Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Today I ordered a custom kinky straight lace front unit off eBay. After watching 50-11 YouTube videos I feel confidant I can tweak the unit they send, should tweaks be needed :).

: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:

LOL sorry, I wasn't paying attention to skin tone, just the design. Seriously, I'm now looking at the tone and I'm thinking, "Oh... stupid question. :look:" :lol:

Ah okay, I'll try to have a fan on when I do mine near me and I'll try that cold water tip. Thanks!

I'm now getting into nail care. One more question, anything to prevent the nail from being dry and cracked when taking the nail polish off?
 
I did the best rollelrset yesterday (made sure my hair was soaking wet when I rolled each hair) and my hair was beautiful. I then wrapped my hair for bed and today my hair is gorgeous. It's a shame I don't have anywhere to go apart from work in the evening :sad:

You could go to a local BSS just to browse:grin: That's my plan for today...every time I go to my local bss my hair is up or hidden. Today it's out and brushing against my back...:lick:

I might just pop over and see my friend after work and show off the hair :look:
 
Day 4 of my twistout and everything still looks really good. I just finished moisturizing with shea butter, amla oil, and evoo and my hair is unbelievably soft. I am hoping I make it to the weekend with this hair style.

Been lurking in the MBL challenge. I just might join. I have 6 months and I could get 3-4 inches of grown in that time which should land me right at MBL. Hmm...

Just oiled them with JBCO and Peppermint oil, then tied my weave back up. I have to go to my internship to work tonight and its my birthday. SO wanted me to call off but this intern stuff is what I have to do to get college credit. Will flat iron my weave out and wear it tonight.

Happy birthday! Take off, you only live once!

Sorry I'm such a bad influence. LOL

I thought those fingers were your too, until I saw the difference in the nail beds/shape.

But to be honest, my skin tone is pretty much the same as the picture :look: at least on my hands it is. Denial at it's finest..

I use a nail treatment as my base and top coat. That takes care of that real easily.

Your *cough* vitamins should help too :yep:
You just have to take them :look:

:lol:

And soaking your nails and cuticle in olive oil after you trim and file should help too. Just wash your hands real good after to get the oil off or the polish won't adhere good!

Hm okay I'll get on that nail treatment.

Yeah when I was taking them consistently my nails were fine, now that I'm not taking them they're back to chipping. My nails aren't horrible but I'm not satisfied.

Thanks for all the advice, I'll make sure to follow it. I was thinking of soaking my nails in oil too anyway. :grin:
 
Ran out of my usual leave-in...hope my hair likes this Shea Moisture coconut hibiscus leave-in. Fingers crossed.
 
Made a delicious moisturizer

distilled water, Macademia Nut Oil, AVJ, Monoi De Tahiti Oil, Olive Squalene, Lecithin, Walnut Oil, Cetyl Alcohol, Fragrance Oil (Strawberry YUMMMY),Lactic Acid, Silk Amino Acids, Liquid Germall Plus OMGee my hair smells so good.

I caught the guy at the grocery store sniffing me hahahaha
 
Sooooooooo.... it's supposed to rain the rest of this week through Tuesday. I don't know what that means in regards to me flat ironing for my birthday. I may end up flat ironing the back for a length check and wait the rain out. Not sure tho because I have guests coming in town and really want to show off my length. What to do? What to do?

Time for a change. I'm tired of doing twist outs and need some more styling options for my hair, preferably protective styles.

I really and truly love that mani. Any idea what color that is as the "background"? I have For Audrey, but I'm thinking it's too bright to use as the sky....

I was going to do a french manicure on my fingers for my SO (got my toes done like that this weekend -- his favorite design), but that pic is really tempting me to do something else. Is there a blog where you got that? I need to get back up on my nail designs, for real....

Oh yeah, this is HAIR RT. Haha....oh, here's one! When I took that pic in my sig, I joked "if only I could get it to hang like that at 100% dry!" Well, here it is a week later, and I feel like such an idiot for not realizing that running gel through my damp, freshly cowashed hair in medium-sized sections DOES make it hang like that once it dries. Ahh, SL unstretched (WHEN DRY :lol:).....thought I'd never get here.
 
halee_J I get my fragrance oils from elementsbathandbody.com and fromnaturewithlove

Some of me and hubbys favorites are
Mango
Strawberry
Frank N Myrrh (FNWL)

BTW I continue to support these businesses because of the customer service that I have received. If I get piss poor customer service (lotioncrafters/texasnaturalsupply/hotcombs) I choose not to deal with thag particular online vendor.:grin:
 
This has always seemed funny to me. On the boards, people will try to follow a person's reggie (on fotki/youtube/their blog) when the person OBVIOUSLY has really strong/thick and/or fast growing hair and has had long hair all of their life. I've never understood the logic in that. Not saying some of their advice isn't valuable. But c'mon, especially when its simple stuff we already know. Someone will be like, yeah, I DC and roller set my hair every week...and people will act like thats something profound or new or something. Lol, that person just got it like that. If thats all it took for everyone, we'd all have long hair.
