Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I don't think she knows how weaves are attached. If she had asked me I could have directed her to a youtube video instead :look:

She's also suggested I change my hair to a style that she prefers on a couple of occasions. One time we saw a woman with wavy braids and she said "I love this style, you should have it like that, instead of this". Yesterday, again, she asked about my hair and I said it's natural, so then she was going on about me having a relaxer and a graduated bob -_-.

This would be fine if I was asking for style advice, but I wasn't :lol:. I don't think she realises she's being rude, but I'm still getting irritated. Bit of a mismatch.

She sounds like a new acquaintance who should be a past acquaintance real fast :lol:

Feeling up on someone's head after they asked you to stop is weird, especially if you aren't doing their hair. I don't like people touching me, especially without my permission, so I don't think you're overreacting. Pulling your weave up to look and feel and looking around your whole head? Odd. Has she never seen weave before?

@Sumra - I see weaves all the time and have no desire to touch them. Strange. I might have snapped.

Yesterday I was at an new acquaintances house. She got to talking about her dye job and noticed the highlights in my hair (she knows I'm wearing fake hair atm). So she gets to touching it, then finds my closure. As soon as I explained what it was she jumped up and started pulling my weave up around the edges to look and feel :/ Then she starts travelling around the back for more investigation. I said no and to stop politely, but she's like "let me look, its interesting!" -_-.

I wasn't in the best of moods so maybe I'm overreacting. I just wish she would have asked permission at least seen as we don't know each other that well. To keep touching me after I said to stop annoyed me also.

Oh no I'm positive I would've snapped. I don't like anyone touching my hair period (real or fake) and who does that anyways weave is not that interesting.
 
I'm going to do a trim/dusting today when I twist my hair. The first trim in over a year but I think it's time. I noticed some single strand knots the last time I twisted.
 
Would using Curlformers twice a month be too much manipulation? I love how much they stretch my hair but I don't want to cause a setback.

Normally I use them, air dry all the way or sit under low heat dryer for an hour then continue air drying if needed, remove and let curls be or pull into a ponytail. After a week or so, I finger comb/detangle any remaining curls out, M&S, then smooth into a bun. No other manipulation happens during the week.
 
The top of my head (my problem area) was really sensitive/painful to the touch for a few days and I was worried. Did a Google search and saw that some people say the pain's associated with a growth spurt. Today the pain is gone and now I'm worried that my hair isn't growing. I think I have developed a hair-related mental disorder.

Time for a blow out and professional trim. I'm thinking September 1st before I go to Philly for the Made in America festival.

I went to Made in America two years ago, it was hot, dirty, and sweaty. You may not want a fresh blow out for that event. It rained the year before.
 
I'm doing everything I can to make my hair as thick as possible. I really want to get my natural hair to a 10 before I decide if I want to stay natural or texlax.
 
It took me all freaking day to get those braids out.

I still need to detangle and wash my hair. It's gonna be a long night......
 
Someone at work asked me if I got a relaxer today... All I did differently was steam plain coconut cream on freshly co-washed hair... My hair is laying down and seems more "straight". Hmmm.... It acted kind of like a protein treatment though because my hair was kind of hard so I had to co-wash it out instead of a regular water wash after a deep conditioner.
 
I feel like cursing out my sisters. I hate when my sisters touch my hair products without asking me, I don't have a job yet and I scrape and save to buy some of the hair products I have. They both have jobs and can go buy their own.

Thanks for the heads up, I'm going this weekend instead of the weekend of the festival. I don't know what I am going to do to it for the festival, maybe a dry twist out.

No problem! I wore my hair in 4 super loose twists placed in a high bun. I would rinse my hair out every night because of the hot sweaty dustiness. I'd also suggest wearing closed toe shoes-- I wore doc martins--because your feet will get stepped on. Feel free to PM me if you want to discuss.
 
Finally gonna try the clear castor oil. I love me some JBCO, but since it's more expensive, I'd only use that for my scalp and the clear for my hair. Also got my hempseed oil but I'm debating whether I should take it internally only, externally only or both. Probably both, but used very sparingly.

I went too the first year Yonce was the headliner. Definitely don't get your hair straightened. You're better off doing something stretched bUT not straight.
 
I just got my hair straightened. I was thinking that my ends are a bit scraggly and I should have gotten a trim. As I was paying another customer said "Your hair is so pretty. People pay for hair like that and you have it growing out of your head" Then my stylist said "only since she stopped relaxing". But that's not true my hair was this long when I was stretching and texlaxing. Then the customer said "I sweat too much to be natural,I would look like an Africa child."

I think I'm finally MBL but only because my hair is relaxer straight.
 
Thinking a lot about Marley twists. The medium size ones. Right now I need a PS that is easy to wear and care that will last for at least 5 weeks.
 
I seriously kick myself for not buying the two jars of Curl Junkie Curl Rehab from the Hair Exchange forum. I seriously need to get a job so I can feel free to buy those things, post-grad life is rough. Hopefully, I see another great deal like that soon.
 
I wish I knew everything I know now that is making my hair grow years ago. It's so simple, it kinda makes me angry with myself. Oh well.

Ughhhh my hair is so breakage prone, I'm starting to see some minor breakage again. I'm a heat free, finger detangling natural. Apoghee 2 step mixed with Neutral protein filler has saved my hair. I do it every six weeks now and my minor breakage means its about that time to do the treatment.
