Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I never shampoo after using aphogee two step, if u decide to you need to use a very good detangling or moisturizing shampoo such as CON if you can get the original formula. Tressemee naturals moisturizing shampoo is great in both natural and relaxed hair. A product with great slip should do the trick. Also you could try boiling oats and flaxseed, strain cool and use as a moisturizing conditioner. It gives great slip; tried and proven.

You are welcome.
I shampoo as well before using Aphogee but I ensure I have a bottle of CON moisturing shampoo original formula on hand before doing the 2step. The moisturizing conditioner that comes with the kit IMO is not very moisturizing so I use something else and j make sure to let it sit with a plastic cap for at least half hour, I do longer periods but half hour is my minimum, hair feels very repaired and strong afterwards.
 
I'm going to relax my hair either Sunday or Monday. And then I'm going to the salon and having my hair cut from hip length to bra strap. I'm still deciding if I should add layers or not.
 
I've never ever done a hot oil treatment on my hair. I'm interested in trying it out and see if my hair likes it.
 
Blowout going strong. A week old tomorrow. Maybe it'll survive Made in America this weekend in Philly.

Im currently baggying my ends, my hair is feeling super dry. I will co-wash after I return from the gym tomorrow morning, then DC for a while.

I now have a vanity in my room, I got the idea from this site....how did I live without one all these years?! I can't believe I would stand in the bathroom for hours at a time doing my hair smh.
 
Since I did my final final cut ( August 31), my hair is FINALLY acting right again :clap:!!!

I've been online eyeballing different natural hair products, and I just cannot deal with these prices!! At first I'll reminisce about my former pj ways, but as I keep looking, I start remembering that I've spent the last year and a half with barely any products at all. I was looking at Camille Rose's line. I could spend $15 on a hair butter, or I could go in my kitchen, and throw together a cocoa butter hair butter that I know works for my hair for free. Hmmm :scratchchin:. I could spend $22 on a natural hair gel, or I could use the free FSG I have in the fridge right now :drunk: :lol:

Guess who's going to be making their hair butter tomorrow? :giggle:
 
So I tried it before I knock it. I'm not perfect at it but ice tried it enough to now know that my hair HATES IT!!!


My hair hates anything that it is rolled on. Perm rods, flexi rods setters.......they all cause breakage. I see too many strands after taking them down and YES I am gentle with it.

I've concluded my hair ❤️❤️ being straight. I don't get so much hair loss with wrapping. Anything that is gonna give me curls causes breakage but my face wears curls well so what do I do..... I'm gonna get a curly weave or wig, j say weave.
 
Forgot there was some QB heavy cream in my stash. Used it last night. Cant believe I forgot how much my hair likes this product. Once it sinks in my hair feels so m oisturized and not greasy. Might have to re-up.
 
I feel you @julzinha I need a second income. I need to get a portable standing hair dryer before the year ends.

If I knew how much my hair would love weekly DC treatments I would have such health strands a long time ago. My hair has gotten so much better since I started a month ago.

That is why I'm always on the look out for cheap and effective products, buy most of my products from Sallys, and will only utilize a sale if it's at least 40% off. I've become very good at looking for deals because my hair is a bit of a product elitist and doesn't like a lot of things.
 
Started taking down some of my braids already. Mostly from the back of my head since I have work in the morning, but I really missed my hair. Takedown wasn't too bad since they've only been in 3.5 weeks; only a bit of matting. The real trials will begin when I move to the front of my head, the hair at the back is just so much more stronger for some reason smh...
 
Guess who saw 2 strands of hair in the comb this morning. I wanted to scream because In all my life I have NEVER experienced this. I did a DC yesterday morning mixing Dr. Miracles follicle healer deep conditions treatment with aphogee 2 min reconstructive and another Dr. Miracle deep conditioning treatment. Plastic cap my head for 3o mins and used my blow dryer for heat in the last 5 mins. The thickness and strength is unbelievable. I'm in hair heaven.
 
Had to give myself some impromtu layers in the front this week due to neglecting my highlights. Definitely a happy accident. Now my braidouts and twistouts frame my face better. And I don't gotta pay some stylist who'll just end up manhandling my coils.
 
I really want to participate in some of these Labor day sales... But I know the next holiday is right around the corner, so I'll be good and not waste money when I have enough products at the moment.

I do need to finally get my hair braided though... time for a month long protective style.
