Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I kinda want to switch from a sew-in to a wig so that I have more access to my hair, but I'm scared of the wig falling off during my dance classes LOL

What's a good watery conditioner that I can use while in braids? My SheaMoisture is amazing but too thick for my braids right now.
 
Thinking of nixing direct heat for the rest of the year.. originally wanted to go until September but if I'm wigging to waist there's really no point of flat ironing before I reach my goal. Unless I reach WL by next relaxer (highly unlikely). Realistically (based on average growth and whatnot) I can reach waist by Feb 2014. Reaching it by Dec 2013 is ambitious but possible. Reaching it by next relaxer is in my dreams lol.
 
Excited to crack open my bottle of Wheat Germ Oil.

From buzzle.com: Linoleic acid, oleic palmitic and stearic fatty acids are the essential fatty acids present in wheat germ oil. These essential oils cannot be manufactured by the body. Hence they should be taken externally as they improve the immune system, the nervous system and help in healthy cell growth and regeneration.

From minimalistbeauty.com: it is a ceramide oil with a pH of 4.25 which is perfect for keeping the cuticle closed and free of breakage.

That stuff STANK but you won't regret it. I use it faithfully and while I have low po hair, it keeps my hair from re-ups on moisturizing.

Please excuse my iPhone; it's trying to get it together
 
Attempting my first ever twistout I normally do briadouts. Used buildablebeauty's youtube video as a guide. Now just need to get to sleep in this humidity with bendy rollers in my hair.

Will see how this turns out when I wake for work in 5 hours. If it's bad I'll wet and bun again.
 
RT but want input (please): I've started a blog titled Relaxed Thairapy. Readership and following is low at the present. While I don't expect miracles overnight, perhaps the title is throwing people off. I know the interest is on #teamnatural these days so maybe my current title is keeping some potential readers away. You think the name Divachyk is more appealing and may lure more traffic my way?

HE is amazing. Once I stopped being so scary about taking my boards and stepped out in faith that I had studied the best I could with a 4 month old then applied to a job (understanding that I had prepared for the interview the best I could). God did the rest
 
Now that I have loose hair again, I not only have to change the way I Do my hair but I also have to dress differently. Ugh, this hair thing involves more than products or styling.

I luuuvv the name divachyk!! I follow you on bloglovin. Is that the same thing?? I am texturized so your title fits me but I could see how naturals might not feel like its FOR them. But I do like the play on spelling in THAIRAPY

I think it's perfect the way it is. Maybe I'm biased because I AM relaxed, but I think from a marketable standpoint: it's catchy and creative.

divachyk, I've read it a few times. I can only speak for myself, but healthy hair practices are healthy hair practices! Good info, regarding hair practices and styling crosses over whether your natural, relaxed or transitioning.

I follow a few relaxed heads in my reader/feedly even though I'm almost done with my transition. For example, againstallodds' Just Grow Already, and n_vizion's Relaxed Hair Health. On YouTube, I follow EbonyCPrincess and Healthy Textures aka Macharie (sp?). Why? The common denominator is healthy hair practices. All of those ladies are relaxed or texlaxed. I'm not. That doesn't mean I can't learn something about healthy hair practices from them.

I don't believe that natural, relaxed and transitioning heads have to operate in silos, or be #teamrelaxed or #teamnatural. IMHO, a majority of healthy hair handling practices is applicable to anyone. It doesn't matter whether your natural or relaxed. Beautiful hair is beautiful hair, hair porn is hair porn, healthy hair handling practices are just that etc.

Be true to yourself, continue to provide healthy hair information, and your following will grow. I wouldn't e-stalk you and read your LHCF blog posts about buns and bone combs, if it was not good information. In fact, I think I'll blame you for making me bone comb poor. Hotcombs.net and Hairsense have a lot of my $$$.

Look Lady, I feel like I'm rambling and sleep talkin'/typin'. If this response did not make sense let me know and I'll edit when I'm not sleep surfin'. It's 2:45 am. I can't sleep, but I'm not at 100% brain functioning capacity, :lol:

Let transitioners and naturals know that they are welcome and your about healthy beautiful hair, regardless of its chemical state, but you happen to be relaxed.

You should make a blog entry on the advantage of wearing the bun/hair net on your buns. Some of us are slow:look:

Also. It takes time to develop a following. Stay consistent. And post on other blogs so their readership can see you. I believe in putting out what you want back. So go support other blogs. Invite guest posters. As you encourage and support other bloggers traffic, you will drive traffic to yours.

No. I've visited a few times already. I just haven't had time to read any blogs lately.

I think its a great blog!! Just keep doing what you're doing. Readership and traffic will build up in time!! I'm there...LOL!!!:grin:
 
Thank you ladies for the encouragement and support - the discussion came about when another blogger suggested I give thought to the name Divachyk because it's very catchy and may attract more interest than the name Relaxed Thairapy.

Still not sure if I regret going natural. All work and no benefits. Meh. Why can't my hair be pretty :(

It will take more length before you can style your hair. You are at an awkward stage. This will pass and you will be loving your hair.

Can you get braids? Then you can have options while your hair grows?

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