Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[LifeafterLHCF]

I'm a bit not thrilled. I got to the Koren BSS bc I needed hair clips,simple basic ones. I have gotten some cute ones before. Well I went to over 4 bss one in the hood even and no luck. Now I'm going to be forced to buy at Target or some drugstore. So no bueno. Why can't I get a cute tortoise color hair clip and a black one that is sorta med size on the ground. I really don't like ordering online bc I like my items immediately. The woes of beauty.

Don't know what happened but my hair obsession died all of a sudden. The constant need to do length checks, PJism, desire to check hair blogs and youtube channels just disappeared seemingly over night. And it is welcomed. I was driving myself crazy over some hair. Finally, it is back to being a fun hobby like caring my nails.

Revisiting the faux bun. I need keep my ends baggied until I figure how to combat this dry cold air. I really like MsVcharles' method.

Your hair looks so thick and lush!!

This semi perm colour I done months ago barely showed up ....and where it does show instead of fading it seems to be growing out (like perm colour does)

I can see my new Growth and the old colour hmmmm

Oh how I miss the days when I didn't really think about my hair that much, only took a hot second to wash/condition whenever I felt I had a little time on my hands, & did whatever to it without a second thought. Oh, wait...I didn't really have much hair back then. *slaps myself back to reality*

@Americka, were you part of the Skala frenzy started by coffee last year?

msbettyboop Yep! Posting Skala pics and errythang! Seriously, I love that stuff. Unbelievable slip! I'm still holding onto a couple of leave ins, but none of the poos, cons or masques. *pours a lil leave in out* It's so hard to say goodbye to Skalaaaa...

I just gave away my Skala stash.

*sniff* Did it go to a good and loving home, nakialovesshoes?

Americka I gave it to a member of the forum. Only reason I gave it away is b/c I stopped using cones. When I had chemicals in my hair, I would use the Skala masques with my steamer & I got great results.

I was one of the ones that jumped on the bandwagon b/c of Coffee & I went around to all of the local Big Lots & bought them out.

Locs coming along nicely. I can't wait for my first retwist but I'm fine with the messy look at the moment.

I am not sure how I feel about the ITDF Organicals DC. My hair felt like I had done a protein treatment and it is not what I need right now . I think I am going to use it as a rinse-out from here on out.

 

[leiah]

I need to find a DC with great slip to replace my beloved baba de caracol

 

[HanaKuroi]

I will never ever sleep in henna again. My hair isn't breaking it seems tangly in the back from being smooshed. Never again. How do I fix it?

Detangling conditioner or silicon serum and rinse.

Americka, I know. Coffee had me hunting down Skala like I was hunting down Bin Laden! . I just ran out the avocado leave in which was the only leave in that worked on my hair . I don't know what I'm gonna do now. The shea butter DC was the bomb too but I ran out so I turned to Lory's instead. I didn't like any of the shampoos and the conditioners were so so but the avocado, chocolate and shea butter DCs and apparently lissative as well.

JeterCrazed do you have any recommendations? I can't believe that didn't occur to me.

Banding!!!...Where have I been?! Why did this not click in my mind before??? I hear about /see it ALL the time on this board and it never occured to me to try until I saw this blog post just now. Her hair is so gorge I swear I've been sleeping on all the good stuff Going to try on my hair today after the light blowdry

Ok tested some of my SE products on this head. I can see I love the cholesterol one it made my hair feel like butter. The mega silk was ok. I think it will be going into the give away pile. I want to get to a point in my stash where I know everything that is in there,how it works,and that it works solo so if I do add something like honey or cermiades I know that it's only getting increased and not being added to in order to dr it up. Now enjoying my fresh clean scalp feel and breathe.

 

[melissa-bee]

Revisited Cholesterol. I got the Hollywood Olive Oil one.
Just realising it's saying damaged hair. I hope I don't get protein overload I wanted to leave it in for a few hours.

 

[itismehmmkay]

So trying out going back to rollersets. Would still just do weekly. Also used elasta qp h2o as a leave in. Think I was having a reaction to that other leave in; I've seen that before.

 

[SuchaLady]

Is there a such thing as too much hair? I'm looking at a video on YT and the girls hair looks like rope hanging from her head.

I going to replace AB GPB with Hollywood cholesterol so much cheaper and just as effective.

Biolage Detangling Conditioner

[Philippians413]

I need to find a storage unit for my hair products.

Simply_elle http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=vDHcPUhW9Jo Her hair is so pretty! Long and thick! It just looks like its taking over her head.

 

[hair4romheaven]

Infusing herbs in coconut oil.
Thermaneem poo & condish worked well for a first time use.

 

[SuchaLady]

Think I'm going to give straight hair another go. A roller wrap every now and again wont murder my retention. I really don't notice a difference keeping my hair in that stupid bun everyday anyway. Plus my mama will leave me the heck alone finally.

 

[spellinto]

really hope this garlic shampoo slows down my shedding. black tea rinses work well for me but i just wanted to try something different that could curb my shedding with less stops involved

why do my ends always look a hot mess :\? i'm moisturizing my hair this stretch like there's no tomorrow. i want soft, nourished tresses every day!

now that i've learned how to soften my new growth, i hope it'll be easier to slick down my edges this stretch. i have a garnier wax that i love and that seems to work for everyone else except me when i have months of new growth. hopefully the combo of the softener and the new growth will keep the bad boy edges tamed!

I just realized how much my hair has grown in the last 9 months. I really don't keep track of it because I'm in wigs so often, and I really only wear my hair out when the character I'm playing has an afro. Thanks to mw138 for asking me to post this pic, because it was looking at it and then looking at my siggy that made me think 'yay! I made progress!'

This pic was taken in September 2011

The pic in my siggy was taken on June 2nd. My fro is bigger!! :woohoo:
