Gosh, I love BRB Chair Hair Tea!
I used it for the second time today. I was able to finger detangle with absolutely no issues and lost about 10 (yes, 10!) hairs in my entire wash session.
Yay for a product that actually does what it claims to do!
 
Can't decide what to do to my hair to get it ready for this hectic week ahead of me so I'm just going to take a nap. Really wish I had a wig to throw on. Well I did have one but I think it got thrown out when I was cleaning and packing up my house :sad: Guess I'll be adding new wig to my "to buy" list.
 
That moment when your hair is so well-detangled that you can untwist your twists [starting from the roots] with one smooth motion.

I love my hair right now!
 
Back in mini braids for the past couple of weeks. I feel like I'm at home. Been straightening a lot this fall. It's time to PS a little more.
 
Everybody has sent shipping notifications except Vitacost and CurlMart. I also can't track my packages. Should I be worried?
 
Was gonna wash my hair tonight but decided last minute I didn't want to spend half the night doing my hair. So I shall put it off for tomorrow. Netflix marathon instead tonight!
 
This weekend I'm going to have to do a style that is pulled back because we are doing facials and I'm not having that stuff all in my hair. It's crazy how your life really dictates your hairstyle

I'm in the awkward stage now. My hair is out of the cute twa stage but too short to bun without breakage.
Ugh, I'm seriously considering relaxing and starting over as a long term transitioner.

I know how you feel. Im at the same stage right now. I love my natural hair but i can imagine what people say about my appearance at this length so i just have fun with wigs and other styles that mask my true hair for now. Hang in there it will get better remember you went natural for a reason.
 
I got my first post-BC compliment today!!! :grin: She totally caught me off guard, but was very sweet. Asked me what I used on my hair because it looked so soft. I felt a little bad saying cocoa butter, but it was true :lol:. I've been only using homemade mixes for the past week :lick:
 
My cousin and I were at the mall the other day, both in twistouts. A lady stopped us and asked us how do we get our hair like that. As we were explaining, I saw the hand reach out (it was like it was in slow motion ), and fondle my cousins hair, then to mine. O.o She stopped when I made a face. I never had a complete stranger touch my hair before. I give family and very close friends a pass because it is usually a loving gesture, but strangers? Nope, unacceptable.

I was also very insulted when she told me that "Only educated black girls wear their hair natural!" Uh....so if I decided to relax tomorrow, then my three degrees won't matter and I would instantly appear ignorant? Get out of here!

I ignore it every time someone in Chocolate City (DMV) says she saw some hair care or black makeup items at a store.

I consider NYC, DMV, and ATL the “Mecca, Medina & Shangri La of natural hair". These areas always have the latest/geatest products & techniques.

Using LHCF via smartphone. Can't see mentions.

She is ignorant & I can't believe she touched your hair.



But anyway I'm thinking about braiding my hair today

Oh hellllllll no. I would've thumped her right in the middle of her forehead. Don't touch me. Then I would've thumped her for that stupid comment. Smh I swear people in 2015 are going to start losing fingers. Don't. Touch. My. Hair.
 
Said I would post pictures earlier but my trip to the barber's got postponed...

Anyway, here's my new look :-)

My hair has felt a lot better since abandoning braid extension hair marley and kakelon.
The downside is that I feel limited in my styling and capabilities as a 4b-4c natural my hair is still not quite ponytail ready
 
I love my Moma, I really do. But if she calls me one more time asking me how to/when to/where to about hair products AFTER I done told her 50-11 times, I'm going to scream! I've started putting instructions in emails for her to refer back to but nope that's too much for Moma.

On the upside, her hair has definitely improved. Thanks IDareT'sHair for your help in getting Moma together. You better hope she doesn't start coming on LHCF because you might be in trouble. Lol.

I have a box of semi-perm hair dye on my bathroom counter right now. But its black so now I'm like :spinning: I don't know if thats the color I want anymore... and I've never dyed my hair before

I'm just over this dusty brown color my hair is right now. It looks dry even when it isn't. Dark hair almost always has a healthier look to me

veesweets - my hair is black (ish) and stays dusty looking no matter how moisturized and oiled it is. Is that brown your natural colour? Is your hair actually dry or does it just look dry? If it just looks dry but actually isn't dry, maybe buy a shine serum or get a clear cellophane gloss or sth. Dyeing your hair might solve the aesthetic issue but could then cause a whole host of others: affecting your porosity, cause breakage etc. Just hoping to make you stop and think for a second is all.

It looks dry even when it isn't :perplexed I did think about doing a clear rinse instead but I need to do more research on that. My hair has always been this color so I think I also just want a change.

I'm going to purchase some marley hair or a wig this week. I need to pause and think about all of this like you said.
