Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[LadyRaider]

Yesterday I went to Mr. Splashy's Water Bootcamp, so I had to wash my hair to get the splashes of chlorine out!

I used Shescentit Eucalyptus Mint Shampoo and then I used the new Pomegranate Conditioner. I did not leave it in very long. I wash washed it out and then put a bit back in.

Probably didn't need it since I left the conditioner in, but I added a quarter-size of of the Shescentit Coco Cream Leave in (see a pattern here?) Then I sealed with a bit of that brand's Jojoba serum.

Braided my hair up and curled the ends for bed. I didn't use anything additional for the braids, which probably means I won't get much hold.

This morning my hair is sooooooooooooooooooooo soft! My goodness!

Subscription is just about up. Not sure if I want to renew right now or not

I said I will be on the boards til I reach my goal, but school is going to get the best of me and I might not need this type of distraction.

Maybe I will come back with some sort of big reveal or something *shrugs*

Go to youtube and learn to trim; it's less stressful.

This has to be the best week ever. So many gates and locked threads, so little time.

DIY braid extensions are diffucult.

A friend of mine helped me figure out where my problem was. I am going to try again this weekend.


Adding this to my list goals.

At least I am conditioning with AO WC + aloe vera juice + evoo + rosemary essential oil + wheat germ oil all under my cap. *sigh*

Two months post as of August 9th. Can't wait to relax and get a fresh cut in the next two to three months, maybe even in the next four months if I can hold out. I think if I stay positive, I'll be waist length. My bangs still need to grow out though. I'll definitely post pics then regardless of my length since I didn't post pictures with my last relaxer. I just think the growth that I get with every other relaxer is more picture worthy since the difference tends to be more noticeable. I'm trying really hard to visualize myself beyond waist length but something negative always gets in the way. I wish there were tips for LoA and how to attract things quicker.

Got my bee mine curly butter all is good with my hair now.

Somebody mentioned Henna for coloring the hair red. I just feel like it's going to be too messy

I'm not sure about that one..

Myjourney2009, not sure how you're doing it, but the toughest part is getting the hair to the base...and doing it w/o pulling your own hair. I don't know how you're doing it... (Are you wrapping the hair around your hair? Or are you just holding it behind yours?) I use the latter method and find it so much easier. I'm not very good at explaining...but I tried once to do it in this post. Don't know if that adds to any of the info you already have. Hope it doesn't confuse you more.

ms.tatiana, don't think I forgot that you owe us a pic. You know you could always just put her back on...when you aren't pressed for time and take a pic. Why won't you let her shine and be great?

 

[LadyRaider]

Nonie,
Your man did us all proud in the end! Sniffles!

(Just saw the last Harry Potter movie this afternoon!)

My sisters ex husbands family sent my niece home with a box of just for me. Telling my sis it will make her hair easier to manage like they do her hair. I don't think they have evee heard her yell so loud. How are you trying to relax a 5 yr olds hair like she evr ask them to do her hair.

And here is the front

What I notice about my hair is that it already has natural highlights. Especially in the front

My hair used to be a bit more sandy when I was younger.

Lol @ this conversation with my mom:

Me: Mom I need you to go with me to the salon tomorrow to make sure they dont trim too much of my hair
Mom: (long pause) So you want me to go to jail?

I tried a way that I saw on YT and I still am having trouble.

I am going to print out what you posted and read it over and over and over..... again. There are a lot of steps and this is fairly brand new for me.

Thanks for this.

ETA:I sure do wish the pics were clearer *hint hint*

@ the bold. OK, if I can figure out how to make a video clip showing what I tried to demonstrate, I'll do a demo for you. Need to figure out where I put my extensions. I had to box away a lot of stuff I'm not currently using and don't know if they were part of that mix. If I don't do it soon, remind me. I'll try to find some hair today or tomorrow...but knowing my head, I might forget so nag me if I do. Myjourney2009

 

[divachyk]

Some days I wish I could a quick co-wash like many other members but my hair was be like psssssh, I know you didn't It would cop an attitude and just tangle up for the heck of it. I will be honest though, I'm kind of interested if my co-washing abilities have changed since I've got a good trim. I wonder if my hair still is tangle prone :scratchch: I'm just not in the mood to test this out tonight.

Take your time, I'll remind you by next Fri if you havent done one. It will still take me some time to perfect one enough to tackle my entire head.

I tried it and it was easier than the other ways I saw on Yt. I still had trouble holding it close to my scalp so they would look neat.

I do like the "no knot" look better so I cant wait till I perfect one.

Ladies - Birchbox is my new thing; learned of it through the make-up forum. Okay so I received my BirchBox today and got some cool samples. If you're interested, drop me a PM your email address and I'll send you a BirchBox invite (getting my hustle on). You don't need my invite to sign up but if you sign up under my invite, I get BirchBox points that can be used toward future purchases; not sure if you get any kickbacks. Membership is $10 monthly for what they market as high quality samples. This month was my first shipment and I received:
1. Caudalie Eye Cream
2. Fix Malibu Exfoliating Powder Wash
3. Number 4 Hair Mask and Shampoo
4. Zoya Polish in Pandora
5. Hair Twistband

Never heard of these items but I will use them. I'm not a makeup buff but this will help me to try out neat beauty items (hair, nails & makeup) without busting my budget.

Yeah, I think my hair might be highly porous. Therefore, color might be my friend..just not bleach.

And shame on EllePixie for having me thinking her hair got that red by henna all by its self She went through hell and back getting that color!

I think i'm sold on red as my next hair color

Soooo.... I don't have to use a ponytail holder to attach a phony bun? This is a game changer!
