Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Sharpened my Split Ender blades with a knife sharpener....the replacement blade link on their website is broken and I'm not buying another full set.

What type of knife sharpener are you using? How did you know they needed sharpening.

I need to do the same.
 
I am done with henna. I ran out and did only two sections, it's messy and it's not worth it for that little tint in the sun. I'm done! I'm pissed because I can't go out and get more for the sections
 
Im really liking my hair grease for my ends after applying my leave in. Im gonna continue with this for now. It weighs my hair down a bit but Im bunning so that doesn't matter.

After a long hiatus, I am getting back into caring for my hair a little more. Growth journey is on! I want APL by next Spring!

to be honest I didn't know for sure but I've had them for I think 2 years. I just didn't want them to jack up my hair because they weren't sharp enough. I used this:

Thank you. I haven't used mine that often but I want to sharpen before I do my trim at the end of September.
 
I guess I will henna the back two sections mid week so all of my hair can get the same attention. Other than that I'm done unless something magical happens this time
 
Easy wash today, besides the henna being everywhere in the shower. But with that v05 it went smooth through my hair. I have decide to abandon shampoo and just cowash and use v05 with tea tree oil for cleansing even though I'm using cones. I can't with shampoo. It just rips my hair out. I will only use neutralizing shampoo when I do my relaxers
 
While washing my hair, it felt shorter. I hope it was just the angle on the new growth playing tricks. I can't wait to relax next week. Mid week I will henna my two back parts since that was left out this time. I need to start getting 200g lesson learned
 
Using gud conditioner cherrynova natural softening conditioner. This is the first time I'm using it. It's the 12 0unce bottle and I coat my hair really well. I think I can get two uses. But to tell you the truly I don't expect much from it. It has slip but not like I'm combing it through anyway, I do that before with my v05. I hope it surprises me because I can get it cheap from somewhere and it doesn't have cones so it will be another conditioner I use besides tresemme naturals
 
I hennaed for the first time today.

I pre-mixed my henna on wed night - henna, amla, warm water and let it sit for about 4 hrs, then I popped it in the freezer. Today I added rose water, a marshmallow root/burdock root/fenugreek/irish moss tea, and ayurvedic oil by APB till I got a cake batter consistency.

The henna went on easily, I used relaxer application method and made sure every area was saturated. I steamed for 1 hr, and left it on for 3 more hrs. Rinsed, and now DCing overnight.

Can't wait to see what my hair is like tomorrow.
 
I think I might have been just angry I ran out of henna and said some drastic things. Before it was my two front sections seems to thin out, now it seems the two parts I didn't henna yesterday is thinner than the two front now, idk maybe it's how I parted my hair like I said I can't wait to dust or trim next week after my relaxer
 
When I straighten next I'm gonna trim using that ponytail layering method I see on YouTube. Everyone seems to get good results.
 
Hey mshoneyfly and KinkyRN
(Sorry for the ridiculous lateness, I was in Jamaica and had terrible internet lol)
SO this was my result

P.S.
omggggg I can't believe it took me this long to figure out how to use the uploading feature lol

P.P.S.
And also, I am proud to say that as of Friday 8/29/2014, and my 2.5 inch trim, I AM NOW COMPLETELY NATURAL!!!!!!

I had a dream I was trying out a new trimming technique and I ended up cutting one side all the way up to my ear. I was so mad. I was so relieved when I woke up lol
 
Washed my hair yesterday even though I was instructed not to until my next visit. She said she wanted it to fully loc before I got all wash crazy. But I couldn't help it. I diluted some shampoo and poured it on my head in the shower and massaged my scalp. It was itchy and flaky and I never experience crap like this. But I was told it may come with the territory of starter locs.

Now my hair may be a bit messy, the re twist is gone, the locs a bit fuzzy...but I don't care. My scalp feels like CLEAN, moisturized heaven. YAASS!

Ooooo, I'm telling...... lol
 
I go to school in Whitey McWhiteville so you can imagine my delight when I stumbled across a poster declaring the opening of a new BSS for natural hair in our town. I'm not natural but I could surely benefit. I visited today and met the owner, a friendly, outgoing black woman with her fro in a beautiful braid out. The store had a lot of natural products that our local Sallys did not. It also had a small selection of packaged hair & hair tools. I was just going in to take a sneak peak but I spotted the line of Darcy Botanicals products and ended up buying a leave in. I've heard a lot about these products and jumped at the chance to try them without worrying over s&h costs. There were actually 4 of the same leave in with different fragrances: the coconut and the amber ones smelled too strong, but I didn't want to buy the unscented one, so I decided on the tangy citrus. So far I really like it! I used it on my ends tonight; it did not weigh my freshly relaxed hair down. It seems lighter than my regular leave in, and it made my ends feel soft and detangled. Good first impression.
