Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I'm going to finish the last of my hair products and then weave it up

This mullet is becoming the Bain of me every picture I take with natural hair it's just not laying right and I'm over it looking all crazy

Every wash day I feel like this ...feeling a little sensitive :lachen:
 
i know i have no room to talk since i'm always stuck at SL or under, but...i'm legit curious how someone can be natural for near 3 years and STILL never make it to SL, while some relaxed heads can go from a fade to SL in a year.

that said, some naturals STILL want to complain about how relaxers are the devil or something. Just saying.

I think it has more to do with the persons general haircare practices than relaxers themselves. Natural hair doesn't automatically = healthier hair if the person doesn't know how (or doesnt want) to take care of it. Whether natural or relaxed, all hair takes some effort

I think it all just depends on the person & their hair.

BTW, do you mean unstretched natural hair? Because shrinkage is serious.

My Student: Ms.Hall where did you buy your hair from?

Me: Ummmm....:look:.....Huh?

My Student: Where do you buy your hair from? Cause my mommy buy her's from the Hair Store and it looks just like yours.

Me: :lol: This is my hair baby, Ms. Hall grew it herself.

:lachen::lachen::lachen::lachen::lachen: Kids say the darndest things.
 
To PS or not to PS? That is the question! Last week, I was irritated with the way my ends were turning out. I had been PSing & going HARD on my moisture-protein balance, and still my ends were wilding out on me! Plus, my hair seemed more tangled each week from having shed hairs and moisturizer all stuffed up in my PS. This weekend I just decided to wear my hair in a ponytail and my hair seems to love it. It is soft, fluffy, and MUCH more detangled. I'm still not sure how my ends are responding to it though. Still, maybe my hair just likes being out more than anything...SO, I'm going to play around with it and just cowash & moisturize more to keep moisture in. I'm letting my hair take the wheel with this one!

I haven't done a proper bkt treatment since may. I have been using the alternative smoothing treatments and they just don't work like bkts.

Relaxers are so cheap compared to bkts too. I'm a little broke right now so I can't buy the bkt I want right now.

And honestly I felt so pretty with my long(to me at least) bouncy relaxed hair. I don't feel the same about my fro .

So true. I've been natural since 2011 and just started seeing progress when I really started taking care of my hair over the summer.
 
there's usually a stretch where i'm ALL about my hair...just hair hair hair all the time, think about it all the time, touching it all the time, doing something to it all the think...lol

then i get to a point where i just neglect the hayle out of it (poor thing)

...then i regret it for some reason or another and go back to obsessing.

i have such an unhealthy relationship with my hair ((smh))
 
I need to Re-up on Bambu Silicon mix. It works like a dream. Hair is so nice and soft and it smell so yummy.

sent from IPad using LHCF app. POW!
 
I'm going to self relax this time. I've tried it before but I wasn't confident. I've seen enough videos now where I think I can do it myself.
 
Finally found a place to take hair pics; the kitchen table. The lighting seems right. Hopefully it works next time. It seems every time I find a spot, it never works twice in a row.
 
Sick of my natural hair

Sick of humidity

Sick of curls

Sick of breakage and damage from relaxing

Sick of being careful and wearing protective styles

Sick of not coloring

Sick of mail order hair products

Sick of EVERYTHING!
(Except being bald......).

Rant over
 
I remember 2 years ago, I could barely get my hair into 10 braids. Now I can do one low braid on dry hair and fold it into itself.

#longhairdon'tcare :lol:
 
I really like how my hair's been acting lately, so after I hit the gym, I'm going to treat it to a Redken Extreme CAT Protein, Aussie 3 Min Miracle, and Roux 619 Moisturizing Conditioner cowash :) I also have two sulfate-free shampoos and the CON Argan Oil Edge Control to review, so I'll get around to those this weekend!

Also I cant wait for this Salerm 21 Leave In to come in the mail!
 
I'm so excited for my relaxer sat!

It sucks because the way my hair is cut I will be almost apl in the front and a little past .SL in the back.

If nothing else I'm going to enjoy my hair at every stage.
