Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I'm relaxing today. I'm really considering relaxing every 8 weeks. I'm 3 months and 3 weeks post relaxer now and did that extra month in braids.

I went to detangle and add serum to the ends for added protection and found another knot in my front. I was so close to cutting it off but just took a fine tooth and forced it through the bottom part of the knot and worked it out surprisingly fast. Gel flakes came out from last week when I took the braids out. The braids was ok, but I wouldn't know the solution to smoothing my edges down without getting gel locking my roots and knotting my hair permanently and me pulling out small plugs.
 
I can't wait to relax, and trim. I love trims. Hopefully I won't have to cut a lot. I will cut more off the front than the back because it is longer. I know I have been saying I will make it even, but now I'm thinking about making it almost even because I love the fact that it's even in a ponytail

I'm too ready to get my hair cornrowed into this beehive and start this wig regimen. I think I wil really see a lot of retention, hopefully more than braids. My 12 in 12 challenge seems to be coming along nicely.

I want to get my hair cornrowed also, but not for a wig. I want it cornrowed for the style AND to give me a break. Just like w/DIY products, li'l momma is tired! Not sure if this is the pic of Brandy I saw on Instagram earlier this year (or late last year), but I would like my hair cornrowed into a bun.

Peppermint Oil 12 drops

Jamaican Black Castor Oil infused lavender 4 oz

Organic Coconut Oil 2 oz

Africa's Best Herbal Oil 1.5 oz (contains Soy Bean Oil, Walnut Seed Oil, Kiwi Fruit Extract, Olive Fruit Oil, Castor Seed Oil, Sesame Seed Oil, Jojoba Seed Oil, Carrot Seed Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Safflower Oil and Calendula Extract and Yarrow Extract and Cucumber Extract and Carageenan Extract and Ginseng Extract and Sage Extract and Comfrey Extract and Aloe Extract, Fragrance.)

Wonder Oil 3 table spoons (Includes a medley of Olive, Sunflower Seed, Wheat Germ, Sweet Almond, Sesame and Jojoba Oils Enriched with the lively citrus scents of Grapefruit, Lemon and Orange)

*These measurements are not exact except the Jamaican black castor oil, I eyeball everything.

I'm still toying with the idea of adding horsetail extract and avocado oil to the mix next time
 
I ended up not relaxing yesterday because SO got home late and was very tired and I knew I would be up all night tr immune and deep conditioning and felt bad he kept dozing off. I really don't like doing my hair the day before school because then it's crunch time and I can't bs
 
Just relaxed, currently deep conditioning with aussie moist mixed with red palm oil and and unrefined raw honey for a hour with my hot headz conditioning cap
 
I'm actually following the directions now instead of doing two increments of 1 minute and 30 seconds. Last time it scared me and I heard popping and smelled something burning. I thought it ruined it, but I'm safe. Now I do 3 increments of 45 seconds. The second time I heat it up its just the right amount of warmth while heating it up every 15 minutes
 
I am so happy to be back to see you guys.. on the other note.. my hair is still falling out, but doc says "Let's get the thyroid under control then we can deal with the hair loss, new found acne and tiredness"... Pray for me..

I am still in good spirits. Like all dogs go to heaven "You can't keep a good gal (dog, man) down :) "

I hope everyone is in good healthy and in a good place in life.

One love

I hope everything improves with your health.
 
Hmmmm..........so for about 3 weeks now I've been contemplating giving Dr. Miracle's products a try. I bought the follicle healer deep conditioning treatment on the weekend but only got the chance to use it yesterday.

To sum it up in one word and nicely. That product is AMAZING!

Now my 1.5" of NG was underprocessed last relaxer so now I have about 5 different textures working with. Normally when I wash DC and air dry, my NG dries hard, this product made my underprocessed hair, my NG and my relaxed hair Soooooooooooo soft, it smells great and is definitely a keeper. I'll be using this 2x per month until my NG starts coming in more i will then use it every week.

My hair truly feels conditioned, soft and smells great. Oh I forgot to mention the tingles and that lasted for a good 15 mins maybe more but next time I will time it.

I don't do product reviews but I had to come in this section and rave this 1.

I'm happy to hear that you are in good spirits. I hope your health follows suit.

:bighug:
 
TOM is here so I will do my best to keep my grumpiness to myself. I get overly critical hairwise to others, including myself.

OAN I tried the SM jbco leave in for a twistout tonight and I'm in love! The smell right now is giving me a headache, wonder if I can fix this..

SO and I were at a farewell dinner tonight and this random woman had no shame burning a hole into the back of my head lol. SO must've liked my hair too bc he kept patting and touching it. I think to rub it in her face :lachen:
 
I spent all of yesterday finger detangling my hair. All, as in 9am-10pm, with a break for dinner & STILL only 7/8 done. My sister said I should have just used a comb but I feel like the finger detangling has been more thorough and gentle than a shower comb would be. I seriously thought I got out a good amount of the shed hair with my first wash/detangle but NOPE. I have enough shed hair here to to make wigs for a fleet of black Barbies!
 
So I got my hair dyed 9 weeks ago and about 2 weeks ago I see a few grays starting to grow back in around my edges and at my roots. It's only literally a few, but I detest gray hair. A part of me would like to start dying it myself so that I can do it more often instead of always going to my stylist but I don't look forward to the mess it will make at home. Hmmmm, I already made my appointment to get the color retouched in 3 weeks which will make about 12 weeks total. If I continue to let my stylist do it and spare myself the mess, I'm gonna have to start doing this every 8 weeks on schedule.

Your suppose to do every 4 to 6 weeks anyway
 
Saw one of my classmates today. She is white. I've always known her to have medium brown colored hair. Today I saw her and her hair was bright blonde. Of course I asked her about it. She said all she did was use sun in and take her kids to the beach all the time over the summer and naturally got her hair blonde. I think she looked great. Made me wonder if sun in works for dark dark brown or black hair to lighten a few shades. I wouldn't try it, but maybe someone is interested.

My brother used Sun In wayyy back in the day... His hair was basically orange lol.

So it REALLY depends on what color you're looking for.
 
I am going to have to cut like 2 inches. I had a class mate comb my hair out and take a pic and their is a hole (gap in my hair). I'm so pissed but I don't play with my ends looking funny.
