Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I'm mad at myself for losing patience with my hair last night. I cause so much damage and breakage. Now I have to nurse this stuff back to looking good
 
I was about to relax my hair straight as a pin because of continual ssk frustration. Then Seamonster gave me link to Traci's bonelaxed to texlaxed transition and encouraged me to stay texlaxed.

I do not regret it because I just texlaxed my hair, only this time a little straighter than before but still texlaxed, I love the new results.

Naturally I had to do a corrective because the previously texlaxed hair was wayyyyyyyyyyyy too tight. I am indeed a happy camper now. Thanks Seamonster
 
So I fell off majorly with my hair care and got lazy...Let's just say my hair has been in the SAME braids for 5-6 weeks :/. I planned to rebraid my hair after each wash, which is every 2-3 weeks, but I got soo lazy. I just took them down yesterday and MAN it was matted, I lost so much hair...and now I'm nervous about how my hair is going to look after I straighten it...ughhh. I could kick myself for this.

Are you sure you lost a lot of hair or did you just find 5-6 weeks worth of shedding? Don't judge it until after you straighten it or have it under control. It may not be as bad as you think.
 
Just bought this Curls Passion Fruit Curl Control paste. I think I like it.


Which is a blessing since I plan on bunning from now until June.....
 
My church is largely white because it was started by a bunch of hippies in the 60's. So I thought I would hair watch, to see how many WL heads I could find. Wow, Out of 800 people, I was able to find two WL. There are many BSL, grazing MBL. Only two WL, a lot of the MBL was fried, obvious split ends, and dry.

Be patient on your hair growth journeys, it is hard for Suzy, and Kiyoko to have heathy straight long hair; so we are doing some amazing things taking control of our hair journeys.

Girrrrrrl Seamonster, my hair is BIGGG and I like it.....I like it a lot:grin:!
 
Looking for that late night hair wash motivation. If I start now I'll be done with my wash and Moisture and seal by 10. Maybe I could try to bun my natural hair without stretching it?! I will need to make some flaxseed gel for that... More stuff to do...
 
Still bored with my PS (twists in a bun). I'm going to do a leave-in DC tonight and wash next weekend. I'm trying to leave these in for 3 more weeks if I can.
 
Giving up on my ends for now :\ No matter what I do I end up with split ends. I honestly think some of the protective styling I do is the cause of my splits but I'm afraid to stop...I've always retained length through bunning.

Also been applying JBCO to my edges and nape for awhile. It makes my new growth really soft and detangled, and it smooths my edges, but I'm not sure if I'm actually seeing thickness or growth...takes awhile to see results I guess?

Getting my touch up this week for my birthday :) Hopefully I'm near WL!
 
I topped off my eco custard with more aloe vera gel, liquid lecithin, MTG and body oil to kill the MTG smell ... a liter of this should last a while ...
 
STill rockin' the twist-outs for the weekend...tomorrow night I'll wash and flat-iron. Anyway, I don't know if my shedding is more or less than usual...

I want to get into rollersets. But I'm almost petrified of putting unnecessary heat on my head...wacky.
 
If I want to cowash daily, I know I need to move either my workout or my co-washing or both to the evenings. I cannot keep waking up at 4:30 am to do both. I have tried running in the evening and I keep skipping it so I will start the stuff at night this week and see how it goes.
 
Im sad nothing I do to my hair ever looks good. This really makes me cry inside as a good head of hair or style always makes things. I have no wigs right now. I tried on all of them and nothing looked good at all. I was going to do the phony bun but it's not looking all that good either as my hair seems to just bunch up in the middle thus giving me this stupid cone shape. I'm glad there are no razors I would just cut it off and the hell with it. I have spent so much on products,time, trying new things to make it look like something. I'm worried when I relax if my hair will just be extra limp bc its blah now as a natural. Ok vent over. I will slap my old half wig on and kim.

I finished flat ironing it and you're right, it must have been just regular shed hair because my hair is still pretty thick.

either that or my hair hides damage very well.
 
I gave up the ghost and purchased from Original Moxie. I was in NEED of a good deep conditioner and a no foam poo that wouldn't make me itch. I am seriously wanting to stalk the mailman tomorrow! I ordered on the 16 and it's going to be delivered today on the 19th. I absolutely LOVE that.

OT: I made a mask out of honey and yogurt for a facial. For the first day my skin looked flawless. The next day my face and neck were covered in hives. :nono: And since I have to work, I can't take benadryl because it makes me sleepy/wonky. And I can't afford to be comatose because I'm working on a major project. *sigh* Epic suckdom. I need the benadryl cream.
 
FYI Benedryl also makes a spray which I found works equally as well as the pills do for me. In the meantime you may want to try an oatmeal mask to help with the itches and swelling, if you have any cold medication on hand that has an antihistimine in it that may provide some relief as well.
 
I undid my fuzzy twists for a twist-out. I wanted to see if I could to another few days without combing my hair. Looked nice but the relaxed ends looked, well, kinda lame compared to the springiness of the natural hair. So I cut some off :look: I must have cut at least 2.5 inches. I'm not doing well with this no cutting thing at all :lol:
 
My hair was a mess today. It was a big frizzy mess. It's always like that the first day after wash day. My hair hates to be air dried. But I don't wanna use the blow dryer every week but I may just have to.

Me & Flaxseed Gel might not get along! Or I just need to start piling it on. My shorter than all the other hairs start to curl up it's a bit frustrating. I end up piling more stuff on my hair just to help it lay down. I like the flexibility of it but need better hold. I'll be experimenting tonight I guess. Might as well do the Terressentials detox too!
 
I am tempted to grab the scissor and cut out these ssks myself but my scissor is dull and it's not made for hair cutting so....I guess I'll have to wait until I get to my stylist to trim it.

She actually did trim what I asked her to trim the last time I saw her so maybe she deserves another opportunity at my hair to get the remainder of the ssks out. I didn't spot them until I straightened my hair. There they were - staring straight at me. I wish I could just beat them out - Ugh!
 
I ran out of my beloved AO Honeysuckle Rose conditioner. I didn't feel like driving to Whole Foods so I decided to pick up Nexxus Humectress conditoner. I can't wait to try it out on my next wash day!
