Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

This Freetress Water wave braiding hair is the worst. Never again!!!!! If this hair wasn't so janky I could keep my protective style in longer.
 
Steaming my ends by putting my hair in Caruso steam rollers.

Also placed an order for NJoy's Sulfur oil. It helps tame my new growth.
 
Trying 2 new techniques during my cowash tonight:
- Sealing in my deep conditioner with a rinse out conditioner and cold water
- Squeezing out excess water and letting my hair dry from being soaking wet (no turbie twist, just pinning my hair up when I step out of the shower)

I'm also due for a trim this month!
 
I miss the good ole days when I would see a natural on the street and not question if that was her real hair :look:. I hate getting my hopes up, only to get closer and see that's not a gorgeous head of hair, it's a lace front :ohwell:.
 
I ain't dealing with this at all right now. It's still on my head tho.:lol:

Think Im about to put in some weave. For the next 12-18 months. :look: Im not sure about what I want to do with it and I would hate to hurt her :yawn:
 
I want Senegalese twist put in once I get some cash and want them in for at least 6 months

2 months at a time with a months break in between
 
My top knot has a braid sticking out of the top at an angle :blush:. It looks like a cherry sitting on top of my head :grin:. I think I am going to leave it like that :reddancer:.
 
I'm really not looking forward to installing these braids along my hair line, i see where this is going to take alot of work and i'm tired right now enough for three days work
 
I really struggled with finding time to cowash this week, mainly because I didnt want to wait in between events for my hair to fully air dry. Last night I finger detangled my hair and finally applied a moisturizing DC, but I got too tired to rinse so I slept with it on overnight. Between work & classes I wont have time to rinse it out & airdry until 5 this afternoon. I heard that could be bad to leave a DC on your hair this long but it's either this or let my hair break off from days of inner dehydration. I'll remember to hit it with my protein spritz once I finally rinse, and I won't be DCing overnight again.
 
Twist n curls are going to be my "get through the cold months" style. I MAY go on a personal no-heat challenge until Xmas. I've never made it through any type of no heat challenge lol.
 
Hmm, I haven't put heat on my hair since...I don't remember when and that's good. I'm thinking of going the rest of the month in a bun, but the only problem is that I need to keep it cute during that time. Just trying to see how much length I can retain during that time. Then I definitely have to trim, because I haven't trimmed in awhile, but I sincerely believe that I was trimming way too often. 4 more weeks and then I will trim and in the mean time maybe I can search and destroy. But my split ends have been greatly reduced because I don't use heat.

My only concern now is making sure I'm gentle when I wear a flat twist..but I'm giving that a rest for the next few weeks anyway.
 
Just ordered a bunch of essential and carrier oils, butters, preservatives, thickening agents, plastic bottles/jars, etc. Going to become a DIY (after my next stash of NaturelleGrow comes in lol)...I definitely see why handcrafted products from vendors are so freaking expensive!

shawnyblazes, where do you live?
 
Saw that lady on Youtube, I don't know if she hangs out here. Her name is Mo Knows hair and she's using 400 degrees to 450 degrees and her hair and clients' hair and they don't experience heat damage. I use 360 often and my hair puffs back up an hours after I finish to flat iron and it looks like a blow out. SMH. I want to give up sometimes but I go higher gradually and flat ironed my hair at 380 last time. The result was meh...ok.
 
Think its time to change some hair related things not going to part my hair down the middle and section it off either side I'm going to do a strip down the middle and then section this strip into 3 sections I saw a few short strands at the crown I'm nipping this in the bud now before it becomes a issue

Second it's time to get a paddle brush to detangle I'm think its better than the denman

And third apohgee protein every 6-8 weeks
 
Started using rogaine for my hairline after researching it and hearing so many positive reviews on it. My derm rec'd it for me last year but I was iffy. But now I'm going to give it a shot. This is my second day with it....I don't expect to see any real results for a few months.

But one thing that intrigued me was that some women were saying that it grew their hair longer all together....one woman stating that she dyes more often because of it.
My main concern is my temples and hairline though. I have other methods of overall growth.
 
This was a week ago but I was slightly annoyed with my friend who tried to give me the third degree about me not trusting salons to do my hair.

Later when I said it takes me two hours to do my hair, the table gasped like it was an extraordinary amount of time.

1. None of Y'alls hair looks that great and the one giving me the third degree had a sew in

2. Sorry but I like it deep condition my hair, that's at least 20 - 30 minutes

3. I've done way more with my hair, style wise then the rest of you!

OK. Rant over.

ETA: Bet even with my pj-ism, I spend less money on hair related expenses. Lol. Really done.

I decided to stop wearing my bangs. I am also going to bun until my next touch up. I am trying to stretch as close to 16 weeks as possible. I am 6 or 7 weeks post now.
 
Why does the media make a big deal when celebrities take out their extensions...Beyoncé, Jenn Hudson, and now Pamela Anderson!

Beyoncé went back to long hair a week later!
