Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I was getting frustrated with my hair. Decided to flat iron. I clipped about a 1" to 1.5". My hair looks good now. I'm proud. I went back and grabbed some of my old pics (pre healthy hair) journey to now and I have made progress. Super happy. I thought my growth was stalling, but I guess it just got healthier and a little more full. :)
 
So happy that wash day is finally here. My hair is an oily mess. Adding a little coconut oil to this puff for an unofficial prepoo then off to class. Can't wait to wash when I get home.
 
My hair is still doing so much better with weekly protein and moisture! I seriously don't get any breakage, just shedding unless I decide to use a comb on my several weeks post hair and attempt to comb and I know I shouldn't and it defeats the whole purpose of a protective style. I broke two hairs yesterday from me not following my rule of only combing on damp hair.

Just sprinkled baby powder in my hair and wore a scarf for bed. I swear it's itching a little. Maybe I should have just washed it but it's only three days since I washed and I'm tired.. Sigh
 
Just got a relaxer after about 1 yr and a 1/2 of no relaxer and minimal heat.......my roots are straight but the rest of the hair is curly!! -_- how does this happen? ?
 
^^^
I've read that your roots process faster due to the heat from your head. They say for virgin relaxers you should do your roots last.
 
My rolling salon station is set up. I put all of my unopened butters, conditioners and oils in it and left my opened items in the bathroom under my vanity. I have ALOT of stuff. Jeesh! At least I can see what's already open though and use it.
 
Not sure how I feel about this SM JBCO line...I like the raw shea butter scent better. This masque is missing something I think I'll decide next week how I really feel about it because today I did let it dry in my hair while I was watching Empire. :look: The shampoo was ok, a bit drying but it is a clarifying poo so it can be my once a month shampoo since I'm back to using heavy oils daily. I'll rotate it with the Redken cleansing cream. This line could have smelled...different I guess.
 
I like the way my hair looks when I run my fingers through it as opposed to combing it out with a pick/comb. It looks more natural (with more texture) and doesn't look rigidly polished (in a uniform poof).
 
Okay so I mentioned in helping my mom take down her locs... Like seriously... She's gonna finish taking them down with (at least to begin with) MBL a hair. Her hair is surprisingly healthy and I can't wait to wash it and give her a good deep conditioning treatment and see what we can do with it afterwards.

And just in case I didn't say it before, she has a LOT of hair. Photos just to show YALL what I mean.
Starting photo.

Well... I am back. Cut all my hair off last year. Impatiently waiting for my hair to grow back. Figured I can come here, where no one will shame me for my hair obsession.
 
Someone said some of the biggest natural nazis are frauds. They big chop on Tuesday but look like Diana Ross by Thursday. All bc they rock natural looking weaves.

I had no words.
 
I stayed up until the morning putting twists in my hair on Sunday. I took my twists out this morning. . .
My twistout is less than savoury =_=
 
I have no idea what to do with my hair tomorrow for work. Right now it's in 7 braids under a bonnet and a beanie. Smh. What do I do?
 
I don't care if it take 8 hours to detangle every wash day, this is what I want. Funny how I joined this forum wanting APL. Now it's MBL or die :lachen:

I have always basin washed my hair, so I find it very amusing that so many females pass me in the head in utter confusion as though they've never seen someone wash their hair in a sink.
 
My Q-redew knock off. $19.99 plus 20% off bed/bath/beyond.

Its steam. Its pink. And most importantly its easily returnable if i hate it (which i don't) Super fab :grin:

Thank you! It's taken me years to start loving it, so I'm happy I'm at a place where I really do enjoy my hair. The first time I grew it out I was so obsessed with growth and thinking that "when it got long" I would like it. Well, it got long and I didn't know how to style it, it never looked like other people's pictures and I just got frustrated.

This grow out journey has been much happier for me and I'm glad I spent all of 2014 really experimenting and figuring out what works. I'm excited for the next few years to see how more length will change my hair practices.
