Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I had a dream it was a month before my fall length check and I was so excited that the countdown was on to APL. Then, I woke up...still 3.5 months left. Oh well. Was scheduled to do it the end of September, but may do it earlier than that, might drive home for labor day wknd.

I have not been able to find that Aubrey's protein treatment anywhere, guess I will just have to order it online.
 
I haven't combed my hair in 2 weeks, but now it's time for a cowash. My hair is nappy. I'm 3 weeks from my next relaxer and I have too much new growth for a decent style. I'm not looking forward to detangling.
 
You know you're hair obsessed when...

So I just relocated to the dmv area. And when I first got my job offer some of my first thoughts were..."wow, wonder if I'll run into Kimmaytube at Whole foods or something." And "wonder if I can get an appointment with Reniece". Lol! Such a hot mess.

I really truly want to meet Reniece. >.<
 
My hair doesnt really tangle at SL even when it shrinks. I wonder what APL will bring. Cant wait to find out.
 
Uncle Funky's Daughter gets on my cotton pickin' nerves!!!! They NEVER have coupons and their shipping prices are ridiculous. I could order the products from Sage, but I want a tshirt too!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRR *pebble kicking commences*

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.

halee_J, Henna seems fun to do. All that co-washing would use up a lot of conditioner which would help with my stash! :grin:

@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 :look:to mind. Knowing me, I'd be in that statistic. So for now, I'll live vicariously through you, halee_J.

divachyk, I agree, very tempting! I almost want to go downtown to Lush at Eaton's to buy some. My mother had a bad experience with henna and it's drying effects but I don't know all the details about that so I'm not too scared. I wonder if anyone on LHCF has tried the henna from Lush? I'm not terrified of not washing it out, I know I'll be wasting tons of conditioner and doing at least 5 rinses that I will leave on for at least 5-7 minutes at a time.
 
Anyone have flight travel experience with safeguarding your hair stash? How do you travel with your oils/products, etc? I'm due for my first (business) trip post HHJ and I'm unsure how to pack my hair goodies in my luggage. I don't want the jars busting open and damaging my clothing.

Staple weekly items:
Bee Mine Luscious - moisturizer
Mizani H20 - addresses breakage and ceramide intake
Witch hazel - facial cleanser
Evco - facial moisturizer

I know I can tape down the lids and place them in a freezer bag for extra protection but I'm just a little leery because luggage gets a true beat down during flight transit. Ideas?
 
Only a moth post relaxer & my NG is coming in very thick & curly. I'm hoping twistouts will carry me through the next month.
 
I've said this all over the place in challenges I remember signing up for but I've made MBL! WOOHOOOOO! :grin: :party: I won't be officially claiming it until my next relaxer because my bangs and sides need that time to progress towards where the back is. So happy! I still feel like SL though but I'm getting tons of compliments about my hair so it's cool. :grin: If I find an open HL 2012 challenge, I'll consider entering! My goal has not changed though... I still think WL is my official goal but that challenge is closed to enter officially for 2012. :sad:

Do the taping and plastic bags, and I always roll my stuff in between my clothing as a way to buffer it and keep it snug, and no moving anywhere.

Luggage gets a beating, but not anything like what you are expecting. If you stuff comes out a mess, you got a cousin from up in here checking for your stuff :lol:
 
Okay so I used the Victoria Secret So Sexy Nourish conditioner to moisturize yesterday (I just had to try the new purchased product out) and it's just well, aight...nothing to write home about. I swear my hair is cone phobic but my hair doesn't seem too dried out by it. The scent, well it's okay but isn't lingering for days like some indicated. The scent is still in my hair but it isn't so loud that it's driving the dh wild. I was expecting him to jump my bones as soon as he got a whiff of my hair. I smell a store return in the near future.
 
LOL so I'm one of those people that doesn't proof-read their posts. If I'm not careful I make common spelling mistakes like spelling course instead of coarse in my blog. I don't see the big deal though, just make sure you're not making the same mistakes in your own blog. Plus if everything else is fine, what's one little, harmless spelling mistake? Meh nuh care nah, I don't see the point in getting all upset over someone else's errors in their own blog. :giggle: With that said, yes I'm one of those people that does sometimes write hear instead of hair carelessly. Just a warning if you decide to click my link below and you're anal about grammar to the utmost degree for whatever reason! :giggle: :grin:

If you can find a conditioner that has a loud, attracting scent — let me know! I like when people hug me and my hair smells pungent, in a good way. :lol:
 
Geez I have to be even MORE gentle when detangling now. I now truly see the need for washing in twists and braids etc...

blueberry2118 You know what, I did, but I'm not as pressed anymore. Now I am sloooowly getting to know my own hair better so hopefully I won't have to depend on stylists much at all one day.

Plus, in my past experiences, there just aren't very many people who are good with MY hair. I don't know what it is about my hair but I've been to some of the supposedly best stylists and its rare to find someone who understands my hair (I have left salons near tears looking a hot mess while everyone else but me left the salon with fly pretty hair). I really did not think my hair type was that uncommon or difficult to handle but I guess it is. So sometimes I wonder if Reniece, tho she is supposedly the bomb, would understand my hair. Right now I have a stylist back in Atl thats pretty good with my hair and I will just go to her when I visit home.
