Wash day and the relaxed part of my hair is annoying me.
My new growth is chilling with product on it no worries. Detangles when I slide a comb through it. It is not giving me grief.

My relaxed hair, however, wants to tangle every chance it gets. Most of this wash day has been spent detangling my relaxed part. Smh.
 
Just saw my first ever Dominican salon in the city I live in. Not sure if it is still open or not it's pretty far out, but it's nice to know my city has one.
 
I was two steps from ordering 2 bundles of kinky curly hair to get sewn in. Now I know darn well , I hate having a sew in because my scalp and length of hair suffers a lot.

I really wanted it though.
 
Every single time I go two weeks between wash day, I regret it. Yet every other month, I go two weeks between washing my hair. I hate all the shed hair I find when I go longer than one week between wash days.
 
I hate people trying to talk others into going natural. Commenting how on pretty/moisturized/soft/wavy/curly my newgrowth feels or looks is not a way of expressing some undying want to go natural that I need others' help uncovering. We all know that we have the option to quit relaxing at any time. Go away. Shoo fly.

I understand. I'm natural and I want to texlax and I have ppl in my ear talking about I have good natural hair and why would I want to do that. I feel like saying, Girl, it's my hair I'll do with it as I please.

It is very annoying. At first, I loved the support black people received with being encouraged to go natural but its gotten obnoxious at this point. Every comment about someones hair is not a greenlight for unsolicited comments about going natural. I love scrolling Instagram hair pages and often will read the comments to see if products or techniques somehow got lost within them. As soon as I see "if you went natural/quit relaxing your hair it would look like this" I exit the picture. How is that an answer for "what gel do you use"?

I hate that so much! I honestly feel like it's jealousy, I've seen so many naturals just unapologetically hate on a woman with wonderful relaxed hair, it's like their jealous of what they couldn't have achieved themselves. If I've learned anything from reading the Komaza results for so many woman, is that natural hair is in no way more healthy than relaxed hair without proper care.
 
Currently on day 11 hair. My hair is really stretched and looks great. I don't think it'll become my new routine (too many variables) but it's great to know this is an option.

I'm currently using KCKT and Ecostyler Argan gel. A gel with a heavier hold gives me a better faux W&G.
 
Does anyone else's hair web at the roots? I don't know why my hair does that. I keep it stretched and my ends are fine and separate well. But my roots always web together and make it difficult to part. This week I kept my roots braided for a few days and unraveled them and my roots were still tangled up. It so annoying and makes restyling my hair difficult.
 
/Rant

Straightened my hair for a wedding this weekend and it was sweated out by the reception. I don't know how some of you go days/weeks with "no issues". I was dancing and not going nearly as hard as I would have if I had worked out. I didn't even work out this morning because I was trying to preserve what's left. Maybe I have unicorn hair. I'm not going to damage it by putting heat again on sections that are showing out - will throw these braids in I've been procrastinating on because I felt as if I wasn't giving this a fair chance. Straight hair natural isn't going to work for me. Need it longer to see if curly hair routine will work.

I wish I could say this!!! :look: One day...

I always feel a little weird around here because my ultimate goal is between APL and BSL straightened, which is short around here.

We all have our out of the loop moments. For instance, I'm a natural haired person that doesn't wear WNGs and isn't interested in having her curls pop. This means that most of natural-specific topics won't apply to me.
 
Lol moment I brought these two bottles of carols daughter I thought one was a hair lotion. So I'm applying it to my blow dried hair and I pick the bottle up clear as day it says conditioner... Welp I'll wash this out later cause I'm not about to wash and blow dry again

Can anyone ID this jumbo curling iron?
 
I dunno what I am going to do with my hair anymore. I feel like I have one trick when it comes to my hair- which is a bun of some kind :-/.

I am so uninterested, I don't know how long my hair is (has been a little over bsl for over a year now iirc). Everything takes too long.

Long deep sigh....

I find that annoying as well despite being a natural head. Just let others do them and worry about their own hair. I was convincing my mother to go natural but realized that relaxed hair is just easier for her plus once she said she was going to put a jherri curl, I was like nah, just keep your relaxed.
 
I need more DB transitioning crime, but I hate paying the shipping cost. To make it more palatable I try to spend a bit more so the shipping cost is a small percent of the total cost. Any suggestions for other DB products I may want to try? So far I've only used the transitioning creme and the daily leave in conditioner and I really like both.
 
Just when I thought I'd cured my pjism my cousin tells me she's transitioning. They keep pulling me back to pj land. Let me go lurk the transitioning thread. News like this puts me on terrible spending spree.
