Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

About to use carol's daughter black vanilla shampoo for the first time and deep condition with Pantene truly natural deep conditioner which I have used before and love it. It had slip and my hair was soft. But the only thing is, it has cones. But whatever, it agrees with my hair and I clarify once a month so....
 
Sigh I'm getting a little breakage from my buns, puffs and pony tails despite the fact I wear them super loose. My edges went from apl to SL in the back:whyme:but luckily the front is still growing back from the great puff massacre of summer '14.

I know this is also because I stopped babying my hair once I reached MBL and went AWOL with the styling. Luckily it's just my edges....they don't count right? ;) Now I'm going back to the basics and putting my hair away until christmas. I will also be oiling my hair every three days and only washing weekly. Hopefully I will be grazing waist length by then.
 
I really wish hair didn't grow so slow!!! I want long thick hair (not in my genes) and I want it NOW!

I'm tired of this back and forth life of set backs and products trials. I just simply want it to grow fast long and strong.
I feel you so much on this. It's like why can't my hair just be super thick WL already. I've had so many setbacks and back and forth with my hair, I just want this time to be the time that it happens. I'm at the point now where I get so paranoid about even the smallest of potential setbacks, like when my aunt started cornrow ing my hair and I stopped her because I saw some breakage and now I'm sitting here paranoid about the little hair I loss.

Girl u have no idea how peeved I am about the many setbacks I've had. I am committed now and focused on health rather than length. My edges are filling in nicely so I have to stay consistent with that. Can't wait to get MTek and MTG on my hands again. @julzinha are u relaxed or natural

I'm natural, I recommitted myself to my hair health in March with the focus being on health, length, and thickness. I had to get over my fear of cutting, and not doing search and destroys and cutting out knots and tangles has helped my hair just be overall so much healthier along with a huge increase in protein. I used to love MTG, but the smell made me want to run from my scalp.
 
But they have a great return policy. Try it, if you don't like it return it.

Really? I didn't know this! Thank you for telling me!! I'm a real newbie to having loose hair and never even frequented Sally's before I loced my hair. I want to do my first ever protein treatment but there's too many kinds to choose from and no real way to know which kind would work best.
 
I'm curious though, with loc'd strands how do conditioners penetrate hair properly. It boggles me, does the hair get really moisturized/condition. Please inform me.

You're welcome. If you are a newbie to protein, I definitely say start with Aphogee 2 min and work your way up to products such as Nexxus Emergencee and Aphogee 2 step. I've used Joico K-Pak and Aphogee 2 min, they are both good reconstructors. I personally love Aphogee 2 Step mixed with Neutral protein filler, it is a VERY hard protein treatment but it works wonders for any breakage and I only do it every 6 weeks.
 
Scalp is itching like crazy. It's been two weeks and four days since my last wash. Appointment Thursday. Can't wait, I'll definitely be getting a scalp treatment. Still rocking my two goddess twists in the meanwhile.
 
So, I definitely messed up. I've colored my hair not once, but twice in the last 6 months. Now my hair is super porous except for the first 2-4 inches depending on the section. My ends are also splitting a lot. I trimmed back to between SL and APL. I'm just gonna let the rest grow out and trim as I go. I'm not even mad, I know I got greedy after I saw my hair respond well to the first color application.

Girl, I'm still like that and I think I will be forever hair conscience. When I got my box braids I couldn't focus on watching tv, I was watching her out of the corner of my eye and seeing how much breakage I had because I know when other people handle it, they don't handle it so carefully. I actually went off on my friend a little because she was forcing a comb through my tangle. She knows I don't play that crap with my hair
 
I made my own DIY unpetroleum jelly a couple weeks ago. It turned out really well. I've used it as a sealant for a wash n go (under gel), sealant/styler for twists, and sealant for a braid out (also under gel); and every style looks and feels good. Staple.
