Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Arian]

I want to Big Chop again. Today was wash day and I had like 30 broken strands. Mainly in the back of my hair. I'm doing everything I'm supposed to do. For now, I am going to get a haircut/trim and dye my hair black again. It is probably not a good idea, but I am so discouraged right now. One minute my hair is doing well, the next it's doing something completely different.

I think I am going to do an Aphogee 2 minute treatment before I cut my hair and dye it again. I was shooting to dye it this summer.

My hair makes me so sad sometimes. I feel like I try so hard to take care of it and make it happy, and it just won't cooperate. One hair problem gets solved, and just as soon as I'm patting myself on the back, something else will come up. Why?

Why can't it just behave itself, like everyone else's hair?
Why won't it let me be great?

Going hard on my head. I've finally allowed my determination to grow my hair back translate into a personal bootcamp. No heat for 6 months, PSing with sew ins and braids, and twists etc. It does best when left alone but I really got hand in head issues! I just change my styles often because I get bored. And it gives practice for when I do other people's hair .
I have also been taking multi vitamins (helps with overall health but can't deny hair is the motivation). I really want BSB by December!

Going to get my hair done at the salon on Thursday. It will be the FIRST time in 5 years since I have allowed a hair dresser to cut my hair. Please say 3 hail Mary's for me LOL

Good luck BostonMaria. What prompted the desire for a salon cut?

It's a beautiful thing when you can cut 5" of hair off and still have an amazing length of hair!

~*~ShopAholic~*~ You have any pics you'd like to share? Who doesn't love amazing length AND fresh ends? Congrats.

It's shame when your hair can be in exquisite condition and hard water can ruin it all :/

 

[ms.tatiana]

watching YouTube videos to figure out how to get curls at the bottom of my weave

I really need to buckle down if I want to be a full and healthy WSL by the end of the year!

 

[MyCoilsGoBoing]

I've been trying all these moisturizers and the only thing my hair needed was oil and braid spray. Glad I finally figured it out.

You & me both. I've been slacking lately

Was looking over photos of my progress since the start of my journey and I'm surprised how much my hair has grown even with being an average grower. Now if I can stop having self-created setbacks I might just brush on BSL by the year end.

I love twisting freshly co-washed hair with leave-in conditioner and newly-opened coconut oil. It's intoxicating at times.

Shapley's M-T-G added to eco styler custard formula makes for easy application of sulfur. Some bath oil kills the bacon odor of the M-T-G

divachyk Thanks!
I have been cutting my SSK's and trimming my own hair for years. I feel like my ends need a trim and its time. The hairdresser doing this knows me well and I explained to her that she's not allowed to do a blunt cut (my hair grows in a V) and that I need to see every section she's about to cut. I ain't playing and she ain't crazy LMAO I probably won't get another salon trim for another 4 years.

I think I might be cray-cray... Everytime I see that Hellman's commercial with the mayonnaise and eggs, I think that woman is going to deep condition her hair

 

[aviddiva77]

Well damn. Once I hid my hair the anger and frustrations about my hair went away. I almost forgot there was a hair thread on lhcf...

 

[Arian]

Making an appointment today for a trim and dye job...in the meantime, I will be deep conditioning like crazy...I'm a little scared...wondering if I should just let the color grow out on its own and just get a cut...

My first setback since becoming natural...it's kind of sad...

 

[Whimsy]

I think I need to do a self trim today.

 

[knjsavy]

Gonna do a temp dye (natural instincts black) just in case this nice weather (near 60 on wednesday in NY in Feb?) takes another turn and I have to pull out the half wigs - already did a test run this weekend (being lazy) and they still look good after being locked away for near 8 months

 

[Spiffy]

3 years since I transitioned today. :woohoo2: Still some texlaxed ends, 1 to 2 inches, in some spots, but it makes no sense to "chop" them off. Can't wait to straighten for vacay in 2 weeks.

 

[Raspberry]

Corny.

 

[choctaw]

My ps is a single braid cuz it is easy to do with kinky hair.

 

[Aggie]

Hmmm, I haven't taken my hair vitamins in a couple of days...I better get back on it before my hair starts to revolt.

 

[melissa-bee]

I'm going to start learning how to swim. I'm worried about my hair.

 

[halee_J]

Gonna get me some CON argan oil shampoo this weekend

 

[cocosweet]

I've been on a hair hiatus of sorts for the last 1.5 months. I think I'm about ready to end it. I'm ready to get back on my sulfur and vitamin grind.

 

[NJoy]

it's been a week since I washed my hair so, I'm about to DC w/steam. But my hair feels so soft right now. I hate to mess with it. Ah well.

 

[Americka]

I haven't been here in a long minute, but I continued to take care of my hair. It won't win any awards, but it is a lot healthier than when I first joined.
