Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Why did my girl at work IM me that Trader Joe's in now in town? She has already been and purchased two bottles of a natural tea tree conditioner. She says the conditioner sells for only $3.99. Her cousin has used the conditioner and said it detangles well and leaves her hair feeling very soft.

Weekend plans have now changed.
 
Bought two new hair goodies at Target today! Going to post reviews soon of Just for Me! Hair Milk Curl Smoother, It's a 10 Miracle Leave-In, and L'Oreal Total Repair 5 Damage Erasing Balm (borrowed from my mother) on my blog!

Finally took down the six two strand twists I rocked for the past two days, cleansed, and applied the L'Oreal DC. So far it looks like my new growth loves it :)
 
llan, no lol. He said the whole time we were dating, "I hate short hair". but i wasn't gonna not cut my hair over a man, especially a man I just started dating. I figured because he said he loved me very much all would be okay, so yeah, I BC'ed in January after 4 months of dating. He was distraught. He hated my hair and begged me all the time to get braids or weaves. I got braids but hated it and got rid of it in March. He treated me differently, looked at differently. It was really difficult. He said then that he didn't like it, but now he's being a LOT more honest about how much he didn't like it.

now that my hair is growing out he's fine with it --as long as its styled --but it really struck a nerve with me that my hair caused such tension in our relationship at that time.

does anyone know the effect of birth control on hair growth? I'm going on the pill for clear skin but i dont want it to effect my hair.

llan, I heard from some ladies that it made their hair thin or fall out after several years of use. I've heard from others that it made their hair shinier or fuller. I think it depends on your body's reactions to hormones.

It's TJ Tea Tree Tingle Conditioner. Their Nourish Spa Conditioner is a holy grail for many women too...they're both very popular and well loved here. :yep:
 
I love my jumbo box braids, but they are so heavy when I put them up && too long to have down all the time with warm weather rolling in.

AHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!

:giggle:

I almost started one, but beyond my rant I would've been throwin enough shade to shield thee ENTIRE east coast.

Shame on me....now go ahead & start yours so I can so I can join in on the fun :drunk:
 
To clarify or not to clarify...
I need to wng tomorrow, but tonight I checked out my scalp and its flake city. Apparently I haven't clarified in about two months now. Lawd geesus....
If I clarify, I *should* twist my hair after to retain better moisture, but with 50/11 assignments due, I ain't got time for that...
Might just clarify, quick dc, then wash n go and hope for the best.
 
I am 23 weeks post relaxer and just ordered my relaxer the other day, why am I watching my tracking information like a hawk.
 
I guess bantu knots, glycerin and humidity do not mix :nono:

Last night I made about 6 bantu knots and applied some scurl to my roots, this morning is pretty humid out. My curls fell as soon as I got off the train to go into work. Guess the hair is 'too moist' to hold a curl. Hmmmm, gonna have to find a better way. My roots are starting to grow in and I *need* the help from moisture heavy products to comb my hair with better ease.
 
Note to self: make sure I don't have my scarf tied too tight before going to work. Was starting myself a headache in the cubicle! :spinning:
 
I also reaeeeeally do NOT like wigs or braids or weaves so I understand. I like wearing my own hair. I also agree that hair color should be treated with caution. Relaxed hair and permanent color or even semi-permanent color is a bad combination. I had a terrible experience with hair color a few years ago. It weakened my hair so much I would literally be washing clumps of weakened flossy hair down the drain. It broke off all the way close to the scalp at about an inch where the new growth started. I ended up having to practically shave it and start over. It was a very traumatic experience. I would never color my hair again.
