Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Mizani Moisturfusion Silk Cream Conditioner is slowly winning me over. The first time I wasn't sure if I liked it even a little bit.

I just used it for the second time, and I'm starting to like it. I wonder what my third experience with it is going to be like:rolleyes:.

It sure smells good to me - but seems like after putting it on my head though:perplexed:

ETA: You know what? It is moisturizing but it has some strengthening properties in it as well. It does not give me the same silky soft feeling like my sweet Mizani Thermasmooth Conditioner:lick:.

I don't think it is a keeper afterall:nono: - I already have quite a bit of strengthening conditioners in my stash and not sure if I want to add another one.

Flat-ironed my hair for the first time in about 3 months today. I hope it comes out well. I've taken to my hair in twists and bantu-knots and top-knots, so I'm not sure how I'll like it straight. I put it in flexi-rods, and when I take it down tonight I think I'll wrap it. Who knows. -_-

Random hair funniness: during the superbowl, we were having a small party/ get-together in my apartment, and when I was bored with the game I'd twist my hair and prep it for bantu-knots. My bf was with me, sitting nearby, and at one point I reached an area near the back of my head that I couldn't twist tight enough. So I just turn around and look at him, holding my hair, and without a word he takes the hair and starts to twist it for me, like it's second nature. We think nothing of it until I notice all our friends are watching my *white* bf twisting and bantu-knotting my hair for me. Jokes ensue. And keep going. And don't stop. It was really cute and funny. So! He can twist AND braid AND detangle! I think he's a keeper! Next lesson: bunning! :lol:
 
I was kinda meh about my hair because I usually keep it kinky/curly and rarely use heat. It really didn't seem like my hair was retaining length length until I did a blow-out so I could get my hair braided today. I was pleasantly surprised.

melissa-bee,

don't worry! Take a swim cap and if you're planning to get your hair wet/ submerged, put some conditioner in it beforehand. Try to maybe coordinate your lesson days and your wash days? With the chlorine (if it's a chlorinated pool), you'll want to try to rinse your hair asap and make sure to keep it moisturized. Your routine doesn't have to change, just be mindful of a potentially added chemical/ thing to look out for with your hair.

But go ahead, girl! Swim! Do you! And haaaaaaave fun with it! Hair is hair, it comes and goes. Your life and enjoyment is more important than the keratin on your head. <3 <3 <3
 
my only regret of bc'ing a few months ago is that i can no longer slick my naps into a ponytail. Even though i'm not collarbone/shoulder length, with the density and nappiness of my hair it's not happening :nono: Maybe in another 6 months i'll be able to do so.

@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 :spinning: LMAO I probably won't get another salon trim for another 4 years.

Don't forget to give me an update in case I don't make it back to check up on you. Good luck (although I'm a few days early).
 
So a friend of mine told me I take my hair too seriously... then I looked at hers and remembered why!

I think I am a lil up tight. I wash once a week, DC once a week. Moisturize every night. I have never straighten my hair. I wear wigs every day with a one week break every 2 months or so. I have been relaxer free for 2 and 1/2 years and my hair is healthy. Because I leave it alone. I'm going to straighten it in November for my 25th birthday. I will probably be MBL. I think after that I will give the wigs a rest for a while and try another protective style. But Im really lazy and doing hair aint my thing...
 
Did RPGShow really just call me and ask me to send them pictures of me and my wig? :ohwell: Aren't they in China somewhere? And isn't there like 50 million pics already on their website?

My name is Anakinsmomma, and I am an OIL JUNKIE:blush::shocked:

It doesn't matter what type of oil really. Drug store castor oil, JBCO, Coconut oil :lick:, Olive Oil, Vatika Oil, Peach Oil, Cherry Oil... I LOVE THEM ALL!! :drool:

It started when I noticed I can seal and seal with oil all I want and my hair doesn't get oily. I don't know where all that oil goes... I only wash about twice a week and even then it usually includes an oil rinse :spank:

I first thought I had a problem when I got mad at DH for using my $20 a bottle EVOO for... cooking! :nono::nono::wallbash::cry2::swordfight::computer: How dare he!! That's my carrier oil of choice!!

I have one mix for oil rinsing that I put into my coffee/tea rinse, one for scalp massages that smells a little mediciney, one for sealing a cowash, one for sealing braids and one to spray just because.

I just spent $15 in an Indian grocery on Ayurvedic oils that I have no clue how to use. HELLLLLP!!!
 
I'm going back to what I know. Up here tippy-toe'g around stretching like a punk. What the?? I'm 44 wks post, beeotch! I'm in charge. *pimp slapping my line of demarcation.

And yeah, I'm getting back to regular cowashing (with adjustments) and you're gonna act right and like it.

Tis all. *walks off with a gansta stroll* I'm baaaaaaack! Yep yep. :yep:
 
OMG!!! I almost got all of my hair into a ponytail yesterday while I was cowashing in the shower! Woohoo. I BCed last June. 8 months completely natural. I was cheezing so hard.

Got some box braids in and this coconut oil & sulfur mix I made better give me 2 inches in 3 months. I aint playing! SL WILL HAPPEN THIS YEAR and for the first time in my life. This is MY year to meet and surpass my goals! I love this board. My hair family!!!
 
If I have to keep weaving my hair in order for it to have a "break " from blowdrying and/ or flat ironing I' m going to texlax...Sick of the fake arss hair..
 
I love plaits :) I haven't twisted my hair in a couple months now. This saves me time and keeps my hair stretched. Win-win.

I ordered some MSM yesterday. Plan on using it to aid in hair growth + overall health. Ima have to buy the Chlorella in capsule form if I decide to get it again. This powder is NAS-TEH. I will finish this bottle though, I've been babysitting it since the summer. I refuse to let it go to waste!
 
So I'm natural right, but I have a straight weave in my hair and I am loving it! I forgot how great I look with straight hair down to my booty. Why have I not done this sooner?! Smh and lol.
 
Just ordered 3 products: 2 Dominican leave-ins (Baba de Caracol, Pelo Chino) and the regular Nexxus Pro Mend conditioner to use as my ends treatment since I'm almost out of HE LTR and it's being discontinued :(

I really hope I make full APL on my 3 year growth anniversary (August 15th). I think I'm grazing it now but I'm still saying full shoulder length, gotta do way too much stretching and I am not one to reach for lengths...no pun intended lol.
 
I have discovered not all olive oil the same. I have been doing a hot oil treatment with olive oil for a while and I usually buy this really cheap brand from Walmart. I figured it is just for my hair so it should be good enough. But I recently had a coupon to a better quality of olive oil and it has made all the difference in the world. My hair feels amazing now.
 
Twist-out for the weekend. Next up are fat braids. I don't like the smallbox braids on me, but maybe larger braids will be better.
 
Today is my 1 year nappiversary!! Can't believe the day has come already lol. Gonna spend it braided up under a wig as usual.

Day 4 - bedridden with a massive sinus headache. Wanting to cowash but my head is daring me to stand up. Naah. I'll wait. :sad: Maybe I'll freshen up these twists...when I wake up.
 
I'm in protective style mode until next when i will try my 1st flexi rod set on wet hair...can't wait to see how this turns out :)
 
Wearing hair straight for first time in about 3 months is weird.
Truth be told, I don't feel as confident with straight hair as I do when it's curly and fly! Weird, huh? I always worry it's gonna puff up and look mushroom-y, a la my middle school years, and end up snatching it back into a curly pony at some point.

CANNOT do it bone-straight. I need a bend or a curl.

Anyway, I just think it's interesting how my hair confidence has done a complete 180-degree turn--from feeling weird when it's natural and curly, to feeling weird when it's bone straight. -_-

Perhaps it's because I flat ironed it myself, and didn't get it done professionally. HOpefully before spring break/ by Spring break/ as a March gift to myself I will get it done professionally...?
