Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I need to use up my conditioners. I have probably about 20+ bottles. I'm prepooing, dcing, and leaving in to try to get through this stash. Then, I want to simplify like these other women. They have WL hair and they claim to only use suave.

Longhairdontcaer2011 is my biggest hair inspiration. Although, I don't know if I want to deal with that much hair at my age. She keeps it very simple. Her products are dirt cheap. CHEAP. She's not checking for ceramides, first 5 ingredients, preservatives, etc. Meanwhile, I'm trying to pronounce 6-syllable words in aisle 5. SMH
 
Loving my wash and go right now. I tired something different; I mixed knot today and my homemade oil mix together, then used fruit of the earth aloe gel with just a little Eco-styler level 5 on top

I haven't worn my hair curly in over a month, which is really weird for me especially in the summer time. Maybe on Saturday I'll do a wash and go.
 
Realized I have not worn my hair straight since I last relaxed 6 months ago. I'm lazy and have no desire to flatiron my hair frequently, but I am suprised I have gone so long. A couple months without flatironing maybe, but not this long. Maybe when it's not so hot in Florida, that'll change.
 
Note to self: the next time you want to do Havana twists, you're gonna need at least 6 packs of hair!

On the other hand, I keep getting comments on my Havana twists even though they aren't all the way done. I feel kinda good because this is my first time doing any type of braid/twist install on my own. :yep:
 
I'm really annoyed at people wanting me to install twists and braids on stinky, brittle, dry, and breaking hair. I tell them to wash and condition before coming to get their hair done, but they never do. They're always just wanting to hide the problem and believe the dirt will make it grow:perplexed.

My Havana twists so far. I still have a small section in the back to twist but the majority of my hair is done.

Lucia....HOLD UP!!! Is that you whipping your hair in your siggy? That's all your hair? :spinning:

I can only dream of WL. As I type this, I picture myself with hair cascading down (Laws of attraction lol!).
 
What's the best way to start braids when I have to extend the session over a few days? Do the perimeter first and work into the middle and just bun it until its done? I am thinking if I start tomorrow night/ Sat morning I will have enough to bun and then finish Sunday morning.

The way you stated is definitely the best and easiest way :yep:
 
Took my braids out last night then applied some grapeseed oil to my hair before detangling.
I have some dookie braids in now with some ORS Replenishing pack slathered in my hair.
Plan to wash it out when I get home, DC with AO White Camelia then set my hair to rock my fro tommorrow.

I had my first crazy hair dream last night/this morning.

I had my hair twisted and was waiting for my SO to pick me up for our trip. Then 2 LHCFers dropped by. Not sure why. Don't think I knew them personally. One I knew on the board and she seemed to be knowledge about hair. So my hair is set for the weekend because I'm going to wear a twist out the next day.

Somehow we end up putting my hair underwater. Not sure why. We didn't wash it or take the twist out or detangle or anything. So my twist do as they usually do and unravel and now I have a big fro. So the one lady proceeds to do something to my hair. She takes out those ponytail holders with the big balls on them and starts putting them around sections of my hair. She isn't even twisting my hair. It's then I realize, this chic doesn't know what she's doing. But I'm cool. I let her keep going. I'm not upset about my hair, just worried that it isn't going to be finished before my SO comes to get me. And I know that the by the size of the sections, my twist out won't be defined so I will need to redo the sections later.

So this chic is struggling with my hair and I can tell she is getting tired. She stops working and starts talking. So I remind her I need her to finish up because I'm going to have to go soon. I also tell her that because of the time it is taking my hair is drying out and really starting to shrink. Letting it get too dry is not going to work out. I notice after all of that time, she has only finished a small portion of the back. So I start working on the front and doing my detangling method with my hands and large pieces of hair just slide on out. So I explain to the 2 ladies how to detangle my hair and how easy it is. And while I am pulling on the front section, I stretch it down and I am APL. I was shocked, didn't know I was. But I'm not sure I am APL in the back. The back still looks really short but it is really shrunken.

For some reason we are seated in this large auditorium with a lot of people watching. This second woman was doing absolutely nothing but getting on my nerves. She kept trying to give me oil. I had a container in my lap and she put so much oil in the container that the oil just poured into my lap. I kept wondering, what is wrong with you?

I woke up before we finished my hair or my SO arrived. It was crazy. :lol:

I put all these twists in but my scalp is showing. Can't wear this to work. Untwist and rock bigger twist!

Did you part for each twist? I noticed that when you just grab sections of hair you dont see parts. I noticed this observing someone else. I plan on following that method because the last time I did my twists I had the same issue...and I was parting for every twist.

Yes I parted I wanted it to look neat. I will try your method next time.
 
:lol::lol: faithVA

I had my first not too long ago. I went to the stylist for some reason and she started relaxing my hair. I didn't notice until she was almost done and had no choice but to let her finish. I was mad when I woke up cuz I'm 8 months post and thought all that hard work went down the drain.

What if you just part the top, front and edges only and just grab the rest?

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

Ordered my hair yesterday and I can't wait until it comes in so I can do crochet braids... I hate having to do something to my hair everyday even if it is just smoothing it with my hands. I am just too dang lazy lately:/
 
I had a dream last night that my head was itchy, so somehow I figured out how to shrink myself and walk on MY OWN SCALP only to find out I had lice and I had to kill all the lice eggs on my scalp.

I really dont know. I am tired.
