Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

These threads that just popped up are scaring the crap out of me. I could never relax again knowing the chance I could be taking every time :nono:. There's no way natural hair could be worse than that!! :blush:
 
Making my own conditioner, herbal infused oils n moisturizing lotion is the best thing that's ever happened to my hair. Thank you Lord for the internet n for the many mixtresses out in the World Wide Web!
 
I organized my bathroom so all my conditioners are now in a single place and all my shampoos are also in a single place and all my makeup is in a single place!
 
I keep putting off flat ironing my hair. Every week I say "next week". I really need to stop procrastinating to that I can trim my hair.

Lank please. I missed it. I'm relaxed and these threads come and go. Life is toxic in general with all that we're exposed to. I figure a relaxer is the least of my worries. :look: ckisland

Natural hair products have led me to make and/or use more natural products for my skin and body. An aloe gel and cornstarch mix for my primer, oils for moisturizers, oils for face cleansing, aloe juice and witch hazel for toners. I plan to make my own body and facial cleansers once my stash runs out, and will make my own detergent soon. But, the one I have not tackled or considered tackling is making my own conditioner or moisturizer because of my fear of not being able to preserve it.

Are there any good sites you can recommend for recipes for textured hair?
 
havana twists (w/marley hair) really helped me retain length overall. however, with these last two cycles, i got lazy with taking care of my hair (spraying it). now I have this serious breakage in the front. it's just one row that goes across. all broken. :cry:

so my plan is to use havana twists to help even out my hair. since my natural length rivals the length of the havana twists, my stylist was able to not add extension to the front part of my hair and just twist it. it blends quite well. she added extensions to the crown and the botton row/nape has no extensions. now, everyday, 2x a day, i moisterize the havana twists with my homemade spray and moisterize and seal my own hair with haitian palma christi. i also oil my scalp (the front part with the breakage) w/this same oil.

this morning, as a routine, i took an applicator bottle and quickly added the oil to my scalp. i thought i massaged the oil in. heck no! when i got my work, i saw what looked like droplets in the front part of my hair! the oil is that heavy. if you don't blend it and massage it in - it just sits there. i was so shocked! i must have looked so weird during my commute! now i know to pay more attention.
 
This was supposed to be here LOL

I've been protective styling awhile. Not for length but because I'm tired of my hair yet I continue to buy stuff that I cant use because I'm in protective styles. I need to do better!

Black Friday, I'm only buying items to make body butters during the winter. Thats it.

divachyk , I PM'd you. I agree that you have to pick your poisons. That's why I choose to not relax or eat HFCS. Those 2 made my "nope not worth it" list :lol:.

I want to try Eden Bodyworks now. When I make it to Walmart, it's going to be ON!! :lachen:

Smoking and a few other things are my nopes yet I'm still exposed because people are not courteous and smoke at the first opportunity possible. My dad was a smoker, rest his soul, so I can talk trash on this topic *disclaimer as I'm not trying to offend anyone*. What's HFCS? High fructose corn syrup? ckisland
 
Feeling better about my progress. Yesterday with my hair all detangled and picked out my hair "presented" at nearly BSL. I am quite amazed :grin: !

My goal has always been to have my hair "present" at bsl/mbl. So, I am getting there!

Smoking is on my no-go list too!! I do freak out a little around smokers because I'm paranoid that they're giving me cancer :look:. Yeah, high fructose corn syrup. I'm not going to be take out by no dang fake sugar!! If something's going to kill me, I'd rather it be red velvet cake, blackened steak, and pancakes :lick: :lachen:!
 
if you give a bad review on a product does that mean you are slandering a company?:ohwell:

I kind of dont want to do reviews anymore

Um. No. It means that for others with similar hair properties to you; you are saving them money.

I didn't see that post from Swift about conditioner substitutions and now I need to make a few changes in my recipes because I normally use e-wax instead of btms in my conditoners. I've been reading about HLB from her blog but now I need to switch my focus to leave-in conditioners.

RavenSR, I like Swift's blog a lot. She gives tons of great info, and it's the site I have learned the most from.

P.S. You can take nearly any lotion recipe and turn it into a conditioner recipe simply by switching out the e-wax for BTMS :-)

I normally use different herbs and add more water to my lotion than my conditioner. The batch of condish I have now works well even though it has e-wax. I'm out of town so I can't make something else. I guess I'll be dc-ing with lotion until I get home in 3 weeks.
