Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[moonglowdiva]

I was in the nail shop this evening and a young lady was sitting beside me asked me if I had "good" hair. I responded "no, I have good products." I have come to realize that God gave me this unique hair and I am the only person in the whole wide world that has it. Others may be similar but theirs is not my hair. It is up to me to learn how to work with my own curl pattern and care for it so I can give GOD HIS proper glory!!!!!

So.....I gave in and texlaxed my hair at 6months 3weeks & 6days.....i must say that I'm very pleased

My hair is FINALLY thickening up!!!

I can't wait to order my henna, after I move, so I can hide all of these grey hairs.

I need to get my henna/indigo on too. I've been ignoring the grays in my hairline but they refuse to be ignored. Guess I'm gonna have to show 'em who's boss.

ARHHHHHHH!!! my hair has been so friggin dry and i have been moisturizing and sealing. i hope i don't have a setback this winter has been murder on my strands but it hasn't been that cold just dry. i'll go to the hair salon for a dusting in the next week or so. i just washed my hair last night and will wash it again sometime btw tuesday - friday maybe that will help with the moisture.

I think I'm gonna stop trimming my hair. I cut 2" off over the past 6 wks. Looking at them now, I'm glad I did. My ends are thicker. Now, I need to focus on growing to TBL. I need to net a good six inches out of this year. I'll cut at the end of the year to shape it all up. I'm VERY excited because it's totally do-able!

I really need to start setting my hair friday night because sitting under this dryer is for the birds:/

 

[chelseatiara]

I my HAIR!!!! How could I have ever tried to change something made specifically for me!!! Its so wonderful and unique!!! I just want to !

 

[melissa-bee]

I can't wait until my henna is finished. Why do I have to go through all this. The only deep conditioner I'll ever need is AO GPB. End of.

I'm enjoying the best looking hair of my life right now.. a hair renaissance, if you will. It's been healthy and longer than this in the past but it's never looked this good.

I still refuse to condition/deep condition more than 10 minutes. I will not be moved.

lol I mean I might consider a coconut oil pre-poo if I'm gonna be in the house for a while, that's about it. All of that DCing for hours and hours or overnight can go somewhere. My hooded dryer has been gathering dust for a few years now.

Nexrastore needs to stop taking the BEEP i want to try that damn hairdew but they really serious with charging $22 for the SMALLEST bottle

I know what you mean though i deep condition for 30-45 mins when im under the dryer because i feel like once im under there i have to stay under there make it worth my while

but alot of the time i really cant be bothered

 

[divachyk]

I am back using oils and my hair feels great but I see why I stopped sealing and using oils before --- I get tired of feeling greasy. No matter how little I use, I just feel oily.

 

[Embyra]

hair dew ingredients........ Purified water, castor oil, olive oil, organic aloe vera gel, behentrimonium methosulfate (emulsifier), coconut oil, olive squalane, optiphen (preservative), cetyl alcohol

I can get all these online its time to bite the bullet and start making my own Embyra haircare coming to you soon

Wow IMFOCSD, over 6.5 months - congratulations! I have been stretching as long as 4 months and thought that was too long because of the stubborn new growth but since using Chicoro's moisturizing prepoo, moisturizing daily and using jbco to seal, my hair has been super soft so far.

I am tempted to stretch longer if my hair is still behaving this well in another 6 weeks. I will be 10 weeks post my last texlaxer tomorrow but it feels like I'm only 1 week post. Wish me luck girlie.

Grrrrrrrrrl, I've been workin' my Joan Clayton-esque hair lately!! a few bantu knots at night, and in the morning it's poppin!!

I'm lovin' it! Protective styling with a bun! t's gonna be a long (and moisturized!) winter! Still contemplating a sew-in late february...until April-ish. We'll see.

 

[chrisanddonniesmommy]

Just reordered my henna from Ayurnatural Beauty. I hadn't applied any to my hair since October. I miss it badly!!!

 

[BrandNew]

Still loving my Vanessa La Apple half wig. It's holding up well, getting lots of compliments. I want to buy about 2 more to reserve because I like it so much.

I've never had so many people ask me/compliment about my hair until I started doing braidouts

 

[Beany]

I am going to regret these chunky twists in the a.m.

 

[Iluvsmuhgrass]

I was told by an older AA lady that I had good hair. When I insisted that ALL hair is good hair she said,"No. You got good hair. You can get it to lay down. You got good hair, I can tell by the waves that you got good hair." *sigh* When will it end? The thing is... if it wasn't gelled down.... if it was wild and shrunken, she would have told me that I needed a perm or a heavy duty hot comb. *kanye shrug*

Doing clear rinse treatments/adding it to my DC is a permanent part of the reggie now. I need to buy more hemp oil.

So I accidentally left my extra wide curlformers at school this weekend and I did a wide set. I really like my extra wide because they give a looser curl

 

[IMFOCSD]

I am really loving my hair...it only gets better from here

Thank you i really want to try that jbco

That was my first time stretching that long..and the outcome was great...well i was actually supposed to be transitioning but i was experiencing too much breakage for my taste. I plan on trying again oneday.

And i will def wish you good luck

We have guests @ the house, when I got in the shower to wash my hair before doing the Aphogee two step there was no more hot water !I co washed really quick and DC overnight. sigh. I couldn't take the risk to do the treatment and not have hot water to rinse it out. I will have to wait until next week now...

Catching up on watching my subscribed youtube vids today.

I am so glad to see Hairlicious has an update and she is still relaxed!

Note to self loose hair for several nights is a recipe for lots of ssk's and don't do it on 2 week old hair..

Saw and article in Upscale magazine for Mizani Butter Blends...the article said that they changed the formula to "enhance the straightening qualities"...wonder if it will make my hair too straight. I like the texture that the current formula leaves me with.
