Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Haven't used my steamer in forever. Seems like its only necessary in cooler months...

Please excuse my iPhone; it's trying to get it together
 
Thinking I might need to make a m/s spritz again. For people in the Boston area, do you notice if glycerin works well? Since it is so humid up here?

I was thinking of doing a mixture of 50% water, some glycerin, marula oil, avocado oil, some conditioner and maybe some honey if I can get my hands on some.

I think I'm going to start finger detangling my natural hair dry with oil. The first time went well and it made my styling process much easier.

That's the way I do it. I've tried other detangling methods, but I always go back to detangling in dry hair because I experience the least amount of breakage that way.
 
Finally decided on my Caribana hair - flexi-rod curls done on wet hair :yay: did a trial run on my wig so letting those curls set for a couple days. If for whatever reason it doesn't turn out right, then my backup is the curly sensationnel one.

AlliCat I'm planning my caribana boat cruise hair myself... it will probably be a bun. It's a daytime boat cruise. And I plan to get on bad:giggle:

Glycerin mixes have been my savior this summer. I'm in the Boston area btw.
 
I think I'm going to try only washing my hair once every 2 weeks for the rest of the year. I'm beginning to think the manipulation of washing my hair once a week is doing my harm than good.
 
I'm probably gonna wash my hair when I get home tonight. I'll most likely dc overnight and shampoo it out in the morning.
 
i think i found the hair i will wear for the rest of my life. or at least a couple of months.:lol:

i just did those "havana" style twists with marley hair and i love it!:love: idk why i didnt do this ages ago. it looks amazing and it only took a fraction of the time it would take for me to do my poetic justice braids.

finally something flattering, protective, cheap and quick.
 
My plans today if I can get out of work at a reasonable time and get by the farmers market...prepoo with organic honey under a baggy and heat for about an hour. Cowash it out with Wen Sweet Almond. Aphogee 2 min (haven't had a real protein treatment since my relaxer a month ago). Coffee under ORS DC for about an hour with heat. Rinse, roller set with Infusium moisture, vatika oil, Tresemme naturals (LOC). I am typing this so my kids and husband don't distract me from my plans or forget something. I hope it goes well! I also want to get back to Njoys oil at some point. I have 2 bottles of it on my dresser right now. Maybe next week I will try to get back to it. Not sure where to really fit it in...maybe an overnight prepoo the night before I cowash...we'll see.
 
I can't wait to try out this closure....my leave out hair is not working with this straight hair! After the wedding, I'll be trying some curlier hair so I can blend it with my natural curls.
 
I don't think maxi hair vits are working as well for me as Hairfinity was. I still have a bottle left and that will last me another month and a half. After that is done, I'll determine if I should switch back to HF. I'm also getting headaches with maxi this last month and I drink at least 6 glasses of water a day so I'm not sure why.
 
It's been almost a month that I'm taking those MSM pills... and I'm breaking out!
I feel like I'm going to stop, though my nails are getting stronger and longer effortlessly.
 
Saw one of my hair crushes that lives around my way in Starbucks with 4 Celie Plaits!!!!

I'm not that much in love, so I won't be blind to the weirdness of that style, but this is why I told pre_medicalrulz I thought it was a style!

Please excuse my iPhone; it's trying to get it together

So I straightened my hair for the first time in almost 6 months. Major letdown. It feels so thin and I haven't gotten as much growth as I anticipated. I kinda feel like my hair grew better when I was relaxed. This really sucks.

pre_medicalrulz girl I wish I had that type of growth in 3 years!!! :grin:


As for myself, I need to find ways to style my hair. I've gotten so lazy.

I need to alter my shampoo schedule to fit my sulfur mix challenge schedule better so I'm not walking around here looking greasy LOL


Another perk of working from home...I can be fully engaged in my HHJ without having to make myself look presentable for the office. It's rare that I even put on real clothes unless I'm getting out of the house, and even then I don't have to dress professionally.

Mayb it wasn't being worn as a style and just a at home or not doing anything do to keep her hair from being wild. I kno I'll go out n plaits because I'm secure enough to go out and b called celie and I actually get a lot if compliments with my 4 plaits even tho it's just a after wash style

I use heat mostly in the fall and winter, but my hair isn't heat trained. I am very careful so that my curls come back when I wash my hair. My hair still shrinks up to my ears LOL

If you want to be heat trained or wear your hair mostly straight then I don't see anything wrong with going to a salon. Just be careful because the amount of heat that they use can cause set backs.

On utube this girl.had the idea to roller set wet clean hair with large rollers and let that air dry. When u take the rollers out, ur hair will.b smooth so ull only need to pass the.iron over ur hair once to remove.the roller.curl. it works amazingly.

I've never seen anyone like that. I figured it was just for the day, but since she was out, also thought maybe she figured it could be both. It looked messy. Nonetheless, I still love her hair!

That's exactly how i rollerset; airdried. I turn the AC off so i can dry in 45 mins though. With the AC on, it will remain damp until the morning. Lol
