Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Lilmama1011]

So, I ended up falling asleep with the conditioner and maple syrup in my hair. Still haven't washed it out. Might eat and everything before I do rinse it out because that will be me taking a shower and getting ready for bed and it's pretty early now.

I might just do the southern tease bun or a regular bun. I'm still a little paranoid about the bun maker thing and I want to cover it with satin but I don't know how to. I looked up how to and I still think I can't do. My sewing skills are not even at beginners

I think I'm going to push up my hair appointment, the 27th seems so far away lol

I always have the best intentions after work I'll workout and then un do my braids prepoo, wash condition and re-braid but i'm sure i'll fall asleep on the couch.

I love them. You get credit towards future purchases with each purchase, they ALWAYS have some sale going, and they also have a beauty.com division with additional products, MORE sales, and you get the credit there too.

ETA:...AND you can pick up your purchases at Walgreens if you want. I just have mine come to the house, but that feature sounds good to me.

Wow! That's reeeally nice! I was looking at some vegetable glycerin and they had a really good price for 16oz. I will definitely keep them in mind for future online purchases. They have a nice selection of hair products, too.

I'm so mad at myself. In my eagerness to condition and detangle my hair I forgot to do my tea rinse.

Old formula S-Curl really is obsolete. When I heard about the formula change I just shrugged it off and thought to myself that I would have no problem finding the old formula in some random corner of a beauty supple store. I was wrong, I can't find it anywhere.

Now I understand why you ladies will have stockpiles of a product once you hear it's discontinued or the formula changed.

No one wants to go through the trial and error of finding a new staple to love and even then it's not as good.

ion color brilliance is pretty good. It doesn't stain. I want to use manic panic, but it drains something terrible! I don't know...

 

[rileypak]

Of course I install curlformers and as I'm going through my hair I find a wonderful little curly patch above my ear that didn't make it into a roller. It's the cutest little fuzzball ever!

 

[Prettymetty]

I need to find a good semipermanent rinse in Blue-black.

These mainstream hair care companies are really steppin their game up. I can't believe Lottabody has so many other products besides setting setting lotion.

Yay silk presses but I was ***this*** close to relaxing. It's hard to weight wanting straight hair or not when you work out/walk everywhere and its humid.

 

[tapioca_pudding]

Im going to either flat iron my hair or do curlformers this weekend. I need to get some kinda foaming mouse/wrap so my curls will actually stay. I hate when I style my hair in the a.m. and my curls are gone by noon. Mo Knows Hair always uses the Motions one so maybe I'll give that a try.

I know the struggle... I'm a straight haired natural in Houston

I finally tried the cherry lola treatment and my hair detangled very easily and is so soft. This is a keeper but it's so hard to find full fat yogurt these days

 

[MyCoilsGoBoing]

I'm deep conditioning my hair under a bonnet blow dryer attachment as I type this. I have not had a thorough wash day since the end of March, when I started my new job. *hangs head in shame* I did co-wash and half-ass shampoo and condition, but not a true wash day. Surprisingly, I had very little breakage and my hair has grown some. *happy dance* I was going to blow dry my hair, but nah. This is taking long enough. I haven't used direct heat on my hair since January.

I bought that Macadamia Nut Oil masque from TJMaxx a couple of weeks ago. I was so excited to try it and then I remember that I'm allergic to tree nuts. LOL. I'm going to return it tomorrow.

I'm going to make a hair appointment soon. I need a trim badly.

 

[naija24]

yay!! I love my hair pressed!!! Getting it done every week now

 

[Evolving78]

Can't wait to get in the barber's chair! Gotta keep my swag up! Lol the SM doesn't feel all that great on wet hair...

 

[divachyk]

My natural new growth is easier to detangle than my relaxed hair. Crazy.

That's how it was for me. The deeper I got into my transition. Now that I'm fully natrual my detangling consists of me spending five minutes in the shower.

@stephanie75miller when I had 2 seconds worth of ng, I was struggling. It has definitely gotten easier with the presence of multiple inches of ng. This is just so weird to me...but I like it.

My flatironed hair is starting to get old and puffy. Back in my pre-HHJ days I would have whipped out my flatiron and touched it up. Now the thought of applying heat to my dirty, parched hair horrifies me. No wonder my hair never got much past SL. I just wish LHCF had been around in the 80's or at least the early 90's.

 

[PeaceFlow]

I think if I would have stuck with the types of products I had coming to lhcf id be butt length now.

I HATE Natural Nazis with a PASSION!

ETA: I appreciate my hair and I take care of it and I love this site for teaching me so much, but I will never understand how some black woman have allowed for their existence to be reduced to their hair to the point where they feel like they can tell other women about what grows out of their head. So many times Ive seen on YouTube naturals taking going on relaxed videos and saying negative things, it's like who asked you. Sometimes I think they're just mad because their hair didn't look as good relaxed.
