Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I'm so upset I'm almost in tears. My hair keeps falling out in clumps. I think it's due to my PCOS and stress. But the birth control is suppose to be helping that. Maybe I should do a tea/coffee rinse next wash day. Supposedly the caffeine is a DHT blocker.

I don't know how to help, but I just want to give you a :bighug:
 
I am thinking about chopping again even though I hated it the first time. My hair is in this awkward stage where it's too big for a TWA and too short for some ponytail action...Plus my hair is super coily and shrinks to like an inch when wet.

Sigh..

no don't do that unless you cut it into a style! I stuck to wash and goes with headbands and twists until I was able to do more with my hair. My hair is extremely coily too!

I decided to go natural......again. Or at the very least texlaxed. Bone straight relaxed is not for my hair.

how do you plan on to transition? I'm trying to transition now to texlax. I have about 2-3 inches of texlaxed hair so far. I have been keeping my hair in cornrows and wigging it.
 
So I told my aunt how I could see her thinning hair along with the very thick doubled up tracks on the crown of her head. No closure piece on the weave.

The next day she went back to the same stylist to tell her what I saw and the lady "fixed" it by putting more tracks to fill in the gaps since she was busy with other customers :rollseyes: It was so tragicand cone shaped..

She asked me if it looked any better and I said no, but at least I can't see your scalp anymore. I was accused of hating smh.

I do retwist every night, but not the original 8 flat twists I do to get the style originally. I either do two chunky flat twists straight back (not very neat at all because I'm still getting the hang of flat twists) or two braids (not cornrows because I can't do that yet).
 
I want to wash my hair. But I'm going on vacation on Friday & I should wash my hair Wednesday night. But my hair is dirty :cry: I think I'll just wash, blow dry & flat twist it.
 
I can't stand when you have new growth and your hair starts to look shorter and it has you in the dumps but then you fantasize about relaxing and the real results and you start to get hopeful again
 
Was in Walgreen's trying to make up my mind which SM prods to get and my shopoholic mother left me in the aisle until I made a decision. Why oh why can I not buy them all AND try them at the same time?!

But I'm trying the 3 new ones tonight :look:
 
Undertaking the task of helping my mom comb out her locs... LAWDT. I swear we only get about 5 taken down every 2 hours... Together

::cries::

Nice thing is though, she still has a LOT of hair. Her locs are almost Waist length and the hair she has left is CURRENTLY MBL. She'll probably have to trim it up to about BSL, but I'm gonna make sure her hair is nursed back to excellent strong health. She's so excited lol.

And it's actually been great, just TIRING!

I got mine from a local health food store. Cheap too, about $7. Also instant gratification.

I'll have to check a few near me. It's so irritating that none of their stores have it in stock and it's on backorder online. Can't get Bragg ACV either :sad: Might order on Amazon

aviddiva77 Big hug! I do green tea rinses and they've been helpful. Try garlic supplements, too. I haven't tried topical garlic treatments, but I've heard they help as well.

Thanks!

I have tons of green tea packs. I'll brew some Wednesday and do a rinse before my deep condition.

Hmmm. I have heard of garlic reducing shedding.
 
I feel like folks think it's cool to say they have 4c hair these days. Chicks who barely got 4 hair anything. They say it when they want to talk about how dry their hair is or how they can't get it to curl right. Any other time and they think they are 3b/z/4a/b/bb.....anything but 4c. Yeah ok. It's annoying.

lol

I think it's because their curl pattern is the tightest THEY have seen so they think it's 4c

To paraphrase Paul Mooney,

"Everybody wanna be 4c, but don't nobody wanna be 4c... "
