Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I soooooo want to hide my hair with braids or a sew in. I play and tug at it too much trying to get it to grow an inch or two :lol: and I need to get some added growth. ***sigh*** but I can't right now. Trying to nurse/pamper my two "hair loss areas" for growth. Going to the derm Tuesday to get that "miracle cure" :lachen:Just kidding - I know better.
 
Cut off the rest of the damaged ends two weeks ago, I have been wearing alot of wash and gos. Recently. I've finally gotten a good regimen after the cut.
 
I do the cross wrap on a fresh relaxer as well. I love it better than the old fashion way & all the excessive breakage. My hair be laaaaiid!!

I wanna be u when I grow up. I cross wrapped a fresh flat iron last night and woke up with a hot mess. I had to touch up my whole head when I woke up. :(
 
Where are you ladies getting your length check shirts from? I officially joined a length challenge and want one when I do my first length check in Jan. Thanks in advance!
 
Its homecoming where I live and the only thing I'm worried about is the braid-out I want to do. SMH I need to go sit in a University parking lot, eat some BBQ and chair twerk, but hair comes first. #Priorities :yep:

Not the chair twerking?! Lol
It's homecoming where I'm from too and I'm so sick of my family bragging about how much fun they are having....shoooot make me sick!!! I'm not visiting home till next month.
I see you are from the dirty south...me too!!! Are you from the GA, FL area? PM me if you are not comfortable answering here.
 
I just realized for the first time in a few years, I am thinking about where I want to be when I enter the new year and what I want to achieve in the new year and hair is not on the list. I guess I have entered a new normal with my hair and taking care of my hair is now a part of regular everyday life.
 
Oh my gosh my scalp is in heaven and my hair is so incredibly bouncy after that treatment + a blowout. I'm totally going back to this salon again.

Also, the suggested me getting a Brazilian blowout instead of a relaxer. Have any of you ladies gotten one before?

I am curious about it. I haven't had one before. What is the process and is it safe from damage?

I'm going to have a consultation to find out more, but the girl there who does them was telling me that it's less damaging than a relaxer because it's not actually permanent. She even said that they can do color and a BKT at the same time, and considering all of the anti-coloring talk that goes along with relaxing, the fact that both can be done safely at once says a lot. Apparently the salon I went to is one of the top ten in my city, and I feel confident in their abilities after today, so it's worth a shot.
 
So I seen my Grandpa for the first time in months (like 7) and the first thing he said is "Your hair don' got so long pooksa". I get all happy and then he ends the conversation with "I'm glad you got out of that bald head stage, yo' head to big for alla' that".

My reaction: ":thud:"........ my head is kind of big though :giggle:

Awwwwwww lol
 
I bought a clipless curling iron, but I'm kind of scared to use it. I'm going to attempt using it when I flat iron and hope that I don't hurt myself.
 
So I am preconditioing with a neem and camomile infused oil mix and the game plan is the wash, deep condition, blow dry and finally flat iron. I want to play with some straight hair for a few days but, man, do I hate going through the process to get it. :(
 
I've been thinking about my hair goals lately. I think I want my twistout to be APL (its full SL now), but with my shrinkage I'd have to be like TBL for that to work. *sigh*
 
My attempt at cross wrapping with a pin curl came out all right...and my hair wasn't excessively manipulated in the process!

i am going to go hard with the protective styling this fall and winter and hopefully my hair will be longish when the hot weater comes around
 
My roommate asked me to trim her ends because they were feeling a little crispy (after she dyed it twice a week for 3 weeks... teased it to death and straighten it JUST to use a curling iron to replica the curls she naturally has)... So i did ... she really needed to chop a good 3-5 inches off.. but i only cut 1 inch off so she doesn't say i chopped all her hair of... she hair frightens me.
 
I was so tempted to try blowing out my hair today. I was like, I'll blow it out as straight as I can today and then I'll buy a flatiron and straighten it in the next 2 days. Whomp Whomp!! I got done washing and put my hair in 2 braids :lol:. I got tried just thinking about having to do all that to my hair. Yeah if I ever decide to wear my hair straight on the regular, I'm going to be hitting up the salon.
 
Had to pay $10 extra at the salon today because of the length of my hair :grin::grin::grin:





It's the little things in life that make me happy :drunk::drunk:
 
My hair is do damaged


It's time to get back to the basics. It's dry & my edges aren't where they should be. Length is fine it's just dry hair time for me to get it all together.
