Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

My curls always look so much better when they're shorter.

I noticed this last time I cut my hair but I thought that maybe my hair might have been damaged in some way last time and when I cut it I just cut off all the damage. But my hair definitely wasn't damaged this time and now I've cut it the curls just look so much better, more defined, more clumped, just more curly in general. It's probably because when it's longer the curls are weighed down more so they don't 'pop' as much. But yeah, I love it.

Another thing I've noticed is that maybe my face looks better with shorter hair. Not super short like when I first BCed but around neck length to shoulder length like when I cut it a few years ago and now. I think this because last time I cut it and this time I've been getting more male attention than I usually do. Not that male attention is the be all and end all:lol: but I deffo think shorter hair may look better on me. Maybe that's why I always get bored with my look and my hair when it starts getting really long.

ETA: Just had another thought. Or maybe it's having less hair around my face that suits me more. Because I tend to also get more attention when my hair is tamer, like slicked back off my face, somehow. Basically when my face is showing a lot more. Maybe big hair or a lot of hair overwhelms my features in some way. Idk.
 
I swear wearing these box braids are going way too slow. I thought last week was two weeks, but just this Sunday it will be two weeks. I miss my hair but it looks nice
 
I want to wash my hair but I'm scared it will frizz my braids so I will just use dry shampoo and spray and oil my hair and might use the hot head to infuse the moisture once a week
 
Going to an outdoor event tomorrow thats not worth the 20 minutes it takes to let down my bye felicia braids. Might just wear a sunhat. I made the mistake of wearing a braidout to a baseball game this week on a humid day and I was 2 seconds from shaving my hair off.
 
My hair looked amazing today in my WnG. I'd say it's either the best or the 2nd best WnG I've EVER had! Lots of frizz-control and definition, tons of movement, very elongated, much less volume but still has body, lots of sheen, and no crunch.

I'm so glad I got more Ecostyler gel. Yeah, the flaxseed has got to go.
I'm also glad I reincorporated the Hollywood Beauty Olive Cholesterol back in my routine. I know it's technically not CG method approved due to mineral oil, but it's always done amazing things for my hair, and the rest of the ingredients are fabulous, specially at that price point.

Those are the two things I changed today, and it shows.
 
Found a new braider from Gambia and I'm overly impressed. Half Cornrows, Half Kinky Twists exceptionally neat and careful not to pull my edges. I was in an out in 2 1/2 hrs and she was the sole braider. I have never seen hands fly so fast like that. If I wanted a full head kinky twists, it would have taken her 3 hrs or less. Very friendly and good customer service. I'm also transitioning so I'm beyond thrilled. My hair was sitting right in rat's nest territory after being 9 months post relaxer.
 
My hair was in a half up half down braidout with a side bang. Well it rained yesterday, it poured heavily and sure of itself for a while and I was at the bus stop waiting. My hair was affected by the humidity of Miami air and that lovely rain. However to my surprise when I came back home in the evening my hair braidout softened up having the appearance of soft and fluffy curls to touch.

About a third of the way done with my hair. Considering painting my fingertips with clear polish to keep the wrinkles at bay. So tired and my hands are crying. Gotta stay focused, though. It WILL be worth it.

........it had better be......
 
About to spray my box braids and scalp with braid spray and grapeseed oil and infuse moisture with my hot head for a half hour heating up twice wearing it 15 minutes a piece
 
I feel like I have a lot of new growth for it just hitting two weeks for my braids. I was pulling it a little and even SO was like wow. I will be inverting next week to see if I can get some added growth from that for once, take the braids out at weeks four, wear it out for a week, and then relax
 
Really can't wait til I take these braids out to wash them. When I scratch I see buildup. Also the braid spray has cones in it and I'm spraying twice a day. But I like how my scalp was so moist after the hot heads off. I then dipped my braids into some boiling water again to seal it even more and applied grapeseed oil to my scalp and braids. I then put my scarf and put two ponytail twists and put a ponytail holder on the ends. It's going to stay like that at least until tomorrow
 
The Hispanic lady sitting across from me has a beard. On the bright side, I just oiled and tea rinsed my hair. Then, I moisturized, sealed and bunned. I also just purchased some Emergencia conditioner. I'm guessing it's Dominican?
 
I really feel like taking out these kinky twist I got put in for vacation. They are only a week old. I miss my hair. I had planned on keeping them in for at least a month. I'm thinking I will be removing them this weekend.
 
I did a few pincurl tutorials on youtube. I'm glad I did because I thought I was pincurling correctly on my own. Well I learned how to do it better.

We'll see how it all turns out when the pincurls come out later. Should be bouncy, curly, and pretty.
