Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I bought a denam brush..finally...and I love it!!!! I was sleeping on this for yeeeears. I get it now :yep:.
 
I love my new wig so much that even though it's almost midnight I want to wash and deep condition my hair so I can get it braided and wear the wig to work tomorrow. Depending on how it curls I might go back for another style next weekend.
 
I think i finally like my hair texture the way it is. It was a long and hard journey of acceptance. I wanted that silky 3b/3c hair so bad but now im ok with my spongy kinks and curls
 
I'm so frustrated that I spent all day flag ironing my sisters hair and it poofed up after 5 mins!! What am I missing?! I blow dried, heat protectant and smoothing serum, flat iron on 350-375! And comb chase method
 
My grey hair keeps the weave/wig checks to a minimum. My braid and curl got the hard stare at the gym today until she spotted my grey!

I had the same problem until I figured out that the best, most longlasting straightening hinges on an ultra moisturizing DC session. This thread should prove helpful: http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=431336
 
Browsing through YouTube watching natural hair channels and I'm always so in love with silk press results...I'm so tempted!... but last time I straightened my hair I missed my curls and rewet/washed my hair the next day smh lol..

Working at the salon and doing people's hair and seeing it get done makes your protective styles look like your lazy and don't give a heck. I be feeling so basic at school! But I'm not into direct heat styling

Lilmama1011 Can you jazz things up with some pretty hair accessories or do they frown upon that at your school?

The right accessory can make the plainest style look fab. I was looking at hair forks and hair sticks on Etsy and there's some gorgeous stuff out there.

WYSIWYG We can wear any hair accessorie but just not a head band bigger than 2 inches. I try to switch up my head bands daily. I be at school feeling like crap though. Then when I do my hair now, I don't want my styling to take no more than 10 minutes smh
 
Soooo tired of my hair!! Just want to go to the barber shop and get it cut off. I miss the simple life!

^^Sometimes I wonder why I didn't just go through the twa stage lol (I know why. It's because I was tired of short hair after getting it cut regularly). But now, I do think I would have enjoyed the look and the ease of styling. Hmmm....

moisture level was off. reasons could be:

your products may have contained humectant which pulls moisture from the air.

her hair wasn't completely dry.
 
I get the best braid outs when I air dry. The problem: it takes my hair two days to airdry! I can't leave my house in braids and rods. Sitting under the dryer now hoping my hair will dry in time for me to leave for church. Ugh………………..


I am addicted to conditioner. I bought even more conditioner yesterday. I was right near Oyin so I figured why not pop in to save on shipping. :look: I want to put my stash under my bed but then I'm afraid I'll forget about it. So I put it under the sink with the other 50-11 bottles. But the door doesn't close all the way. I hope no one else notices that. :look:


I trimmed the other day. My ends were FULL of SSKs. FULL!!!! I was SHOCKED! I would hate to have to see that again. I think wash n go styles (incl wash n ponytails) contribute to that greatly. Esp. bc that was all I was doing for months.:ohwell: Now, I'm all about braidouts, roller sets, etc. Anything to manipulate my ends to stay straight and act right!
 
I think Curl Rehab is a repurchase based on how amazing it works with JBCO layered over it. It's meh without oil but that combo works better than anything else. My hair was defined root to tip after rinsing and so soft. I'll only buy it black Friday though
 
My natural hair LOVES VO5 conditioner! I don't have a leave-in that it likes as much so I may just mix the VO5 in some water and use that. The wash-day shrinkage is REAL but it actually looks pretty cute on me :-)

Now I have a few hair products that I don't know what to do with...I may give them away to a shelter or relatives...
 
Did a serious trim but need to cut more. Explains why I've been unhappy with my hair. Going back to basic LOC with plain old water as my leave in.

FINALLY DID IT OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone at the salon stared at me in awe. It was weird but almost more empowering. I still have to live with my ex for the next few days so I have to admit I'm kind of nervous how he will take it but like one of my gfs told me...caring about his opinion is a habit and go away eventually. Personally I like it. Still fresh to get used to after two years but it feels so familiar which is awesome! Here I am at 20 for comparison!! Straight out of college!!

You look so cute and happy! I'm glad it worked out for you.
