Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

A twist out on blow dried natural hair makes me look and feel like a rock star. I wish I could pull it off weekly but too much heat + manipulation = dry, damaged, forever SL hair. No bueno.
 
So since hair can be heat-trained, can it be curl-trained too? Like if you always wear twistouts or braidouts will your hair tend to curl more on it's own??? Hmmm...
 
I REALLY want to dye my hair again, but IDK if bright red hair and a bright orange bridesmaid dress would look good together. Guess I'll have to hold off for another 2 weeks.
 
Waiting 2 weeks is a good call NikkiQ UNLESS you're also wearing fuschia shoes...then you'd be colour blocking:look: :grin:

An another note....if I had a place near buy that sold AOHSR I'd go pick some up an slap some in my hair right now....after flat ironing over the weekend I just feel a need to DC, DC and DC some more:yep:
 
Before I pull a baldie I am going this weekend to get some braid hair and do some crochet braids. I feel nothing looks good to me anymore. My hair looks a mess,the wigs look a mess I just can't win. I want to be cute even though I workout hard. So to decide what color and then watch some youtube videos for some inspiration. I know how to do it I just have to make sure my cornrows are tight for it to flow good. This will stay for at least 2 months..I can't do this anymore.

I want to cut off my hair:/ just to watch it grow big and beautiful:) from the beginning.

I am grateful I am in these spring twists otherwise I would have done it already.
 
I am really in need of some hair toys....i tried a twistout for the first time yesterday but it didnt dry completely so it looked more like a wash n go...anyway some hair toys would have a spruced up the style alot.
 
Air dried after I rinsed out my DC to give myself a break from all the roller sets.
I had my first successful air drying in a while but it was kind of involved. At least my hair's not crunchy though.

Well the temperature is high, I left this morning with juicy moisturized curls and came home with dried out hair. I never thought about this before but I think I need to carry moisturizer in my handbag.

I agreed with embyra. I like it to firm up before use otherwise I waste too much;)
 
Flaxseed Gel Fail number 1

I'm still gonna use it though.
None of my home made strainers worked
I saw Naptrual85 use a pair of tights, how come mine didn't work.
First I used some small holed fishnets and when trying to get the last of the gel through, all the seeds come through.
I get a pair of normal tights (that I also don't wear anymore) and none of the gel comes through at all.
At that point I remember we have a small tea strainer. By this time the gel is too thick to go through.
I ain't wasting these flaxseeds. It's not like I'm gonna end up with seeds in my hair... lol

By the time I got to the other tights I think the gel was too thick. I need to get them out of the bin.

How long did you boil it? I boil mine until there is a light film on top then strain with cheapie knee highs i got from Walgreens. If I want it thicker I will boil the strained gel a little longer no more than 5min.

Hmm, I think it was for about 10 mins.
I did noticed when it started turning gelly at the top but kept on for another 5 mins. Then I was like ooh, let me get some shea butter to melt in there just a bit.
Sigh, I hope my hair turns out well tomorrow at least.

Embyra,

I used 1/4 cup of flaxseeds and two cups of water. I think thats the recipe naptural85 used in her vid.
Yeah, I will defo try again, just need a decent strainer. I cut up the last part of my tights and making a headband out of it. I really don't remember what happened to the other half, lol.

:lol: I used a knee high. Worked wonders. I could squeeze all of the gooey goodness out of those seeds. :lachen:
 
My hair feels so dry, UGH! :sad: I know I can just wash my hair but it feels like it needs a treatment that I'm just not cluing into. Maybe I should use my ORS Hair Mayonnaise tomorrow.
