Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Curlybeauty]

I wanted to salvage this set for another week via buns, but I don't think i'm going to make it.

 

[Curlybeauty]

Today was dusting day. LOVE LOVE LOVE how my hair feels after I've snipped all the ends from my twists.

How long is your hair Nonie ?

How long is your hair @Nonie ?

Curlybeauty APL and I'll probably stay there for life since I don't make any effort to use leave-ins, or seal and protect my ends.

simply because I was NOT expecting that answer.

But at least you know what is keeping you, if you ever desire to progress more
What is your regimen? Tell me something

My wasn-n-go today was banging! I almost don't to sleep on my hair tonight for fear of messing it up.

Usually people are so eager to wash their hair after a fresh relaxer to get the "feel" of their hair back, but i'm really holding onto these piss poor curls as long as I can..

Curing myself for not pin curling my hair nightly..grr...

I fell asleep last night with my hair loose and no satin scarf or pillowcase My hair doesn't look as bad as I thought it would, but there are tangles.

I got so irritated after attending a friends birthday party yesterday. I hate when people make your straight out to be so beautiful but look their nose down on your natural hair.

I put in mini twists yesterday. They are the best I have ever done, thanks to Nonie. I saw a thread the day before yesterday where she stated how she rotates and twists. I think I've seen her advice before about it, but was always worried that my already thin and fine hair would look even more sparse doing it this way. However, I was worried for nothing. They actually do look good.

Don't know how long I could keep them in though. I love big hair too much and plus my scalp was already going crazy last night. I did an oil rinse (I used olive, tea tree, and peppermint oil) on my scalp and I still had a case of the itchies last night.

I see I may be digging through some old threads today to see how others have gotten their scalps undercontrol.

 

[pookaloo83]

kandiekj100 that's why I don't wear twists. My scalp gets itchy within 4 days. Then I feel like I have to wash and I don't like to because washing in twists make them look frizzy and they shrink!

 

[kandiekj100]

pookaloo83, I hear you on the frizzies (although I don't mind a little frizz). Though I will say that if you twist the way Nonie does, the shrinkage is minimal.

 

[Bun Mistress]

OK I have to get this off my chest. My hair is pissing me off. I'm tried of buns, I'm tried of briadouts. I'm tried of detangling, the hair halo from side s that won't stay down. I'm tried of hte fact my sides are a completely different texture than the rest of my hair. I'm tried of my afro. I'm tried of transitioning and I'm tried of wet moisturize seal repeat. I just want hair that is low mantanance and my 4B fine strands are anything BUT!

Thank you for listening.

NikkiQ -- ok we need pics so we can compliment you too. Think this one should go in the everyday hair sticky Ms. SL.

this shrinkage is getting on my nerves. my twists look like i have 2-3 inches of hair.

I took down my medium twists on Saturday to wash and condition my hair. I deep conditioned with Lustrasilk Shea Butter Cholesterol. Maybe I should have let it sit on my hair for an hour, but I followed the instructions and did not care for the results. I should have given my scalp at least 3 days of rest before restyling it in twists, but no. I did mini twists on Sunday. I also applied Sulfur 8 hair grease to my scalp. I haven't used grease in over 4 years. I used this product because I have a problem with my scalp getting dry, itchy and flaky after two days and I want to keep my twists in for 2 weeks.

My scalp is sore, but at least it's not itchy. I don't think I can use shampoo for a few months because it's drying my hair. I shampoo with Herbal Essence Totally Twisted. I can see split ends that weren't there last week. My hair is too short to search and destroy. I wanted to wait until November to trim, but I hate seeing these splits. My twists are pretty, and I love my hair in general, but after this weekend I just want to shave my head erplexed. But I can't because my head is too big and funny looking

 

[Nonie]

kandiekj100 and pookaloo83 Maybe you guys should take a chance at going bare. oke:

Just DC well in plaits, undoing one at a time to comb through then braid back to keep hair detangled and from curling back on itself. Rinse same way, then ACV rinse (very diluted ACV). Airdry bare hair in plaits to stretch. Undo one plait at a time and divide into small areas and twist. Once finished, CW by applying condish to dry hair avoiding getting conditioner on scalp (skip about an inch from base) but just focus the half near the ends. Rinse squeezing twists to get it to penetrate. (This step just makes the twists ends look tidier...plus if you let the twists drip dry, they hang better, straighter.)

Keep a spritz handy to dampen the twists if they feel dry or just to get them to hang right. (A recipe I use here). Baggy every night. You'll be surprised at how soft your hair will feel and how itches will not be something you need worry about. I think you guys get itches because your scalp is exposed and products are getting to it easily.

shortdub78, you need to twist like I do.

Alternatively, braid your twists when damp and let them airdry in plaits. It'll stretch them a bit but also give you a cute style (my hair was shoulder length in the pics below--not necessarily Full SL):

I put it in the puff thread, but I'll take another pic for the everyday hair thread lol

 

[Renewed1]

[halee_J]

[Nonie]

halee_J, why can't you?

 

[LifeafterLHCF]

I hope this bun I have on well look professional at my interview tomorrow..I don't want to take it down..

 

[halee_J]

Nonie I feel the make me look juvenile, plus I don't think its kosher for where I work, very conservative environment.

 

[Incognitus]
