Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[NJoy]

They called me "long hair don't care" at my second job last night. *blushes furiously*
They've been commenting on my fro,and all I've gotten is positive comments. One of the girls even told me she wants to grow hers out like mine. Another natural head keeps calling me her natural hair idol. Lol.
My hair is only apl,and even straight,I put curls in it,and the body is out of this world,so it falls slightly below my shoulders.
They started whistling and cheering when I walked in,and I'm like,
. Lol. I think my shrinkage blew their minds! Yassss!

That's SO awesome! Stunted on 'em. Go girl!

Still running around in last night's overnight DC under a wig. *sigh* Sorta hoping any tangles just melts away without my hair turning to mush. I was planning to henna but I reeeeeally don't feel like it. Why do today what you can put off til next week? I'm tired. Wore myself out talking about it. Hey! It's a lazy, rainy day today. I'm entitled to veg.

I'm gonna go swimming on Friday. Not sure what's gonna happen with the hair.
I initially planned to coat it with shea butter, braid it in too two French braids and then wet it before going in the pool.
I ordered Aubrey Organics Swimmers Shampoo to get the chlorine out after, but how am I going to be standing up in some public showers trying to wash my hair. Especially with the build up of shea butter my hair has from the week. The lather is going to look like filth. And my friend is going to be with me so I can't have her wait for half an hour whilst I wash and condition my hair.
I thought of rinsing my hair after and then going home straight away to shampoo my hair. But sometimes I put too much shea butter in my hair and I'll probably have to go home with some icky white coating on my hair.
If this chlorine messes with my hair one time that is IT.

I really want to do my hair but I hate washing my hair when I'm sick. Despite science and logic wetting my head make my cold worse.

I have come to the conclusion that my hair needs some sort of heat to behave and look decent. I used a curling iron this morning for the first time in many many months in an attempt to have a decent hair day and my hair feels better than it did yesterday. I am going to try rollersetting on sunday when i wash and see how that work for me.

yes, you should try roller setting. it i better for your hair and you can air dry, i finished a set and my hair feel soft and silky.

i will try my best to keep this set up. i like to wear my hair curly.

HanaKuroi

Yep. No surprise tho.

 

[Nix08]

I think I'm going to try wearing my hair out (at least to start the day) more often

My hair gets so dry if I don't properly steam....

 

[NJoy]

I'm ready for my kids to go to bed so that I can wash this DC out of my hair. *sigh* What time is it anyway?

 

[Lurkee]

I wonder if it is possible to grow hair from TWA to SL and longer without the need of any protective styles. I am yet to see someone who did the BC and grow their hair without the help of braids/wigs/weaves.

 

[tapioca_pudding]

Thinking about doing mini twists for a few weeks.. gotta figure out the best method. *off to youtube*

 

[melissa-bee]

It's nice to see my hair actually looking like a bun today instead of looking like a distorted piece of something.

 

[Lissa0821]

I haven't used any heat on my hair in the last month or so. My hair is feeling and looking so full, which is a great thing since I have fine hair.

Denimpixie on youtube (questfortheperfectcurl.com) is one person that comes to mind

I am at shoulder length (just below the top of my shoulder blades ) stretched and I did not use braids/wigs/weaves, but my growth rate is not impressive: it has taken me ~18 long months since my last relaxer (8 months since I cut off my relaxed ends), but I did it. Now I just need to get it into a bun easily and I am at my hair goal .

 

[lana]

I grew my hair out with buns only. But I did not wear them 24/7

I think I'm mid-back length, but kinda scared to claim it....I want the fullest part of my hair to hang below the middle of my back...instead of the tail. I guess I'll claim it soon.

I put my hair into a big long braid yesterday and my husband said that it looked beautiful. I told him I got African in me!

 

[cutiepiesensei]

Already tired of my hair being short I've been taking care of my hair much better, but it is a little depressing seeing so many ladies on this forum with really long hair and i'm not even SL yet......

you took the thought right out of my head. I just walked past my coworker with bsl hair (in excellent condition) and then walked past a mirror and looked at my own and was not very excited.

A few things:

1. Can't WAIT to wash my hair tonight. Washed it Sunday, and I just feel better when it's cleeeeeeean.I'll do a co-wash and do a niiiiiiice scalp massage with olive oil afterward, and it leave it on for a bit. I haven't beeen spraying with ACV mix at the ends lately, and I can tell. When I flat-ironed my hair last week, it puffed up unusually quickly--that was probably because the cuticles weren't closed.

2. I'm a heat scardy-cat. Well, a self-application of heat scardy-cat. I feel like every time I put heat on my head, DAMAGE! DAMAGE! DAMAGE! ha! not true. I think I'll stick with my using heat once a month or on "special occasions" *cough* when the weather will be dry and warm for upwards of 4 days* cough*.

3. I need a trim. Like yesterday. It's going on my list of things to do...we'll see what happens.

 

[TopShelf]

Blah, I don't think I care for straight hair (on me) anymore. I straightened to trim my ends, and will wear it this way till next weekend, but ooooweee, I'm counting the days till I can wet my head , lol.

I'm definitely feeling this way. I like my hair blowdry straight and that's it.

for you.

The goal of my HHJ is to wear my hair out with pride and to stope wearing fake hair. Sometimes I think I should wear the protective styles until I reach my goal as it would help reach there faster but I don't like the way they look anymore. I love washing and playing in my hair too much

Embrya let me know how those smell. I remember wanting to buy those oils and I forgot the site. What do you plan on doing with them?

 

[cherrynicole]

Thought I was doing great growing my hair from ear length in oct 2010 to full collarbone length now after a BC till I saw a friend recently. She used to always have SL hair now she is 'swangin' at MBL. I was jealous of her length, she was jealous of my thickness. #hairenvy go figure!

HanaKuroi Im going to mix them into my eco styler and use them in conditioners i stick to the same products but i do get bored after a while with the scents so this is the best way of switching it up for me

I love the length and thicknesses of my hair these days. I can get away with inconsistent upkeep. Even if it gets to the point of unexcusable dryness, there's so much hair that the look can still pass as messy chic.

Did a failed bantu knot out yesterday (only two knots but they didn't finish drying)...I was expecting uniform waves but when it fully dried it just looked like a long mass of messy texture. I liked this look a lot better...very Lisa Bonet/90's grunge type of look. Perfect for my sense of style

My hair has been whimpering for some ORS Replenishing Conditioner. I recently fed it some Aussie 3 Min Deeeep Conditioner, but it could use a douse of protein. CVS wanted $7.99 for a bottle...bump that ishhhh, I bought the Pak for $1.80 Should be enough in the meantime.

And wth is my lavendar castor oil? Still waiting for it in the mail

 

[sharifeh]

I used the full aveda damage remedy line today for the first time. I'm impressed. My hair is dry now and it looks and feels very good. Soft and strong. My hair also responded well in the shower. I'm going to use it consistently and see how my hair responds over time.
