Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I'm beginning to think that moisturizing and sealing daily is overrated. Touching my hair so often is hurting more than helping. I think the power of MY retention lies in low manipulation (wearing one style for the week), washing (or cowashing) and DC'ing weekly, using a reconstructor and moisture DC weekly for my fine hair... Will try this reggie over the next couple months...

Ok, so I've come to realize that wearing my hair in braids or twists usually results in trimming my ends. The difference between my natural and relaxed hair is night and day so, I'm trying to trim away my relaxed ends bit by bit. I just trimmed another inch off my ends. Sort of sad because they're in good shape but, having the thin bonelaxed ends mocking me makes me pull out the scissors. Now, I'm sure this isn't the best way to trim and my result in an uneven hemline but, I plan to clean up my hemline at least by the end of the year and maybe also in June. So, that's 3 inches so far this year. I have to keep reminding myself that's 3 inches of skimpy bonelaxed ends so, I'm good with that.

Sometimes I feel like kicking myself for bandwagon hopping. YES I know I was warned, but did I listen?? Noooo. If I had just stuck with Megatek, Ayurveda, and cowashing I swear my hair would have been APL by now....even with the BC!! SMH @ Myself!!
Anyway...know better, do better... *sucks teeth*

What works for one does not work for all! Yes I will have to take a comb to my strands! No, I cannot finger part.
I'm doing a blow out for a future twist up do and seeing a lot of broken strands. My parts are all over the place! I must detangle more often!

I did a scalp massage with coconut oil last night. Not only did my scalp start itching but my face also felt weird, like beneath my skin. 
erplexed I hope I'm not developing a sensitivity to coconut oil. My hair loves it. Ah well. I'm gonna stop using it to see what happens.
I'm also under a lot of stress too but, I don't feel stressed out. But who knows.

My face hates coconut and walnut oil, but my hair loves it. I did a pre-poo with walnut and coconut oil and broke out all along my hair line within minutes. I finally decided to just use both in the kitchen. It is beginning to get too expensive trying to fix my face from using all these oils.
My prayers and thoughts to you in this stressful time.

Ok. It's over.
I really can't in almost two years natural understand the enamouration with mf'in twist outs and braid outs?!? I've attempted so many times to stretch my hair with this and it's always the ultimate fail.
What is the purpose? I spend 30min tops on a decent wash and go and my second and third day hair is defined and stretched-ish... Whereas its a hour plus twisting or braiding...
Sorry for the rant, I'm just watching these YT girls and my fine 3b to 4b hair just refuses to cooperate... It freaks out when stretched... I'm just sick of wet hair but it looks like I have no other choice...
Anyone else team wash and go???

Back to twists. I don't think I can properly moisturize my hair when it's cornrowed.

Team wash n go here! I have been doing WnGs since I BCd. I've learned to perfect 2nd, 3rd and even 4th day hair. I also keep my hair semi stretched by putting my hair in a pony until its halfway dry. Im also all about the heavy cream moisturizers and sealants. Im not really a big fan of PSing and I know how to get a nice braidout but I just prefer my WnGs. Its been working for me so I'm sticking to it.

So many thoughts running through my head right now...
Sigh...off to chelate, DC, M&S, Celies and slap on a wig...
- Why am I natural?
- I miss seeing length and swinging hair.
- I don't even know how to style my natural hair because I'm ALWAYS in a PS.
- Even though I know I don't want chemicals, i.e., a relaxer, I wish I could find a great alternative.
- Why does texlaxing seem like a cop-out to me?
- If I decide not to stay natural, am I rejecting my God-given hair or am I exercising my God-given gift of free will?
- Do I only feel like all of this now because I'm dreading my washing and DC session that I MUST do?
- Will I feel like this when I'm done?
- Or will I go buy a relaxer?
- Or maybe all these feelings will pass when my hair gets longer if I continue to be patient.

ive been really happy with the condition of my hair lately...moisture and softeness has been UP past couple weeks and now that i cut the horrible, thin, raggedy ends, the way they look matches the way my hair feels...really good.
wish i wouldnt have had to cut, but you do what you gotta do, right? i'm not as sad about it as i thought i'd be especially seeing how much better my hair looks.
can we say, no snags when i pull twists apart? yeeeeaaaaah-yuh!

This hair won't be dry before work tomorrow. It's gonna look a fuzzy mess.
