Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I'm back at the length I was before I met the SHS! :woot:

I just spent two hits flat ironing my hair to see how long it is and it's reverting already :cry: I guess I'll never be able to get swangin straight hair at home. Then again, I didn't roller set first so.....

I'm in that limbo between SL and APL. Probably be here til next year lol.

This past June, I was at a wedding and one of the women there who is natural got her hair flat ironed by professionals that were hired to do hair for the event. Within an hour her hair frizzed up. She didn't know what to do because she normally doesn't do anything to her hair. I asked her if they used anything on her hair and she didn't know. I told her she needed something with keratin. Within minutes of spraying a keratin spray on her hair, it went down dramatically. One of the girls touched it up and she had not a reversion the rest of the night.

Yes I was taking it for growth but also to take some type of vitamins. My nails are growing like crazy though but my skin... they are actually pills instead of soft gels so should I grind them and add them to my DCs?

Tonto, I'm not sure how grinding the pills and adding them into conditioner would work & sulfur based products can be very drying when used on the length of one's hair. In any case, I use a sulfur oil mix and a sulfur ointment solely on my scalp with good results & no skin related consequences.

Also, gelatin is supposed to be good for hair/skin/nail growth & strength; I've yet to try gelatin supplements, but I plan to in a few weeks.
 
new discovery thanks to research and you wonderful ladies in LHCF. Florida heat and humidity +my hair= dry, puffy hair:nono:(I discovered that I higher than normal porosity hair) BUT THEN did a final acv rinse and slapped some on before my leave in..I think we have a winnner:dance7: My hair is uber soft after I did my flat twist out and day 4 its still holding up.
 
My husband is a weirdo. He actually doesn't mind the smell of neem oil. I use it for my scalp and it works wonders but wow the smell really does just linger and I definitely don't like that, but actually kind of likes it. What's wrong with this guy? I think he's the only person that has said that, lol.
 
I don't know why people feel I am tired of my TWA just because I put some braids in my hair for two before going on vacation. I love my hair, just using low maintenance for the two weeks.
 
I figured that if I really need to get to BSL by December, I need to do more than protective styling. I am already going back to wigging my hair. Feeling like purchasing another wig though... I'm taking my bamboo tea daily, doing a light exercising session, eating right, massaging my scalp, sealing my hair and hoping for the best.
I will be doing more henna, more hot oil treatment and everything will be alright *praying*
 
Hairdresser where I work wants to cut and blow dry my hair .....I'm worried ... -____- has he even cut hair like mine before ....don't want heat damage ........would die of I end up with a jacked up haircut and have to wear my tied back till it grows out :-/ .... Those round brushes he has looks scary .......

Ramble over :look:
 
I have a super addictive and perfectionist personality. I am so in to this hair thing, I want to cowash my hair daily. I know it is a no-no for my fine hair but its just so much I want to try so I can get my hair just the way I want it...long, strong, full of body, sheen and shine. Patience, patience, patience
 
faithVA, your new avi looks awesome! Hold your hand up to the screen of your laptop or surf and swipe device, so I can give you an "High Five"! How long is your hair when you pull it? Inquiring minds want to know :yep:

:lachen: That made me laugh. I actually gave you a high five back :lol:
Thank you for the compliment. She and I are getting along a bit better for now :lol:

My hair is all over the place. The longest part in the front reaches my top lip bu most reaches the tip of my nose. My crown is EL. The rest is NL. I hope to graze SL by the end of the year. We will see. I'm just glad my 2 strand twists are starting to look normal. :yep:
 
I'm a hoarder when it comes to my absolute favorite products because these stupid butt suppliers stop selling stuff:(

Now why in the world did Sally's stop selling Excelsior Millennia Mud Reconstructor it is amazing :( now I got to use my supply sparingly because I refused to pay $13 for what I use to pay $6 for :/ whyyyyyyy

I roller set my hair today. Took me TWO hours to dry!!!! What the heck!!! LOL

I promised myself that I will start taking better care of my hair from now on. I'm going back to pampering my hair once a week.

Finally dusted. Made about 40mini twists and snipped 1/4 inch off each one. The twists looked wild and scraggly on my fine low density hair so I took them down. So well defined! But still wild. So now I got them French rolled for the night under my bonnet. Hoping this tames them and fills them out. Got a date tomorrow!

Panic is slowly building. ...my steamer is broken. ...dh said he would look at it for me. What if he can't fix it:cry:
It's not easy getting steamers in Canada for a reasonable price:nono:
 
I'm going back to the crack:look:. I mean relaxer. :lol: I'm both, excited and nervous. Its been YEARS.

I can't wait to not have slightly oily hair all of the darn time.:lol: and I'll finally be able to see some length without having to stretch a curl. And within an hour of taking my braids down, my hair turns into an afro.:look:

Okay. I just made myself more excited. Y'all see how easy it is for me to make myself happy.:drunk:

I can't wait til my relaxer gets here!!!:drunk::yep:

I don't know about all that, but if I helped in any small way that makes me happy! :hugs:

I can't wait until next year to see where your hair is at! Your transformation has been so exciting for me and DD. I am so happy for you. You were consistent and patient. I admire that and I hope other struggling ladies see you as a role model and inspiration.

My cousin asked me of if I still use megatek. I told her I haven't in a while. Apparently, she's been keeping up with it. No wonder her ponytail caught up with mine so soon....
