Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Not sure if I'm renewing once this subscription is up. I wrote this site over 2 months ago and have been completely & utterly ignored. Not one comment in response yet they have had no problem accepting my money for the past 3 yrs. poor customer service. If I don't feel valued as a customer, I won't waste my money again.
 
My hair is frizzy this morning!! I have a full sew in with a little leave out and you can clearly see my hair because it is frizzy and the weave is straight. I refuse to put heat on it today so frizzy I will be. Is there anything I can use to avoid this in the future after flat ironing?

You're talking about LHCF? Yeah customer service is not their forte. Could eventually be the downfall of this site if it doesn't improve.

since giving up brushes and combs so not brushing my edges daily etc they have grown with a vengeance. they look kinda dumb laid down and messy/fluffy left alone also pleasenosideburns.
 
Sigh. I took my hair down this morning from my satin scarf and knew immediately that something was wrong. My hair felt like I hadn't put a drop of moisture in it! It was super dry and really rigid, not flexible at all. I had to spritz my hair with water and slather on moisturizer & oil just to get it to feel normal again. I'm styling my hair in a bun today to retain moisture. Thank God I don't have a bunch of NG yet, maybe I can figure things out before it starts to grow in. I will master air drying soon!

I think it's bc some parts of my hair (like the back, which was the driest) weren't 100% dry when I crosswrapped. This weekend when I cowash, I will try bunning and see how that works. I'm also going to try detangling on damp hair instead of dry, so that when it sets it will air dry smooth and tangle-free.

I need to moisturize and seal tonight. I haven't sealed since Friday... My hair hangs on to moisture for dear life so I don't really have to use a lot of product. I'm going to spritz it with aloe juice and seal with evoo

yes! I can't tell you how many times I just wanted a response and never got one. I doubt I'm renewing but I have 18 months to go *sucks teeth* I do love the site. I guess I'd better get all my tidbits now.
 
You know you have a problem when you have a unopened, still in the box flat iron you didn't even know you bought until your mom found it while cleaning...

Well... Let's see if I straighten more often now lol.

Probably not considering I already have a flat iron... That I barely use. At least this one is titanium and not ceramic like the other one...

::look::
 
Yesterday a co worker told me, I liked your hair better last week. I had on a wig from the BSS last week and this week I have a weave lol. I liked the wig too but hate the feeling that it may be shifting or someone may just snatch it off. Good to know I can wear wigs as an alternative though without any suspicion. She has no idea about black hair, wigs, weaves, etc so I just said thank you and went about my business.
 
Ya know, sometimes I feel a little left out when people at work are talking about leaving early to go get their hair done and I'm just like :look: with my braid out lol
 
I've been embracing my natural hair and I am growing to love it. There have been a couple of times where I thought about wearing a wig, but I am rocking my twa with pride. I don't want to hide my hair with weaves/wigs/braids. I want to learn about it and make it work for me. I know it's weird to talk about my natural hair in this way, but it's very empowering to walk around with my kinks and curls. Right now I don't intend to use any weaves/wigs/braids during my journey. It seems like a lot of naturals do that. That tune may change once I get some growth. We will see.

since went fully natural I cut down on how much I go to salon. I'm only going once a month now. I used to go every two weeks. I'm treating it as a treat to myself. Although this past Saturday I went for monthly visit got a wash deep condition and steam which I thoroughly enjoyed. I felt I do a better with styling my wash n go. I was pretty ambivalent about the result of the way she styled it. I didn't want her to be ruff but I felt she could have brush it with the denman brush a little hard. If that makes since.

Glad you're feeling more comfortable. I love seeing other naturals in real life. I was in CVS the other day and the cashier(she was natural) came over a started talking to me about being natural and products. That never happened when I was relaxed. I love the since of community.

Hair came out sad-looking this morning. Dented, dry, & rigid. Had to slather it with moisturizer & oil again, especially at the roots. Definitely cowashing tonight. Also going to continue practice my cross wrap.

I haven't been since my last relaxer, two years ago. I kinda miss it, I was an every two weeks girl too. I would love to find a stylist who does a great job, but I don't even feel like taking the time to research and go to consultations right now. If anyone is going to even potentially damage my hair, it's going to be myself lol
 
why do I keep checking my hair is growing the average rate.Llike i'm just waiting to have a slow growing spurt so I can be miserable about it lol I need to keep my hands out of my hair.

I really want to find a nice salon that will give me a good shampoo massage, deep treatment/steam and let me slap a scarf on my damp head and walk out, or should I say one that I would feel comfortable doing that in. I would go once a month. I love the feeling of other people doing my hair, except for the styling part.

It is some styles I refuse to do because of possible damage. Like I have a good length of hair but I refuse to do a donut style bun. Those donut buns are porous plastic that pulls out your hair. My friend hair is way shorter and she did a bun and I was super jealous about why can't I. Well a month later her hair was ripped out and she couldn't do a bun anymore. She had too much tension and said her hair kept catching on to it. I'm glad I know better

Good to hear :)

I know a couple new naturals who keep rotating out braids and weaves but then get discouraged when it comes to doing their natural hair because they won't take the time to learn it, practice some techniques, etc.

They don't call it a journey for nothing.
