Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

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.

What if you just ordered multiples of the one item you actually want? I guess this won't work if the product expires though.

How are you taking them out with minimum damage? I had unnecessary breakage when I took mine out a week ago.

I am prepping my hair for another installment in a week or so. I retained length and volume in spite of the breakage. I am going to do things differently this time. I love challenges!

That hair color is gorgeous :love:
 
Datblame you, Dollartree! You have the Optimum professional products but not all of them in any one store and I only got one hair protector gel. Ladies, their keratin neutralising shampoo is on sale online at beauty supplies for 30 bucks. Don't pass up on this opportunity. I smelled the shampoo and it smells divine plus, it's very rich and creamy. Lurv!
 
Thinking about deep conditioning with every co-wash until my relaxer in a few months... The damage done to my hair happened over time so I should take extra care to protect it for a while before my next chemical service. Thinking about bringing my coconut cream and coconut water back for the last few washes before the relaxer...
 
I hate taking down my protective styles and I hate paying someone to take them down for me.

Its always a mess because I seem to give myself a trim every time I try and take it out myself. I called a local salon and they only remove protective styles if they did the initial work... which makes no sense. I'm paying you... take it out.

Ugh!!

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.

Yes!! My roots grow in really tangled, but the length of my hair is fine. I don't even bother with styles that require braids or twists to my scalp. I do find the JBCO helps my roots to lay flat if I'm doing a bun, and I do run a wide tooth comb through my roots (on damp hair with conditioner) periodically to remove shed hair. I should be more diligent about detangling them, but I don't feel like bothering most of the time.

today i was parting my hair to wash and my roots were so matted but the length was normal. i dont get it.
 
I cannot wait until my hair is a super thick WL. I get so tired of my mom and sisters commenting on what I do to my hair, which is actually very simple. It's not your hair so it's not your business. My sister always says me and my natural hair bullsh!t, giving me unsolicited advice when she can barely take care own hair. She lives in weaves and I don't comment on her hair. I feel like the only thing to do is show them, that me and all my natural hair bullsh!t were effective.

Yep! *don't believe me, just watch* When I first went natural, the women on my mom's side would always make little side comments :blah: but now all except two of them are natural after seeing my hair growth and how thick and healthy it is...and I didn't have to say a peep. (My hair is technically WL, but I'm not ready to claim it yet because I want the rest of my hair to catch up.)

*disclaimer* I also know relaxed hair can grow long and thick as well, I'm all about what works for each individual
 
I really need to ask:

Will not moisturizing my hair everyday lead to damage even if I don't skip it too often? I get lazy sometimes.

Will not washing too often lead to damage? I used to wash like twice or maybe three times a week max. Due to laziness and time constraints I've been going a week or more without a good shampoo.


Is trimming wet hair damaging?

I don't think not moisturizing your hair everyday is damaging because if your using a great moisturizer that agrees with your hair, you won't need to do so. But because I have got in the habit to do so, I do. I don't believe in letting my hair get dry and then moisturize. I moisturize daily so my hair doesn't get dry. But it also depends on the environment you live in also.
Not washing your enough can lead to damage especially if your using products that build up over time. Even if your using moisturizing ones (with cones or petroleum), it will be useless if it is coating the hair. But you should know the limits your hair can take. I wash once a week. It's some that have to cowash mid week to keep the moisture.
Trimming your hair wet is not damaging at all. I don't know where you got that from to be honest lol

I have been missing for a bit. I had a friend visit from my old state for 9 days. I was barely on any social networks which shows I was a good host :)
 
The medical assistant at my doctor's appointment today told me my hair was "so thick and pretty." I thought that was very sweet of her, considering I just have it in a clip and after almost two years natural, still haven't figured out what to do with it besides twists.
 
I saw the most beautiful head of curls on instagram. I can see why some folks go gaga over curls. I was scrolling down so many pictures I felt like a stalker. Her washngos, braid out and twist outs all look alike. It's crazy.
 
I hate when I can't find something! I'm looking for a lunar calendar but from a specific site & I cannot recall the name! It's pissing me off because I know that I printed out a calendar from that site previously but I cannot find the printout. I just want to get back to monthly dustings!

Hmm...my hair seems to have stopped shedding since I got it straightened last week. I don't get it. When my hair is curly, I shed more than ever but with the flat ironed hair, i have shed like two to three strands over the last week...SMH

I notice the same thing. I'm hoping that I just don't see my shed hair fall out when it's straight otherwise I'm losing s lot more hair when it's curly.
 
I just brought some red palm oil today. I figured it was good for hair and hurried up and saw that it was good for growth as well the cardiovascular. Cleans the arteries, lowers blood pressure and etc
