Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Curlybeauty]

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 ).....thought I'd never get here.

Isn't the mani just great? I love it!

And i'm not too sure about the color. I'm a big essie chic and OPI fiend. I have a couple of CG polishes, but i'm sure if I go to sally and really take a good look, I will find it. And this picture was on tumblr. Really great nail designs on there....

ETA: It's called Sea Spray...

Does anyone remember the moisturizing deep conditioner that everyone raved about here that was supposed to halt protein overload in its tracks? Was it Silk Elements MegaSilk Moisturizing Treatment?

Finished using my splitender gosh I love that thing.

Protein treatment left my hair/ends feeling like hay again! That's it! I don't care how strong they make your hair, I quit those things! My hair was doing just fine without them!

 

[halee_J]

curlyninjagirl did you follow up with a moisture DC?

I'm so sad right now. I haven't looked or even touched my hair in the last 10 days I've been extremely busy. Just got outta the shower with a handful (literally) of hair after detangling, that got me feeling low. Back to looking after my hair again, pre-pooing at the moment with olive+castor oils.

Anyways, @Myjourney2009 Tell me more about split ender? It might be just the thing I need because I'm seeing split ends after 2 months of getting a trim. It could be due to my poor hair care lately but I've always wanted one.

So I unwrapped my hair again this afternoon and it's just so great. It's so silky and I just want swing it about. My hair is looking better than the girl on the relaxer box
The key to this was ensuring that my hair was soaking wet when I rolled each hair up on the roller.

My scalp is usually very itchy by the end of day 2 of wearing twists. Today is day 3 and my scalp feels great. Sulfur 8 might just be the key for me to wear protective styles for weeks at a time.

I am putting together a LHCF blog post about it, just finishing up some minor things. I hope to have it up within the next few days When I have completed it I will tag you.

If you have any more questions after that I will gladly answer them.

No need to be jealous, you will have yours in time. When is it supposed to arrive?

I am remembering the questions you had about the splitender and it prompted me to do a full review of it.

I am going to tag you within a few days when it is complete.

I'm way overdue for henna, but I just can't get myself to do it.... maybe tomorrow.

I really need to start researching hairstyles for my wedding. I have less than 3 months! Man I'm slippin.

Thoughts: Been shedding like a sheep. Methinks its time to use garlic.

If I crank up my sulfur usage, I might actually hit WL at the end of the year.

Lacefronts seem like too much work.

Had the best flat ironing session ever yesterday. Hair straightened in one pass. Had to turn the iron all the way up in order to do it though.

As much as I love my bc, I'm kinda over having short hair now.... time to start using Boundless Tresses...

 

[Nix08]

So I've been wearing my hair out and I think APL is a special length as it took about this length to have me walking around feigning annoyance with my hair getting caught on my purse strap, seat belt, my ice cream cone and the baby's face as I lean down to kiss her...when inside I'm really giddy and excited..

I really need to wash my hair....
All of a sudden I have gotten really heavy handed with product...

My fake denman finally went to pieces this morning...
wondering where I can hunt one down again... or if I should even bother... and just stick to my trusty detangling comb...
Camping this weekend..... no time to wash my hair...

Fake bunning it is where its at...

I will be wearing this bun for the duration and I'm pretty happy about that...

Due to the lack of wrapping my weave last night one of my tracks is slipping ughhh.

 

[Softerlove]

Im going to texlax tomorrow, I have some inches texlaxed already (by accident) but I'm fully commiting to being texlaxed & no longer bone straight...the thickness..

Some of these threads are dangerous. You can be browsing the board minding your own business fully committed to your stash challenge, and along comes that person tempting you to go looking for some product you hadn't even thought about. And then you are searching on line looking for it all over the city.

It's just shameful how some people are.

Uh oh...what are you looking at now???

I've shaken it off. The drive home made me realize someone had cast a spell on me. But the voice kept saying go to CVS and see if they have TW Curly Creme. It's right down the street. Go! Go!

Fortunately I'm lazy and hate stopping after work. So I made it home safely and the mood has passed.

I seem like such a bitty.

But I can't seem to be happy for people who are going natural just because of a fad/trend.

It just irritates me when people blame their lack of growth on relaxers and not their poor hair care practices. There is such a difference...

"Oh relaxers didn't make my hair grow."


If it didn't make your hair grow then what do you call the NEW GROWTH you were relaxing?

Ignorance is truly bliss.

 

[Nix08]

AMEN Curlybeauty!!!

 

[Kurlee]

what;s tw curly creme?

 

[faithVA]

what;s tw curly creme?

Sorry Kurlee, I get lazy at time. It's Taliah Waajid Curl Creme.

My mother came home and told me my twistout was looking like sh&t and my sister cosigned. Although I thought it looked nice I went ahead and washed it out anyway. I am now under the dryer attempting a bantu knot out for the very first time. I skipped my usual DC even though I know I havent had one in almost 2 weeks on monday. I just hope this turns out right bc I will not have time to rewash tomorrow.

 

[Incognitus]

Ladies, I am motivated, motivated, MOTIVATED! I have my AO deep conditioner and plan to use it 1-2x a week. I'm going to start using my MT/OCT 3x a week, and will moisturize & seal daily! I'm on a hair high... So I'm gonna go with it while I'm motivated!

i just bought my daughter some Curly Q's products and i got Jane Carter's leave-in. i really like how my hair felt moisturized all day.
