Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Finally, my jumbo twists are done. Embyra I really want to try those mini loose twists Cipriana does but lawd, I just ain't got that kinda patience, 8-10 hrs? geez louise :nono: But 4 weeks of no mani is quite alluring...

I love JBCO because it softens my NG, but applying directly makes my roots oily and sticky. I have made a castor oil mix to remedy this! :D composed of shaken up lavender JBCO, coconut oil, and water. Trying it on my scalp and NG (and a little on my relaxed hair & ends) for the first time tonight. No itchiness, no oiliness or stickiness...just softness and shine so far :) the smoky smell is a bit overpowering but it's already fading and should be gone in the morning. I have been making an effort to repair and prevent once overlooked breakage at the demarcation line, so if this works I may have a new staple NG moisturizer in my regimen!
 
I think I'm gonna detangle and twist my hair up...at 12:30 Am. Tripping. But at least I can start....tomorrow. :grin:
 
Now that I'm much longer into my transition, my braids for braid outs are much more substantial. They were much easier to put in compared to the start of my transition where I had more relaxed ends. Love it!
 
I can't believe I actually did start detangling and twisting. I have not been to sleep yet and have only finished the back half of my head. I'll finish the front later today. I'm tired but have to get my day started. We'll see how long I lasts. :ohwell:
 
halee_J I dont have the patience for all those twist i have some keracare twisting cream here and never used it:lol:

Funny thing is back when i was thinking about going natural and saw chime fotki i was like yup twist out will be my MAIN style who was i fooling i was lazy as a relaxed head and im lazy as a natural :ohwell::lol:
 
*sings* im in love with a skripper! :lol:

Ok jk no skripper but i am in love.........................with naptural85! :cupid:

love her vids im sitting here watching all her vids even went and ordered some headbands and stuff so i can attempt some of these styles:grin:

She is the definition of 4a that coily juiciness:lick::lick:aaahhh and the silkysheen of her hair :drool:
 
I got my Reve' Essentials moisturizer in the birthday cake scent and it smells BAD! Something in it is overpowering the birthday cake scent and is messing with my nose.


ETA: I think it smells like someone who just came in from outside + birthday cake. It's doing better than any other moisturizer I've tried in the moisture department though. My hair is loving it!

I am so excited it is pretty much official. I must have an allergic reaction to the coating on weave hair. I removed the coating off my spring twist this weekend and installed some cornrow/twists. NO ITCHIES anywhere in sight. I don't even remotely feel like taking this out like I normally do:)
 
Don't you wish they would give all the members on here a 1,000 gift card strictly for hair care products. Sheesh it adds up. 1st thing I would get would be my steamer and Split ender
 
I realized the common denominators in all my natural hairspirations with textures similar to mine. Their hair thrived with twists/braids, twistouts/braidouts, finger detangling, washing only in many sections, only using a comb in the shower saturated with conditioner, low-sulfate or no-poo, sealing with shea butter. I've gradually changed my reggie to incorporate all these things. I must say, my hair likes it. Let's see where I get this year lengthwise :yep:
 
Sooo I just watched Chime's hair journey vid for like the 673492105732398894th time :look:. I never get tired looking at her hair :drool:. I want my hair to look like hers when it grows up. My twist look like hers when she was SL so there's hope :yay:
 
Getting my hair braided today for the first time in months. New braider...worse yet AT a salon. We'll see how this goes. I am going armed with my wide tooth seamless combs, hair already washed, dc-ed and stretched using bantu knots. Scalp done oiled too. I'm going for braids and that is it.
 
This half wig thing is not working, took me almost an hour this morning to make the one I am wearing look decent and I still dont like how it looks on my head. I think I will just braid my hair this weekend and be done with it, this is becoming too stressful.
 
Ok knock on wood but I have not had any itchy scalp or very miminal itching. That is a shocker. It felt nice last night didn't need to moisturize this morning. Could this by my wish and thanks to the ladies here and one very special hair sister here. I wanted a hair mama but I got a sister..grateful either way.
 
Having one of the best braidouts EVER! My hair is soft and moisturized as well as defined. I risk making it frizzy but I can't stop touching it.
 
I used Kinky-Curly Knot Today and two pumps of Qhemet Biologics Castor & Moringa Serum on each section as I detangled plus a little Qhemet Biologics AOHC on the ends.
ETA: I think it is the Knot Today that is making it extra soft feeling.

I read an article about mineral oil yesterday. I went to the drug store after work to buy a small bottle. While I was waiting on line I asked myself why am I buying this. When I couldn't think of a reason I put the bottle of mineral oil back and left the store. I see that I still crave product. I'll have to work on getting over that.
 
I've neglected my hair so bad the last couple of weeks that I'm see all types of splits and I just trimmed. My hair is super dry. I'm mad at myself. WL is going to take longer than I planned
