Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

@Ogoma, I haven't tried yet to, yet. I Judy 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!

I will attempt it sometime in the new year and will keep you posted. If you try it before I do, please let me know.
 
I'm going to actively grow my hair to waist length in 2014 which means that no excessive trimming, more moisturizing treatments, better scalp care, better food consumption and protective styling. I have been bsl for way too long...hopefully I could make it.
 
I just felt like shouting this out somewhere since my IRL friends and family won't care buutttttt. *drumroll* I relaxed latst night and I'M FULL BSL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:gorgeous:

Yes yes I still need to trim my ends but even when I trim I should still be at full BSL. I'm especially happy because I made MBL pretty quick (about 2 years) into my HHJ but it was the stringiest most chewed up ends MBL you ever saw lol.

I'm going on vacay next month and can't wait to take beach pics with my hair all streaming down my back and ish:look:

If I can stay steady on course I'm hoping I can be full WL by this time next year. My milestones are now:

- Grazing MBL by March
- Full MBL by June or July
- Full WL by December

Oh and because I know how we get down around here, pics included!

eta: poof

I just want to fast forward to June so I can have a Full BSL hair with sexy ends and a twist out to die for. Yes, a twist out to die for, that's my goal lol I will put a lot of effort in perfecting that art :lol::grin::grin::grin:
 
Does anyone have any tips on washing the scalp with braid extensions in? I have hip length braids in and I need to wash my scalp but I don't want the braids to fall out.
 
"You wash your hair too much. You're black and yo hair gon fall out"
"All those products you use is doing too much. Your hair is going to fall all the way out"

They always be the ones with the shortest hair tho.

I had plans to do my hair tonight, but I'm completely worn out so instead I read the weekend hair plans thread && now I'm prepping for bed.

Whenever I'm lazy, but my hair seriously needs doing I pretend like it's not a drawn out process to motivate myself to action. Tonight I'll be content with my reality check, a full nights sleep & a semi-dirty head instead :look:
 
In the last month and a half before our wedding, I neglected my hair (my at home stuff, but kept up my appointments with my stylist so I'm doing well and I'm still on track). Tonight was the first night that I've washed and DC'ed in awhile. Fortunately, the wedding is behind me and I can obsess about my hair again LOL
 
Ladies, I just had an excellent customer service experience with Linda of Pretty Antoinette's.

On BF, I ordered a silk beanie. Yesterday, I was contacted first thing in the morning with an apology that the size I wanted was not available in that style. She wanted to know if I wanted to cancel my order or take a different size.

When I inquired if I could have the same color in another style but in the size I needed; she honored the request at the same discounted price. Please note that one I will receive is more expensive than the one I initially ordered.

Also, her communication style was ultra professional. She just earned a loyal customer. In the future, I'll be ordering beanies in other colors, scarves etc. due to her excellent and prompt customer service.

ilong, I'm happy to hear that. I want her business to THRIVE...we need more vendors that know how to communicate and handle their business.

Lilmama1011 when the holidays are over I'll definitely be picking up some silk scarves from Pretty Antoinette. I'm happy to hear that yours where a good investment.
 
I've been so neglectful with my hair since starting grad school. Now I'm inspired again to get it in the best health possible and treat it better
 
I'm taking on a new regimen as suggested by my stylist. I'm a little apprehensive but mostly excited to see what changes my hair goes through!
 
Naptual85 has my dream hair! Just saw her giveaway video for making 300,000 subbies and wow her hair is gorgeous. I hope my hair grows up to be as thick and long and healthy as hers one of these days.
This reminds me that I need to stop neglecting my body. All the ladies I admire eat right and exercise and it shows in everything from their skin to their hair. Ugh, I just need to get started with a routine.
 
Hair needs to be washed but I don't feel like it

How do you ladies keep your new growth stretched? I want to keep my roots stretched out (without heat) while I'm waiting in between relaxers. My stylist recommended wrapping, but I am looking for alternatives. Suggestions?

Wrapping will break your hair off unless you flat ironed it and don't have kinky hair. But curl formers stretch the root (have to sleep like a princess to preserve the curls though I use to flexi rods and do pig tails at night and take them out and put a banana clip in and every night you can put the two flexi rods in it to have fresh curls every day
 
My teenage nephews were talking about girls *per usual* :rolleyes:

Then they started to talk about what they liked. They finally got on hair and said this....

Nephew 1: They got to have pretty hair man.

Nephew 2: Yes sir! It got to be long too. Like Auntie Mia long....

Nephew 1: RIGHT!

LAWD THAT MADE ME FEEL SO GOOD! Finally my hard work is starting to show *Insert Happy Chair Twerk Here*

Try ponytail rollersets. If my hair was long enough I would it stretches the ng and gives you some curls.

I band my hair to air dry. I'll be 8 months post next week and I still air dry regularly because of this method.
Click to expand...

EnExitStageLeft, Babygrowth: thank you for the advice but I can't band my hair when it's wet because I can't detangle on wet hair (I have high porosity hair). Banding brings me tangles and leaves my hair prone to breakage, plus it takes my hair so long to dry when it's tied up. BUT I do like the idea of maybe wearing ponytails (2+) to bed on dry hair, do you think this would help?
