Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Been on these new hair vitamins for a month now tomorrow, while I see way less hair in the sink and comb, I was hoping to see some growth too. Now how much longer must I wait.
 
I'm putting my full lace wig to the side in favor of some short Havana twists. I noticed my edges are thinning from constant friction from the wig rubbing in the front, so I left them out of the extension style and simply did a flat twist around the perimeter of my edges as well as my nape to eliminate any pulling from extensions. I also mixed up a new hair growth oil with virgin coconut oil, jamaican black castor oil w/lavender, wonder oil, and drops of peppermint. We'll see what happens because going to the pool and the gym with a wig on is not it.

Now let me see how this turns out tomorrow. #1 reason I'm typing this......... These damn flexirods and perm rods are preventing me from sleeping.

If it doesn't look cute tomorrow , I'm gonna be MAD!

You're lucky you're not in curlformers...those things are torture devices. I bought a $10 soft bonnet attachment for my hair dryer at Sally's. Works like a charm!

My dear I did use a few of those as well, along with small and medium size perm rods. I really don't feel rested right now.

Banana clip curls. I'm very style challenged.

YASSS GOD ANSWERED MY PRAYERS!!

The Hair Cuttery in my neighborhood is 75% black women stylists!! Got an amazing and quick press for my natural hair for just $35 dollars!!! #praisetheLord Before I was paying $75-80 for a basic press that would poof in 3 days. I'm now on day 3 and it's still beautifully straight.

Guess who will be getting biweekly presses from now on???

I used a DIY hair refresher spray this morning and I think I overdid it on the Pink Sugar fragrance oil. I just walked down the hallway at work, and when I walked back there was a discussion about why the hall smelled like cake and cotton candy!

LOL!!! At least no one said it was unpleasant.

That's a good thing, I would be beaming from ear to ear. I am all typing this. Ingredients please because I ❤️ me a yummy smelling product.
 
I'm gonna have to get over my laziness and just go back to washing my hair in the shower. It takes longer and is more annoying, but I have way less SSK's. I dunno why I never attributed them to how I wash my hair...
 
After trying grease, I'm going back to natural grease/pomade. I could buy the premade one I know and like or experiment with making one. If I make one, the ingredients will cost me $8 less than the premade and would make the same amount (if I get it right the first time).

Hmmm.....

I think I'll just spend the $8 extra and save myself the headache.
 
It's Tax-Free Week. I saw so many young women (18-25) with severe hair loss (e.g. Naomi Campbell).

I'm surprised... I only saw this among older women in the 80s & 90s.
There are too many hair piece options now for this to still occur.
 
Waist Length was my initial goal (current length), but now I'm thinking it might be TBL. My crochet braid Marley hair was TBL before it was curled, and I like where it falls. I may even have to go a bit longer since I don't really blow my hair out before styling. I was planning on trimming more often in 2016, but we'll see....
 
I love Blue Magic Coconut oil Grease. I use it under my Marley twists. When I originally installed them I sealed and greased my scalp with it. I've had these in for 4 and a half weeks and, co washing twice within that time. I re-did the nape and edges. The build-up was minimal and my hair was so moisturised and strong.
Why did I stop using with grease?
 
Hmm so maybe there is in fact a way to install rollers without my hair being all wet.

I tried my big rollers last night and added a few medium ones to the shorter areas, all I did was wet the ends and rolled it all the way to the root. Again minimal sleep because these things are huge!

I know I need a cut but how do I do that while In a no cut challenge?
 
Pin curling is a new favorite of mine, plus it doesn't interfere with my sleep! I added a little bit of coconut oil to my ends before I pin curled since the humidity was on 10 yesterday!
 
Sooo I was sooo hype to get a weave, I ordered some expensive curly weave and it came and now I'm not as excited to put it in. I want the visual change but I don't look forward to not being able to access my scalp properly with a weave. I've been wearing my twist outs steadily for the past year and I want to switch up my styling options.

I haven't as yet mastered a good looking pin and tuck.

I haven't tried other popular natural styles like rod sets, etc. I'm thinking what else can I do with my length.
 
I'm going to even up my front with my back. Because my hair matted up and I know I had broken hairs, I feel the need to definitely even it up. My front is like 1.5 inches longer than my back and even thought it's even in a ponytail it's not even. But I don't ever wear my hair straight. But because it matted, I feel I should cut the difference off in the front
 
I'm back in twist extensions. They've been in 2 weeks. I'm hoping that going back to PSing 90% will get me out of MBL land.

Still can't get excited about going back to my wigs. I'm so happy to have hair this length but it's still not where I want to be. Grrr.
 
Hair feels moisturized and strong, loving the low maintenance as well. Pin curling is surely less stressful for my hair than nightly twisting.
