Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I tried the Shea Moisture African Black Soap Balancing condish today and my hair is sooooo stupid soft right now. Smells just like banana flavored Laffy Taffy/banana pudding. Nice slip. I have the purification masque too (finally found some!) I'll probably give it a try tomorrow. I want to try the shampoo from the line as well. Still can't find my anti-breakage masque :/

I think I have the coarsest baby hair ever. My hairline feels like a Brillo pad. I wish the texture on my hairline matched the texture on my nape

my mom and sis have really coarse hair, too. what products are you using/like? my sister's hair eats up Aussie Moist, HE Hello Hydration, lots of protein (she's relaxed). Same with my mom. Basically anything my hair hates, their hair loves lol. Their hair haaates anything Suave (well, I think my mom's hair likes the almond and shea condish).
 
bought vo5 island coconut (or whatever it's called?)...i guess it's a newer one. havent used a vo5 conditioner in a minute...thought i'd get a few again.

hopefully i like this one...i bought 4 bottles of it...thankfully, theyre only a dollar. wont feel as bad if i dont like it lol...has anyone tried it?

Right now still in the CG method and I am using:
  • Jasön 84% Aloe Vera Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner
  • mop Conditioner
  • Nubian Heritage EVOO & Moringa Protein conditioner / 4 Naturals Reconstructor
  • One n Only Hydration Masque (DC)
  • Eco Styler (OV)
  • Curly Curl Souflee
  • Water
  • Coconut oil (sorta...I don't really put oil in my hair cause it makes it really hard ...I really need to find an oil that works for me).

My hair hates hates protein, it loved it when I was relaxed but now that I am natural I only use it if I really need it. I am going to try avocado and egg masque though to see if that might help.

I tried aloe vera gel and it didnt work too great :( good for my skin though.

And Yeah my mom's hair is super fine and my sister's hair is medium. I got coarse hair from my dad (like legit you can see every hair that falls out my head) hahaha. Its just coarse and wiry especially the ends. I don't know why. Sometimes when I put moisturizer and eco styler my length is smooth but my ends are still wack but my hair line is like impossible.
 
^^When their hair is dry it can feel really wiry, too. I might have to look for some of those products for my mom, her hair isn't as particular as my sister's hair. Does your hair like panthenol?
 
I think I went to every website and kept putting things in my cart and taking them out. It was so hard for me to check out. Not sure why. I am happy with what I bought and I going to stop trying to force myself to buy other things. :lol:
 
Finally... I Took out my weave, did a pre poo with my hemp seed oil. Washed the day after with the trader joe's tea tree shampoo and deep conditioned with Aubrey O GDP ( that stuff is in my staple list now, can't believe I waited so long to try it!), detangled, rinsed out, put some sweet ambrosia, TRESemmé heat tamer, the wrapping foam from Jane Carter and sat under the dryer. My blow drying process was easier, used the denman brush to detangle thoroughly. Flat ironed... with 370 degree so my hair didn't get that straight. Cut my ends... mistake. Next time I'll TRY to go to a professional, but I don't even know where to go for that, I don't want my hair burnt.
I know my ends still need to be trimmed... but maybe I don't know.
What do you think?

The entire perimeter of my hair, from the front edges to the nape, is a brillo pad. What's worse is that the hair right above is like 3c/ soft 4a :/ . My edges have ruined many a style, but at least they're full Lol
 
Just saw an Asian woman with extensions at the airport. Her real hair was about SL but her extensions were MBL. I was surprised because most Asian women I know can grow their hair out very quickly and easily.
 
Just another 9 year old Indian girl with a waist length horse rope for hair. It's so beautiful that it doesn't deserve to be called a ponytail. What else is new?
 
Took out my marley twists but I'm still facing the remnants of my curlformer and flat iron binge. I'm going to continue w/ long term protective styles and keep up my trims. Really want my thickness back!
 
My dupe Curlformer was delivered today. The put the value at $5 so I don't have to pay any duty.

If you ever wondered if things you put in/on your hair/scalp can seep into your pores and enter your body, try using henna for an hour or two and watch as your pee turns green, lol. Happens every time.
 
I have to detangle my hair but I dont want to use the old bottle of CTDG and I dont want to open the new jar of CTDG because its new, LOL.

I hate fighting to get the product out of the bottle. I wonder if I can split it open with a knife?

Have you made a conditioning cleanser? I am thinking about mixing my own. I have been using 1/4 castille soap and 3/4 honey mixed with a few drops of bergamot and lemon essential oils as a face wash and my skin has been loving it. I have not had one break out and my skin feels so great when I rinse it off.

I want to mix my own conditioning cleanser and would like your thoughts on the recipe below:
1/8 cup Dr. Bronners baby mild castille soap
1/2 cup of TJ TTT
1/4 cup of honey
1/4 cup oil mix (equal mix of meadow foam seed, fractionated coconut oil, grapeseed, passion fruit seed, and broccoli seed oils)
Few drops of Rosemary, Myrrh, Sweet Orange Essential oil
 
Ogoma, I haven't tried yet to, yet. I just use the conditioner I made as a co-wash, or just use shampoo on my roots only. But your recipe looks good. I had also given thought to adding a bit of Castile soap to some conditioner :-) Let me know how it turns out!
