Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

The moment when you decide to change ingredients in hair products and you become heavy handed when your using up what you got already
 
Going cone Free. Tresemme naturals will be my go to moisture conditioner and we will see about that banana conditioner from the body for being my protein based conditioner.
 
I'm reminiscing about when 5 weeks hit, most was like "it time for a relaxer very soon " shooooo I'm still feeling brand new. This is so easy. 12 weeks isn't so bad either. As long as the new growth is wet or damp or coated with conditioner I'm fine
 
I did my third henna session in ten days. My hair is very silky and shiny. I also cut off 4 inches. I'm BSB now.
 
One of the things I didn't expect when I decided to go natural was the impact it would have on my little sister. She's seven and she loves the fact that I have big hair like her now. Since she's been born my mum, my other sister and I have had a relaxer. And its very rare to see any naturals here. I guess she likes that she isn't the only one now
 
Washing, DCing, rollersetting and flat ironing my hair for my husband's graduation tomorrow. Not an easy task with nearly 21 months of NG. Definitely will be an all day process. I plan to get some braids installed next weekend.
 
I cannot believe an overnight DC with a cheapy condish was all I needed to revive my curls. It looks so different :)

on another note, I still see random straight hairs on my head. I never thought I'd get to a point where straight hairs piss me off.

I used the SD RCA conditioner once before and don't remember being wowed by it. Well I used it again and left it in overnight after an Aphogee 2 step treatment, I now see the wonders of RCA. My hair feels really good! I'm in no rush to M&S.
 
Still trying to decide on which relaxer to use, I'm switching to no lye.......I really don't think my hair like lye relaxers.

I've watched so many youtube videos with relaxer results and still can't decide. I'm liking the results i've seen of Optimum Amla Legend, Creme of Nature Straight from Eden, Creme of Nature Argan Oil Relaxer, Elasta QP Relaxer

Contemplating more hairstyles for the summer. I really want to wear my hair out but without hella breakage. Like a weekend style. My hair is so delicate though I hope I can wear it out a few times without suffering major length setbacks
 
About 16 weeks post. It would have been 32 weeks post if I didn't given up 16 weeks ago. Ugh! It's alright. My transition is better this time around.

Congrats on being 16 weeks post and good luck on your transition. I am 14 weeks post and the struggle is real. What are you doing different this time to manage? I am looking for some tips.

congrats to you, too. I wish I had tips. My hair is working my nerves, but I decided that when it gets on my nerves, I just throw a wig on. Other days, I throw on a bun and call it a day. I don't cowash as much as I used to and I take biotin, though I don't see that my hair is growing any faster than my usual 1/2 inch per month.

Relaxing is no longer an option for me, it's too damaging to my edges. When annoyed, I watch YT videos of transitioners. (Journettowaistlength, Alexxxhes, Jasmine Ghee, taya7588, etc)

I hear ya. I have found that doing everything in sections and detangling every step of they way on wash days helps. It used to feel awkward working in sections but now I get it. I have also found that a mid-week cowash works wonders. These are old tried and true tips that are working for me. Good luck.
 
I would hate doing all this hair!

My blow dryer's motor went out on Monday. I haven't had time to get a replacement and I want to flat iron my hair today. I don't know how I'm gonna do it but my hair will be straight by morning.

It's a new feature. I got an email about it a couple weeks ago. Basically PayPal pays for your purchase up front and then withdrawals it out of your bank account 14 days later. They are supposed to send a reminder before they take your money.

I said it's dangerous because you can buy stuff ahead of time and not have to pay for it for two weeks. That's like two paychecks away lol. I just tried it for my Curlmart purchase. We'll see how it goes.

ETA: you can also pay back paypal before the 14 days is up... If that makes sense.

I wonder what would happen if there wasn't enough or any money to take out of the account 14 days later.

maka72 RCA is wonderful. It is protein free, so I like to hit my hair with a dose of protein before using to get the full effect. I sometimes mix it with a little Shea What (which has hydrolyzed wheat and silk protein) if I do a one step DCing. It smoothes and moisturized my hair, and it smells delicious.

Actually it has been in effect for over a year. I use it frequently. They will remove the funds from your saved form of payment. Any insufficient charges will come from your bank. The feature is not available for all ebay sellers or websites that accept PayPal. You can make a fake cart and get all the way to the payment screen before you find out if pay later is available.
