Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[curlyTisME]

Twisted my hair tonight and will apply some neem oil to my scalp before bed.

Someone at work asked me how long my hair was this afternoon. I pretty much gave them the Kanye shrug and told them that I didn't know. I guess they thought I was being funny but I really don't know due to shrinkage...lol..

Baah I really botched my WnG today (thank you hair mousse -____-) and jumped in the shower TWICE to fix it. It's *decent* now, but will post the pics of shame later for prosperity.
Looks fine from the side right? Well peep at the 2nd pic for dried results smdh.

So since I'm a head sweater and it's been hot as heck lately, I've been washing my hair more frequently... like every 4 days. I look forward to washing my hair when I get home. My scalp has been sweating in this heat.

I'm washing every other day and it's great but I wear wngs, so that's no effort on my part. You do t-o's and stuff, right? (read: you actually *do* your hair, right? )

Oh yeahhhh so it takes a little time. I've gotten faster with the twist outs. I've only attempted a wng once and it was a hot mess. My twist outs are no fail so I stick with those for now. Wng would be lovely in this damn heat.

I REFUSE TO BUY ANY MORE NATURAL CONDISH FROM STARTUPS. First, two Mission Condition conditioners spoiled now Annabell's Perfect Blend. That broccoli creme spoiled! Stinks! It smells rancid. I'll stick to Qhemet and Oyin for now. I'm not supporting any more kitchenologists. Done!

I love aussie moist.
I love silicones.
I love shampooing my hair
I love commercial products.
I will avoid falling into hair fads, and rely more on hair science.

 

[curlyTisME]

Moisturized and sealed and did some flat twists.

Amen to that.

Lawd have mercy when back Friday comes. I'm saving at least $500 for hair products only. I'll be stacking stacking stacking.

Stop asking me when I am going to perm my hair. As of right now I have no plans to do so. If however I change my mind I will be sure to let you know. I did not grow it out to perm it ok?

 

[ImanAdero]

I seriously don't think k my hair has grown any longer all year... yes I got a trim in April... But it doesn't look longer than it was last year... I guess I need to figure out what's wrong in the event I decide I actually don't feel like cutting my hair.

New DevaCurl product costs 28.00?? Who are they making that stuff for? Paris Hilton?

For just 5.1 oz! I was all ready to try it until I saw the price. So disappointing.

I wish my sister hadn't found my stash, now she is going to think she can just go and use my products without asking me. Especially my bottles of old formula Creme of Nature Argan Oil Shampoo, I hid the box and if she asks, I'm donating it. She has a job she can go buy her own products.

LHCF has spoiled me to the point where I now assume that other black women know the same things that I know about hair and how to take care of it but today I got a reminder about how some people truly have NO idea

I sold this girl some beautiful luscious curly weave last weekend & today she messaged me talking bout "How often do I need to condition this hair? And how do I keep it from tangling? Do I need to comb it?"

Store them in a "nosiness repellent" place, like in a box labeled Tangled Christmas Lights.

She already saw the box and used one of the bottles, but I took the box with the other bottles and put it in my grandma's closet.

21st century PJing has become difficult.

I need to remove my braids. My edges are dictating that it is time.

Once I do, I'll probably do twist outs for about 2 weeks then go to wigging it up. I'm trying to make it past this 8th month of transitioning.....

 

[overtherainbow]

I've been loosely banding my pigtails and ponytails at night under a bonnet this entire week using satin headbands. I like that it maintains my braidouts better while keeping my hair from tangling up. Hopefully it won't cause any breakage....

 

[PureSilver]

Seems like my combo of vitamins/supplements are working, the hairs in the comb are less, somehow though my hair looks thinner. I'm gonna do a DC today and watch what happens.

 

[PureSilver]

Excessive dry scalp with flakes, how the hell did this happen???

 

[sharifeh]

That moment when your roots look crazy but you have a headache so you take off your headband anyway
I'm over here looking like a monster lol

Today is wash day and I don't fee like detangling my hair at all..sigh

I know the feeling. Lol

More than 2/3 done taking out my locs. More than decent length retained. I hopedI'd be done by now. was up til 3 this morning working on it.
My hands feel like they got whacked with a cricket bat. My elbow feels like it wants to just fall out. I smell like icy hot, now aka "Bae".
Giving up for the night and mixing up a margarita or three. Done with this mess.

I soaked my Kanekelon hair in vinegar and water for about an hour. I didn't see any residue!

So I said screw it, shampoo the hair and hanging it up to dry. I'll prep the hair later on this week to cut down my braiding time.

I currently have kinky twists installed now. But I think taking down my twists every 3 weeks - rest for a day (shampoo/DC, etc) - and reinstall will help with this transition period.
