Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I'm going to wash my hair for the first time since having my senegalese twists installed and I'm kind of nervous about it but excited because I'm trying out some new products and it's time.:yep:
 
Wonders of wonders...I can finally make a donut/wrap around bun WITHOUT the dang donut!!!! No fillers!!! Guess it is growing, even when it doesn't seem like it, lol.

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 bun all of the time bc it's a super lazeyyyy way to always look elegant :yep:

My hair was in SUCH desperate need for a trim. I think the last time I trimmed was in the spring. I'm so close to APL so I really didn't want to cut off my length but my hair was an absolute pain to detangle and I had a ton of SSKs. So on Sunday I finally trimmed... wow, it's so easy to comb through my hair now! I'm shedding less and my hair feels more moisturized! I wish I had trimmed 2 months ago.
 
I was supposed to cowash my hair today...but this darn homework is keeping me up late, and I'll be too tired to go through the air drying process when I get home. Darn. Trying to find time to cowash between now and my trip on Friday!
 
Washing my hair with senegalese twists was certainly an experience.:perplexed But I love the new products I tried and my scalp feels good.:yep: I'm about to wash this DC out and go to bed.
 
Omg, I just survived a mini panic attack. I tried the Nexxus Humectress "Ultimate Moisturizing" conditioner today and it STRIPPED my hair of moisture! It was okay while I was under the water rinsing it out, but afterwards my hair felt super tangled, even though I had just detangled before washing. I KNOW it was this conditioner because I changed nothing else about my wash day except for this. Even after applying my leave ins, my hair felt rough while it was drying. I slathered my ends and hair with my leave in conditioner and a bit of DC and pinned them to the crown of my head...my hair is starting to feel soft again this way. I dk WHAT was in that Nexxus conditioner but it is NOT all it's hyped up to be!

(That being said, I also think my hair dries better in general when it is tied up as opposed to hanging down. Yes, it dries faster hanging, but I get smoother results when it's in an updo.)

SuchaLady,

I feel you. Back in the day I was fine with adding a bit of this & that to make products more suitable for my hair, but it dawned on me that if I have to play mixtress anyway I may as well formulate my own stuff from the get go. Not only is "doctoring up" products a hassle, adding ingredients usually kills the shelf life.

I'm now a reformed store bought hair product junkie.....but don't ask me about my butter & oil stash :drunk:
 
My hair is getting longer yippee! BUT
Its not Apl yet boooo! Lol but Im staying simply Positive :-D

Can you sleep in buns? Basically do you any of you wash and bun on Sunday and leave your hair like that until the following Sunday?

lol.
I used to think this way. Then I was like F it, I want my hair to look and feel good, If I've gotta do a lil mixology, so be it.
 
I did my first successful finger detangle! I'm so proud of myself for having the patience and taking the extra time to get it done. This may be the start of my hair "taking off" with retention.
 
The 21st will make 16 months since I last straightened my hair. Everyone thought I'd give in to the GHD before the time was up, but I didn't :yay:

Now I'm ready to straighten, but I think I want to use curlformers...I can't stand the smell of burned hair anymore.
 
All these years in my healthy hair journey and I never realized how Bantu knots are such a convenient style. :yep: I think It's been a whole month I've had without using heat now and I hope to see more progress.

I just wish they would airdry quicker. :ohwell:
