day:yawn:


I DC maybe once every 2-3 weeks. I'm bad about that:look:


I am surprised by how fast my hair has been growing. I thought I was going to need this huge complex regime when I became natural, but I can actually keep it pretty simple and hopefully suffer minimal breakage.
 
Did my hair in a twist bun today and I love it!

Even though her products are CRAZY expensive, I am loving this Alikay Naturals Pomegranate Hair Elixir as a daily moisturizer. My hair is soft, not oily, and it smells sooo good :)
