Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Got my Nioxin today. Will wash tomorrow and take some before pics so I can compare after my 90 day supply is done.
 
Got all the components of the Joico K-pak 17 min mineral kit :pulpdance: Can't wait to try it out tomorrow :grin:

Oh and I made it to 9 months post!
 
i found myself almost joining some challenges.
i had to stop myself because i am not consistent with them
i never update my progress (at least not more than twice. haha)

challenges are a thing of the past for me.
 
learning how to apply gel and curl creams to my hair. im loving the experimentation of it all and comparing the different creams and gels i have on hand.
 
Did my first overnight DC. No magic :ohwell: Haven't put any product in my hair because I want to henna later today. On my way to the spa. Let's see what my hair is like later today.
 
I'm in Jamaica at the moment, most of the ladies hair I see is so lush and beautiful. I'll be washing and setting later - I can't wait to feel that soft superior water on my scalp and hair! :love: Not really looking forward to the setting part though. :look:

the water and food in the west indies are so much better. Whenever I go to Trinidad, my hair and skin are so much happier:yep:
 
-I feel like a slavehand. I cant wait to get my perm (yes I know its a relaxer but I like saying perm)
-I think I am switching to the Soft Sheen Carson Optimum Care Line. I was always interested in it and when I found out Michelle Obama uses it, I was sold :look:
-I can finally see where my hair is actually growing back
-BUT if its not where I cant it to be by Christmas Im itching to cut it even though I have never done a major cut. :perplexed:
-Im so glad I quit moisturizing and sealing. I saw not one little piece of hair this week!
-Im really over the avoiding mineral oil and petroleum like the plauge stage.

At the bolded... Me too :yep:, I still use grease, I promise it works better than oils for my hair & I actually mix my oils in my grease too :grin:
 
i'm still on the anti-mineral oil thing. My hair seems to be so much happier without it. Coconut oil is a good substitute for "grease".
 
I like the ORS Edge Control. It actually slicks my edges down. My hair doesn't laugh at it like it does when Elasta QP Glaze. It's making this bun I'm rocking that much better. :yep:

My edges love it (when its first on), but then they get a shine to them & they are back to being a mess. This product doesn't last all day for me. I'm in search of a product for my edges.
 
Eliminating silicone as an ingredient in my product purchases has greatly reduced my wish list. Eliminating mineral oil and petroleum makes it even smaller :ohwell:

At least I won't be buying things and regretting them later. :yep:

MSTatiana, I have tried the Aveda Brillant Anti-humectant Pomade ($20, 2.6oz), ORS Edge Control ($6,2.25 oz), Luster's Renutrients Slick Stick ($7, 2oz), Design Line maximum hold hair wax (can't remember the exact name), and aloe vera gel/shea butter/hair brush. I swear my hair goes from 4c edges, immediately to 4b for a smidge, then to 4a at the top/crown/back of my head, to 3c at my nape. The Design Line product gave me the most and long lasting hold. Unfortunately, I can't remember the exact name, but you can get it from Walmart Smartstyles salons-there are like 7 sculpting waxes, this one is maximum hold w/a consistency similar to ORS edge control. For all products I wet my edges, apply the product, use a baby brush or toothbrush to smooth back the edges, than tie it down with a scarf. The only natural product I listed was the aloe vera gelly/shea butter. I also think it helps when the edges already have a little leave-in condish and moisturizer. I am still learning my hair as I am relatively new to the natural hair game. Hth.
