Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Shrinkage is so annoying! It really bums me out. I feel like I am treading water and not getting anywhere. :( It is so discouraging.

I think I will keep a one inch piece that I straighten every few weeks to make me feel better.

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

I would love to be texlaxed but not interested in enduring the transition from one texture to another.

Transitioning to texlax isn't so bad. Especially if you bun most of the time. I've been going for 22 months and I just started getting the urge to chop (but I'm not going to). And the thickness is amazing!!
 
Struggling with my hair being natural.

I dont know what to do to feel “pretty”. I am in that werid space of, hair too short but its getting long, and its curly so its shorter than it looks.

It doesn’t help that I wore NO makeup today and looked terrible. Meh. I just want to be pretty. Why cant I be pretty.
 
I am scared to use the HE HIS conditioner I bought. :lol: My hair is having the best time ever and I don't want to do something that would change that.

Girl, cut it out, LOL. You look pretty, regardless. Make that face up, get yourself plenty of hair candy, and ride this "rough patch" out. Focus on other aspects of your personal beauty until your hair catches up to your standards.
 
I'm missing my straightened hair right now, but I know that once its straight I'll crave big hair plus I'm not good at combatting reversion.

How do y'all natural gals keep straight hair straight for weeks? My pressed hair is always one shower away from a puff lol.
 
I think my hair has multiple personality disorder, every couple of months right when I think I've got a good routine to follow it changes on me....oh well, just have to go with the flow...maybe it's a seasonal thing
 
Sign that you're hair-obsessed: I'm going on vacation on July and I'm already thinking about how to do my hair. Individual braids of my own hair? Cornrows with extensions?
 
Most of my hair is longer than my nape, but both sections are healthy. I've been struggling with the question of whether or not to cut the length now or just keep it trimmed as I let the back grow out.

The back grows so slow.

My DH says to just let the back grow, it's all "long" so no one knows about the length difference except me. That sounds reasonable, but depending on how I style my hair. I think like this off and on - constantly. (lol)

It's up in a wet conditioned bun with a headband for now. If I bun, I can't see the length difference.
 
Something is going on with my hair and I don't know what it is. Nothing bad or good. It is odd. Maybe I am balanced. My curls are changing diameter. My shed circles are twice as big. I don't know what is going on.

I think having the back shorter makes the hair fall better when down. My back is shorter, but it was cut that way so my hair falls right when it is down.
 
My scalp was too itchy and my hair felt so freaking dry... I decided to wash it, began with ACV for the gunk on my scalp, let it sit for 15 min, went on with the shampoo (Trader Joe's), my "protein" mixture (1 egg, 3 Tsp of olive oil and Trader Joe's conditioner) that is sitting on my hair... my scalp feels so fresh! I like it :D
 
I am....6 months natural as of Oct 1st? (YAY) With about 4- 4 1/2 inches of hair from a 1-2 inch cut back in March...so thats 3ish inches in 6 months, not counting the bit I cut off recently to cut off some damage. I think thats pretty decent. I am nearing neck length stretched and chin length on the sides. Hopefully I will get at least 1 1/2 more inches by the end of the year (by my last relax date). Getting to SL by my 1 Year Nappiversary would be fantastic. My over all goal is MBL/BSL and hopefully I will achieve that on my 2nd year of being natural from my BC (March 2013). So March 2015 (WHEN I GRADUATE GRAD SCHOOL AHHHH). Ahh that would be such a nice graduation present. I think two years is a reasonable goal to reach MBL/BSL. I am excited.

Wow your hair grows fast!
 
Really? I didn't think that was fast at all hahahahaha. I don't know. I was about 1 1/2 inches from SL last year when I was relaxed and I had a similar cut back in february of 12' (2-3ish inch cut). I think I BC'd from like 5- 5 1/2 inches...oh wait wow if I get that extra 1 1/2 by my end of year goal I will be back where I BC'd last year...YES! Hahaha. oop.
 
I'm sitting in Harlem in a Dominican salon with one of the cousins that I met in Vegas! I'm so glad I wondered upon this board.


Chick and her blow dryer will not be touching me I'm here for moral support & to translate.
