Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Tamster]

This wig has made me terribly lazy. idk how i found time to do my hair every few days before this! lol. let me not slack toooo much tho

 

[JFemme]

I have been using Mill Creek Biotin Condition for the past two or three condition washes with some organic honey mixed in--(mornings after sulfer/Ghe treatment). I like how this conditioner immediately makes my hair thicker and feel stronger. This is really good stuff. Wow.

I lub this duo, shampoo & conditioner..

Is that a new pic Ms. Bliss..

Imma have to ferret one out now... if only I can figure out how to do so on my ipad... lawd..

It has been 6 years since I put a relaxer in my hair. It's hard to believe that the time has flown by so fast.

I don't miss touchup days. I don't miss the transitioning stage; don't miss those first few days/weeks of shock as a new natural nor all the initial experimental stages of learning my natural hair but it all was a necessary part of the journey.

I'm also happy that I've inspired my daughter to BC and learn something new about herself. Of course I hope she remains natural but it's totally her decision.

I still have absolutely no regrets on my decision. I am both happy and content.

I'm gonna have to try the shampoo too.

ha ha I took that pic back in November 2011. I really dont like just being a screen name but at the same time I dont want to show my face. So I found a nice lil balance.

Yes, join me and go and ferret one out

i want to sraighten my hair soooo bad but im scared. i have not worn my hair out in almost 2 years

 

[Aireen]

Haven't been in this thread for a minute. I remember I used to have to post in here like EVERYDAY. Anyway, I trimmed my hair recently, no more extreme V and I'm MBL again. I'm gonna overnight pre-poo cause these products need using up before they start expiring. Happy hair growing, y'all.

My hair has taken a backseat lately. So much going on in my life that I can't even focus on my hair. Plus, I have been so mentally drained and exhausted that my hair is the last thing I want to fool with these days.

However, I think I am going to give a quick co-wash tonight, but I'm not going to make the mistake of doing so if I realize I'm too tired. Because if that happens, I will probably not be gentle as I will be impatient and eager for it to dry.

 

[smwrigh3]

my hair different. I dont know if it because I blow dried it before I got it braided in Nov and Dec. or maybe because I used my demen more often. but my hair is way more managtable but there's no damage. I dont know.

I'm only 4 months into my transition and I'm itchin to chop some more lol....maybe not

2 weeks ago, I went ahead and chopped more off of the nape of my neck. You never realize how much hair you have on your head until you see it in your hands

I wish I could just fast forward 4 more months so I can see more of my natural texture.

I just cut my hair about three weeks ago, and it is already growing so much! I am so EXCITED. I just decided to pull a few strands down and see and it is to the bottom of my bra strap instead of being to the top like it was three weeks ago. I don't want to jinx myself, but my natural hair is thriving! I am too excited for words!

I started using a really, really skinny elastic for my ponytail. A fake ponytail would have to be hidden by a fat scrunchie or something and would show a sudden increase in fullness, unlike real hair. You can wear it half up/half down, with an obvious part across the back, too.

Of course, if someone thinks BW can't have long hair, they'll just figure your weave game is tight

I do use the skinny elastics. I hate scrunchies. I'm not so much worried about proving to people that it's real, it's just that I've always thought those long ponytails looked so ridiculous, so now I feel like people are looking at me like when I wear my hair like that. I'm going to get over it though b/c I like my hair up and off of my face.

I kind of feel the same way when I wear my hair down (when it's straight). It does look like a weave (to me) and I do feel like people are looking at me like "girl you ain't foolin nobody"

Of course it could all be in my head

I'm finally ordering my hair steamer tomorrow after I get off work!!

 

[Raspberry]

[HoneyA]

I can't believe it's basically six months already. By December 2012 I'll be halfway through my transition.

 

[Raspberry]

Embrya turn on your pms..

 

[Embyra]

Raspberry Its not off ill be waiting....

Welp...I decided to flat iron my hair tomorrow. I'm nervous...my flat ironing jobs don't usually turn out well, but we'll see how it goes. Heat on my head is a rarity...so much so that I attempted to sell my flat iron at one point with no success. I wanted a change for a minute or two, so I decided to give heat straightening another whirl. Doing an overnight dc in preparation right now. Ah...ill start mid morning and take my time../be patient...maybe it'll turn out okay.

No matter what I do, twists will look scalpy on me. I need to realize this.

I lightly blew out my hair last weekend and put it in twists a la empressri. It lasted pretty well the whole week but I detangled my hair last night. Finally got nice big hair that way.

 

[MissMyssie]

Deep conditioning my hair and browsing the forum... *hums to herself*

 

[LifeafterLHCF]

Im tiring of wigs but can't seem to do anything else.I want to be extra cute this coming week since it is my last week at my job..I got my wig in the sink soaking so hopefully that will give it some life..I will never do a number 2 again it looks so dead on me..number 1 is my baby for now on..

I want to start wearing my real hair to work at times at the new job.I may do a test run with a flat iron when I take off week after next just to see if it will stay straight and how long it is and if I will feel too self-conscious with the length..I need to find someone in my area that does really good sew in's so I can have another option but then I know it will be more expensive due to labor and parts..

 

[Chaosbutterfly]

My hair feels so strange.
Like wires. erplexed

 

[choctaw]

mixed some glycerine with Crisco for my hair and used it on my skin instead ... nice

 

[missjones]

I think I might know why my scalp has been so itchy lately. I've been using sm curl enhancing smoothie and ecostyler gel. Both have glycerin

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

Can one go from shoulder to bra strap in one year? i really think i'm on my way. I think this no heat thing is really showing me some great retention!!

 

[NJoy]

Wore a curly bsl wig tonight and wondering why I'm growing to super lengths again? erplexed

 

[Evolving78]

[/b]Can one go from shoulder to bra strap in one year[/b]? i really think i'm on my way. I think this no heat thing is really showing me some great retention!!

i am praying on that!

oh i got that hair bone-straight! sitting here with neutralizer on. i guess i will rinse it out in a few more minutes and wash one more time. i will be rolling my hair tonight even though it is almost 1am. i don't care. the kids are gone, so i can sleep in late!

 

[Lissa0821]

I am going from washing twice a week to once a week, so far so good. My hair will get limp towards the end of the week. So far I have been protective styling, giving myself scalp massages and baggying my ends every other day.
