Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Last night I detangled with a lot of olive oil but I woke up too late to wash it out. Now I see my mistakes when dealing with my hair in its natural state.

I need to start M&S. I want to use grease though so I need to look at the grease thread. My bun is super smooth even though I barely brushed it.
 
I wonder how long it will take me to make it to BSL once I'm fully natural. I'm hoping 2 years but that might be ambitious...?

I am going to be a colored natural. My hair can handle color, just not relaxers. My hair was at its longest when it was natural and colored. I love color. :lol:

I know I'm over my hair when I been rocking a sock bun for two days after not washing for two weeks, wash my hair, and put it back in the sock bun. Didn't feel like twisting or braiding it for an out style. Takes too long even though it only takes hour. Definitely looking forward to getting it cut.
 
I think it's time to dry shampoo my hair. It has been straight for a week now and it's starting to feel oily. (I haven't used any oils, but when my hair is straight the natural oils travel quickly to the ends)
 
Is it sad that the highlight of my day is going to Target? My brother got me a gift card so I'm gonna get some hair stuff. I think I will get coconut oil, a new leave in and a deep conditioner :yep:

I did shampoo the hair... Could that be it? I didn't know that lol. I'll try the ACV rinse too v

Anywho, another small complaint... I don't know WHY I thing bangs wold be a good idea in summer. I mean I'm definitely cute (lol), by my forehead is HOT! Lol

I need to start strong my life together. The next weave will be a Crly one... With hair OFF my face... By I'll do that in August/September most likely.

how's your scalp?
 
I can't believe I'm going on 5 months post. Longest stretch since I can remember. I kind of want to see just how long I can go before using heat on a regular basis. I really want to see my length come fall. I'd be so happy to be CBL.

I think I'm already sl but my new growth is shrinking my progress.

Still itchy... But I haven't really done anything since posting for full disclosure lol. I plan to use my oil mix tonight... Which is jojoba, tea tree oil, rosemary essential oil and teeny bit of castor oil... I'm gonna see if massaging that on my scalp helps any. I plan to wash probably Saturday/Sunday night so it's just over a full week with the sew in.

But I'll try the ACV rinse. When you use ACV, what mix do you use? And how do you do it? Like Naptural85's method? (If you've seen it)
 
Flat irons are magic! When I get my hair flat ironed it's smooth, shiny, and bouncy and it doesn't revert (except the roots because I workout a lot). I'm almost tempted to get a really good flat iron and learn to do it myself.

But... I'm afraid to try doing it more often and have a setback.

Yeah.... I think I'm going to bow out of this no heat thing. I think I'm just going to blow dry my hair out for the rest of the summer and leave it at that.
 
Man, I was really wanting to wait until tomorrow to do my protein hair masque, but my hair was not having it! I'm soo sleepy :cry3: is there such thing as being moisture sensitive? My hair gets over moisturized very quickly. I might have to pick up some more Giovanni 2chic Brazilian Keratin & Argan Oil condish :lick: I need to extra up my protein for awhile, my curls were kinda droopy today.
 
So I just tried this Loreal Extreme Repair serum for split ends. I kinda like it. The pump has 2 sides and only a tiny bit comes out of each side with each pump. One side us red, the other is clear. The smell is light. It goes on smooth and doesn't weigh my hair down. Houston I think we solved a problem! This will be my serum when my hair is blown out

Tried a twist out again, and I really dont think I will be doing these for awhile. They take so long to take out and I hate how my ends rub together when taking them down. Will definitely just stick to braid outs, I always get big hair the first day I do braid outs and my ends don't rub together.

You could try flat twist outs. Take down time is much quicker. What do you mean when you say your ends rub together, can you elaborate?
 
For the past few months I've been using Suave Daily Clarifying shampoo. When I first tried it, I didn't like it, but now I'm really loving it :3 it really makes my scalp feel great, like I can feel every little trickle of water and every little strand of hair move when I use it lol. Makes my hair feel very light. It gets my hair squeaky clean (literally! :look:), but it feels so soft and and awesome at the same time. Good stuff.

I'm so tired I'm kinda delirious lol. Trying to stay awake long enough so that my hair has a good chance to air dry before I go to bed.
 
Allandra thank you so much!! So I am strongly considering getting a bob haircut this weekend... Did you really love your cut? Did you find it hard to style during the week unless you used heat? Did you ever do braid out styles, how did those turn out? Sorry for so many questions, I just want to make sure I've thought it thru before I make a final decision! I'm between SL and APL so I don't have a TON of hair to cut, but I'm used to the length and being able to pin it up etc. So I'm just wondering how you managed with it.

Thank you!!
 
Opened my last bottle of Tresemme naturals nourishing condish (old formula)

6 months down , 6 months to go. I'm kind of proud. I have never did this much protective styling in my entire time being natural.

9 weeks on and 2 weeks off.
 
I have a hair haul today :-) among my purchases I bought the aphogee pro vitamin leave in. Some parts of my hair were crispity crunchity today (result of bad airdrying) and I ran out of my reg leave in...when I sprayed the aphogee leave in I pleasantly surprised at the amount of slip and moisture! Have my hair in a cross wrap now before I go to work, can't wait to see what my hair looks like when I take it down.
