Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

My hair is acting crazy again! Too much stress!! I need to get the heck outta here!!

lol Please DON'T quote the rest of this. Start RANT!

I'm tired of this dang old woman getting upset over nothing and trying to backtrack like ain't **** happened. F that. Yes, you're letting me stay here and I've said thank you wholeheartedly, but I ain't gonna kiss yo a** and worship the ground you walk on. I swear she ain't got nothin' else better to do! Argues and fusses over just about anything! From saying "Hi" to using toilet paper. Ain't like you usin' it wit'cha non-bowel movement-urination havin self! Imma need you to sat yo a$$ down on that throne, then you can be da QUAIN.

/end rant... Woosah... I feel kinda better.

Took me 4.5 hours to put in a set of mini twist but I honestly really like them. I should have stretched them a little more while they were drying but I didn't. I am sitting under the hair dryer now as they are damp. My mother told me that she doesn't like them (kept saying it will look pretty after I take them down for a twistout) and my sister claims I look like a boy. I sent it to a few friends and they said it was fine. I am not going to listen to them!

For some reason as my hair gets longer I seem to get a lot of bad hair advice or silly comments. My best friend told me that buns were a waste of time because I have long hair and I just need to wear it down. Not to mention the fact that she has been ear length for the whole 8 years I have known her. I got this wrap put in my hair that goes down to wsl and I told my mother that my hair should be there within a year. She has no confidence that it will grow that long. I actually cannot wait until it is so I can just swing it.

I want to do styles that can last for 2 weeks because I want to cut down on manipulation. I feel like with all of the frequent brushing/detangling I do to my hair with cowashing it 2-3 times a week is causing my ends to look bad. I am not going to straighten again until about august/sept (might do it once in each month but I am not sure yet) so I can get a really good trim before I go back to school.

I think I am developing a case of hair anorexia. My hair is BSL (or at least touching) but I feel like it is sooo short. Almost to the point to where I felt weird about wearing it out while it was straight bc I thought it looked so bad. I am going to protective style until august and hope that my hair is full BSL by then.

That is so typical. :lachen: I can't tell you how many times that has happened to me, ESPECIALLY among my cousins.

I've already gotten this at SL. The hair stylist said to me ... I would go natural if I had hair like yours. WT? And I know I'm a serious 4 something. :perplexed

I'm going to start taking a poll when people say that dumb mess to me.....what exactly do you think your hair looks like? Have you ever been natural long enough to experiment with it YOURSELF and see what curl pattern you have? Did you put some conditioner on it? :lol:

Can you PM me too.....just 'cause I wanna know :look:
 
i was thinking of taking my twists down next tuesday (21st) and wearing a twist out for the sade concert...but i really think i'm gonna just leave my hair pinned up like this until next weekend.

mostly because i'll want to wash/dc and retwist right away and if i take it out on that day...i wont have time to do all that because i wont get home until around 2am (or later) and i have to work the next day lol. so, no super special hairdos for the concert.

for the most part, ive been leaving the twists in for a week at a time and then washing/dc'ing and retwisting with medium sized twists. i like this regimen. usually with twists, i leave them in for a while (3 or so weeks)...and wash or rinse them in between. i think this works better for me, though. fresh twists every week. i always had trouble with the tangles from washing/rinsing twists so often. i guess not washing in twists and taking them out sooner works better for me.

not a dumb question.

this particular forum is "open" and visible to people who arent members and also those who have a username on the site, but dont have paid subscriptions

they just wont be able to view or use a lot of the other content on this board (like the off topic, entertainment, etc)
 
Why oh Why am I looking like somebody's grandmother with all these foam rollers in my head? I'm going to pay for this in the morning trying to take them all out before work. I hope this won't be a fail. Note to self never try new hair styles during the weekdays.
 
This may be my last rollerset....found some mysteriously short hairs as I was rolling each section. I've gotta step my game up if I'm going to make floor length.
 
Almost fell asleep without putting my hair up or putting oil on my edges... thats a no-no my hair likes to break when it drys.

ugggh! i dunno if im gonna make it until next tuesday with these twists.

not liking how my scalp is feeling right now. it feels gross and it's hot so i'm sweaty and yuck. haha looks like i'm just gonna have to keep my one week rule. no exceptions.

maybe i'll rinse tonight, just to get some of the "yuck" feeling away... and wear a twist out tomorrow and then do an actual wash tomorrow after work...along with an overnight dc, put in ponytails and dry friday and retwist saturday or sunday (depending on my mood). maybe sunday since it'll be fresher & newer for the start of the work week and the concert.
 
It feels so good to wash my hair!!!

My hair fell to the wayside for awhile but it feel good to have water on my scalp again. About to DC with this Silicon Mix and do a length check for June!

@blueberry2118 How in the world does a trained professional pull chunk of hair out of someone's head????? Some of these stylists are just so ridiculously incompetent. :nono:

I am natural. My last relaxer was almost 2 years ago and I did a long transition (no BC). I can't cornrow either, I just wear half wigs (which I make myself) and tuck my hair under in plaits, but as I get more and more hair I really need to learn how to cornrow so my wigs can lay down flat.


The lady who straightens my hair in Atl charges $55 and then $10 for trims and $10 for deep conditioning. She does pretty good with cutting and is not scissor happy.

Yea, it was a horrifying experience. Lucky, my hair grew back and is now catching up with the rest of my hair. Wow.... That a lot of money your spending at a stylist, but if she does an amazing job I say keep her. :)
 
Finally got my new hair in the mail, probably won't get my hair done until Friday! So today I'm going to start preparing for going into my weave. I plan to keep it in from June until the middle of August. I'll get my hair done over when school starts.


Tonight I will shampoo and condition, do a deep conditioner and protein treatment to prepare my hair.
 
I lightened a block of hair in the front with powder bleach and 20 vol. developer. I'm under the Pibbs deep conditioning right now so my hair won't be brittle.

Pitchas to come once I roll & dry!
 
I REALLLLLLLY need to learn how to cornrow my freakin hair. This is just ridiculous. These YT tuts are for the birds. They make it look so easy but the second I attempt it, *POW* hair looks like you just popped open a can of biscuits just exploded on my head.
 
My relax ends just keep breaking! I am only concern when I have to style my hair! I guess I will b rocking more wigs! Other than that the transtion is still going strong. I wear flat twist under my wigs! I don't know how to cornrow and it helps my hair lay down flat!
