Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[maxineshaw]

Very depressed over all this damage in my hair. I didn't know it was so bad until I had my mother braid my hair last week.

 

[MACGlossChick]

I think I'm going to buy the supplies to do my own microlink weave. I should be able to get everything from eBay for cheap.

 

[imaginary]

Yeah I'm officially hiding my scissors. Just realized how much hair I spontaneously cut off the other day . I should be slapped.

Part of me wants to roller set my hair but my hair is like you better not.

I looked at the weather for this upcoming week; I doubt a roller set will last two days.

Wash and Go wins. Now I have to debate over Curly Girl Method, Tightly Curl Method, Hair Rules Method or just wing it.

You could take the elements that are all the same from the 3 methods and use the products you like.

I'm so glad that I didn't chop all my hair off last year when I wasn't feeling it, because I have a new hair goal now. My current ponytail in the same position stops midback, so I've got another 16" inches to go

She's just swinging because she knows she got it.

I'm so over this heat damage! I want all of my hair to be great. Not just the back of my head.

I love how a coconut oil pre-poo is magically able to revitalize abused, dry, hair in a matter of minutes. Why did I ever stop doing these?

 

[SuchaLady]

Deep conditioning with heat for the first time in years. Gonna do this for the next 6 months. Also looking for a way to incorporate castor oil back. No idea why I ever stopped.

I was going to do a ponytail roller set but I wanted to see if the longer clips would get a good tight rollers. I had got only two packs of twelve clips and wasn't sure was it enough. But I have two extra ones. So it took 22 clips. I didn't feel stressed roller setting my hair this time. About to hop under the dryer for 30 minutes, then rest and go back for another 30 minutes. This will be the last rollerset until I relax again

I want to braid my hair this weekend, but idk how that's gonna happen :/

I really need to stop underestimating how easy my hair can get oily. I had used castor oil and the next day my hair looked great and was contained, but it felt sooo greasy. I rewashed my hair and decided to use avocado oil to seal. I'm thinking b/c my hair is wet it will be fine as it dries. My hair looks nice today, shiny, contained, but it's super oily. I like the avocado oil but I'll def use less per twist next time. I think I overused it b/c it's getting warmer and to help too much swelling from the humidity I was a bit heavy handed with the oil. Every time I touch my hair it's oil slick curls.

I'm so glad target started offering sample sizes in shampoo/conditioner. I just tried Carols Daughter for the first time and my hair responded well.

 

[ClassyJSP]

Going to go back to applying green magic to my scalp daily.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

2 weeks since I got my hair braided.

$65 for style. $20 for hair.

Trying to decide if I will leave it in until vacation which is June 10-13. Decisions....

I think I finally found a use for the shea moisture coconut & hibiscus curling gel soufflé. I put my hair in braid twists (until the EC creme jelly styler is delivered) to wear my half wig and for some strange reason I grabbed for that product to do the braid and twist...the outcome is that my hair still feels moisturized days later. The only issue is that the product expired a month ago...will this mess up my hair?

 

[mz.rae]

I think if I ever relax again I'm going to try being rollersetting relaxed head. In the past I was a braid out and bun type relaxer and retained a great amount of length. I would like to see if I could achieve the same being a roller setter.

Mine is expired as well but I still use it haven't had any issues so far.

Going to mix some conditioner with my hair color to maintain the purple.

 

[SugarRush]

I really miss my hair but it doesn't make sense to take this weave out, I've not had it for long.

I'm at work thinking about my conditioner stash and other hair goodies I have. I just want to play in my hair and do a nice big puff

 

[DivineNapps1728]

I bought two packs of ponytail hooks & I cannot wait for them to arrive; I hope they're worth the hype.

 

[ClassyJSP]

I think I want to get medium sized box braids for the summer. I'll be able to take a break from my wigs for about a month or two and still have access to my scalp to apply my green magic. Plus my mama will do them for me for free all I'll have to do is get the hair.

decisions decisions.

I love my new (Kerastase) salon. It costs more than the Dominicans, but my new stylist is on point. She walked me through each step and explained the products she used.

She carefully detangled and blowdried my hair in sections. I got a pre blowdry and then a roundbrush. She finished with a shot of cool air. Next, she ironed small sections on medium heat with the comb chase method and she used heat protectant on each section.

Finally she gave me some tips on how to maintain my hair between salon visits.

 

[imaginary]

@Prettymetty I remember you saying that you have fine hair (?), but you use the round brush (or have it used on you) pretty regularly. Do you get a lot of split ends? I was thinking of incorporating these brushes (and light heat) as a way to avoid SSKs

 

[Prettymetty]

@imaginary I only get the round brush used on me every 3-4 weeks. They use it to stretch my roots in preparation for the flat iron. My ends are actually pretty healthy. I have a few random splits, because I don't have the patience to do search and destroys lol.

 

[spacetygrss]

My hair is so weird. It took 3 wash cycles for me to get enough shed hair to send to Komaza. It's like I shed very little for months on end, then I'll suddenly shed a ton in a short period of time. Sigh.

 

[Beany]

Post partum shedding <

 

[Prettymetty]

My Kerastase package is here. I stepped outside and it was under the mat. Lol. The delivery guy didn't bother to knock

 

[GettingKinky]

I got my hair colored and flat ironed last night. Just from sleeping my nape totally reverted. I wonder if I should go back to texlaxing, but I hate how the results are not consistent from touch-up to touch-up. Sigh......

 

[InBloom]

1) I'm a sucka for pretty haircare products packaging
2) I dusted my ends yesterday and felt annoyed because I had to.
3) I ordered new products online and my stuff hasn't been processed nearly 2 weeks later.


Update...it's another week later and my products still haven't shipped. "Hmmm, why are you posting on LHCF then?"

That's awesome. Those types of stylist are very rare.
