Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[allmundjoi]

I am tired, but made some flax seed cream (whipped shea and flax seed gel). I blended it really well. I will try it out tomorrow am on a wng. I hope it works-soft, moisturized hair w/defined curls. Either it works or ill be looking like a dirty qtip.

I sometimes add a tablespoon to my moisture dcs without any problem. Especially if I am feeling lazy and dont want to do a two step protein/moisture dc. My hair turns out soft and strong

Thank you!!!! I am going to give it a try and report back my results.

So my hair wasnt really feeling her normal awesome self after a dc session (partly my own fault). I examined my hair journal and I have done 3 protein treatments in 2 weeks. They were not heavy protein treatments but enough to make my hair not feel her normal softness. NOTE TO SELF Review journal BEFORE picking out a random dc

I had to be very heavy handed with my leave in and I am happy to report that my hair is feeling freaking awesome as it dries in preparation for cornrows

By the way I use about 2oz (4tablespoons) of conditioner to 1 tablespoon of protein filler but you should experiment with what your hair likes.

Decided to not do a corrective relaxer. I did a ponytail rollerset and my roots are pretty flat (the underprocessed area have slight waves but it's okay).

 

[SuchaLady]

So irritated with all of this. I need a new hobby. I am just about to add hair to the list of things that I honestly tried really hard to do and it just didn't work. I've wanted to start sewing for the longest. Perhaps I will start that soon.

^^^ Can't be mad atcha. I tried to make hair my hobby and I wasted money and hair wasn't growing. Now I just leave it up to the salon. Now working out is my hobby, including back to ballet and dance class.

I keep wanting to get back to sewing too!! I tell myself next year for sure.

 

[Curlykale]

crisco works. shhht. i won't say it again.

 

[cia_garces]

Thought 1: So my hair is growing, but between not having trimmed it in a few months AND not staying on top of moisturizing and just over all taking care of my hair daily, ain't no tellin' what kind of damage is going on in my hair.

Thought 2: I think I need to do a personal "Use Up My Stash" challenge. Not only will I finally figure out which one of the products I've purchased actually works in my hair, but I'll also take care of my concerns in Thought 1.

Am I wrong for not wanting to let my best friend in my head?? Granted she's natural too, but she has thin 3b hair. She ain't comin nowhere near my thick 4a hair. I'll cut her if she tried to use a fine tooth comb.

winona Thanks so much for this information. One last question how often to you use the protein filler. I am thinking every two weeks should be fine for me.

 

[SuchaLady]

I probably will start in the fall when school starts (a whopping 2 weeks from now ) but I loooooove me some cross-stitching!

Dear Enso,

About that twisting pudding....that I bought 16oz of, why did my lucious kinks and coils turn hard and crunchy when I applied just a teensy bit of the dayum pudding???? Why? *sigh* our relationship was going so well, I was loving everythaaanngg, until I tried that blankety blank pudding. *gives you the LOOK*

Said sincerely, while vigorously rinsing out said pudding,
Bajandoc86

chelleypie810 Crazy thing is I had just started working out after years of living a sedentary lifestyle. I really enjoy it but you will never guess what stops me from going some days And yes my hair flourishes with hair stylists too. I sorta roll my eyes at those "My hair stylist was jealous of me and chopped my hair to ear length when I asked for a trim" threads

^^^ Can't be mad atcha. I tried to make hair my hobby and I wasted money and hair wasn't growing. Now I just leave it up to the salon. Now working out is my hobby, including back to ballet and dance class.

 

[SuchaLady]

I am also going to start looking at how naturals lay down their hair. Apparently smoothing techniques for relaxed heads do me absolutely no justice. Im looking into ORS Smooth N Hold Pudding.

Had my very 1st hair dream last night. It was like one of those car commercials that only shows slow motion close-up features and details of the car before showing the entire vehicle. Instead it was a fresh rollerset just after the rollers have been removed but before the set is brushed or combed out. It's pretty funny thinking back on it. I guess I'm doing a rollerset today.

 

[divachyk]

-Last night I dreamed I self-trimmed and ended up with a Halle Berry short cut? WITW?

-I missed my splitender delivery yesterday (was at work). Upset that I overslept today and didn't get to the post office before they closed to pick it up. Now I must wait until Monday.

This will be my primary hairstyle when I reach MBL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xBw7vjWPtk&feature=channel_video_title

@SuchaLady - Everytime I watch her vids, I wonder why she has so many names?

@winona - I need to start back journaling. I'm such a fair weather person: when my hair life is good, I don't journal. When things are a mess, I journal BUT there's no history to read up on because I haven't been journaling.

@chelleypie810 and @SuchaLady - my hair started flourishing when I stopped obsessing over it. Don't get me wrong, I still have my moments but I don't concern myself with growth, just health. ETA: Growth in the sense of, length checking excessively. I use to length check like every week. Now I just length check when I get a TU to ensure I haven't experienced any unexplainable breakage. HTH!

 

[SuchaLady]

divachyk All of her names are quite funny. I know the Blenderella is from her makeup skills and I assume Lady Elle is her hair personality. And I am pretty sure Buildable Beauty is her entire persona put together because her motto is "beauty you can build on" just a guess though. I do agree it is pretty excessive.

Oh and I am about to weave my hair up. I need a break. And it will be my first stretch so I am excited!

 

[NikkiQ]

Okay I am just too tickled. I decided to do another set of Celie braids today after a much needed shampoo, DC and detangling session. While my hair was still damp, I put the braids in. Lord when I saw that one of my braids in the back actually hung a little past my shoulders, I ran out the bathroom to show the SO!

 

[chelleypie810]

divachyk Same. When I leave it up to the stylist, I don't have to worry about looking at my hair or dealing with it, which is what I used to do when I was younger and my hair was always in good shape. So its back to the old stuff for me!!!! Plus its so relaxing for other people to wash my hair

 

[winona]

winona Thanks so much for this information. One last question how often to you use the protein filler. I am thinking every two weeks should be fine for me.

The mention feature only sometime works for me so if I dont answer please PM so I dont ignore I am a BKT natural so I only use it 1 every 4 weeks interchangeably with other types of protein treatments. For example tomorrow I might use the neutral protein filler in about a month(when my hair starts feeling a little too moisturized) I might use an Ayuvedic or different type of light protein. HTH

 

[charislibra]

While waiting to see an adviser, I got the "How you get your hair to curl up like that?" I just told them that I use shea butter with no explanation of how I use it. A guy said he can't use shea butter because it makes his hair fall out. . The topic of hair seemed to just come out of nowhere. There was so much misinformation in being spewed, I was so glad to leave! "Hair gets used to what you do to it." A woman with micro braids in said that she was natural since 2000, tired of her hair, doesn't take care of it, and gets Dominican blowouts twice a year. Other women nodded and said it was good she didn't get a lot of heat on her hair. That same woman also said that she only wants them to blowdry her hair wet because she "doesn't want all that heat on her hair because it'll fall out."

 

[NappyNelle]

I need to find the energy to do my steam treatment!

 

[winona]

Sheesh I really do need to study but I dont feel like it.

I am so sore from my makeup workout this morning. I dont even want to move.

I took a 2 hour nap and I am still exhausted.

I am so glad I found LHCF

 

[halee_J]

Ok, that's it. I'm going back to simple, real simple. No more plans to straighten hair, no more talk of heat training. No attempt at new styles, no wigs, HW weaves LFs. No new products. Just the basics. Wash, DC, air-dry, bun.

 

[Kurlee]
