Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Myjourney2009]

Motions weightless detangling conditioner did nothing for the hair on my head. So I decided to use it to shave my legs and it left them silky smooth. I didnt even need lotion afterward LOL

I found some Lustrasilk Aloe Vera Cholesterol under my bathroom sink and decided to use it. I added some Hot Six Oil to it and my hair feels so soft . I don't know why I stopped using it but I'm definetly adding it back into my regimen.

I should be relaxing sometime next week. I'm not sure when yet though.

 

[Damaged but not out]

I haven't used my essential oils in about 3 weeks and I think they were the cause of my increased shedding...the smells get on my nerves anyway. Back to normal shedding levels for me

Pincurls, pincurls Done with a twist and flat against my head....#winning!!!

Round 2 at the dominican salon. This time I opted just for a rollerset and doobie and skipped them blowing out my roots. I really preferred this method than the root being blown out so more of that ever . When I toook down the wrap at home, I had A LOT of volume so I toned it down with my hot air brush, rewrapped, sat under my soft bonnet dryer or 10 minute and now its perfect! I essentially did my own blowout but with 85% less heat...and pain .

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.

Someone else had recommendied Jane Carter's stuff to me. It is on my list to buy when I start purchasing again. I do have 1 product, the Condition and Sculpt. I don't know why I bought it or what to do with it. I will probably use it for a rollerset at the end of the year.

I hear the Nourish and Shine is good though. I don't have a leave-in so I may check it out. Is it water-based or oil-based? liquid or creamy?

faithVA I know you werent talking to me but the Nourish N Shine is Oil based

Nourish and Shine: Shea butter, Kokum butter, Illippe butter, Mango butter, Vitamins A, D, & E, pear and grapefruit essential oils.

Thanks winona. I am talking to whomever will answer me.

I was actually talking about the leave-in ingredients. I found out it is water based. But I am interested in the Nourish and Shine as well.

Do you use either of those products and how do you like them? I saw a demo with the Nourish and Shine but I think she used a Darcy leave-in.

They have the Jane Carter stuff on sale at Amazon. My pj is trying to sabotage me.

I actually dont use her products but I PJ in me has lead me to making stuff so I dont have to admit that I am spending the bank to my hubby I make a product very similar and it is great for sealing. So I imagine her Nourish N Shine is also great for sealing

I just got a trim, and it was really Just A Trim....I'm almost so giddy, despite loosing 0.5" the most, in some places, of HAM ends.
Came at a good time too, its following a texlax and 9 months of no trimming.

I couldn't wait to get the Corioliss Titanium Flatiron and now I don't want to straighten my hair. How do I justify spending $100 on yet ANOTHER flatiron to my DH? I'd be pretty annoyed if he bought another golf club

I think I want to cut my hair and just maintain it at a length between APL and BSL....I can't find any good pics to take to my stylist.

 

[faithVA]

I don't want to go to the dance workshop this Saturday because I want to stay home and henna my hair. That's said

Can't tell my dance friends that. They will look at me like I'm crazy and I will never hear the end of it.

 

[allmundjoi]

Made an appointment with my hair stylist. I am realizing that the 3 different textures in my head is limiting me to hairstyles and I am finding it difficult to look 'polished'. I may get texlaxed. Idk. These 2nd and 3rd shift hours are killing me.

Whimsy If you google image search long length haircuts, a lot of pics show up...white celebs but still gives you some ideas. I also love Zoe Saldana's hair as well...again straight hair but I think thats how it will be cut correct?

Thanks BillsBackerz67 I want to find a curly pic to show him so he see's what i want my every day style to look like. when straightened i want it to be APL to BSL though, when curly i want some roundness/fullness/layers...not a blunt pyramid...

hard to find...i'll keep googling. thank you...and i love zoe's hair too.

faithVA, can you henna before dance? Put a plastic bag on and a scarf and dance while you are hennaing?

allmundjoi, I won't have enough time before the workshop. Because I know I won't want to get up at 6 am and do anything.

I would need some help with the plastic bag and scarf. My hair isn't long enough to pull back when wet or not straightened and I don't have any idea how I would get it to lay down to look decent with the scarf on it. It probably is possible but can't figure out how to make that work.

Whimsy...Here is what I found. These look closest to your hair type and seem like it would be APL to BSL when straightened. All of them seem slightly layered around the face/front of the head rather than entire head, so when you straighten you wont have that deep V at the nape.

@BillsBackerz67 i love you!!! what did u google to get this. I have a few too, but I love love love the one above. length looks perfect. And i do want to avoid the v in back. It'll be a lot easier to straighten at this length (and i think i'm wanting to go through a straight phase...GULP)

 

[BillsBackerz67]

@Whimsy

I knew you'd like the Rachel True pic. I think thats the perfect cut and length too I think as long as you tell ur stylist to keep the back blunt and start
LONG, BLENDED (this is how you have to emphasize it to them ) layers from the crown and foward you'll have the cut you want

I googled:

Rachel True Curly hair

3C curly hair

Beyonce Curly hair

Beyonce Fro

Kelis Curly Hair

Tracee Ellis Ross Curly hair
