Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I wish (am pondering) I could open a salon and show these heauxs how its really done. Make them step up their skills or go home.

No one, whether relaxed or natural, should still have to deal with foolery. If I just cater to what people want, they'd go back to salons, just not yours!!!

You do that. Since you are in the NYC Area, I will be your first client.
 
I always find it hard to answer the question "how long did it take to grow your hair" or "how long did it take to get from X to Y length". I had a lot of ups and downs, trial and error along the way so it's not gonna be the same amount of time as if I started my current regimen from Day 1.
 
So member how the wig is a huge hit at work. Well when I told this Jamaican lady I did it myself, she was shocked and wanted me to do one for her.

I could be on to something here :look:
 
Suave Keratin Infusion Smoothing Lower Sulfate Conditioner smells so gooood. I have kinky twists in right now, so I guess I'll know whether or not it moisturizes really well, when I take these bad boys out.
 
So why is this hair journey such an emotional rollercoster...one minute I'm feeling good about my hair and it's progress:yep:..the next I'm lamenting that my hair should be at WL already:cry:

Story of my life. I seriously should be ceiling length by now :spinning: but I remind myself that there has been a lot of trial and error, and in the big scheme of things we've made soo much progress :yep:
 
Trying to enjoy my hair as much as possible before it get's hidden for 6 weeks.
Haven't worn extensions in 2 years now..this will be a nice change.
 
looking at the state of my ends,I feel like I will have to do a serious trim on my ends,this is not good Im trying to make APL by the end of July:ohwell:
 
Thanks ladies! I'm gonna order the millcreek tonight! I was also thinking about you earlier HanaKuroi because I'm gonna order one of those natural reconstructors you suggested in the struggling thread. My hair loves the aphogee 2 min, but my scalp's eczema has something else to say :ohwell:

Love the henna too Nix08. Think when I take down this install in 2 weeks gonna do that plus an indigo....

My curls started popping after i started using millcreek keratin with Giovanni's slapped on top. They didn't pop with GPB at all.
I use Millcreek several times a week. I switch up between keratin , biotin and henna conditioners

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

I found a Conair mini curling wand in the clearance bin at my grocery store...I love this thing:yep: thanks to the poster up thread that turned me onto these things:grin:

@HanaKuroi and @DarkJoy I second the sentiments about millcreek...I'm relaxed but I too use the keratin, biotin and henna and love them:yep:

Not sure why I allow my hair to mat up knowing the hassle its going to be when I wash it. This would not have happened if I stuck w/ my celie plaits under my wig - regimen. Trying to be cute in daily buns w/ thick hair is not a game. smh

No, it is not a game. It's the every day struggle.

My friend told me a man told her "twisting you hair and wearing it out everyday is not good for your hair because the ends will break and it won't get long!"

Sir, where were you 5 years ago when my hair was struggling for retention?

I get so nervous going outside after I've just washed my hair. Seen too many stories of people getting attacked by bees and other things. I think almost all of my hair & body products smell like fruit/cake/candy. I might have to find some fragrance free alternatives for the summer. Bugs swarming me because I smell good is a no go.


My mom's hair is looking shorter and shorter every time I see her. It's almost up to ear length now but she refuses to listen to anything I suggest, like going back to rollersetting instead of flat ironing weekly. I want to slap some EVCO on her scalp and some moisturizer on her ends while she sleeps or something :lol:

I am laughing becAuse I am afraid too. I am running around smelling like lemon cake, vanilla, honey and strawberries.

My mom is doing the same thing! Why are they against rollersetting? She is not caring for her hair right. She is driving me crazy.

God bless both our mothers.

Of course there's that one salty person who can't fathom why someone with already long hair would choose to wear a wig/weave (i.e. protective style) :rolleyes: everyone was positive except her. So I asked her why she cares so much :drunk: Wonder how the saltier one will react when she sees my new 'do. That girl is saltier than the bottom of a bag of lay's original

I'm realizing that although I love to talk about hair and give advice, certain things don't have to be explained or justified, especially to someone with an attitude.

Was about to toss this wig I'm wearing because I've decided I don't really like the look on me. Then a sister at work told me she liked the style for me. So it lives another day.
 
I'm thinking about relaxing my hair. I'm tex-laxed now, but I haven't had a touch up since September. So I have ALOT of new growth.

I realized that I've been natural for 6 years and my hair is no where near WL!!!!

I had nothing but setbacks and the truth of the matter is.......I'm too lazy to care for natural hair the way I should.
 
Bought a pair of scissors yesterday. Three more days and I remove that weave, Jesus! It will only be a month but it seems like it's the maximum I can go. No trimming until December, TLC only
