Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Kerryann, are yarn braids good for your hair underneath? I worry that the yarn would rub against and break the hair inside of it. Thoughts? I'm considering braids or something of the sort for the winter/ spring.
 
Strongly believe I'll start taking down this kinky twists tonight. I'll just slap a beanie on my head to cover whatever I don't finish. It is time to get these bad boys out. 6 weeks isn't bad right? I really enjoyed having them in, but I need to see my hair. How do folks keep them in for months on end.

Thinking of getting a sew-in next. A nice kinky curly one. Need to do more research though. With the lack of density in my hair, I'm not sure how much leave-out I should have in order to keep the tracks from showing.
 
I got some Creme of Nature Argan Oil products on the way to me. I sure hope it works for my hair but if it doesn't, can't be mad since the products are free.

Noticed some really bad breakage in the middle of my head. I am discouraged.

I totally know how you feel. I have a patch in my crown area and one in the middle of my nape that have regularly experience breakage. The texture in these areas is completely different than the rest of my hair.

For the past month or so, I have been diligent about doing scalp massages every other day in these areas and noticed a curl of new growth in my nape area. I was shocked because it is usually smooth with no hair.

It will turn around for you too.
 
i am a product junkie! can't wait to try out my new stash! all the money i spend on products, i could just give it to a salon and let them deal with my hair....
 
Mom keeps asking if I want her to get rid of the split ends she sees on my hair. This summer, she cut off a good two inches on my sister's hair unnecessarily. My answer: a swift yet respectful "no, thank you".

Awww Not any good ones LOL, I have it set in rollers now LOL! Will take some when I remove the rollers, not planning to do that until Sunday! or maybe Saturday, but Most Likely Sunday I have a banquet to go to! So I have to have my doooo done LOL!

I was told I was still in gravy location LOL! I got a bit removed :look: I don't care about length anymore LOL

Mr. Says I cut too much :giggle:
 
The front of my hair is past my collarbone and I stretched the back and I'm PRETTY sure it's grazing APL but I aint claiming it til it's full APL...hopefully this August.

Yeah it's confusing sometime, like I claim shoulder length but when I stretch the front and Its collar Bone but my back is passed my shoulders, it touches my back
 
Hubby will be home tomorrow. I guess I should prep my hair to be in some sort of style, huh? :perplexed


ETA: Wayment. Let. Me. Stop. Trippin'. It's two o'clock in the A.M. :rolleyes:

I'm going to bed. I'll retwist some of these perimeter twists, pull 'em up in a high ponytail or bun, throw a flower on it ot something and call it a doo. I'm tired. Up watching YouTube videos got me thinking I can throw together a fly style right quick. I better focus on a lil eye bags prevention.

Good night, Ladies.

i am mad that i am up doing my hair... i washed and dc'ed and parts of my crown was hard as straw. i am still dealing with protein overload. well right now i am trying the KiyaFizzle to see if that will help break some of this protein down.
 
Finding and sticking to the right products really do make the world of a difference. My hair hasn't felt this good in at least 2 months. I know everyone says technique, but finding the right product combo that works for you makes a boat load of a difference. I've been getting fancy and trying different hair products and poos and conditioners that have taken a toll on my hair. I went to a high end stylist that used some stuff in my 16 wks post hair that had my hair feeling like hay and nothing in my hair closet worked.

I washed my hair last night, clarified w/Elucence volumizing, used Nexus Emergencee, rinsed w/ Kenra sulfate free poo (which I :love:) and then deep conditioned w/ Kenra mc, used Giovanni leave in and my hair was totally back to normal. I've also noticed way more breakage than I thought I had :nono:. I've already cut my hair off to neck length, so I'm going to stick with my hair regimen and stop trying different products and nurse my hair right back to health. I know there are certain products my hair historically likes: kenra mc, elucence mb, kbb hair milk/nectar, and giovanni leave in, giovanni conditioners.

Even if I do consider going natural, I'd think i'd have to stick with the same combo of poos and conditioners w/o a doubt.
 
minitwists are a fail for me.. the take down is unbearable.

I will not be doing this again.

I may try for chunkier twists and a pin up..

meanwhile

I am definitely blowdrying and trimming my hair this weekend.. I may throw in a flat iron.. but that isnt definite
 
I think I've found my newest PS!
And I'm late to the bun game!

^^ This will be my go-to PS, I'll soak the phony bun in water and moisturizer/ dip it in watery moisturizer mix, so it doesn't dry my hair out too much...or I'llcover it with saran wrap. Haven't decided yet. I'm just so happy!

So. my protective styles:
-buns
-twist-outs
-bantu knots

@divachyk she didn't trim more than an inch all over and my hair came out awesome. My stylist did a great job. She knows me well, but I let her know that my hair grows in a V so a blunt cut is a no no. I also let her know she wasn't allowed to trim more than an inch or two so she was respectful of my wishes and showed me how much she cut.

You can find the pictures here: http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showpost.php?p=15341797&postcount=3152

This looks cute:) Is the bun a phony pony? If so what did you make it out of?

BreeNique please walk me through this bun. Is it a phony bun? Gorgeous! I could never get my phonies to look worth jack.
 
I FINALLY have 12" + in some places!!! :grin: That's been my goal since I found the board back in '08. :look: It only took over 3 years and 2 full heads of hair (relaxed to natural). :lol: I'm excited for all of my hair to get there so I can switch from my ruler to a tape measure. :yay:
