Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[nakialovesshoes]

More of a random question than a thought. I got caught in the pouring ran while exercising yesterday - almost exactly 24 hours ago. My hair was soaking wet & I wrung it out some while outside because it was loaded with Ecostyler gel.

When I got home I took a shower but didn't really get my hair wet. Can you believe that the center of my head still is not dry? What would cause my hair to take this long to dry? Porosity?

TIA. I didn't think this was worthy of an entire thread.

Who knew to get me to leave my hair alone I just had to get pregnant:/ I cant believe I havent touched my hair but to wash 2X and moisturize every couple a days with braid spray in 5 weeks:/ Thank God for crochet braids. Next week I promise to do better.

I'm going to have to let my kids hide my scissors I trimmed another 1/2" tonight while M&S. That makes almost 2" since Friday

lamaria211: hide those scissors in a carry-on suitcase, put the carry-on suitcase in a larger suitcase, and then take them to the attic or have someone put it up where you'll have to climb up to bring it down.

So, I ended up texturizing today...cause I have no patience. I didn't put in a full 2tbsp of Aussie 3MM, and I swear I almost killed my curls...sheesh! And I can see all the thinness in the front. I need a follicle transplant. Thankfully my curls are just fine, and I beat back the frizz beast. Must not touch the Linange till 2013.

Sigh... I know better than to shampoo w/ NG. Conditioner only but noooooo my scalp was itchy!! Sigh... Now to take hours detangling.

Time to break out the cold weather hair practices already. Unfortunately, it's not cold enough to start doing hot oil treatments :-(

 

[pre_medicalrulz]

2 hours later & just finished detangling one side of head. Now on to the next...

 

[pre_medicalrulz]

Here is the hair from one side of my head only...LOL This is way more then usual but its ok because i didnt detangle before i washed. I'm far from going bald.

 

[pre_medicalrulz]

1am..done. smh enough hair thoughts...going to bed.

BSL is the beginning of long hair in my book.
I need to have long hair by spring!

On my way to work I saw this woman with a nice low cut. I was staring so hard she prob thought I was a lezbun. Lol boy I'm itching to shave it all off

Sometimes I check to see how many times I've posted in a thread and I'm often shocked I've posted that often

 

[WendellaWoody]

I was thinking...

I wonder why MBL is not considered Lower Back Length? After all, that area anatomically marks the lower back/lumber area, from the diagrams I've seen. In fact, BSL actually seems more like MBL to me...

Just my 2 cents.

 

[Nix08]

WendellaWoody that's a good observation...it seems like bsl is marked by the top of the bra strap and mbl the bottom of the bra strap - regardless I find it confusing I like your thought process better

May i add that some people have their BS half inch below their armpits and some others 2 inches below,it s not a great measurememt tool imo

 

[WendellaWoody]

Nix08, it totally confuses me too! Glad to know I'm not the only one!

Kindheart, EXACTLY!!!

I would really love to see this lady's hair. She drops off and picks up her daughter every day with something on her head that looks like a sleeping cap. It doesn't look like a hat at all. Smh....

While cleaning my closet, I found a liter bottle of CON's moisturizing 2-1 shampoo (green label and cap). It was 3/4-5/4 full. I know it's over three years old, but I just couldn't resist. I gave it a shake and unscrewed the cap. Y'all, when that smell hit me....you just don't know. I was having a craptastical day, and finding that bottle made me happy.

Shot, I was able to get someone else to wash my hair for me tonight because of that bottle. We sat there and just smelled it. My hair felt soooooo good. I followed it with ORS replenishing pak and plaited my hair for the night. I'm treating it like liquid gold. I know it'll run out or maybe go super bad on me , but I have to treasure this bottle.

I never knew how much I missed the original CON until now.

 

[MrsJaiDiva]

Ugh...I AM SO STYLE CHALLENGED!!! I have the urge to flatiron it, for no reason. I just want to play in it, but I don't have that nice thick type 4 hair, and my hair only looks good when it's curly. And it's still thin in front, and just Why Me???

Ok...I think that's enough whining...

 

[youwillrise]

i need to stick to a simplified, but not lazy haircare routine.

there's never a happy medium for me. i'm either being ultra lazy and not taking care of my hair at all OR i'm doing TOO much to it.

i think ive decided that im just going to keep it very simple...while still taking care. especially now that my schedule is even busier. im just too tired when i get home to be messing with my hair too much. gotta mold my haircare schedule to my life...not the other way around. haha.

also...i need some new hair accessories!

Been feeling this way too. But I would eventually want to grow it out and don't think I could stand the awkward grow out phase a 4th time....

I received my order of seamless combs from Hairsense yesterday and I opened the package in front of my SO. He had this inquisitive look on his face and asked me "so they don't have combs at the store?" I couldn't help but to laugh

All this week I've been bunning and using Tresseme as my leave in and sealing with GSO. I've been working out so it's been mostly out of convenience. I'm doing a rollerset tonight so I'll get to see my hair.. My ends and my hair overall feels so much smoother since I started using GSO, I'm assuming from the ceramides. Totally sold. I even put some on my skin this morning mixed in with my moisturizer because I had been having some dryness after my skin peel, and my skin feels much more soft. I also notice my nails feel stronger; I massage the excess GSO into my nails after I apply it to my hair.

I had a urge to relax my hair because I had of moment of "frustration" with my hair, but then I stretched my hair out and seen that it is really growing, it went away...

 

[WendellaWoody]

So here's my random hair thought for the day...

As I was applying DC to my dry hair in sections, I noticed new growth. I was like, "Dag, I JUST relaxed my hair, and now there's new growth!" Self-relaxing is always a laborious process for me, so while I prefer to do it, I don't always enjoy it. Anywoo, then I started thinking about all the treatments I do to my hair in these various challenges and thought, "Aha! There's the reason for the growth!"

Sort of a catch 22...want the new growth/length, but not fun dealing with it.

Anyway, just my 2 cents.

 

[Lissa0821]

It's been fun but I think I need to go back to washing my hair twice a week ago. My hair is truly limp after a few days.

Whatever the dew point is this week has been working wonders on my hair.
