Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

It looks great!
I have NEVER been able to get cross wrapping down, and when I tried regular wrapping I gave up after a few minutes. Too much hair! Do you have any tips shasha8685?

Trini_Chutney The only tip I have is to make sure that your hair is as smoothed down as possible when you cross wrap. Use duck bill clips to hold your hair in place while you pin curl your ends and that's it. The cross wrap vid on YT by Ms. Kibbibi really really REALLY helped me to get this concept down. :yep:

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.

I am definitely considering having one sometime next year once I reach MBL... I just don't want to trade all the work I am putting into growing out my hair just to have a setback. I suppose I will also do research on this more. Thanks for sharing. :)

Appointment with derm tomorrow for my alopecia. :pray: for good news. I am going to request the cortisone shots.
If I don't get better attention and response than I did in February I won't sign up for with this health care plan/system/provider again.
 
i'm gonna make a length check shirt tonight!! But I don't think I'm gonna do a line for every inch. I may just mark where I want my hair to be!!
 
My hair's on the dry side tonight but it's 11:30 and I'm not about to cowash and wait another hour for my hair to fully dry.
 
Trying not to do anything that will permanently alter my hair until after my komaza consultation but they are taking too long to contact me. I want to bleach my hair and I want to texturize. I probably won't bleach but I will texturize by the end of this year.
 
I went back to combing...

If you saw the amount of shed hair building up in my hair...:nono:

Its okay I had no idea how much finger detangling was taking out of me. From now on it is an aid for in between washes. Not a replacement for combing.

I am beginning to fully realize that this my journey and no one else's. There is no such thing as having the perfect regimen if it isnt' perfect for my needs preferences and lifestyle.
 
So QB AOHC is too heavy for my hair strands but my edges and scalp seem to soak it up. I might have to buy a sample size and use it solely for my edges and scalp when I'm in protective styles.

Agree on the not buying products and experimenting. Although lately I ve been enjoying using only my staples products. No surprises, no fuss, no miss.
I used to get excited about new products, but now I am afraid to cause a setback that did not have to happen.

ronie, I've tried a few things here and there but nothing is thrilling me at the moment.

Agree on the excitement on buying new products. But, there is something about knowing what you use will work come rain or shine.

I need to take a hair/skin care/make-up break. I need to get back into my books.

Ogoma, agreed! I remember those struggling days and simply don't miss that.

Especially when you have a blog and really have nothing to report. :lol:

If you aren't buying product= no product reviews

If you aren't experimenting= I'm not gonna post 500 pics of my basic bun

Set reggie= Really boring wash days

shasha8685, what's your blog address? I'm relaxedthairapy.com

I am just reviewing products as I try them. No rush. I'm seriously wondering how will I keep blogging for the long haul.
 
I wake up some days and want a serious change. Like cut my hair off and start over change. You don't have to talk me off the ledge because I don't have enough backbone to move to action and follow through. I'm just rambling as usual.
 
Doing this next. With a smaller bun though.

Ive been ordering via Amazon, JBCO for the longest....then one day I walk into my neighborhood bss and it's sitting on a shelf right in front of my face. THEN the man tells me we've always had it. I dont know why I thought I could only get it on line. *smh* All those waits for nothing...
 
Going on a trip to San Francisco next weekend for my b-day! Excited to do something special with my hair. I'm thinking a braidout.

Only, it's foggy for like 2 of the days I'll be there...including my b-day :(

But it's OK!! :)

I know it may be a longshot, but does anyone know of a frizzproof braidout methods (and product suggestions) that can last maybe...3 days??
