Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I am estatic that I got my hair trimmed , because it was very much needed. But I am definitely missing the length. I figure by December I'll have all that I cut off and more. That alone will keep me motivated.

Enjoying being hairless under my armpits and other areas. I have four more treatments to get , and I can already see hair that is not returning. I wish I would have the guts long time ago to get a wax and laser treatment. That way I could have avoided the many ingrown hairs and scars that are left behind. :cry2:

Good thing about celie plaits under your wig for weeks & weeks at a time is when u ready to hit the town, I can just simply snatch off the wig & rock the biggest, sexiest, fluffiest braidout ever!!!!!
 
so today i used terresentials mud wash in lemon scent for the second time. And once again my hair HATED it. Thats so like this ****, everything that works for others she just side eyes and keeps popping her gum. Grr. I did the chicoro prepoo before hand and my hair felt great. but as soon as i put in the mud wash ( i used 50/50 mud to water) my hair felt dry and rough. there was NO way i could detangle with that. And my hair felt horrible forever after. It again left a slimy feeling on my scalp.I had to do a second shampoo with my chagrin valley shampoo bar. That made it drier but at least got my hair clean. oil rinsed, dc'ed, m/s and twisted in chunky twists. My hair feels like straw. Im tossing the rest of that terressentials, i hate to waste but it aint worth continuing to use. Next week ill try my untouched Shea moisture purification mask. I used it before and it had alot of slip and felt good.

:lachen: Who told you it smelled nice?

You are right. All AO conditioners smell medicated. I have yet to figure out what ingredient(s) cause that.

They work so well for my hair though I ignore it.
 
Washing my box braids was a success!!!

First, I pre-pood my real hair with hemp seed oil.

Next- I washed my scalp (with diluted clarifying shampoo + peppermint oil).. rinsed.. then did a black coffee rinse (focusing on my scalp).. I then shampood the length of the braids with diluted moisturizing shampoo..rinsed my entire head/hair and finally I did a quick DC with diluted conditioner.

Once done with the shampoo & conditioning, I dried the braids with a towel, sprayed the braids with original brown bottle formula Infusium23 then moisturized with Oyin Dew and sealed with my oil mix.

I will do this all over again in 2 more weeks.

So far, box braids are the easiest PS options I think I've ever had!

I just heard it around the site from way back because I used AO WC first and it smelt like bush and curry. :sad: I swore when my natural health food store had it in stock, I'd buy it. This better be the HG of moisturizing conditioners.

someone sure did tell a fib. That stuff smells like grandma candles. And it doesnt work for me either. Good thing the smell doesnt linger

It doesn't linger?! OKAY GOOD. I'll use it on a random day just in case though.
 
Hoping this BC nd all this work and time and meh is worth it. #hairimissyou #ihopenaturalhairlooksgoodonme #sonervous.
 
I did it all today - trim, protein treatment, and clarify. Not a broken hair in site. Happy I stopped being lazy and trimmed my hair. It has been six months and it needed it.
 
Ugh been experiencing protein overload...doesn't help that I just did a protein treatment :perplexed:
I think I've been overloaded because I've been using a bunch of leaveins with aloe vera gel/flaxseed gel. Also, the Naturelle Grow Aloe/Avocado DC that I did the previous week didn't provide my hair with the moisture that it usually has.
I slathered on some Qhemet Cocoa Tree Detangling Ghee and my hair is slowwwllyy going back to normal!

That QCTDG will get your hair back on track. You might have to use it a couple of times. But it will do the trick.

I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y

Yeah it has been doing well so far..but I have a question for you..
Does the Qhemet Burdock Cream contain protein? I just looked at the jar and it lists oatstraw and wheat extracts..I'm so confused now :spinning:
 
I wish it was time for a relaxer because i'd like to see my retention progress since December. But I wont be able to see it until July @ 7 months. sigh...
 
While I was in the shower shampooing my dog chewed up one of my seamless combssss! :cry2: He's lucky I have another one but this is making me want to buy a couple more ..
 
soooo, i decided im going to try out the curly girl method for a while. I went out and bought Tresemme natural conditioner and a new wide tooth comb (just in case its needed). I washed my hair on friday, and it was sooo dry today. I cowashed today, finger detangled, and put a small amount of tresemme in my hair as a leave in. Put some neutrogena leave in and a bit of oil and did a wash and go puff. My hair feels very soft right now.
 
Note to self: next time I take out braids I have to detangle before I wash. Lost a golfball of hair shed and breakage... one of these days I will get it right... tired of being at this length... I want to chop it off like old school toni braxton chop...

ETA: I finger detangled but that was not enough. Never finger detangling again!

I know how you feel girl. I did that a couple weeks ago and lost so much hair. Definitely learned my lesson there.
 
My local BSS finally started carrying Silicon Mix products!! Bought 2 of the DC and one bottle of the leave in. Looking forward to using it after my black rinse that's currently in my head.
 
My scalp feels not right even though I just washed my hair a couple days ago.:nono: Now that it's practically summer it's time to go back to the baking soda. I first used it last summer and it did wonders for my hair and scalp. My theory is that I need to use my ACV mixture during the colder months and a BS mixture in the summer. My hair is still growing though despite me being off the Hairfinity.:grin: I'm back on it now though.

OMG, strangling after taking braids down is s must! This should be on a warning label on every pack of braid hair, all braid products and anything that has to do with braiding. The knots are insane. Smh. Sorry, Sis.

My birthday is next month and its been a year since I last trimmed. I know I'm due but I'm scared. I want to trim it myself.

Feyes self trimming method works really well. Google it if you don't know. Tweezerman scissors work good too

Please excuse my iPhone; it's trying to get it together
