Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Random hair thoughts:

  1. While I am relieved to be free of feeling compelled to get retouches (the way I did when I was relaxed), I miss having long hair that is my own. That seems to be a recurring feeling of mine this season. Glad I have a hair length goal to keep me going. :)
  2. I wonder if the Naturalicious box of products that I ordered will have me as hyped up as a lot of its reviewers. I really, really hope so! Regardless, I'm glad to have something to look forward to. Can't wait to test those products out once they arrive.
  3. I'm glad someone told me to learn to LOVE taking care of my hair and enjoy it, like it's a blessing and privilege to be able to care for my hair. I needed that perspective. It's a good paradigm shift. So different from "Sigh. I have to do my hair again" is the sentiment "I get to do my hair! And I'm blessed with the means and health to do so! Thank you, Lord."
To becoming a more patient hair doer. :)

@KinkyRN,

Will do! (I should be receiving the box of products early this upcoming week.) Once I clarify my hair and try the system/products, I'll share about my first-use experience. (It can take weeks of use to get a line's or product's full/real effect.)

In the meanwhile:
  1. Stephanie informatively reviewed one of the products here: http://cebelamour.com/2014/10/01/naturalicious-no-mix-rhassoul-clay-cleanser-review/
  2. Here's the company's link to the box I ordered: http://naturalicious.net/products/ooolalocks-hair-box-kinky-coily-edition. The page includes reviews and discusses in detail the products in the box. I believe one of the reviews contains video.
  3. Here's what's on Amazon from Naturalicious: http://www.amazon.com/NATURALICIOUS/b/ref=bl_dp_s_web_9108751011?ie=UTF8&node=9108751011&field-lbr_brands_browse-bin=NATURALICIOUS
This video lets you see all of the steps/products: http://naturalicious.net/pages/how-to-use

Here is a YouTube video review:

Blow out died over the weekend. Applied some EVCO and did some flat twists with permrods, I now have some really pretty wavy curls. Was going to make an emergency appt for tomorrow but I think I can wait it out.
 
@Harina, so how did you use Panthenol? I've never heard of it, but a friend was just complaining that her hair is thinning and asked me for solutions.
 
Random hair thought: I bought a new comb for detangling, no one told me that the longer the hair, the bigger the comb...because it works soooo much better than my wide tooth, smaller sized comb. I can't describe how much easier my hair is to detangle. It's almost like using a pick instead of a comb. I just wanted to say that if detangling is a trial - try a new comb. It worked wonders for me!

I pop a couple a day.

To be fair I also used ORS fertilizing temple balm day and night on thin areas.
 
I want to protective style for one year and don't know which extension hair to choose for braids/twists. I'd like to get the African one because they say the quality is very good.
 
Almost every last one of my HG products from a few years ago has been discontinued or reformulated. It is so frustrating! I look back to when my hair was perfect and healthy, and realize that all but one product that I was using is no longer available, or no longer the same.
For me, its not that easy to rebuild an entire regimen, including replacing the products.
 
I got the WET brush. I hear people raving about it, including naturals. I used it and I didn't feel like anything was tugging. It actually felt like shedded hair being released and felt good. I saved the hair in the brush and it looks like mostly shedded hair if not all shedded hair but I didn't want to be that crazy about it (still on the brush waiting to be thoroughly inspected lol)
 
Got re-inspired by a Y-Tuber to go back to straight-up simple aloe hair/scalp/face conditioning routine: blend aloe scooped from the leaf with oils and egg ... add to hair; rub scalp and face with the skin...soooo soothing! Nothing goes to waste. lol
 
I just ordered a virgin Malaysian LF wig that I thought would be below bra strap length for me. IT's actually at the top of my butt in the back. I just wanted something a little longer that would hold a curl. Well, I definitely got longer! :lol:
 
Been wearing two braids for the last few days, hair appt next Friday. I refuse to do my hair myself, no time for any setbacks. I am determined to get to SL by March. I will redo my braids nightly after I finger detangle and add coconut oil to my edges and scalp. No extra manipulation over here.
 
@whosthatcurl The brand is called WET brush. I just bought it from Marshall's, so you might want to check there if you're interested.

I typically use a wide tooth comb and a smaller comb to detangle on wash days and primarily finger detangle during the week. My detangling sessions have been nightmarish lately so I'm willing to try something new.
