Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

So I went from grazing APL at almost 4 years natural, to having an relaxer, and now I am natural again with less than an inch of natural hair. I am going to try Ovation Cell Therapy and sulfur oil and I am going to leave at that for growth aids. Relaxing was way too much for my strands. I thought it would be easier to deal with than my natural hair but it turned out to be a more of an headache and I was losing so much hair! So look like I will be natural for a long time or maybe even forever.

Meritamen were you relaxed prior to being natural for 4 years?

Dc'd with the Moroccan Oil Intense Treatment and I am a little underwhelmed. It gave nice slip, but I did not feel a major difference in hydration.

My V05 conditioner gives about the same slip with the added moisture :look:.

I'll give it the benefit of the doubt...I did try it on dirty hair, maybe it works better on clean hair...but once my sample is finished I probably won't purchase the regular size. If they want up to $30 for a DC it had better work on my hair in any condition it's in :ohwell:

That's too bad spellinto - I saw the jar at someone's house and the ingredients looked yummy so I was hoping someone here would try it and report back. I wonder how it would work on natural hair - you're right tho, for the price and the size, that **** needs to perform, ask you if you'd like it to cook dinner AND offer to wash up after lol!

So the good news is my hair turned out very light. That's pretty much all the good I can say :lol: now for the bad news. It was dry, dry, DRY! I was so surprised you guys. I even made sure to use my super moisturizing conditioner that always ensures I'll get moist hair in the end after I flat iron. Heck, I should have just stopped at air drying because my air dried hair felt sooo soft and smooth...

Now I'm stuck with this mess for a week and have to go into moisture mode :angry2: Ugh. M&S every day, if not twice a day. I'm so annoyed!!
 
I was googling Senegalese twists, because I'm installing some time this week and found this pic:

She's beautiful!!
I realized the feather jewelry she put in her hair is pretty much the same thing as an adjustable ear cuff so I'm on Etsy now placing orders. :look:
 
I finally gave up the jig and reinserted the rows I had removed from my Denman. I'm kinda feeling like an anomaly, I really don't get why everyone does this modification? It was like my hair was swallowing up the brush, the bristles would bend to the hair and wouldn't hold firm. It also took more passes to get it to detangle and to form the curls. So glad to have 7 rows again!
 
I want to braid my hair in extensions for the winter but can't find anyone I trust to do it so I'm considering a self install. But I don't think it will come out looking like I want as I haven't done it before.

I'm in the same place :lol: I was always going to try to do it myself and looked into getting hair then realized wait...what if it looks terrible?? That would be terrible! I'm thinking of getting a pack of hair, doing some practice braids, then see how I like it before fully committing.

I know, I'm like what have I done to deserve this lol. I'm just paranoid they're gonna switch to something nastier that I can't handle.

Pokahontas If that happens and I hope it doesn't
Anyone can complain and flag them as inappropriate etc. or
turn on the parental control blocks you can set them on for Google and YouTube I think even if you're not signed in.
 
I already washed and conditioned my mannequin weeks ago and they are hot combing and flat ironing tightly coiled, dry dirty hair. Mine is swinging and theirs are stiff and dull lol
 
It's me and this other black girl good with the mannequin. Everybody else is ripping through it. I showed one how to start from the bottom and work her way up. She was amazed at how little hair she lost

Oh but don't worry! Watching Chris Rock's 'good hair' should fix that and help them get the education! :rolleyes:

If they don't start actually trying to teach people to do black hair we will start doing it at home instead.

Oh wait, that process has already begun :nono:.

Don't worry about them, get your Reneice on and stack your paper. :lol:

Lilmama1011 how was Vegas?? Maybe I should have asked u in the drunk thread lol

SlimPickinz we was better off staying home. It was freezing. SO and I were suppose to go clubbing but we did not want to dress up and go anywhere because we were shivering. The first night the shows closed early @ 9 when the dude told us 10 but the last chance to enter was 9 smh, well the ones in the hotel and no one wanted to drive. He lost $400 and I won $120. We both was drunk and fell asleep with clothes and I went to sleep with no scarf on and my hair was dry and I don't play with my hair not being moisturized and a scarf And we had to leave Monday so I could go to school on Tuesday. So we was basically there for 1 day and it would have been two but his mom was scared to leave Saturday night because it was so dark.

DoDo they think that if they burn one black mannequin hair doll straight, they can do hair. Gurrrrl one white girl asked this one black girl can she hot comb her hair. She said "F no, you crazy!" I was rolling. I saw the same white girl attempting to round brush another white girl hair with very thick curly hair and she couldn't even get that straight. They think they can just experiment on our hair!
 
Never thought I'd be here. 20 inches of hair!

On another note, I need this CF set to be great. Especially seeing as I could outgrow them in a few months.

I just relaxed my hair after 7 years. I was so tired of fighting with the frizzy halo and poofy ponytails . When my hair was down it looked awesome though .. Sigh.
