Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

made my own thread but i need immediate advice. i couldn't find it with google or youtube. how the HELL do i wash my hair with a silk/lace closure installed?
 
I decided to bump up my cowashing to 1 to 2 times per week. Normally, I just wash my hair once a week but I want to see if I retain more by cowashing more often.
 
It took me a few days, but I got over the devastation of having heat damage :laugh:. I learned my lesson, and will never make that mistake again, but the plan for my hair had been to keep it straight anyway :look:. That, and I'm over cutting my hair. I ain't about that life right now LOL!! I'm trying to hit APL this December and make my way to WL locks. Having my curls 100% back would be nice, but it's not necessary for the goals I wanted to achieve this time around :lol:

I think I'm gonna cut my hair into a curly A line bob tonight. Wish me luck!

If it turns out good I'll post pics. If not, then...:look:.

I did it! And I really love how it turned out. I cut it a bit shorter than I'd intended to because the back was wonky and I had to cut it more to even it out. But it's no biggie, I still love it. In the pics I have the longest bits tucked behind my ear so it is sort of A line you just can't tell. I like the tucked behind my ear look.

Anyway, here's a pic. I don't like how my face looks in them hence the black circles. :lol:

1. Decided I'm going to take my hair out while I'm re-watching TUT on iTunes :yep: that way I can wash it and DC while I'm studying and blow dry before I go to bed so I can study in the morning before my braider comes.
2. My hair seems to be growing almost 1 inch a month since I stuck to braids and left it alone.:look: I'm curious how long it will be when I straighten it in November for my birthday (and bar results).
 
I'm mad at myself for having so much heat damage. But trimming my hair little by little is so relieving, I'm seeing so much more beauty I this healthy hair state.
 
I tried flaxseed gel for the first time and I'm underwhelmed. I don't know if I didn't make it right or apply enough. I do have some definition, but nothing I can't get with just conditioner. It's definitely a super-light hold gel on my coarse hair, not even close to my Ecostyler.

I'll redo my WnG tomorrow, and I'll pile on the flaxseed gel to see if that makes a difference.
 
Also, I've been doing the Curly Girl method for the past 2 weeks, and nothing but WnG and I love it so far.

I've done cowashing since back in the 90s, as well as skipping combs/brushes and shampoos for at least 2 weeks at a time, but I didn't have as good a time as now. The difference is that this time I'm using silicone-free products.

I tried all-natural products in the past and my hair hated them - it has apparently changed over the years, because it seems to like it so far. I have much less shedding, and MUCH shinier and moisturized hair with much less effort.

Why is so hard to find youtubers who 1, have my hair type, and 2, started with a twa and grew it long?? I mean, damn. I'm getting frustrated.

I'm STILL looking for a youtuber with my hair type, and I've been searching for at least 5 years. Sigh.

The fact I have like 3 different hair types doesn't help. So far, I'm 99% sure the last 1/3 of my hair is 4A. The rest is one big ****** mystery.
