Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

From shaved in November to now with a short bob...I'm thinking of cutting to a boy cut. Will decide tomorrow. I have no hairstyle cuz the bob is just how it grew in. I'm a mini Roseanne Roseanna Danna...argh!!!!
 
I feel terrible because this weekend has been so crazy so I have not....dare I admit it....wrap my hair for 3 days.

So yes, it is 1:28am in hte morning and I am deep conditioning my hair. I am using Organix Penetrating Conditioning Treatment. It won't leave my head until maybe 5am. Then I'll wash it out and style as usual.

I'm terrified that I did some damage to my hair because my ends look chewed up. May have to baby them.

No. Protective styles require your ends to be tucked away from the drying air. Any styles where your ends are exposed is not a protective style. People say loose twists and braids are protective. They are not. They are low manipulation styles unless you wear them in a way that you hair's ends are hidden. Cornrows/weaves and flat twist are protective styles, especially if the tail ends are tucked under.

Nonie this is good to know. thanks!!
 
My hair actually got mad at me. How many times do I have to apologize? She is spoiled. I am going to have to spend all week making it up to her. SMH

She likes what she likes.


I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y
 
I haven't baggied my hair for over a year. I don't know why I can't be bothered. And I still don't moisturize. Yet my hair feels wonderfully soft and moisturized. Unusually so!

I don't know if it's the new conditioner by CFF that I tried or CWing with Aussie Moist just for fun mid-wash-cycle...but I can't keep my hands out of my hair.
 
Things I'm minimizing/avoiding this summer: direct heat, sulfates, relaxers. And I'm maximizing cowashing, deep conditioning and protective styles. I'm on a mission :yep:
 
It seems that a few strands have hit waist length! :yay: I'm totally shocked, but I'm waiting for the majority of the back of my hair to catch up before I'll claim that :)

The neglect regimen seems to be working for me right now :look:
 
Got my first negative comment on my blog site today. They said "You need to stop obsessing over your non-existent hair. actually it's quite sad to watch. Just chill and let your hair grow. You are doing way too much."

Idk if it was any of you, but just for the record, this is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about in a previous blog post. It's great if you have long hair and talk about your methods for growing it even longer. God forbid you have short hair and want to talk about growing it out. Why the short hair bias, my God....

Oh my goodness! I am so sorry someone posted that on your blog! Some people have nothing better to do than be mean and hateful.

Talking about your hair journey from short to long is something that is much needed in the blogosphere. It's one thing to see someone grow there hair out from SL but it's quite another to see someone grow their hair out from EL or shorter (trust me, on this one). Don't let this person's comments get you down. You are probably inspiring more people than you realize. :yep:

Why would it be any of us? We are all on the same journey on this board & we all watch our hair like a hawk. Forget them. Keep blogging. When your hair gets to your goal length that same poster will be asking you for your adv. It happens all the time.

pre_medicalrulz i only assumed it was someone from LHCF because I don't advertise my blog anywhere else and this forum is my largest source of visits.

naija24 your blog link is visible to anyone with Internet who happens to visit LHCF, not just members of the forum so you are wrong to assume it had to be someone from here.

If you notice, longtime members who want to keep their albums, blogs, etc accessible to only paid members put that info in their profile. That is why many album links might be in siggy but a line is added to say "PW in profile". Even some sick ol' perv could be studying your blog now and jerking off to any pics of you because you have the link easily available for everyone.

Take the link from your signature and move it to your profile. In your User CP, the same place where you enter your country of origin, length of hair, real name, etc. Put the link at the bottom.

Definitely ignore them, because whoever it is is obviously an a-hole :mad: . People just love being stupid on the Internet.


I have never wanted to protective style so badly in my life :lol:. Seeing my hair hanging out a good 6 inches from my waist makes me want it soooo bad! I'm a' girl on a mission :armyhat:

Someone is intentionally being mean to you. You can span their email on your blog. I would advise you to do it quick!!!!

I am so sorry you are going through that. Now it makes sense your post the other day. Pay them no mind. It's probably someone you had a conflict in the past on here.

Please excuse my iPhone; it's trying to get it together
 
Is it bad that I've resorted to using my Shea Moisture leave in as a lotion for my hands & feet? :look: I mean, the ingredients are all natural...shea, coconut oil, mango seed oil...nothing bad for the skin right? I only used 1/2 of the bottle before I got sick of it, but I felt wasteful throwing it out...
 
I bought a pack of magnetic rollers yesterday and tried them out for a minute. Its the worse product purchase i've made since i've been on my journey:nono::nono::nono::nono:. I cant even think of a creative way to use these without it ripping/tearing out my hair. I should have taken the advice i got from a previous thread on magnetic rollers.

Maybe you should disable comments.

People are jerks.
