Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Getting solange braids after church today. Why am I so nervous. I'm 7 weeks post & will plan a long stretch to December using braids. Before my HHJ, I used to get braids & my hair grew like wildfire. I actually took care of them by cleansing my scalp with sea breeze & spraying an oil on them daily. My retention & growth was good. Hopefully I can finally get to WL/WHip by December doing this.

You KNOW I'm gonna need some pics. ;) I'm looking for someone to do some nice Sengalese twists in the next few weeks...just saying. LOL. P.S.- Hope everything is going well with you!
 
It's time for me to come clean, and restart my HHJ. I have committed the following sins:

-Washing my hair every 2-3 weeks (it needs weekly washing)
-Not moisturizing daily...honestly not even moisturizing weekly
-Not keeping up with weekly protein DC's...for Months...
-Just not GAF about my hair in general.

I plan to trim my hair back to BSL, and nurturing it again. I just had two weeks of hard shedding to set me straight...I'm ready to do better. :yep:
 
Didn't comb my hair for a week and while detangling there were a couple of small spots at the roots with light matting. Wtf! One week is my cutoff for leaving hair in braids. Not really trying to experiment with anything longer esp with so much new growth (9wks + underprocessed roots from last relaxer)
 
Went to Honeyfig today... they seem to be less pushy these days and none of the staff looked familiar except for the owner (super nice lady). Anyway went around the store sniffing and looking at products from lines like SheScentit, Darcy's Botanicals, Curl Junkie etc;

Settled on the Oyin Burnt Sugar Pomade (repurchase. I love the smell of this and although the name suggests some kind of sticky styling product, it's actually a mix of oils and butters only. So will use this to seal. Also picked up Komaza's Califia Moisturizing Spray (first time purchasing this. smells yummy)

I'm trying Aubrey Organic Camomile Luxurious Volumizing Conditioner as a leave in. My hair isn't dry yet but it's feeling good:yep: We'll see.
 
We're officially on the second half of the year. Time to take inventory and see where we are in relation to our year-end goals. :lick:
 
I've hit a BSL plateau and can't seem to get past it.

And I love my natural texture so much I can't keep my hands out of my hair. That may be why I hit the plateau.
 
I cut my hair last night after a major set back. Dying my hair was the worst decision I ever made. My ends had nothing but splits and were super thin.
 
I wake up every morning and look jn the mirror crazily expecting to see hair down my back that I can whip around and pull up in a big juicy bun. Then I quickly remember, its only been a few hours since the last time I saw my hair and I was no where close to my goal. My hair won't look very much different from yesterday, but this time next year, OMG!!!!!

Right. This time next year!!!
 
Was in the Sun all weekend and my hair still felt moisturized by Sunday. Thank goodness I did a mild protein treatment on Friday night.
 
Had waist length box braids put in on Thursday. I like them a lot but I don't think I suit hair this long, I think bsb is the best length for me otherwise my face starts to look too long
 
I'm taking swim lessons this weekend. Any way to protect my hair from the chlorine?

My boyfriend suggests a swim cap but his beautiful bald self knows nothing about hair.I read online that swim caps just keep the hair out of face, not that it actually protects your hair from the water.

Is this true? I don't trust anything online because I assume most websites assume the reader is white.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

This is the best one. http://www.myswimstuff.com/

I would still coat my hair in condtioner and maybe Saran wrap under it the swim cap. I believe most of the ladies here cover their hair. Nonie has instructions and I believe her hair care swim regimen.

I use Aubrey Organics Swimmers shampoo and conditioner mixed 1 part shampoo to 4 parts conditioner. Then I dc, air dry.

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