Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

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) http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa298/deelishus823/ff325a55-43aa-4a22-bc6b-38d4d9fe65f3_zpsfeafb3a1.jpg http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa298/deelishus823/4333bb42-27e1-4866-8fd4-46b272438513_zps1262d83d.jpg

That cut is nice. Looks pretty and healthy. I wish I could be that bold and cut like that.
 
I saw a picture of me from January 2013 and I was thrilled! My hair has grown so much even with major trims along the way. I don't do progress pics like I should and my hair grows super slow but I am happy to know that I am retaining a good amount even with random chops along the way. I thank God that I am doing something right.

I am going to keep up my flat ironed hair for the summer. I will moisturize like crazy in between flat ironing. Cowash daily and heavy sealing to up my moisture level so that straightening won't be as harmful.

Did you get it cut because you wanted it cut? Thx for sharing the pics, looks good.

Allandra, yes I did! I wanted something different plus I had bun-breakage (breakage in my crown and nape from wearing buns each day). Its a bit shorter than I anticipated but I'm adjusting. :) I'm not fully natural yet so I still have some straight ends to deal with.. this definitely put me closer to fully natural, though. Just deciding how I'm going to handle the grow out, if I'm going to maintain the cut and keep clipping off relaxed ends, or just let it all grow out and chop when I'm ready. :drunk:
 
I'm sitting here with my hair out and I turn my head and feel hair brushing on my back and assuming it my shirt. But Nope it's my hair. My hair seems longer in person than in pictures. I am so proud of my hair. Next week low manipulation styles and occasional protective. I had a little fun with it out for about to be 2 weeks. But I don't want any mechanical damage or care to see my daily shedded hair
 
Lilmama1011 if you don't give it up. Your hair is long :lol: it may not be LHCF long down to your booty but it's long!

The Aussie moist shampoo is very good. I had to shampoo twice because I used way too much oil for my HOT. But it didn't strip my hair the way TJ's spa nourish does. I'm going to dilute the shampoo next time I wash & apply it only to my scalp.

Aww: blush: I might give it a try SlimPickinz but now I don't use shampoo until relaxer time which is every 3 months and clarify with acv rinse once a month. Unless SO gets it
 
Why does it take so long to ship from NY to NJ? Umm, to save on shipping... I can take the train across the dirty water fah my products!

sigh, its not like I can use them right now but so what!
 
I just hit APL! Im not getting too excited cuz I may bust a vein in my head. But omg I'm so happy! FIRST TIME EVER!
 
As long as you've been in business you're still playing that 30-60+ day wait for hair butters game?! Why have this huge "clearance sale" if you didn't have the products on hand? You're no "Spring Chicken" in this business; PayPal dispute sent.
 
I bought some liquid collagen from Ross yesterday. It says to take a tablespoon every night before bedtime. I think it improves the appearance of skin, hair and nails. Some have reported weight loss benefits (I read a bunch of reviews after I bought it). If I like the results I will buy more. Ross always has good stuff

You can go that long?! Mine has been in about a week and a half and although I love the style I'm already like... "Scalp! Where art thou?!"

Girl... Things just keep coming up and I need a full day to take down this sew in and wash this here head!!!! The timing is not in the cards though.

Yeah my stylist does a great construction and base for her weaves so they can last as long as you want.
 
Today, I tried out a new DC. It has nice ingredients, but didn't look like anything special in the container. Even though it applied very nicely, I remained skeptical. However, when I rinsed that bad boy out...whoo wee! My hair felt soft, smooth and ultra moisturized. I just went to the vendor's site and added 4 jars to my cart.:look:
 
I have a child that cannot keep his hands off my stuff! It is so mutha freaking annoying! No matter where I hide it, or how high I put it, he finds it. Either breaks it or loses it. I'm about to freakin' explode! Now something of very high value is missing and I know where I left it, and oh big surprise it's missing and I'd better find it :/ I'm huffing and puffing right now. Now I have to sit here and think, where would a 3 yr old put it UGHHH

Picked up some castor oil today and will be applying to scalp probably every three days. Hair isn't thinning but want to keep it that way along with taking my biotin gummies. Also picked up some new clips so I can use for parking my hair in four because the clips used for rollersetting are to small and I was pulling hair ocassionally.The other one had an exposed opening that caught hair in it. And the third one teeth was deep into my hair and I had to rock it back and forth to get out and not pull out hair. The new ones are huge and very long in length so I will be grabbing nothing but clip hopefully this will be fine
 
Just realized I'm 5 weeks off from my original BC date and now I realize that I cannot big chop ever again. It's too stressful :O
 
Got a blow out two weeks ago that became the death of my natural strands. This B, burnt my hair UP. Now it's breaking all the time. I am so mad about this. Ive done protein treatments to no avail. My daughter said I messed up with I went straight from wash to blow dryer without sitting under the hood first with rollers. She said it was probably more intense heat because it was wet. SO now I pay.

If this is keeps breaking I will do a big chop again as short as I can go....and start over. And them ladies willl NEVER EVER see me and my hair again.

Well.... What is it??? Lol

I'm about a week from my cut appointment. Wish it was tomorrow. I pinned about five pics today to show her how I want it. I almost wanted to pin how I don't want it. Sorry but Kinkycoilly-whatshername when she got her cut was one of the "don't want" pics.

Some of my hair still hasn't reverted from the BKT I got in Sept 2013, even with repeated salt rinses :nono: Looks like I have BC and grow out my hair again. Might have to braid/weave it up until I get to a length where I'll be comfortable with wearing it out.

Stay away from Liquid Keratin Gold BKT :nono: This thing will snatch the hair right from your scalp
