Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

winona, divachyk, the bun is natural, it's just a circle thingie on the inside! I put my hair through the middle and wrap it around the bun, usually after I do a twist out/ on an old twist-out!!
 
Bought a couple gallons of Suave Humectant conditioner for ayurvedic pastes/glosses, oil rinses ... also will be swimming frequently next month :yahoo:
 
So I was always under the impression that only sulfate based shampoos will remove silicones. However, I came across an article today that said that many surfactants remove sulfates as well. And low and behold Silk Dreams Whip My Hair! contains Disodium Lauryl sulfosuccinate, one of the mild surfactants that will remove 'cones (Supergirl, maybe you should inlude this info in your product description, lots of ppl would be happy to know). I wasn't using this product much because I mistakenly assumed it wouldn't remove 'cone based serums from my hair. So glad to find this out because I do love the moisture retention I get from a sulfate-free regimen.

Ok so while in an elevator, why did I get "weave" checked, AND asked if I was mixed? :perplexed I mean, I do not nowhere looked mxed (I know that was improper grammer). I am used to getting weave checked, but this whole mixed thing? And then I did not even get to address the relaxer comment that was made after I got off the elevator. Sigh...IDK :ohwell:
 
Is anyone else annoyed the L'Oreal EverStrong ads that keep popping up? Acting like they're the first ones to ever invent a sulfate-free shampoo :rolleyes:

Sounds like you got the trifecta of rude hair questions... what was the relaxer comment?
 
Had a "my coworker shouldn't talk moment" just now. She commented that my wig looked silly on me.

Meanwhile her weave looks ratty because she doesn't wash or comb it and her leave out is screaming for some moisture, sealing, heavy rainstorm... Something.

Then she's asking if my wig itches me.

It may be silly, but my wig still looks better than your weave boo-boo.

about to grease my edges & wrap my weave back up. I'm sick, just a real bad cough nose isn't running, throat doesn't hurt but I'm coughing & sweating like a pig I don't get it plus I keep getting bad headaches.

You are better than me b/c I would've asked her if she's looked in the mirror latley. Then I would've told her worry about getting her hair right and not to worry about mine.
 
I just want to give up on my hair. Ugh. It feels like it's not growing and I made this dumb arse expensive bet my hair will be bsl/mbl in 2 years. *sigh*. I have all but removed myself from all my hair challenges. I need a break from my hair, but don't want to wig it, weave it, or braid it. And I have been looking far from polished. We have a brunch to go to today and I am going looking like marmaduke. *sigh*
 
WTF is this "biological trait" that "as Blacks" makes our hair dry??? Or...it's because the curl is tighter so it's harder for the sebum to travel down the hair shaft fully? WTH is this garbage?

I just go ahead and spread my sebum from my scalp and roots down the length of my hair and poof no more dryness issues. Sebum is the truth.
 
finished blowdrying, twisting and trimming my hair.

i cut about a half inch off the ends. That's where most of my ssk were chilling out

Didn't actually see any damage which is great since I haven't seen scissors in about 8 months

Still hesitant about this self trimming thing.. but I haven't found a stylist I trust yet.

Will be putting my hair dryer and scissor away for the next 6 months :)
 
OMG now I have a new addiction to nail art stamping. I guess I am getting bored with my hair routine. I can't wait to get my konad kit in the mail:)
 
I want to play in my hair but it irks me that I would twice as much hair strecthed in order to do the same styles looser-haired ladies can do at SL-APL.
 
It is 7am and all I want to do is dc. Dc and steam. I have been awake trying to decide what products to use since 6. I have to wait until people get up. Otherwise they will be whining all day about how I woke them up.
 
Ok, I just put a load of laundry in. Once I am done with that, I will tackle my henna treatment. I haven't done one since October. It's such a day-long project; but, it's worth it. Ugh!
 
I really need to lay off the heat...flat ironing every week is becoming a turn off to me and my hair....so i am certain its time to decrease the direct heat and get back to hiding my hair more often...maybe 4-5 days a week and rollersets 2-3 days a week.
 
Finally dyed my hair .....I can barely see colour on my hair my shoulders however...

I want senegalese twists. I might have set up an appt soon because I have grown tired of being bothered with my hair. At least for now:perplexed

I just love it when people who don't give a crap about their hair try to come at me for buying hair products. It's not YOUR money so don't worry about it.
