Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

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.

winona - Personally, I love natural hair. It can look just as, if not more beautiful than straight hair. Plus I'd probably stare more at someone that is natural since I don't see natural hair the majority of the time. :perplexed
 
So far the things I'm being natural I don't exactly have to do much to it (yet) I'm trying to learn how to braid without creating a whole new set of problems:lol:

I don't bother with trying to flat iron, I don't blow dry. I do wash and goes and or band it. I can now put it in a small pony tail.

One thing I've found is that if I use the quemet heavy cream and put on a headband, my hair gets very straight around the hairline. kewl!:grin:

On to what I don't like. I see more gray arse hairs. Boo. also, the single strand knots. they suck. I think I may have to do box braids at night to help with that.

Redoing the braids... and my hair has gotten noticeably longer. Especially in the front on the sides. I can tell because this has always been a problem spot for me.
Wow :spinning:
 
Nothing like progress to motivate a person to moisturize daily...:grin:
Now I want to dc weekly, moisturize/seal daily, and PS until I reach BSL (even though I have not a clue as to how long it'll take me.

I feel motivated and ready to go! :yay::clapping::wiggle:
 
Sometimes hairstyles look better in my head than on it. This is one of them. :ohwell: Fortunately my coworkers are used to looking at my head looking crazy. Just have to work with it for the rest of the week cuz I'm done with it.
 
I have been rocking a twistout since Saturday. I tried the pineapple method and it actually worked! My twistout on day 3 looks just as good as it did on day 1. I wonder how long this will actually last before I have to wash it out. After this I believe I am going to go back to bunning. I really want to try a bantu knot out but I am afraid. I wonder how long my hair will actually take the dry. I might just try it for the hell of it.

I need to find a job because I want to buy some new things for my hair. I feel like I need new hair toys and some new oils/butters. I want to try a few products but I am happy with my regimen and my hair seems to be thriving so I do not want to cause a setback. I really want to try ceramides to see if they will help with splits.

I do not plan to straighten until the end of August so hopefully I will be past BSL. I really want to post my last update pic asking if I am BSL yet but I am afraid. :hide:
 
I need to find more tuts for outs. regular twist/braid outs are okay, but I'm ready to be brave...a little lol

Might try this pineapple method tonight since I don't plan on retwisting. I know it's gonna look a HAM!

Idk how long your hair is in a twistout (mine shrinks to barely neck length) but I did see a video once on the pineapple method done in sections. Basically you just make several ponytails instead of one which might give the same results. If I find the video I will edit and post.

tmarie90 I've done it this was before and it came out ok. I may try it again. Should I be rewetting my hair in the morning? It was so stretched out looking.

I wouldnt rewet because that would lead to frizz and loss of definition for me. Basically I pineapple at night and in the morning I shake and spread my curls out. Then I take some conditioner and oil and mix it together in my hand and apply it to my hair in sections. Basically to smooth it down and reshape. At night before I pineapple I go through my hair and retwist with conditioner the sections that I feel like are a bit frizzy and in the morning they are just as new. I hope all of this made sense
 
i want to straighten my hair so badly but i cant for a while:cry:

dealing with my hair in its natural state gives me the blues...i still cant figure this ish out.:ohwell:
 
My hair is upsetting me; I feel like its one more thing I cant do right. But let me not get into my feelings at 10:30.

Im really looking into weave for awhile. Im not into artificial hair but what do I have to lose when my real hair tests my patience? I thank God for it though. There is some little girl out there that cant grow hair and here I am complaining because I dont have enough or because mine has an attitude.
 
I tried to pineapple last night woke up sprayed some water and leave in in my hair and completely failed I just put it in a bun

But it wasnt looking all that great before I put it up for the night either
 
Is it just me or is my newgrowth nonexistent when my hair is wet? Like I dont feel any at all but I have relaxed in awhile but around the perimeter where it has began to dry I have like a full afro on my edges! I also cant check my length when my hair is wet. I swear it falls in the same spot everytime. I thought hair appeared longer when wet? My dry hair looks much longer than my wet hair.
 
I'm on business travel and I've starting to believe, if you've seen one BSS, you've pretty much seen them all. I thought my little BSS back home were lacking but now that I've been to several BSS in different states, they all have the same items with little variation.
 
I used a denman brush to distirbute Jamaican Mango & Lime Locking gel through wet hair. I let hair dry into an afro. I sectioned tonight and twisted it. This gel is the color of traffic cones :lachen: but my twists are soft, fluffy, moisturized, NO crunch :yahoo:
 
When my hair is not in twist or braids, I can't seem to keep my hands out of my hair. I am going to flat twist my hair after I cowash it tomorrow. I have also come to the conclusion that in order for me to get my hair flat it needs to be wet. This new growth is hard to lay down with out it being wet and not using a brush. I need to purchase another denman brush. I can 't seem to find it since I moved.
 
I just straighten the 3 hairs on the end of a twist with my nails by mistake. This looks crazy and it's constantly itching my nose. smh
 
Curlybeauty, why is your siggy so distracting and beautiful?! I want to try to duplicate those dandelions. Are those your nails? If so very cute and how do you get China Glaze to co-operate so the polish won't chip off after like 4 hours? :look:

:look: Now I know i'm light, but I ain't white! I found this pic on another site, and I want to recreate it as well.

I have this to die for yellow that is amazing. It's China Glaze, but I never had a problem with it.

I do my mani while i'm under the dryer most times, so that's about an hr and a half right there, and then I dunk my hands in ice cold water after they are dry :yep:

I'm trying to think of What polishes I have to recreate it :drunk:
