Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

After seeing @Whimsy hair cut it made me think about cutting my hair again. I reached my hair goal length, but now I'm bored with it. I hate having to take care of it. I dislike only being able to wash my hair on the weekends since I don't have time during the week. It's annoying.

I get paid this week, so I'm leaning towards getting it all chopped off.

ETA// I guess I can't use VO5 anymore. To bad, my hair likes the clarifying shampoo :ohwell:

Lurking on my work computer became risky -- I do not want backs & bras showing on my search history. I have disabled photos while lurking but not seeing pics & avatars really take away from the experience.

So since my BC from WL to SL (not my idea, salon disaster), I first happy then total bummed and bought the hair serum from the person that apparently (since all of said person's threads are gone and was banned...) hair serum. I straighten my hair yesterday and I'm now back at APL. Wow, two months. This stuff is gold.

Bun Mistress, would that be Njoy or Sparklingflame?

So many complaints about this steamer! I hate how things trend on LHCF because you never know the downsides to a product until the trend passes. I want to sell my Huetiful for that very reason (the dripping water) but I don't know of anyone that will take it :(

WHATTTTTT? I was thinking about getting one. First time I'm seeing this type of complaint. :ohwell:

spellinto & Holla, the unspoken truth gets us all -- let me be the first to publicly say, that joint will burn the heck out of you if you aren't careful. I can't promote my blog but I did an entry on it if you care to read it. In short, the water dropped for them hood and left a big burn area -- blisters & all (without being too graphic) -- about the size of the palm of my hand. Ok so, I'm 5'10" and can palm a basketball (yeah, prior bball player :giggle:) if that tells you anything about the size of the burn area. I reached out to the company and they responded back with concern but gave me the politically correct answer in a nice way -- but to put it bluntly, they basically said follow the directions.

Where do they gooooooooo?

I rarely see mentions since I am on my phone.


I did not realize that as my hair is deciding to get super thick I need to properly detangle. I think it is the mineral rich. I am natural but ever since last year my new growth has been super thick. I think I will detangle with some sort of skippy conditioner. I need to melt these tangles!

HanaKuroi, when people quote but don't mention, it's hit or miss if they will see the post. I know how to search to find those posts where people quoted but didn't mention me. However, sometimes those quoted posts don't show in history. I just so happen to come back in here and stumble upon these posts that I'm responding to now. That's why I try to mention everyone when I can.

Water your nape and dc it everyday and use a mild or medium protein every other day. This us what worked for me. I lost my nape due to an allergic reaction and this is how I grew it back.

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

DO it!
How long is it now?

I'm going this week to get it cut even shorter. I don't want to have to do ANY styling AT ALL lol. I'm getting it boy short so I can wash, moisturize and go. Nothing to comb or mess with at all.

I'm at hip length, I want to get a long pixie cut. I don't mind a little bit of styling, but the way my hair is now it takes two days to wash and air dry and I'm using tons of product. I'm going to wash and flat iron and go have it cut into my style. That way I can switch back and forth between my natural state and straight.

I want to get this style...

I never see mentions since I am almost always in my phone. When I do use a comp, I will see that I have mentions and I click on them but if I don't read them all immediately, they disappear. Where di they goooooo? It drives Me crazy. And why can't I get them back. I can't always reply then and there. It is frustrating. If I click on anything else after opening my mentions, my mentions disappear. Does that happen to you?

My new nape grew in thicker and the hair is smooth and has clumpier, shiny curls. It is very healthy. You will grow a better nape. Even if you don't cowash your entire head, when you shower water your nape. I would dc everyday and alternate with mill creek botanicals. I had no hair and a bald spot the size of a nickel. I had to wrap my hair across my nape. It was awful. I was so thankful it wasn't the front of my head though.

I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y
 
@HanaKuroi, yes, it does. Click the search drop down and you can type your name in the area where you can search by posts. You should be able to locate all (or most all) posts where you were quoted but not mentioned. Go to your profile and locate mentions -- click that. This should take you to those posts where you were mentioned.
 
Can't wait until my hair is long enough to put in a small pony tail. Probably wont be till december though.

Also. WHy is my hair so frizzy *cries*

I have a wedding to attend this weekend & I want to press my hair. I've picked up & some anti-frizz products && am not against busting out my dehumidifier until I leave for the ceremony.

My hair shall not win this time !
 
I stumbled across a really convincing blog review of Kanechom's ceramide conditioner and went searching for sellers online...I found the entire Ceramida set on Ebay for $20 + free shipping! I'm really tempted to buy, but do I TRULY need the shampoo, conditioner, AND the leave in? I just bought a conditioner not too long ago...but the temptation...!

Bun Mistress, I happy to hear your having a quick comeback from your setback (SHS)! Did you use the sulfur on non-sulfur formula?
 
How could ya'll not tell me that aloe gel is everything I could ever want? I thought we were all sisters :nono: and NO ONE told me how amazing it is! Even on my low porosity pieces in the front! My sister made a mix of aloe gel (from the leaf) with a teaspoon of castor oil and EVOO with some water.

I will never be the same

I feel like I'm going to be strictly bunning my hair for the next year. Purely out of laziness. Plus I can finally bun and its SO convenient
 
I don't understand why two people I know asked me if I trimmed my hair. It's just in a twist out. That means it looks shorter than long straight hair would...because it's been twisted up and let go.

I answered politely...but I'm like are you serious? Ever heard of shrinkage? Both of them were natural!

My twist outs feel good and free (especially at Whole Foods and Earthfare - lol) but I might just go back to a bun as I try to grow three more healthy inches. I am trying not to measure my own hair, so I don't want others measuring it.

On the bright side, I want my hair healthy and around this same length. So I'm growing out the lower nape and my bangs. The middle is perfect and a completely different texture. (lol)
