Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Quick Question:

When mixing oils with water in a spray bottle to keep hair moisturizer while in a weave, does it matter what oils I use???

The oils I currently have are peppermint, olive, and tea tree oil. Do they mix together?
 
My scalp hurts...my hair is thinning on one side...and I'm noticing a small shinty bald spot in the front.......sighs....time to find a dermatologist :wallbash:

I'm thinking somebody stole my flat iron and if the thief is who I think it is, she has no hair. :lol: Either way, now I'm going to buy an even better, more expensive flat iron. :grin:
 
My hair thrives with a weekly wash and deep condition routine, so I need to make that the priority instead of styling my hair in mini/small twists. I have one more week with these mini twists, then it's on to consistent tlc for my hair.
 
I may have found my summer style. About 30 braids that can be pulled into a bun or ponytail. I can apply my growth aid and leave in in about 5 minutes this way.
 
I was getting gas on the other side of town and saw a Walgreen. hmm I wonder what they have in the "black" Walgreen. Had to stop in because I know it has to be different than my neighborhood. :yep: Nice - Taliaah Waajid, 2 kinds of Shea Moisture, . Elasta QP, Cream of Nature, Karite, and the row kept going and going. And they had this little small section for the "other" stuff. :lol:

I might have to spend a day touring to see whats going on in other stores
 
Hurry up and grow hair. I am getting so hair lazy...I cannot wait until I can throw my hair into a messy bun and be on my way.

I need to do my hair but I don't feel like it! I might just cowash tonight and dc tomorrow and cowash. i do feel like it has been a long time since water touch my hair which has been about 3 days ago.
 
No fair! My grandmothers hair grows so freakin fast. For a few years shed been keeping it cut around apl...i visit her today and notice shes at mbl. What about meeeeee?!
 
Yeah....itd been a little while but not thaaaat long...though today was the first time in a while that i was able to stay more than a few minutes. I think the other times i was in and out so fast i didnt even get to notice her hair.
 
I have to snatch this slipping track out to wash my weave, then find someone to sew it back it for me... but if it looks okay without the track there I will go on with my business and not change it...

Its good to see my hair is actually growing,I'm just a slow grower..I now can say that washing my hair in sections and then twisting my hair in each section with conditioner on it.It takes alot longer in the shower but its for the best..and I guess I was def over due for a trim..Im natural for now and I haven't had any ssks since my trim..phony buns and leaving my hair alone til I move out in my own spot where the lights dont turn off if I use my hooded dryer.
 
Baked all night my friend's house. Just got home and I'm too tired to wash my hair, it's extremely filthy though. :|

I stopped daily cowashing during that 38 wk stretch and now I cowash every 2-3 days. I DC about once a week (protein and moisture). I still whole hair baggy at night and continue to use the sulfur oil on my scalp at night. Although, I haven't always been consistent. I usually hold off on the oil when it gets hot and it's been pretty hot here in atlanta. And oil and a plastic cap just doesn't work for me sometimes. lol.

I am also back to baggied buns. I stopped during the stretch because I didn't want to stress the line of demarcation.

Vites taken now are: Multivitamin, Omega 3, 6, 9 (Fish, Flaxseed, Borage Oil), garlic, MSM, Super B-Complex, NAC and I started back with HSN-W over the past month. I stopped taking biotin because, even with drinking extra water, I was still having breakouts. Tired of having to clear my face of scars.

Hope I answered everything. :yep:

What is your procedure for whole hair baggying? What do you use? Also, what type of sulfur oil do you use?

TIA
 
I think I need a break from this place. There are fonts I actually dislike now. :look: I mentally told one to STFU about 5 minutes ago, another one got a "b!tch, please:rolleyes:" yesterday. :lol:

The only way to keep my sanity is to change up my styles. Problem is I am style challenged. Until I can find a way to get to a stylist (college student in the country with no car =/) I will have to figure something out. I will do four styles per month each lasting 1 week. My only issue is choosing a style that will not need to be touched up or atleast not more than once per week. If I didnt hate artificial hair I would have slapped in a sew in months ago.
 
This place used to be so positive with occasion bickering.

It was popular to post progress pictures in siggies. Not anymore.

People used to just rollerset and bun (not everyone but a lot of people) and that is how they grew their hair long. Now they want to half wig, wig, or weave it. I have been noticing more complaints. More unhappiness over progress or lack of.

I have my theories but I digress.

i agree! and you know i've been here for a long time. i decided to ditch my wig. it made me feel fake and it bothered me that certain folks preferred it over my natural hair. i am just going to enjoy being natural and stop making such a big fuss over it. i rinsed the dc out this morning, added some moisturizer to my twists ,and i am sitting under the dryer now. i will be rockin my own hair today for work!

it's sad that folks can't post their progress pics anymore without someone attacking them. now you have to take glamour shots in order to avoid being attacked.
 
I don't wig! I don't weave! I think it's fine for others, but I feel ... inauthentic. I'm a college professor... I don't think I should be representing anything but the real me. Otherwise I'm not a good example when I talk about accepting others and embracing difference. But sometimes I fear wigging/weaving is the "best" way to get "long" hair!

I am going to try the blowout braidout that I saw Mae (natural chicka) doing.

I have trouble waiting a whole week to wash my hair though. I don't like the "thought" of crap in my hair over a week. I hope that if you use a non-sulfate shampoo, you don't get as much damage from washing more than once a week!
 
Ez combs haven't held up as much as my bootleg ones did!

Gonna Rock my Half Wig don't know it's name plus it is so altered I don't even think I can call it that anymore LOL.

Until I go to the Salon this week. I am still holding down my WL hair, now lets see if I get a growth spurt that I doubt I will have until October. LOL

Looking for a bit of peace in a world of Chaos :) Gotta love life!
 
Went to Sally's to get my clips for the roller set.

Got home and decided to cook a steak instead :look:

Once I eat my steak, I will wash, and DC for the day...or so I plan
 
I really need to take this starting pic for the growt spurt challenge. Not sure why I am procrastinating. I dislike taking length shots. They are so complicated. :tantrum:
 
I didn't even wash this weave last night and I got all the supplies I needed to do it, might do it tonight but if not I'll do it tomorrow.
 
Okay the 3 SE DC's I bought yesterday are going back. Time to start using up the Beauty Supply Store I own in my own home. HUH!!!!!
