Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Have not even started my wash day. If my twists weren't so raggedy I would let them rock for another week

*First post* yay!

I'm wondering if I'm not sensitive to glycerin in the winter or if the whole thing is a myth. I've been using the cantu curling custard as a styler whose second ingredient is glycerin and I've been getting the best wash n gos of my life.
 
I have to keep telling myself not to try any new products. I know what works. No new styles. I have had consistent results so I don't need to mess stuff up!

I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y
 
I'm in the home stretch of making this hot glue u part wig. I'm trying to do an invisible part to close up the wig, and I know the little bit of track I have won't do both sides of the part. I don't want to buy another pack of hair, but would it be "wrong" to do one side as an invisible part and the other side regularly?

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.

You are going to get so excited you are going to do her hair hair on top of doing yours! Showing pics on lhcf of your work and whenever she wants to comb her own hair talking about "are you sure you ready for that?"

lol...I hope she does come to the "natural" side, we have cookies here :grin::grin:.
 
I had an airdrying mishap on Friday and even though my strands are tangled and soft, my hair still feels greasy from product overload. If my hair still feels greasy tomorrow, I will simply rinse my hair with water in the shower and see if that helps.

I think that airdrying/detangling experience jolted the health of my ends and crown. I am noticing more short hairs at the very top of my head (frizz or breakage?) and my ends look a little prickly to me. Maybe it will all look better tomorrow.
 
Crisis averted! I had just enough hair to finish both sides. I wish there had been enough for a closure, but oh well. I'm done for the night. I'll add combs, cut and style later this week.

GIRLLLL HOW YOU KNOW?! DoDo

Her texture is so pretty. She once wore braids and year straight and when she removed them and ask me to press it I like to lost my ever loving mind. I begged her not to relax it, but she did anyway. Its still very pretty, but I loves me some natural 4b.....I can't help it.

HanaKuroi i did dc and it was fine for about four days and i saw it was shedding less but it seems like it starting again. i think I'm over manipulating my hair because I'm seeing breakage as well or I'm not use to seeing my shedded hair or manipulating it because i usually wear only curls and im combing daily i don't know what's wrong. I'm tired of curls but i think that is what's best. i think im going to clarify tonight and deep condition with my new kera minerals deep conditioner and put flexi rods in

Why are you clarifying? If your hair is dry it will only make it even drier. Can't u just dc again?

Has anyone tried the Shea moisture coconut hibiscus mist on their new growth? I keep eyeing it in Walgreens but the price is...:look:

I know because that would be me with my friends if I had the time!

Keep doing what you are doing though, the best way to convince her is to showcase what our texture looks like with tender loving care.

Real talk I had no clue my hair could look like this until I started seriously caring for it and I did not spend my childhood relaxed. I was no stranger to how kinky my texture was. However I was a stranger to it's versatility softness and natural beauty. Show her and she will see. It was a 4b friend of mine who would gently suggest I stop using neglected box braids as a beauty crutch and she had gorgeous 4b hair. It was the thickest hair I have ever seen in my life! At least three times thicker than my hair...:spinning:! So she was an amazing spokesmodel for natural hair!

I am telling you keep rolling up on her like...:gorgeous: and she will want to go :afro: in no time!

it's not dry, just breaking and shedding a little more than normal. i moisturize twice daily and seal, i don't have dry problems at all HanaKuroi
 
I am really scared I am going to to back to boston and my hair is going to act up again. I asked my mom if she could just send me a gallon of well water. Lol.

I am hoping its the Taliah Waajid as well but I am really thinkin its the water in my apartment thats makin my hair werid, my hair is so soft and going on day 3 my curls are all still intact and bouncy.
 
Usually when I moisturize my new growth, I either spray a leave in or just fluff through my roots with moisturizer. Today I moisturized deliberately by parting sections, spreading moisturizer between my fingers, and applying directly to the roots. I think I actually like moisturizing NG this way because I know my curls and my line of demarcation was tended to. It takes a little bit more time, but it's not as lengthy of an ordeal as I thought it would be. I'm experiencing a little breakage from the back of my head, so it was great to give it the direct attention it needs.
 
That Demetria girl from Blood Sweat and Heels has some gorgeous hair. I am only washing the show to see her hair. Just freaking amazing. When is someone going to interview her about her regimen?
