Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I think this will be the last week with straight hair. I don't like having an occasional broken hair(s) from manipulation of styling hair daily. I like combing once a week

spellinto I do low manipulation styles. I mostly wear curls for a week, braidouts, and twistouts so I don't have unnecessary breakage during daily styling. I Also did box braids with my hair every week and put into a "bun"( did a ponytail and didn't pull it all the way through )so occasional protective style. But I never let my hair get dry most importantly. I moisturize every strand during washing day and seal and every three days I would remoisturize and seal. But everyday I seal especially in curls because that causes less frizz. I'm always conscience about my hair. I never let my hair touch cotton and because my hair stay in curly styles it always hangs above my shoulders so not dragging against my clothes. I think it's my overall regimen

What do you use to moisturizer and seal ?
 
I don't know why I'm sitting here watching Malinda Williams YouTube videos. They are short and to the point & I'm thoroughly enjoying them
 
Gonna head to Sally's and pick up a protein treatment and some shears. Noticed a lil bit of breakage and split ends. Ain't nobody got time for that.

Will continue to refrain from henna-ing for the time being because I wanna wear a couple of my half wigs. At least a couple inches of my hair will match lol. I will miss thee lover..
 
Sometimes I forget I have certain products until I go through my stash smh. I forgot I had BRB Chai Hair Tea. I clarified and now I'm sitting with the hair tea and Milcreek Keratin on my hair under a foil cap. I've been shedding like crazy lately so I needed something to help combat that. I haven't washed my hair in over 2 weeks cause my work schedule coupled with moving has been hectic. I need to get it together.
 
I must stop having SO take my LCD/hair pics because he's never around when I want to upload them. I have pics from months ago that should have been posted!

Eh can't put it totally on him, I see him almost everyday :drunk:

^^These are the ingredients to Mizani Moisturfusion Silk Cream Conditioner, I have always wondered how well it worked, but never purchased because of the ingredients. I decided to try it because it was on clearance at Jcpenney's. I've used it three times, and it is wonderful! I was discriminating big time lol. Now here I am looking online to order the biggest bottle there is.

I want to try the matching shampoo also

I need to stop putting things in unmarked jars and bottles. I go back to it and then I'm scared to put it on my head and end up throwing it away. I need to figure something out.
 
I wonder what oil I will use next. I'm using Africa's best with many natural oils and a nice fragrance but the fragrance isn't natural so. Idk I'm always picking at something
 
I need a moisturizer that works for my hair! Is that too much to ask for?! I don't know whether to use a cream, butter, oil, leave in...I don't know.
 
So i went to Sephora and purchased the Deva Curl Low Poo and Deva Curl Deep Conditioner, and a Wen Spray leave in. I only did this because i am in New York for two weeks and didn't want to pack my good stuff and take up room in my suitcase.

I have every intention on returning everything i bought :look:

I wanted to try all of this line out without committing to it. Don't judge :perplexed

Even though I learn majority of everything from LHCF, I learned a great deal from this site including how to cornrow. http://www.chocolatehairvanillacare.com/?m=1
It's a site created by a mom (Caucasian) who adopted an African American child and it has a lot of great information.

I'm impressed that this White woman knows more about Black children's hairstyles than some Black women (including celebs :look:). The post about cutting hair at a 45 degree angle to keep the curl was informative. I like the kid's twist out.

Sorry I'm just now see this, but I think the no heat thing was doing more harm than good. I'm not sure for some reason when I wear my hair in it's natural state it seems more fragile and breaks easier. And I am tired of finding little knots in my head from where the shed hair wraps around a strand of hair. I do think I am going to just stick to wash and go's.
 
My niece did a perm rod set to my hair over the weekend and told me a truth I really didn't want to hear but knew it was the truth. I have suffered some thinning in my crown area that has ongoing for a while. She said, the thinning is coming from stress and not my last relaxer touch up like I thought. :sad: I have decided to lay off relaxer for a while and I have already started the process of getting rid of the stress in my life.

I will doing perm rods, flexi rod and buns for the rest of the year. My hair will be in protective styles for the remainder of the year.

I stay thinning in my crown. Smh I feel your pain.
 
Allandra thank you! I actually did get my hair cut over the weekend.. I'm getting used to the shorter length; she had to take more in the back to get the angle right, so there are some layers in the back that are one inch (which hurt my feelings lol). Everyone loves it so far but I"m just getting used to it. It's much shorter than the pic I posted; I'll try to post pics in a few minutes.

Here are a couple pics (I blanked my face out)
