Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

This Bajaj Almond Drops oil is amazing. I could note a moisturizing effect within minutes. Very perfumey, though, but it's not as smelly as other Indian oils. Going to do a deep conditioning with it and Aussie Moist,Keratin Oil and Argan Conditioner by Organix and a little Baba de Caracol in it.

Reading about all these new techniques and products is making it very hard for me to stay on my "Keep It Simple Shawty" hair regimen. Must. Resist. Bandwagons!

I've only had there braids in for 2 weeks and I'm already ready to take them out. I miss my hair!

The main reason I don't do protective styles. I miss my curls after like 2 days. Don't know how I managed to deal with buns since August. I guess because I could still see my curls.
 
I'm really annoyed with USPS' shipping. The last few packages that I've had that has been shipped with them have taken FOREVER.
Right now, they're holding my Oyin products hostage with their slow shipping. Jamyla sent the package out Monday morning (I ordered Sunday night) via Priority 2-day. It JUST made it to the nearest PO, even though they said that it would be delivered today (although, by definition, it should have been delivered yesterday).

THIS is why I always choose UPS/FedEx when I can. :nono:
 
I ordered a Black Friday box from CurlBox (I was really disappointed with it, it had stuff I could've bought from the BSS. Olive oil Moisturizer and that Edge Control ), but there was a gem of a conditioner from Blended Cutie called Tug Me Not. I'm in like :grin: I told myself I wasn't going to fall in like with any other specialty hair products because of that whole thing with ReVé Essentials (I have commitment issues now. My feelings are still hurt, I miss those products) but TMN might make me reconsider, with its delicious-smelling, velvety feeling goodness.

Were those the items your boyfriend ordered for your birthday? Did you see the receipt?

If the items were ordered I would contact the companies. I'm sure they would resend your stuff!
 
Lilmama1011 you have to use the clips that slide closed.

I have a beautiful clip that closes like the one you have and that sht popped open on me multiple time & it ripped out hair from my nape.

toaster yes. I contacted hot head and they just told me to give him the order number. He said he could of sworn he took a screen shot but he didn't have it. For the steamer, they never sent him an email at all or confirmation of payment. I understand the steamer but I side eyed him about that hot head. Like where is the freaking email. But he said he seriously order it and why would he lie....
 
I can't wait to have the balls to style my hair. I am super corny with it and my relaxer is still fresh and I'm just roller setting and wearing it out for two days and then putting it in a clip and it doesn't look stylish. Looks like I didn't feel like doing my hair
 
Hoping this new Reggie will aid in me retaining length and health. My hair is so fine, so with braiding cornrows in, I see I have to be extra extra gentle to avoid breakage. I think I will use my conditioning detangling spray to help next time. I need to get some more mizani milk bath, but it's a little pricey and I still got some Christmas shopping left to do. I may get some creme of nature straight from Eden shampoo to hold me down. You definitely have to clarify after awhile using that one. Need to oil my edges and scalp in the crown area.

Hate having to rub in the SM curl enhancing smoothie. I don't have to do this with KCNT ughhh

The trick is to stir it first. I stir the whole jar for a few seconds with a clean plastic spoon every time I open a new jar. It makes the product creamier and it spreads better, more like a lotion that a thick pudding. You only need to do it once and it stays that way.
 
I'm on a no buy until I use up some of these deep conditioners. If I run out of clay is the only thing I can buy.

Or items for the new years giveaway. Thats it.

I have flax seed in there if I run out of gel. I need to make a list of products I reallllly love. I've noticed I don't need a leave in and I don't use oil unless I need to prepoo my stretched hair or get shed hair out of an extended protective style.

I hear that. I've got 4 conditioners on the way. And I'm not even close to finishing up any I already have. I calling mine the H*ll No Buy. Lol.
 
I always cringe when other Black women talk about how long their is or was and it's really just barely scraping their shoulders. It's sad to me in 2014 (with all of the resources available to learn how to take care of our hair properly) that so many people still consider that long. It's also sad that some non-Blacks are so used to seeing us with short hair that THEY think that that's long on Black women. I just thought of this because one of my colleagues/friends got a barely shoulder-length weave (to simulate her formerly "long hair") and a bunch of white colleagues were oohing and aahing over her suddenly "long hair." It's a good-looking weave, but long it is not.
I can't wait for the day when it's common to see Black women with full APL or longer hair (unless they WANT it shorter) and it not be seen as an anomaly.

ETA: I love my friend to death, but she DEFINITELY has the mindset that Black women can't/don't grow really long hair. I told her recently that I wanted to grow 6 more inches of hair (I'm APL) and she just gives me a look and says "good luck with that" as if it's wishful thinking. To her, I'm already way outside of the "norm" so getting to MBL or waistlength is a silly thought. That's sad.

I was surprised at the texture of PBN Cupuacu Hair Butter. I thought it would be a solid balm. It's a foam; like whipped cream in a spray can.

Using LHCF via smartphone. Can't see mentions.
