Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

When I come out of this weave I am not sure what I want to do.

I haven't flat ironed my hair all year and I'm kinda interested in seeing where I am... But another part of me wants to to get a braided style... Another part of me wants to do mini twists, another part of me wants a tapered cut...

I'm just ::spins::

Indecisive might be the word for it lol.
 
Mango butter?? Any thoughts ladies? I'm interested in making a butter for my skin for the winter & I want to know who uses mango butter on their hair and/or bodies.

I made a butter using mango, cocoa, and shea butter. I liked it, it's not too greasy and it moisturizes well. I haven't tried it on my hair though.

Saludable84 - I hope you don't go natural unless it's what you want to do. Your hair in your pictures is gorgeous! Which brand of relaxer do you use? I texlax and use Mizani for sensitive scalp (lye) relaxer, but I like how your straightened hair is sleek with sheen.

i was just trying to straighten the front a bit but it didn't take. I use linange and i like that it doesn't over process but i think i might be really under processed. I don't want to switch relaxers again though as i like this one. Im gonna give it time
 
I'm seriously considering buying the SM Manuka honey shampoo and Masque along with the purification mask. I like that they donate 10% to great causes and my pj self hasn't hauled in a long time.
 
I'm finally grazing MBL *happy dance*. My longest layer is about a half inch passed my bra strap. I won't claim for a few months though, maybe January? I don't like to claim until I'm well passed the grazing stage.
 
My curls are holding up. Let me find out this changed Dean offers some great hold. I can't really complain about the cones when foam styling mostly has them and I have been using them and offers heat protection even though I don't use heat to style mostly
 
I also need to pic up two boxes of henna, one box isn't enough anymore: grin: they need to be consistent with their companies because it's always different ones. 100% henna. Buy different companies and I don't like that
 
I can't believe I went out of town without my staple conditioner. I use it as my leave in for wash n go's which are all I'm prepared to do this trip! I also left my flaxseeds & I'm out of my fsg :'( Who was I kidding??? I'm contemplating a late night run to Walmart/Walgreens/CVS. Because I cannot be looking crazy. Kicking myself because I KNOW I won't find my conditioner here... And I'd be highly surprised to score some flaxseeds. Just great.

I think you should make that run!
 
If our haie is constantly shedding, how does the thickness remain the same? I had a golf ball sized hair ball from yesterday's wash/detangle session and it had only been 2 weeks since my last wash. Should I be concerned?

Do you detangle between washes? People generally shed 50-100 hairs per day. So if you haven't detangled for two week I wouldn't worry to much. Are you natural or relaxed? I noticed that when I was relaxed since I only washed every two weeks the hair I lost was very noticeable. Now that I'm natural I wet my hair daily and I don't have very much shedding I would say no more than 50 hairs probably less. Are you noticing any thinning?

New hair is also constantly growing in when the old hair sheds. For two weeks and with the length of your hair I'm not sure you should be concerned. If you see visible signs of thinness then be concerned.

I don't detangle between washes. I keep my hair in braids and when I leave the house I wear a wig. I am natural and I think all the coils and curves make one strand look like several. The longer it gets, the bigger the hairball gets I guess :look:

I haven't noticed any thinning, but there is some noticeable breakage from my last salon visit so the ends are tapered now instead of blunt.
 
Prettymetty I would think between the length of your hair and the amount of time between washes and that you keep it braided up would contribute to the amount of hair you losing on wash day. It's a cumulative effect. I don't think you should be Worried if you aren't noticing any thinning. Now if you do begin to experience thinning you may want to short time between wetting your hair. Another thing I've noticed is that co washing has been a help to my over hair health I do not use shampoo. My hair feels very moisturized which I think helps with detangling. I also never ever dry comb my hair.
 
^^I'm loving my twists too. They are extremely low maintenance. I'm so glad I opened up to having a stylist. My hair has turned around. It's nice to have hair that's already “done" all the time.
