Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[NikkiQ]

Got caught in the rain coming from my promo this evening so I had to cowash. My hair is loving me for it!

 

[NeicyNee]

Sooo no one warned me how addicting this HHJ would be. I'm loving seeing my hair transition into a stronger, healthier state. I wish I could leave my hair out for a while but the PSing is working so I'll be weaving it back up this week lol.

I am pretty upset right now. I just realized today as I was asking a question in class that I am taking the wrong pre-req for nursing. I need Texas govt and I am taking US govt. The last day to add or drop classes was last Wednesday(1st day of class). Tomorrow morning I am going to go to the Admissions department to see if there is anything they can do for me since Texas govt has only met 1 time for this session. I email the instructor to inform him of my dilemma but if I dont get this class I wont be able to start Nursing School Aug 28 (((( I am soo scared of what I am going to hear tomorrow.

I admire ladies who have the patience to set their hair on rollers or flexi rods. My fast self was there admiring prospurr4 and curlybeauty's flexi sets and felt "inspired" ...Well my fast self after like 15 min got only 2 in, and my arms were hurting I was like "*** dat" and took a nap

It ain't for the faint at heart.

At one point, my arms were burning so bad, and the rod was taut like I needed it to. I literally rolled the hair on the rod so darn fast and secured it in record breaking time. I took a seat on the couch and took mid-way pics

Thank goodness for the spray bottle

My mother was admiring an older church member's short curly gray hair. Mom asked the lady for her styling secrets. The woman said she washes her hair daily. My mother was surprised and said her daughter (me) does the same thing.

I am no longer an alien

aloe vera gel plus oil = excellent moisturizer

Okay. I found a product that I loove. It is called l'oreal EverSleek Sulfate-Free Humidity Defying Leave-In Creme. I twisted my hair with this stuff and it really does smooth the hair shaft down for twists. I used it on dry (4b) hair. Anyone else tried this stuff? I got it for 4.99 at CVS. I was thinking of trying the entire line. I also used it in hubby's hair (he is growing his hair out too).

I saw a commercial for that today. I heard sulfate and silicone free and it piqued my interest...

I don't know if it's because of my own progress or the hair length I'm observing on others this year but my definition of "long" is changing. Even for real life, it's changing. I'm also judging over-processed hair. I swear I'm becoming a hair snob.

 

[nappystorm]

My progress has been pitiful this year.

My beauty queen cousin's hair was hanging down her back last weekend. It didn't move once. Now she says she stopped relaxing, and she would definitely be heat trained as she always wears her hair straight.

But nothing? No movement? My hair frizzed and puffed all big. Granted I'm not going to be as good at styling my hair and my hair isn't constantly straightened so it might not know how. Even when I had my hair professionally straightened for my graduation last May... it puffed up a bit.

But I'm just thinking... That hair ... the hair that I have always coveted... was that weave or a half wig? Why didn't it move? Why didn't it puff in the slightest?

She and her mom had their hands in my shoulder length hair too. Was that a weave check?

/catty off

Oh well. Next family gathering is also in the summer. In LAS VEGAS. I'm not even going to attempt to straighten my hair for that one. That'd be stupid.

Good luck, Winona!

Thank u I got in.

My sorority sister keeps encouraging me to go natural. I mean she makes some good points. It wouldn't be too much of a change since I don't wear my hair straight all the time.

I dunno though. When I initially decided to texlax, it was the lesser of 2 evils. Maybe I can just continue to decrease the number of times I relax per year (2 times instead of 3)

 

[Evolving78]

i am in that kind of mood today to tell people to jump if i see them standing on ledge. (as far as relaxing is concerned) there are a lot of folks on FB trying to wear their hair straight in this summer heat and complaining about it. if you feel a relaxer will make it better, i will buy one for you! even i know it is crazy to straighten your hair and not except reversion in this crazy heat/weather. it is 80 degrees right now and it just stopped raining! i don't think it is wise to try to rock some bone-straight natural hair. but hey what do i know right?

ok rant over.

I wish that my box braids were as pretty as some of you guys'. They are better for length retention for me but I can't do them without my hair looking...


ratchet! erplexed

So last week I accused my mom of stealing my bottle of leave in conditioner. Seeing that it went missing after she had left my house. She couldn't believe I was accusing her of stealing my conditioner...fast forward to today.......SHE STOLE MY BOTTLE OF CONDITIONER...LHAO at the act Caught her red handed when I asked her face to face then saw it sitting there on her dressing table once I got to her house. Ladies DO NOT tell when you stock up on product or show anyone your stash

Nothing exciting to report, just babying my scalp until my TU on Wed. Oh how I hope the textured is evened out.

 

[ms.tatiana]

My new install has been in for 4 days so its time to grease my scalp.

I also want to buy some Bio Silk Hair gloss because it works really good on this curly weave I have in.

Haven't done anything to my hair over the past weekend because I was in bed with a crushing sinus headache. So today I decide to wash and dc, only to be reminded how skimpy my layered, straight ends look. I REALLY need to get my hair braided down or something so that I won't have to look at these ends.

I love my hair when it's dry but wet? Not so much. Shrinkage, why doth thou torment me so?

 

[LushLox]

Damn how nice did it feel when he kissed me and ran his hands through my freshly washed and conditioned hair!

 

[rririla]

I FRIKKIN LOVE THIS THREAD AND ALL U LADIES ON LHCF.....whenever I pop in I know it's going to entertain me.....

 

[shasha8685]

The place where I wanted to buy some natural hair products was closed and I'm definitely not getting on Hwy 280 during rush hour just to go to Whole Foods.


I guess that's a sign that I don't need to buy any additional hair products...

Knowing my luck it'll probably turn into some sort of nightmare!

started to twist my hair, but then i got tired of doing it.

maybe i'll continue soon...ish...

 

[Evolving78]

my hair looks big to me in the mirror until i take a picture. then it looks like some short Florida Evan's afro. i guess it will take butt length hair in order to have a decent size fro or i would have to blow it out.

 

[fatimablush]

i am just going to stick to my Elucence products, my one other leave in by Alter Ego, a couple of othert things and my moisturizing combo from Zipporah Beauty.

my hair is rebelling so bad..i can't even be cute..

it seems i will be doing oil rinses again...this florida heat is drying out my hair!

i don't know what possessed me to experiment.

 

[SuchaLady]

I havent washed my hair is like 10 days. :/ I gotta do it tomorrow. I also have to work out. I am just so tired after I get home from work.
