Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[MrsJaiDiva]

I am attempting to "make" coffee oil. I have had ground coffee beans sitting in a mix of black cumin seed and meadowfoam seed oils for over two weeks. I am at a loss of how to extract the oil. Cheesecloth? Or a regular sieve?

I use both. I do the first strain with the sieve, which gets out the larger bits...then I strain again with cheesecloth (saves me from wasting up my cheesecloth as well). I also use this http://www.amazon.com/Finum-Brewing...7034806&sr=8-4&keywords=coffee+brewing+basket. Does a great cup of coffee too.

I'm having a little anxiety about trying to find a hair stylist in my new area. I've done the whole "hair tragedy" thing more than enough & I don't want a setback now- not after all my progress. I hate moving.

I have forgotten how to straighten my hair. I need to read up. It has been almost a year and I have had a mental reset.

My hair is still damp from washing the yarn twists yesterday morning. Here's my next plan: Wear yarn twists for approx. two weeks. Remove twists and save yarn. Wash and condition yarn then allow to air dry while I continue with my regular wash day plans. When finished, do yarn braids again. That sounds better.

Im starting to think that once my hair reaches the longest its ever been (BSL) this whole impatience for growth thing will go away. I will be happy with my length and the longer lengths should 'feel' as though they come faster......... or at least i hope.

Cut my hair a litle over a month ago because I wanted to wear it out in a big afro only to see a woman in the store the other day rockin' her BAA in all its glory! So now I feel like I duped myself into cutting my hair when I should have let it be.

Just realized I'll be 2 years post in 2 weeks. That second year went quick! This time next year I want to be BSB

I believe my hair is getting thinner with length like its thin at the ends. What do I do to fix that?

 

[HanaKuroi]

I really just want my hair to be long enough for two thick plaits apl. Not just the hair back half of my head. All of it.

I finally really looked at the texture of my hair today. I've been so caught up on trying to keep it stretched to keep it from tangling that I never really noticed the beautiful curl pattern.

Now, if I can just get the courage to cut off these relaxed ends, I just might really njoy my natural hair.

And, don't even get me talking about how hair lazy I've been since I've been transitioning and stopped daily cowashing. Gotta get back on the ball.

I am going to start co-washing every other day to stretch products and save money. Friday I will test working out and not rinsing out the sweat from my scalp. If it rebels, I will chuck it up and keep co-washing after my workouts.

It itched slightly by the end of the day, but nothing major. I also enjoyed second day stretched hair . I guess my new schedule is co-wash 2-3x a week and cleanse & DC 1x a week.

I realllly wish there was a hooded dryer big enough for me to fit all my hair in big rollers.

Grapeseed Oil + SE Mega Moisturizing Conditioner as a DC = hair That was my first time mixing oil into my conditioner, but it will not be my last.

Weave is now installed. I will press and flat iron the leave out in the morning. Dying the tips to get a ombre look came out really nice, its not to loud, because I will be staying a new job at the bank on the 17th.

Before putting the weave in I used nouveau wave leave in and argan oil. After putting the weave in I used the argan oil between the tracks again.

[ladyscorpian14]

I wish all my hair was the same length damn you curly hair

 

[IMFOCSD]

Overnight airdrying in rollers = a waste..sigh..

 

[Platinum]

As much as I really like my natural hair, I'm starting to miss having straight hair. I'm just tired of fighting with it. I don't know if I should relax it or just weave it back up for a while.

Sigh. I will never ever again get another sew in. I had a setback y'all . My hair is still coming out and I took the sew in out yesterday. My hair has thinned and weakened. I thought i did everything right; moisturizing, dcing under heat, etc. but nope, wasn't good enough. So time to baby my hair under wigs for the remainder of the year. Sigh, just sigh.

lindsaywhat do you think it might have been too tight?

Bought the cutest set of 4 skinny flexi rods in pink. Going to use them for the end of my braids when I attempt my next braidout. A tiny purchase but I'm very excited!

I have tried 4 of the 6 Desert Essence Conditioner 'flavors' and I have liked all of them. The Ginger & Apple is still my favorite, but it is good to know I can use and enjoy the others. I will be trying the Red Raspberry and Italian Grape soon. My only gripe is the small size and the bottle. I go through them so quickly, it is not just economical.

I used the Lemon Tea Tree today and my hair loved it. I think my hair generally loves citruses-based conditioners. My hair was bouncy and shiny.
