Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Arian]

Try Terressentials. When I find that my standbys aren't acting the same I know it is time for a mudwash.

I have packets and bottles of ors because my hair did not like it.

I have permanent color...I thought that you could not use this stuff if you are color-treated?

I just get tired of looking...I have sooo many products under my sink, but I continue to just look....trying to find the right formula to keep this hair moisturized..

....she done lost her mind if she thinks she can use my whole Jar of silicon mix and not replace it.....umm how about no??

You better get her!!

I went to Sephora.com to browse and I see that are selling Wen hair products now. I may finally try some Wen products now.

Only almond tho

It didn't say you couldn't.

I think it is mostly for people that use cones. I didn't have ti do that full detox either because I use natural hair products. There is a thread called mud wash something. I thought ladies with color treated hair used it.
faithVA can Arian use the mudwash if she has color in her hair? I can't remember. I can't link LHCF articles within LHCF for some reason. The LHCF article is mud wash = no dc?

I bleached a section of my hair and called myself dying it purple, but it came out burgundy

Think I'll be straightening and trimming my own hair from now on. Hopefully I don't do a crappy job lol

I traveled an 1hr to get to a salon yesterday, got there..decided I couldn't bear the thought of a new unknown touching my hair..promptly left and returned home...

*SIGH* you never listen, do you? If those braids are so tight that its painful to just to move your eyebrows, is that really a protective style? If you need to take an Advil for a hairdo, it can't possibly be good for your scalp/hair. You're literally pulling your hair out. Welp, I tried . Can't say I'll be around for the pity party when you start to go off on how jacked your edges look. If you keep beating up your hair like this, it will look just that....beat up.

shortdub78 yes, it's my hair. I'm not relaxed, I'm natural. I straighten about 3-4 times a year.

Your hair is gorgeous how long have you been growing it?? And How??? Reggie pleaze?

I am trying to teach myself to be more light handed with my products so I dont blow thru my favs to quickly for no reason

 

[Arian]

I cut out several split ends today on one section of my hair. They were awful looking...to say the least. I know now that it is time for a major trim...thing is, I'm kinda excited and not dreading it too much. Want something different anyway and I know my hair will grow back and be healthier than ever...

 

[melissa-bee]

Purchased some red hair dye.

 

[daviine]

I cowashed with Shea Moisture Restorative Conditioner this morning and for the second time today I feel nauseous. I'm going to have to give this bad boy away. I can't take the smell.

 

[LifeafterLHCF]

Ok so I need to vent just a second and I will move along. I was wearing Sensationnel half wig for 2 weeks only. That joint looked a ham yesterday. I thought oh it just needs a bath so I washed it and cowashed it last night and let it air dry. That joint still looked a mess. So I thought ok I will chop it up a bit..yea that will be in the trash now. I'm mad I bought another one this week so I know that wig will only be good for 2 weeks max. SO I had to break out a oldie since I really don't want to do a full wig. I broke out the phony pony. I will be looking like I Dream of Genie for the next month. Glad my hair is texlaxed so it can be smooth with gel and not revert. I'm sorta bummed bc I was liking braiding my hair up in the back and now that I have my sulfur I was going to oil nightly. Wigs use to last forever back in the day.I could buy one in May and still be good in Aug..those were the days.

 

[halee_J]

Ok hair, I realize now why you acted out last week. You need to be stretched. A lot. Dem 4 braided joints I put you in last week were a joke. So as soon as I rinse out this DC I'll be banding you up while you airdry o/n. Hope you like it...work with me please

 

[ScorpioBeauty09]

I think I'm going to wash my hair tonight ahead of schedule. I think I figured out what's wrong with my hair and I want to see if I'm right. I'm supposed to meet my friend tomorrow but I think I'll just bun it and be done.

 

[APrayer4Hair]

Devastated that I just found my first SSK :-(

 

[diadall]

Think imma texlax.

 

[Renewed1]

Think imma texlax.

diadall join me on the dark side. muhahahahaha.

No, I'm texlaxed and I love it. It's the best of both worlds, I can do my wash and gos and straightened my hair easily.

I do find it laughable, people think I'm natural when I wear my hair curly. LOL! I just go with it....no need to correct them.

GoddessMaker get human hair esp. In the summer

 

[ScorpioBeauty09]

Glad I washed my hair and proved my theory right. My hair is the weirdest bunch of dead protein!!lachen: But I love it and I'm determined to make my hair goals this year. Hopefully this is the first step back on that path.

 

[MrsJaiDiva]

Operation Co-Cleanser was a flop...back to the drawing board. This is a fun but tricky project...making Wen ain't easy...

Gonna DC, and trim today. It's needed...especially since I can't stay away from the WnG's this summer.

 

[LifeafterLHCF]

My hair feels like heaven. Clean,protein treated now sitting in a moisturizing dc. I doubt I will go under the dryer it's just too hot for that. Will leave it in til late evening then will set my hair in a pony tail. Glad I thought to rinse my phony pony in distilled vinegar and water so that fake shine could come off. I need to start researching weave since I want a sew in for my pageant and I haven't bought a bag of yaki in years. I know I need something that has body and is full because it's a pageant lol. Not sure of color.

 

[daviine]

Just asked my mother-in-love to make me silk headbands or show me how. She said yes!!!

 

[Arian]

Co washed today after DCing Friday night...hair felt dry..

Sent from my 4G Thunderbolt using LHCF app

Thank you :blush3: I've been growing on and off for a long time, but I really got serious in 2009 trying to get rid of the heat damage and getting healthy hair. I had length but it was pretty damaged.

I try to keep my regimen simple.

I wash and deep condition once a week.
I do a protein treatment once a month.
I also cowash most days and do a wet bun or wash n go.
Seal my ends with olive oil.

I straighten my hair 4 times a year to trim.

If you have more questions let me know.

 

[cutenss]

I have come to the conclusion that I do not have the hair for WNG I have wavy hair, not curly hair. Although the ends to curl up on their on. But for the purposes of having a curly look, my hair is not the hair. Oh well, back to straightening. I will just have to admirer those that can wear a WNG.

 

[Evolving78]

i really need to wash this oil out of my hair.

 

[halee_J]

I think the hair liked banding. That experience also taught me I should detangle in smaller sections. 4 is not enough, 8-10 sections is more like it.
