Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I have to find a protective style that works for me but takes less time than twists. I tried a roll, tuck, pin bun thing. Midweek co-wash, I had what felt like millions of ssk, sometimes two or three on one strand!! Ugh.
 
Just realized Sally's carries some really crappy hair tools as far as combs and brushes go. I bought a paddle brush and comb from them, both were terrible! As I was trying to wrap my hair with the brush I noticed broken off ends in the brush. And the comb which was a wide tooth rat tail comb, kept catching and breaking my hair. Needless to say, I will not be be any combs or brushes from them again.... Nope... I am G-O-O-D!!
 
Goodness! Where will you be buying your hair tools?

Curl Rehab works better as a leave in. I'm mad I just figured this out when I got to the end of my jar. It's only a little bit left :/ my hair feels so good right now
 
did some neat flat twists lastnight. used ORS smooth and hold pudding on my ends then rolled them up on small white permrods. nice wavy curls this morning. humidity is crazy. hope I don't poof too much. hair appt friday, yes!

i'll be M&Sing nightly until friday.
 
I'm so lazy...had all this weekend to braid up my hair and didn't do it. I tried one and decided against it. I refuse to pay someone to install braids.
 
That WET hair brush is the bomb on wet hair. It glided to my hair so well it felt like I was bald. I had to touch my scalp to see. I'm 6 weeks post relaxer. Definitely keeping it because it would have been some resistance with the wide teeth comb
 
I will thoroughly M&S tonight and redo my flat twists, I'll probably only do two tonight, the should carry me over until my appt. Friday.
 
My scalp has been itchy since my install. I think it's the product she used while cornrowing, it's petroleum based.
 
I just racked a denam brush through my hair to get a puff and, I didn't care about any breakage. I just want it to lay flat, its not growing fast and its breaking anyway, might as well be satisfied with how it looks.
 
I cannot believe how slow I am sometimes. Usually, I find new treatments and products that few others have heard of but this time around, it took me a few years to even try Shea Moisture souffle' and even my daughters had jumped on that bandwagon. I liked it for a few months and then, not so much because it felt waxy (shea butter) and built-up. L-rdie knows that I've tried various shea mixtures from store-bought to homemade and my favorite was by Wonder-something and sold at Wal-mart. Smelled like baby powder and they sacked it. Womp, womp, womp, woooooomp!

Soooooo, now I discovered SM's JBCO leave-in conditioner and OMGERSH!:love4: That stuff calmed an irritated scalp where I have 3 eczema patches...or something. I've been debating off and on whether to just cave and get on the JBCO bandwagon (an old one, by now). Welp, as my SM JBCO Leave-in has like 3 tsps. left, I went to Sally's and got the Mango & Lime and jumped into the pool . Now, I've used Indian castor oil before - the one that is red and smells like roses - but it was SOOOO sticky and greasy and plain WEIRD, leaving my hair both oily and dry-damaged feeling. I kept that bottle for about 5 years and still had a lot left. But even with M&Lime's JBCO not being purely JBCO but a natural mix of oils, it's got enough in it to make a HUGE difference like SM's. My hair is loving it! It's surprisingly non-greasy like petrolatums or other Indian castor oils. My scalp is healing and I'm in LURVE.

Anyhooo, this long arse post about JBCO....I ordered a Sunny Isle Extra Dark. Can't wait to get it. Then, I'm going to stock up at Piping Rock because they have an 8 oz. for 9.99 and I can get two at 17.99, which is a steal! No-salt JBCO. Only question, I wonder if it's imported. Anybody know? Either way, I'll try it because I like their vitamins and it's supposedly made in the same way. I'm going to be making my own SM JBCO leave-ins with Fructis or similar. I might transition with this stuff and braid up all year long.
 
My scalp feels dry and itchy, but if I add anything to it my roots might revert. I just straightened my hair 2 days ago...

Maybe liquid gold oil will soothe my scalp. It's starting to get cold and my scalp rebels when It's cold
