Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Meritamen]

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

Put those suckas on the ignore list. I love that feature and have a few folks on there now because I was tired of rolling my eyes so much.

I tried that once. Well I mostly use Ispy unless I'm mentioned and their posts still show up there and people quote alot so...

I'm trying out As I Am samples....
I am using the curl clarity shampoo, dehydration elation, leave-in, and twist defining cream for a twist out.

Finally got the hang of air drying my hair and decided I would flat iron my roots (7 weeks post). I didn't like the look, I liked my air dried look better. No plans on flat ironing again any time soon.

i'm gonna put the rest of up my hair up. i had the front of my hair pinned up and left the back hanging down. i'm gonna put the back up.

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 would also love to hear your theories please. I used to lurk on lhcf years ago, but became active at the end of 2010. I do notice a change in atmosphere.

You can "ignore" people on a forum? Boy do I feel slow...

What is Ispy? .......yeah, I'm a bit behind....

Yep, just go into "User CP" then under "Settings & Options" click "Edit Ignore List." Once there you will be able to add or delete names of people you want to ignore. Once added their posts, avatar and siggy will not be viewable to you anymore but if another person quotes their post you will be able to see that. So It's not fool proof but pretty close.

iSpy is a feature that you can easily find right under the site banner. It is like a super fast auto update version of the "New Posts." It automatically updates whenever a new post is made anywhere on the site. I completely forgot about it until nappystorm brought it up. lol

You should lurk in the longer haired threads. Much less drama going on in there and plenty of hair to drool over. I have ventured out into some of the other sections of this forum and ended up with a headache. erplexed

May I ask what's wrong with having other options as a means of protective styling/low manipulation? I bought a wig the other day so that I can stay out of my hair this summer. Normally, I just bun and go; but, I wanted other options to avoid heat. I'm a long-term transitioner. I don't want to bc anytime soon.

Got my Silicon Mix on my head, with a cap, and a turbie twist.

Cleaning out my garage with a cap on my head beats sitting under the dryer any day lol

Is it wrong to be a black girl who can't cornrow and to have to go to a former stylist to do so? She's charging me $20; but I feel like it's a dang shame that I have to do so.

 

[Dreamer48]

Apparently I cannot keep protective styles in my hair for more than one week. My twists felt dry and I just wanted something different. So after a much needed trim, I took my mini twists out after one week. I immediately deep conditioned on dry hair with Silk Elements MegaSilk for an hour or so, then rinsed my hair and scalp with acv. I did not shampoo nor use a rinse out conditioner because I didn't think my hair needed those products.

My hair felt healthy and amazing after I rinsed out the dc. My curls *popped* after the acv rinse (I thought about taking pics to post here while still in the shower ). I moisturized with shea butter and sealed with castor oil. Now my hair is in 10 braids. My hair feels so soft! I can't remember the last time my hair felt this good.

Most of the time I side-eye or just laugh because I wonder if they need to be put into an institution.

There are a lot of black girls that can't cornrow. And if I knew someone who would do it for $20 I would get it done every two weeks.

Do what you have to do. and if you want to learn how to cornrow practice every few weeks until you get the hang of it.

Nothing is wrong with it; I was jut making an observation.

Some people are so full of negativity and try to knock you off your grind. I am still going to do my thing, it just makes me go hard! or stay home!

YOU Can get the finger the middle!

I think some people get a high out of making others feel bad. Tis okay fookery is everywhere Aireen

They need to be hung from a wire by their shirt as a boxing bag!
:hardslap:

 

[JaneiR36]

Ugh. I hate when I do this. Slack off the whole day, and here it is 9 PM, I haven't eaten dinner, still caking Aphogee into my hurr, still have to rinse it out, soften / condition, maybe deep condition, dry, eat dinner, watch a little TV and go to bed. Yeah... some of those gonna get skipped...

 

[Myjourney2009]

Its official all of my conditioners must contain some type of protein.

The only time I will use one that is ONLY moisture is when I am either co-washing mid-week or if I am blow drying my hair or if I have used my neutral protein filler on my ends.

My leave-ins must contain protein as well.

Ahh it feels so good to finally have this hair thing almost solved.

YESSSSSS THIS!! You need to be like the Law and Order for LHCF, JJamiah.

 

[shasha8685]

I know spritzes are a sin 'round these parts but....


where the freak can I find Optimum Care Soft Holding Spritz?!? That was my staple back when I didn't know any better. It gives soft hold though and is low alcohol.

I miss it.

No hard feelings at all. I was a hardcore bunner. But, I wanted to try something different this summer. So, I want to get into the deeper end of the pool now instead of wading in the shallow end,

 

[Kurlee]

i have a sick problem of not liking to comb my hair. I wll keep it moisturized, but in my world, buns are my best friend. I think I should play with it more

I've noticed that the longer hair threads are usually mellow and encouraging. I assume that this is because they are more-so vetted lhcf members, compared to the newbies.

SN: Thanks for the info on ignoring and ISpy.

Nope, not wrong at all. I just learned last year, but I'm still shaky. Also, $20 is a decent price.

I absolutely love how my scalp feels so cleansed and clean. I also love how my Motions Neutralizing Shampoo does this without making my hair feel dry and deprived. Best. Shampoo. Ever.

SO is insisting on getting me a Brazilian treatment for my BD but I dont want my hair falling out......I dont know.

 

[Anakinsmomma]

Yep, I'm loving these phony ponies, especially the afro puff! Makes me feel better about what's going on with my hair lately. I'll be able to PS until at least the wedding!

PS can wait for my buns to get here!

I'm bringing in HE color me happy as a leave-in back into the rotation. It's heavier than S-curl so its really good for laying down my edges without adding more gel

I think I'm able to see the difference in the length of my hair pre and post hair journey.....
