Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I want to buy a really good lace wig so I can hide my hair for a few months. Im not sure if I should get curly or straight
 
I really need to post some stuff on the exchange board. These HH products, this hot head thingy, various hair supplements...all gotta go.
 
I am tired and I am not going to wear a bonnet or scarf! I need real rest! I am aware of my head all night when I sleep with one of those.

My hair is braided for a braidout though.

I am playing with fire.

I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y
 
I'm in a pretty comfy place with my hair right now... It's feeling like 2014 is going to be a smooth ride.

I did a braidout out and perm rods at the end it looked like i rolled out of the bed and didn't give a crap. i don't get it. when i was like 8 weeks post it came out beautiful. SO said maybe I need to use some foam wrap, apparently he knows more than me, i don't even know how he knows what foam wrap is
 
I gave my hair the Ultimate Wash Day last sunday: Fenugeek Prepoo, Chelate/Shampoo, Reconstructive Treatment,Tea Rinse, Moisturizing DC w/Steam....

And my hair behaved so well this week. It stretched easily, stayed moist and was intensely smooth.

This is one trend that WILL continue.
 
i am soooo hair lazy. i haven't DC'ed in....:look: idk a couple of months. i just have no patience.
and to think before i shaved my head i thought nothing of DC'ing and styling for hours.
i refuse to let my hair take up too much time out of my life this time around.

i really have to testify about paul mitchell super skinny. i straightened my leave out and it is BONE STRAIGHT. i mean, my edges look relaxer straight right now. i'm going to grab the full size bottles when i take the weave out.
 
I fro'd out my hair with the no dryer blowout thing Naptural85 did in one of her vids.

I used the Ouidad double detangler and I LOVE that thing.
 
I can't wait to get out of braids in March and check how much growth I have. I am confused whether my new growth is finally making itself known or if my braids is loosening!!

Don't pay attention to the tracker. It's kind of off. I'm about 11 weeks post.
 
I was watching one of Sera2544's old videos and fell in love with the Ficcare hair clips she wears.

Then I Googled them and saw the price. :perplexed The ones I like are $50 - $54 each. Sadly, we need to replace our leaky water heater this weekend, so I can't justify spending that much for a fancy hair clip right now.

If only I could convince DH there's some health benefit to cold showers. I'd be like, "Sorry about your pneumonia, Dear. But check out my cute updo!" :gorgeous:

I'm not a fan of the CON Argan Oil Strength & Shine mist for my hair, but I'm not sure what to do with the full extra bottle I have lying around :ohwell: hopefully my sister will take it off my hands. I might go back to using my original mixture of just leave-in, water, and oil to moisturize my new growth. I am returning to the CON Argan Oil shampoo though. The slip is incomparable!

Some other positive notes: I love ceramides! :love2: They saved me from what would have been a horrid detangling experience today.

I also had a great experience clarifying my hair. I tried a suggestion from another thread to mix clarifying shampoo, a detangling/moisturizing shampoo, and water together to cleanse the scalp but prevent dryness. I absolutely loved the results!

Taking mental note of what hair supplies I'll want next semester. I want to buy more NTM, claw clips, and an applicator bottle before I had back to campus.

I need to wash this hair and braid or twist it up. I have to say that I really enjoyed swangin my flat ironed hair around :giggle:

So far my hair feels good, my scalp is clean. I wonder where I was all this time... I think I gave up on co washing a long time ago because the first time was a total failure. Monday is the next wash day, hopefully it goes as well as when I co washed on Tuesday. Excited!

Why? Aren't they permanent? Just curious about why you are considering them. I think they are beautiful. You hair is very beautiful too.

HanaKuroi, I'm styled challenged, limited to wash n gos, buns, and flat-ironed hair, two of which I think are hindering my retention. I think sisterlocks are lovely and low on daily maintenance. I haven't made a final decision yet, still up in the air since it will cost me nearly $1,000 to install, lol. I may just do mini twists for a while....
 
I'm already tired of having to take care of my hair, even though I have 6 cornrows right now. I feel like having some box braids or some silky locks? Is that how we call dreadlocks extensions? Anyways. I think I should have the same style for 2 months and go from there. I don't think I can do a weave right now, it's not fun for me not to be able to get to my scalp...
 
If I find a good quality weave for not that expensive, I will reconsider... but I have to leave some hair out, that's the thing smh
 
I need to find a new way to detangle my hair. I think I am breaking a lot of hair unnecessarily by combing it while wet when I wash my hair but this is how I have done it for three years since my hair journey began. My hair doesn't look as dense at the ends and the ends of my braids are pretty thin. It bothers me.
Also this winter has been drying out my skin and hair. I swear I can't keep either of them moisturized beyond half the day.

Hmmm....I also noticed an unnecessary amount of breakage when detangling wet in the shower by hand months ago, so I switch to only detangling/removing shed hair by hand ( no combs) on dry hair coated with oil prior to each wash. Have you ever tried dry detangling?

I bought some neem oil today and added it to my current mix (black castor oil, regular castor oil, cayenne oil, peppermint oil, tea tree oil, aloe vera gel, sulfur 8, and some others I can't remember). IT STANKS, but I'm curious to see how well it works.
 
I went to my friends house today and she marveled at my bun. She kept making comments and finally asked me could she touch it.

I laughed and say yeah and then lean my head over. Do you know she pulled my head up and touched my waves?!

She was so shocked and kept asking about transitioning and was it hard. If she transitions I'm going to loose my mind. Her natural texture is to die for.. kinky and dense just how I like it.
 
My hair just doesn't want to be handled wet at all. It wasn't bad but I am going to start airdying completely with clips and sections.

My hair is twice as thick as last year. I must have had breakage throughout my hair and not just my nape. I see sections that are the same length as my nape.

I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y
