Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

My sister's twist out is so cute. Sadly her hair is still wet. Thick ish only dried like 60%. But I have to blame the client not the stylist (me). She asked me to do her hair late in the day, took me an hour to detangle because she's tender headed and had a sew in for 2 months and she refused to sit under the dryer because she was sleepy. She also broke my shampoo brush that I've had for 3 years, had to whip out the denman. Her hair didn't need any fluffing and only minimal separation. When she gets home from school I'll be putting it into about 8-10 flat twists to reset and get rid of whatever frizz she has when it finally dries. She loved it anyways. :grin:
 
Wasn't in school for 30 seconds before someone asked do I have extentions. I wear my hair curly or put away, don't they know curly hair stretches to unbelievable lengths sometimes. Maybe because I'm black!
 
Yesterday I saw the 16oz "family size" Shea moisture Raw Shea butter line at my local walmart. I did a double-take because I thought it was bodywash or something. I was so excited, but I only use the shampoo in this line. I wish they'd roll out the 16oz for the other masques! It was priced nearly the same as the regular size.

Eta: don't know why the pic is sideways.

Why is it that 40 days have passed and not a single strand of hair has shed? I remember the frustration of losing hair on a daily basis despite low manipulation and careful handling. Now that I've cut all of it off it is not shedding. I am actually waiting for hair to shed so I can measure my natural hair growth rate.
 
I had a dream last night that I got frustrated with my hair and big chopped and hated it. It was pretty cool tho seeing what I would look like with natural hair.

ok! I will pay attention to the ulta emails! I have dropped enough coins on the flat irons I have to not give me what I'm looking for? Are you familiar with this brand? Is it really good? I've watched videos and read reviews, but I wish someone could really break it down for me? How does their hair feel, how many passes, does it snag, how does it handle highly textured hair? Does it smoke? Does it leave a scent on your hair? How does your hair feel a day or two afterwards?

shortdub78 Yes, I'm familiar with the Babyliss Nano Titanium Flat Iron. I like it, but I rarely use direct heat. My last time using this flat iron was on January 21, 2014. My hair felt smooth after using this flat iron. I was able to straighten my relaxed hair in one to two passes. It seems to have a gap in it, like the plates don't fully touch each other when you close the flat iron. I don't like that because it doesn't grip my hair enough to make straightening my roots an easy process. I've seen my hair stylist use it to straighten highly textured hair with ease. Smoking may depends on product usage, but I didn't have any excessive smoking issues. It does not leave a scent on my hair even though that may depend on product usage too. My hair remained straight and smooth until it was time to wash it. Feel free to ask more questions because I know how it feels to want to know more. Also, if you get it from Ulta, you can try it out and if you don't like it, return it.

shortdub78 I have the Nano. Owned it for about ~8yrs maybe? Basically, a long time. Smoking depends on product but there is no smell on my hair. My flat iron jobs are lasting. I rarely flat iron any more but still love my iron. I don't have the gap in the plate issue. I purchased mine from the salon. Amazon or Ulta is where I would purchase now for their generous return policy.

Spongebob I wouldn't even be complaining. I lose way less than the average. I'm convinced it sheds way less straight than curly and I do know the difference between shedding and breakage. Because I shed like one or two hairs a day after I have freshly relaxed. But when I'm curly I shed twenty or less from my whole head after a week
 
I am disliking the fact that the price of certain clays have skyrocketed. I mean I am all out, my usual vendor is out of stock and everyone else seem to want to charge £20+ for half the size I normally get!
Fingers crossed I don't get scammed looking for new sources...
 
i have a date tonight to do a dc/ protein treatment with my hair ..im scared of my hair :blush:as i haven't been taken care of her lately...i keep patting her and caressing her but i know she gonna give me you gon learn today treatment tonight

smdhhhhh:lol::lol::lol::lol::nono:
 
I'm so excited. I booked an appointment for a Deva Cut at Salon Capri. I go in a bout 3 weeks. Now that I'm not just talking about it and I've set a date, it feels like all the pictured that I've looked at are not good enough. I really cannot find anyone who has hair quite like mine. I'm a little weary that I'll pay $130 for something I hate.

My concerns are my different curl patters. At my nape I have tight coils and then as you get higher on my head the curls loosen considerably and then my edges/hairline is basically the same as my nape. Also my hair is so finicky. One day it's be perfect and then the next time I wash it I do the SAME THING (in my mind) but it's not the same result. First time it was soft with movement and the next it feels like hay so I'm hoping that my Stylist, Robin, will show me an amazing formula or something to get the same result every time. And I just hate the shape. I did so cutting on my hair while it was straight and it looks awful.

I'm really nervous. But excited too!
 
Ugh I had this long post and I lost it.

Basically I got an appointment at Salon Capri in ATL and I'm getting a Deva Cut by Robin.
I was looking at pictures and I think I found some that sort of represent what I's like my hair to look like but don't quite represent my curls.

My concerns with my hair are the different curl patterns, shape, and dryness. I hope I can rectify these in my appointment. It's March 20th and I can hardly wait.
 
I feel like a lazy bum right about now. I haven't washed my hair in almost two weeks. I'm seriously thinking about booking an appointment for a wash and rollerset. :perplexed I just don't wanna bother with my hair for some reason. Maybe it's this cold weather.
