Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Browsing through the hair products aisle at Walmart and see that Motions has a heat styled natural hair line. It seems to have multiple steps to the product line but there was only the cleanser (step one) and the sealer (step three). Has anyone else heard about this line of products.
 
This is just plain sad. Before I did a Hairveda order, I decided to check my stash. Recently, I put my hair products in one of those slide-out drawers from the container store, but I still have some stuff a huge plastic tub for all beauty products like cotton balls, extra soap, etc.

I found in the old tub:
Ouchless hair bands
a new jar of Hairveda almond glaze
a new Hairveda shampoo bar
deep conditioning shower caps

If I hadn't looked, I would ordered more and bought some stuff today while I'm out.

Lissa0821 MelsharyA did a review on her youtube channel recently. Haven't seen it mentioned by anyone else yet
 
Wow...I really only needed 1 pack of ORS Hair Repair. All this time, I have been using at least 2 packs. Have I been coating my hair w/ condish all this time? :perplexed

I washed her hair friday. Dh wanted to go to the movies after so I just put her hair in a bun to stretch it while it was still wet. I sent her to grandmas and for some reason when I went to pick her up the same night her hair was not in the bun and had dried in a matted, tangled mess. Her hair is super long, tbl, but when wet its like sl. It was a big mess. I'm tired! I work 12 hour weekends so today was the first chance I had to tackle it. I knew it was gonna take forever.
 
Tried the Aveeno Nourish+Moisturize condish and so far I reeeeally like it. Instantly made my hair soft and after rinsing my hair felt so soft and fluffy. After my shower I went back and added some safflower oil to it for next time (I always add oil to my condish) so we'll see how it feels with the oil added in. I want to try the shampoo, too.

I just trimmed 2 inches off. I m no longer WL . I needed it ,my ends were uneven and some split ends started to make their way up shaft. My hair is softer .
 
Playing around with 2 leave ins and both of them have their pros & cons. Moisturized my hair with NTM yesterday but my hair doesn't feel as moisturized now as it did before. Soft and fluffy, yes, but still kind of crunchy and tangled. I'm having a really hard time determining which leave in is better for me. :(
 
Finally found out that those little wispy strand of hair,that I see ever so often are mid shaft spilts. Chupsss

sent from IPad using LHCF app. POW!
 
been wearing this wig for almost 3 weeks now, and i'm starting to miss wearing my hair out....determined to keep this up at least until 2 months, BSL better hurry up and get here!
 
Took down my crochet braids on Monday, only to have my stylist cancel my Tuesday appointment because she was sick. *sigh* Guess I'm going to have to learn how to deal with my natural hair sooner rather than later.
 
I think braidouts will be my style of choice starting today until fall. I'll just keep my hair in French braids as my protective style and take it out when I Want to wear it down.
 
I really love my hair right now. Like I haven't at all in my life liked me hair except this one summer back when I was 16. I would wrap it up only use heat once a week and it was good. It's much longer than that now but it just something that brings me joy. Buns for life lol.
 
Leave ins are so weird on my hair. Sometime they work amazingly, and other times they fail to retain moisture. I just want a staple moisturizer that works consistently for once!

I have been using Chi Silk Infusion about two months and I think it started to dry out my ends. I going to try Paul Mitchell Super Skinny serum this week.
 
I have finally gotten to a point in my HHJ where I don't really obsess about my hair every moment of the day, but I'm really tired of having my hair shape. I just want to be neck length again :(
 
I need to find a new hair stylist. I've given him two chances and he will not get a 3rd. 1st time didn't perm the hair well and burnt me with his stupid marcel. Now this time he burnt my edges to very large scabs and my hair is still under processed. It's been a week and the scabs still hurt/haven't healed. This is AFTER I told this mf not to perm my edges. He was all like "can I ask why?" Bc I said so that's why. I believe this was intentional. You didn't have a problem not perming my edges last time. So why this time? June was supposed to be a full year I had no relaxer on my edges and he messed up that up for me.

On top of that, he cut my APL growing towards bra strap hair to shoulder length. Then styled it so it looked chin length. Every one was staring at me. I had to go home and comb out that ridic mess. I'm annoyed that he cut my hair this short, but I'm livid at these scab burns and for that he's lost me as a customer. I usually cry (lol I'm a cry baby) after a really bad hair appt but I know it'll grow back so this time I did not cry, but I want to kick him in his throat for burning my edges.

I really hate getting relaxers and this is why I stretch 2-3 months at a time. My ng is always very dry and I try every product to try and help. If I ever figure it out then maybe I can transition.
I sent in my sample for the cheap version of the hair analysis site and I bought the califia mostourizing spray bc I heard it works well on dry hair. I will be having my mom apply a relaxer from now on or maybe visit the beauty school in my neighborhood. I'm not visiting a stylist that refuses to listen to me about what to do with my hair and then have the audacity to charge me an arm and leg for it.
 
So glad I clarified and remoisturized my hair. It feels so much better now, like it's revived from sickness or something :) Not experimenting with a new products for awhile! I have been trying on some of the new hats at Target though, maybe I'll start experimenting with those... hmm ;)
 
Man, have I gotten lazy. I am definitely following the low manipulation regimen this summer. My hair has been in a puff for two weeks...only taken down to moisturize. I don't find that it really needs it at the moment, so...I'll be bunning next week! Maybe I will feel up to washing it next weekend. *sigh*
 
Just saw a photo of a beautiful Indian woman wearing a thick long braid. I wish the ends of my hair were that thick! My hair is thick from the scalp down to the middle and starts to taper/look thinner towards the ends. I'm thankful for what I have (already thick hair naturally) but having hair that's thick throughout the entire strand would be cool...
 
So I had the bright idea to mix a few drops of peppermint oil in my henna (to help cover the smell). LAWD my scalp is on fire. I've had this ish in for 10 minutes and I'm about to wash it out and mix a new batch.

Here's the kicker- My Mom passed by and said, wow I can't believe how much henna stinks, it smells like marijuana :wallbash:
