Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I think I'm gonna flat iron next weekend for my check in for the APL challenge. I haven't flat ironed really since before Christmas so it's time.

Me too! I hope to get a really good flat iron using WNDNB's technique!
 
My hair has been mad itchy. I really wish I could find a remedy for it. I also wish my hair would stay supple. I think me and Crisco may have to break up. I will use him up though since I have paid for it. It's been so many days where I want my hair to be moist and supple. I think this weekend instead of buying nail polish I will get me a new leave in-anything you ladies recommend and possible a good moisturizing dc. I know the stuff I have Silk Elements I think isn't working and I want it to work. I don't know what else to do but I chop. I may also get a new piece of hair. I have been really neglecting buying hair related items.Trying to shop my stash. Or maybe I need to beef up my conditioners with some avcado sp or something.
 
I have recently started wearing my hair down and I am loving it. It makes me feel so good to feel my hair on my neck and on my shoulders. Also, I am looking fresher and less tired- looking since I stopped constantly bunning. Hope it would not hinder my growth though.
 
GoddessMaker I'm not natural but have you tried regular co washing? Steaming? How about Aubrey Organics conditioners (White Camillia or Rosa Mosqueta)? Or even baggying?
 
Nix08 like after a day my hair is back dry as a desert. I read here those who baggy can have moisture for days. I want something that will last a few days so I won't have to over kill leavein daily.
 
I tried Hair One Argan oil the other day and I really liked it. The scent is a little strong and perfumey but it doesn't last long. I keep stroking my hair because it feels so soft and smooth.

Are those liquid or cream? Maybe you need both a liquid and a cream and a concoction to spritz with daily.

Leave ins usually don't make a very good daily moisturizer for a lot of people. Do you have an actual moisturizer or any butters perhaps?

I use a liquid moisturizer like aloe vera juice and glycerin then follow up with the cream leave-in and seal with either Crisco and at times Ms.Jessie Baby Buttercream...let me know more things I need to do. This is a hair intervention.
 
My hand-in-hair disease is worst after I wash my hair coz my hair feels soft and the strands separate with such ease. I can't seem to keep my fingers out of my hair. I keep undoing and redoing it... :nono: ...and I'm at work for crying out loud!!! :nono:
 
In the HYH challenge but may cheat by posting a quick pic in BSL challenge. I'm taking my braids out on Sat. I had them in since Dec. My hair doesn't grow much in the winter but it grows a ton in spring. SO I am looking forward to my true reveal in June! ;-)
 
My hair has a hardcore conditioner addiction. It's so funny that once I started cowashing, my hair has come to despise shampoo! Lol, how was I living before this??

In other news...I put some ylang ylang in my moisture spray, and my hair now smells super pretty! Way better than any perfume oil, and good for my hair too.
 
Psst...@GoddessMaker S(cough)Curl(cough) and baggying. Ask shyekiera what difference it made to her brillo pad hair.

When I use S Curl, I only need apply twice on wash day and not again until wash day. I apply to damp hair after a wash and it dries up hard, but after I reapply to my now dry hair and baggy that night, moisture for day. I don't need to reapply again, just braid and baggy at night and I get the same soft moisturized hair every morning...and it stays that way without being icky sticky.
 
I swear, between Misslbailey and Chelseb06 I am getting tempted to go natural more and more each day! :nono: I never thought I would see the day where I would give up on my chemicals (and it probably won't happen), but they are making natural hair look great to me. I would definitely be a "straight" natural. The afros and twists aren't my style. But I think the only thing that would hold me back is my exercising. I sweat a lot and vividly remember the days of "nappy roots." :lol: I don't want my hair to be my reason for becoming sedentary. So I will continue to relax....

Nonie I tried the Scurl but it just makes my hair greasy. I even tried anotehr type of curl activator and nothing. I 'm trying all I can before I start shaving or doing something crazy.

Girl, what S Curl did you use? The spray? How much? If there's one thing people who tried other activators have found about S Curl is that it isn't greasy at all. It's more water than anything. Also did you use it alone? GoddessMaker

What I've heard about S Curl is it makes hair hard...but I've never heard of it being greasy. Not the spray anyway. There's always a first, I guess.
 
I finally did a much need trim, although I didn't want to. I must admit my ends look so much better. I still should make full BSB/BSL by the end of the year.

:lachen: Embyra you literally made me jump. I wasn't undoing and redoing but I was indeed sliding fingers down and enjoying feeling the ends go boing. :nono:

But since you caught me :sekret: and made me jump, I've put my hair up in a claw. When it's up, I don't mess with it. :look:

Thanks. No really, I'd get annoyed/irritated watching me...so I'm sure many others thank you.
 
yikes...my hair is suffering horribly. ive been sickish for a while now...but lately i'm feeling much better and hopefully soon i'll be all clear of this. i havent had the energy to really do much to my hair so it's been a mess. i'm gonna trrrrry and get back on the game, man.
