Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

@Dreamer48 what's your hair type? (if you're ok with hair typing) whenever I'm feeling blah about my hair, I get long extensions and by the time I take it out, my hair has grown a little longer and I'm happy with it again :yep: the one time this backfired was when I did Senegalese twists with cheap synthetic hair :nono: I had horrendous ends after only three weeks. Other than that one bad experience, extensions have generally been a great way for me to stay natural and enjoy my hair anytime anyday

Hair type? I think I'm a 50/50 4a/b, meaning there is a 4a strand right next to each 4b strand making my life a nightmare! Then there's the 3c patch at the nape and the mostly 4b patch at the crown :ohwell:

I have reservations in regards to extensions. I have a big head and thick hair, so I require a lot of hair. I can never get used to the weight of the hair while sleeping or in general.
 
My friend did her first braidout today and decided to share the results w/ me. She did a good job and she was so proud of herself!


Glad to see that I'm rubbing off on folks......
 
How on earth do I wear my hair to my aunt and uncle's 50th anniversary? I could straighten, but lately I have not had a lot of luck with that... I think I've forgotten how to wear my hair straight. Plus it's summer and I need a professional to get it straight enough that it won't get poofy INSTANTLY.

Twist out might be the best choice... Today I'm wearing an afro puff... it's cute, I guess.

The thing is this is my aunt and uncle with the two BEAUTIFUL daughters ... one with 2c hair and one with long bsl hair of my texture. You know they will be looking good. The last time I was with them... well I have a picture from 2008 where my old ratty fuzzy-ended relaxed hair looked a MESS compared to them. :(

I just don't want a repeat of that. Looking crazy, while they look good. Don't know what to do... I'm not feeling confident wearing my hair in a natural style though to ANY other event, I wouldn't hesitate.
 
alive Sorry for butting in :look: but this is what Im thinking of doing. Ive never gotten weave but I need a break from my hair. Plus I want to experiment without doing harm to my real hair. I feel like if I dont give me and my hair a break I am just going to start neglecting her. I have never done the weave thing though.

i decided to do a washy wash...today because i wanted to retry my oyin stuff.

i didnt really like the results i got the first time.

this time i clarified and then instead of towel squeezing my hair like i did the first time, i just applied the hair dew on sopping wet hair.

as far as the burnt sugar goes, i just think my hair doesnt like waxy products. i dunno why i get them. my hair hasnt liked any product with wax in it. lol...but i think i'll use it for my skin.
 
2 more days til length check time for a few challenges I'm in and I'm SOOOooooo not looking forward to flat ironing my hair for them. bleh!
 
I mentioned that I'm wearing braids for the time being... and now my mom's making me keep them in because apparently she didn't like the way my hair looked in natural styles! I'm pissed!

And I hate wearing braids when they are not natural!
 
i am thinking of buying some aloe vera juice today. i am really curious to see if it will help with keeping my hair moist and help with detangling. i was thinking about making the Kimmaytube leave-in as well. my hair feel pretty good right now, but i'm always up for trying something new. i tried to find reviews on it, but all i found was drama. Ms-gg uses it and i'm a fan of her hair. her texture is a little different from mine, but i like to follow regimens from people that have thick hair.
 
is my hair EVER going to dry? yeesh.

i do have to say as it's drying it's feeling pretty great. nice and sofffft.

please oh please, hair, stay that way after drying completely? i'll give you a dollar.
 
Conditioner in my weave right now, leaving it in for 2 hours! I will then wash this hair and blow dry the tracks so they are really dry and then us my braid spray on the tracks.
 
I'm super excited, finally getting to use my new runway tomorrow. Going for a straight half pin up look with my half wig. Hopefully that will break up the monotony of my usual kinky straight with a headband look. I really am bored w/my hair right now.
 
I cowashed my hair this morning and saw a fair amount of breakage. I have not really DC my hair in 2-3 weeks so I believe that might be the problem. I am going to henna either tonight or tomorrow and DC right after. I just hated seeing all of those tiny little curls in the tub after and I am hoping that my hair is okay and I am not heading into a setback.
 
Is it possible to flat iron my hair and it stay straight with 100+ degree weather and humidity??? I just want to wear it for a couple days this weekend...
 
WUV my QB AOHC & OHHB! My hair is so soft! I will be ordering a lot more. Funny, I was so resistant to buying hair products online, now I am hooked. Lol, next I will be trying Hairveda, Shescentit, Oyin or Darcy's Botanicals products. The pj in me wants to buy from them all now.

I FINALLY FOUND MY STAPLES!!!! I've been natural for almost a year and barely found the perfect deep conditioners. Whoop Whoop!! Let me go update my siggy.
 
Looking at my ponytail pic in my siggy almost made me cry tears of joy! I just NOW really looked at it! After all this time, I have the ponytail of my dreams!

Thank you LHCF! :cry:
 
YES!!! :grin::grin:

I finally made use of those banana clips I had laying around in my bathroom!!

What did I use them for? A banana clip bun.


I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner but I think this may be a keeper!
 
its kinda sad that I'm so invested in my hair...

I'm so afraid that when I bc I won't be cute..

I feel like this transitioning hair isnt cute either...

errghh

not comfortable in wigs..
fear of weave and braids due to bad previous experiences...

Maybe I'll try a briad and curl again...and see how it goes.. either that or flat iron...

I definitely can't bc with this current mindset.. I will be driving myself nuts...
 
Skiggle

I dont have any one I trust to doe crochet braids/ kinky twists.. I am only now just getting back my hairline and I have had bad experiences with even so called good braiders that have been recommended to me

I think I will try the twist and curl..
 
I washed my hair yesterday and I finally realized my new growth does care for protein conditioners but my relaxer hair does. Still debating if I should do a touch up at 8 weeks post (next week), instead of waiting another 4 weeks.
