Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Can't wait to take these twists out tomorrow.:grin: I'm having them re-installed and when I take them out just before my birthday in a little over a month from now I'm going to straighten my hair for what will be the first time in about 3 months. I can tell I have a lot of new growth just from the braids in my hair so I'm excited to see how long my hair will be then.:yep::grin:
 
That's amazing @divachyk lately I'm lucky if I've been getting 8oz:sekret: and I've been hammering the coffee back:nono:

I guess now is a good time as any to go have that first 8 oz:look: Thx for the reminder:grin:

I'm a one cup of coffee kinda girl. My love is sweet tea & soda. Drinking water does not come naturally. Nix08
 
Got 2 hair compliments today. First: random girl (on campus) yells, "I love your hair" as I'm walk by :lol:. Second: dud on bus says my hair is beautiful and asks me how I got it that way. I say I just put gel in it, and it spirals into a 30 min. q&a with him hitting on me :ohwell:. My wash n'go gets compliments like no other hair style. It's hilarious because it takes so little effort and time :grin:.
 
Under a hat?! LOL!! Oh my gosh! What does it look like....pics?

Tomorrow ill put my hair in 2 braids and try again. And take pics.

When I put it on today it wasn't sitting flat in my head(probably cause of my hair) so the bangs sitting back in my head instead of coming down towards my eyebrows.

It does look really cute with a hat on :)
 
I think I'm gunna cut my hair super duper short on new year's eve and then let it start growing back out to APL and maintain it there.
 
This Jane Carter Hydrate Quench spray is like steriods for me hair. Makes my curls super big and fluffy. Maybe thats just my hair being moisturized after my DC?
 
Looking for something new to add to my list because I'm auto-pilot and want some excitement.

Dear Hair, please don't let that excitement be in the form of breakage or setback, thank you very much.
 
I've decided to go back to bunning for growth. I did this years ago and it got me to waistlength. Now that the winter is coming I dont mind keeping my hair bunned up. I will just make sure makeup and earings are exciting and on point...sorta throw off the monotany (sp?)

Waistlength by Summer 2014.
 
My "plan" was to relax at 16-17 weeks, putting me right before Christmas, but I am feeling a change of mind. Whenever I start to get an Afro at my roots, I start feeling antsy and want to relax. I ask myself, why am I putting myself through this...then I relax and miss the fullness at my roots. I can never be satisfied. Oh well, I am at 7 weeks post now. I will give it till Monday and see how I feel. I am pretty sure I gained a boost of growth with the sulfur/Shea/peppermint massages and inversion. I will do my sulfur massage one more time tonight and wash tomorrow just in case Monday comes and I still have the urge to relax...plus I am going out of town for work on Tuesday and want to be settled with my hair so I can focus on my job.
 
Since I've gone back to conventional hair products my scalp is doing much better. Normally, by the end of the week my scalp is itching something terrible. But, I'm ending week two and my scalp hasn't itched at all.

And since I've been flat ironing my hair has been retaining moisture. I haven't had to reapply at all during these two weeks.
 
I think cowashing about 3x a week is working for me. I need to make sure I do it a little earlier because my braids aren't always dry in the morning.

It does make my regular routine a bit more complicated because I have to style a bit more often but I think I can deal with it.
 
I saw this on BHM and cracked up :lachen: :lachen: :lachen:
I already told you guys that hubby gives me money to pay the grass guy. Once he leaves the house I crank that lawn mower up and start mowing that daggone yard in straight lines. Sweating and all. Then I use that money to buy my addiction....HURRRRR!!!! I know one day I will get caught I can just feel it.
 
Took my twists out and washed my hair. I'm DC-ing now. OMG my scalp feels so good. One thing I don't like about twists is feeling like my hair never gets as clean as it does when my hair's free.:nono:
 
Is this interview appropriate? Its so gorg...

It's hard to really see how it looks on me with my features because I blurred my face out but here you go:
