Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Spent time doing these semi-mini twists to find out that I have a photo shoot on Wednesday and they want me to rock my natural hair. Great...just great.
 
As much as I hate that herbally smell and the mess, henna is a staple. It's the only thing that really gets my hair to act right; hair responds so much better to whatever I do to it.
 
Oh how I wish detangling was my friend. She's so mean and snarly and holding my length hostage. Ah well. Time to figure what peace offering to present to get her to be nice to me today. :meditate: :pray: :prettyplease:
 
I was informed by an in-law yesterday that all i have to do to make my 4b hair (afro) look like her 3a hair is to put some Care Free Curl Moisturizer on it and train it to curl. :ohwell: Wow! And to imagine someone went thru all the trouble of inventing the jherri curl process when all 4b's really need is the activator! SMH! I let Jesus take the wheel and left that conversation untouched.
 
I truly look like a head of broccoli today. I put some hair in a bowl of water and it floated. That means my hair is healthy, right?
 
Made one year and decided to straighten my hair afte I blew it out ( Spit End, Mid Shaft Single Strand Knot Galore!!) Ugh.
Well, I trimmed, which didn't help, but got more results from doing the Search and Destroy method. S&D is a pain in the arse, but its soo worth it.

I've fallen out of love with Oyin Handmade's Hair Dew... I used the last of it on my hair yesterday and I'm taking it out now... Dryness, stringiness. This sucks! I'm glad I'm not goin' anywhere today. It still gave me a shiny and pretty look though which is very strange lol. I still no like it.:ohwell:

Aireen I really love the results from henna :yep: been doing it for about a year now, keeps my hair strong, smooth and shiny. I've been slacking lately, just haven't been in the mood for the mess it sometimes makes.

halee_J, I've always wanted to try henna but after a few attempts at buying and being to scared to apply it because it would melt my hair off if it wasn't BAQ henna, I got turned off. How long does the henna process take for you?
 
Aireen, I can speak for Jamila henna, I highly recommend that brand. I usually leave it on for ~2hrs. I used to leave it on longer, but realized its not necessary. Co-washing is the best way to rinse all the henna out which may take as long as 15-20 mins, I apply con, let it sit a few min then rinse. I do this about 4 or 5 times, until the water runs clear. Your hair may feel like you did a strong protein, so be sure to follow up with a nice long DC after i go between 2hrs-o/n.

So, yeah it does take a while like relaxing, but IMO its worth it.
 
I called my self clarifying my hair with Kiehl's Argan Shampoo. It felt odd, so continuing my clarifying process, I rinsed and threw in NTM shampoo. Wth was i thinking? OMG my hair feels flippn stripped and hard! I will be DCing for the next 48 hours. Please don't let me go bald. Please don't let me go bald. Please don't let me go bald.

I ordered my Outre Velvet Remi straight weave online last night from amazon. It should be here in 5 days, & then I will rock that for the summer. Until then I'm in a ponytail & I'm very happy with my length check because I'm so close to BSL I can taste it. Hopefully I'll be there in August.

@halee_J and @Aireen - Henna sounds very tempting. Love the look that all henna heads sport, when it's done right. I'm afraid of the potential drying effects. I've read some henna posts where it just didn't end well for the user. Drying effects and not washing it out good enough are the things that come to mind. Knowing me, I'd be in that statistic. So for now, I'll live vicariously through you, halee_J.
 
Still w/conditioner in my hair-TJ Nourish Spa w/honey and a dash of castor oil. Watching Doctor Who-one of my fav shows. I am surprised there isn't a thread about this show, esp w/all the Brits on this board. Hmmm....maybe they don't watch it.

i really like my new wig. i'm going to get another one soon. it is the Marilyn wig. i had the lace cut off. there is another short wig i wanna get. i think i might rock these for the rest of the year. i like not having to bother with my hair for the week. i am going to make my goal too!
 
i went to the hair salon yesterday. my hair was shoulder length. and i came out with it neck length. lovely.

but it was my big chop, so i can't be mad. and i told the stylist, "it's just hair, it growws back". this is true. but i felt a bit...empty...after my semi-big chop ('big' is relative!) I mean, they were dead ends, and honestly, it should've happened ages ago. but still.

anyway, i just wanted to put it into words and see it in front of me. i'm not counting it as a loss, because they were dead *relaxed* ends, it just hurts to have my little 2 inches gone.


ho hum.
thinking out loud. <3
