Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[SuchMagnificent]

I love my daddy. But today he was trying to talk to me about my hair and I almost hung up in his face.
Telling me the reason I may have split ends is because im not using a 2-in-1 shampoo.
Me: Dad I use a deep conditioner to put moisture back into my hair
Him: nah, nah...see the roots and the scalp!.....
Me: (zones out and stops listening)

Im excited about having my hair back. But Im not sure how I will style it going forward. Tireless retwisting isnt reasonable. Im going between ponytail roller setting. Which I was never good at or just washing and big braid outs which looked ok the last time I had my hair out. But winter is coming and my hair never dries.

Bunmistress do you ever do wash n goes? We're doing a winter wash n go challenge. My hair seems to dry faster when it's loose. It seems to dry so much slower when I have attempted to do a braidout or twistout, and my hair is not long enough for me to comfortably wear my twists or braids out in public.

So glad I washed my braids tonight. My scalp feels amazing. And the DC is making my scalp tingle.

Having a love/hate relationship with my hair. Overall I am very glad that I went natural. I think I will love it even more when it gets longer. This TWA stage is awkward for me.

sending you my support. Just know that it's growing everyday and you won't be in this stage forever.

So last night at I witnessed a can I touch your hair moment. I was walking and saw black woman walking she had some beautiful waist length dreadlocks that looked like she had braided together. At the end of the was an older black woman and her grandson. She proceeds to ask the woman with the dreadlocks if she could touch her hair. She let her touch them. I guess you can do or say what you want when your older. Although I was thinking the whole time I hope her hands are clean. I'm sorry I don't want random people touching me or my hair. LOL.

I know some say as your hair gets longer it becomes more time consuming....I disagree, washing and dc'ing takes for me all of 45-1 hr and that's because I let my DC 'marinate' for some time...I feel like being a little above mbl is making things easier...

Yeah, longer hair is easier for me as well. I just use more product than i used to. Styling is also easier bc i just put my hair in a bun. With shorter hair i couldn't do that, esp since i wear my hair curly

 

[oneastrocurlie]

My hair feels so much better after cowashing last night. Won't be trying that product combo again.

Also, I don't like the look of a flat twist out on my tapered cut. I might try a regular twist out.... Maybe.

I forgot I didn't have enough conditioner. I got in the shower to wash it and somehow someway I combined my 5 conditioners to get me just enough. Time for me to replenish my stash

I decided to try Joico's Moisture Recovery Shampoo and Conditioner on a whim. Both are da bomb (do people even say that anymore lol)! The shampoo isn't stripping and actually does provide moisture, and the conditioner is insanely moisturizing. I haven't even made a dent in the bottles (I have the 10.1 oz sizes), but I already want to buy the liters...maybe the treatment bomb too.

I was going to join the challenge, My problem is day 1 - thur whenever, my hair is soft and cottony and I never know what to do unless I use gel which then increases the drying time significantly.

Any ideas???

The conditioner is everything! I also use the treatment balm which is great too. I want to try the shampoo next.

Omg I want to try that conditioner

 

[Coilystep]

Bunmistress have you checked out the thread on the challenge? There are several suggestions/regimens. I sometimes cowash at night then in the morning I get up and put my stylers on and it is usually dries within a couple of hours. If I Cowash and style in the morning it takes a little longer to dry. Either why it's never dripping wet.

 

[Lilmama1011]

I have always wanted to cowash mid week for some reason. I guess I wouldn't deep condition after

You should, you might like it. They sell them at Marshall's and T.J. Max.

Littlemama1011 I co-wash just about everyday. My hair is very moisturized. I workout quite often and I sweat a lot. For me this is what works best for me.

 

[ckisland]

I swear my hair grew overnight!!! Today I feel like my new hair journey is actually beginning

 

[SuchaLady]

Yes Joico is my newest love as well yall. When I like something I go hard aside from shampoo I think I am about to go to salon only products.

I would like to try that one day-- use exclusively salon products. Or at least salon shampoo and conditioner. I wonder if I would notice a difference.


OAN...

Completely random, but I don't know where else to put this lol.

I have a test tomorrow and I haven't even started studying and the chapters are looong, too *wall slide*

Sad news is I had aaaall day to study. I was too busy goofing off on here, playing in my hair, and watching episodes of Arthur on YouTube

I used this idea and changed it slightly. I applied qhemets amla olive heavy cream then lightly misted my hair with SSI Tahitian mist. It worked!

I like!!

[SuchaLady]

[Lilmama1011]

Despite me laying on my hair for several days, I think my pin curls have held up well. Going to be drawn up tomorrow but it's ok, at least they are curls.

SuchaLady Philippians413 it's awesome. I regret phasing it out my regimen. After I'm done with my handmades, I will be returning to commercial shampoos. I think I will stick with handmade conditioners and leave-ins for now.

Had a death in my family and was grieving these past two weeks so my hair has been on the back burner. Had surprising results with 80 cent softee coconut hair grease and hotel sized Organix argan oil conditioner (rinse out and leave in), but now it's time to really take care of my hair again. Monday I will clarify and deep condition for an hour, using "good" products.
