Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[MrsJaiDiva]

Unless you are starting with blonde hair you won't get red hair. You will get highlights and lowlights in the sun.

Lol, that's all I'm looking for. A nice Auburn color to give my current dark brown some Pop. I used to Love reds when I was in my 20's, so I wanna go back to that in a way that won't have all my hair shedding out...like it used to do when I'd Ferria at home...

I think i have a problem....i was sitting next to a lady in church and hair was so thick and lush and it was straightened so when she started shouting she starting flipping her hair back and forth and all i could do is stare at the fullness and shine

I guess it's time for a hennindigo session. *sigh* It's such a process. I think I'm going to henna my whole head and just indigo my hairline. I hope my hair and I keep to our agreement and have no troubles. She's acting so nice and feeling so wavy these days. Be nice, baby.

When I first started growing my hair in March of 2010 & I was right above APL now its 2012 & I am right above BSL. I do get trims every 3 months, but I don't think my hair is growing the way I want it to. I'm going to change a few things I want mid-back length by next summer.

Time to go back to the drawing board on growing my hair.

ms.tatiana, may I ask why you're trimming every three months?

Last night, I had my first try at yarn twists. Of course, when I was more than half way through, I figured out that I should start with braiding and then go to twisting. I've never done any braids, cornrows or twists with added hair or anything, so I didn't know. As I watch tv over the next couple of nights, I will re-do some of them. Don't think the twists can withstand a full wash, but I have some braid spray in the bottom of the closet that I'll give another try.

Since it didn't take that long, I may keep this first set in only for a couple of weeks.

My hair stylist does it. I usually wear a weave for 2 months and then get let my hair down for a few weeks and when she presses it she trims. & now that I think about it the trims are really setbacks. How often should I trim?

If there's no damage, no trimming needed unless you're wearing a style that requires you have it like a bob or Halle Berry cut.

I figured as much. Well I know not to get my ends clipped anymore. I just got them clipped in Feb & then in May. Ughhh I'm going to leave my ends alone now.

My henna/indigo order is still days away. No problem since I just put in these yarn braids.

ms.tatiana It sounds like she is cutting off all of your progress. Example: I sarted Jan 11 with CBL hair. Now 1.5 yrs later I'm almost waist length even with having a Nexxus promend set back. Maybe invest in a splitender and only trim when needed. There is so set schedule for trims, just as needed

Cannot wait until sept 1 and I get this weave taken out!!

Ughhh! I knew something was wrong because my hair was growing but she just kept cutting it. I think I won't see her again until the end of the year. My ends are healthy tho, they have a nice shape and all. I won't cut anymore.

 

[pinkness27]

Ms. Tiki What did Nexxus promend do to your hair to cause a setback?

 

[Ms. Tiki]

pinkness27 It glued my healthy ends together. I had to but off about and inch to separate all of my ends.

My bang area is just taking off! I remember when it didn't even come down to my nose, now its SL. Does hair try to even itself off to all be one length? My bang area has been getting more than half an inch a month for the past few months.

I washed my hair today after the InStyler fail. The curls felt so loose I freaked out, and it was so easy to comb I thought I had heat damage But when I came out the curls were still there, just hanging slightly lower. and no tangles....

I DC'd all day just in case anyway... But I think my hair likes heat...?

omg.... I used the sample, but it only lasted me like a day or two. I bought the Tresseme split remedy and I hate the way it makes my ends feel so hard and rough. I was thinking of going back to the Nexxus pro mend, but now I'm weary.

 

[Arian]

I find it odd that my hair responds better to water and an essential oil than it does to a spritz that has a lot of 'so called' goodies... hmmmm

 

[pinkness27]

I threw out the handwritten note and card from hair trigger elixer and I felt kind of guilty about it lol but I hate clutter I needed to get rid of some papers.

It was for me after 6 months and that's why I relaxed.

What hair styles did you wear ? Protective styling has been the way to go for me. If you ever try again use braids, sew ins, buns and scarfs until you figure your hair out. I am 17 months post.

I want to start steaming my hair again under my steamer but I can no longer stand to sit underneath it. In all the years I had it, I never got use to how hot it is under that thing.

I had two people tell me that my hair is getting long. My hair was in a bun at the time, so this made it extra I think I suffer from hair anorexia which is sad because I'm just SL+ LoL.. Dunno what's going to happen when I hit BSL. I think I'll think my hair is long when I'm able to make a fat, messy bun on top of my head.

I'm going to try to rollerset this weekend and see what happens. I got some Sabino and a new leave-in.. Can't wait to see what happens!

I've been, without realizing it, protective styling lately. I do my hair on the weekend, then during the week it's up in some type of updo/bun. Ends tucked. At nite, bunned in a satin scrunchie, ends moisturized (sometimes lightly baggied if I feel like it). I think I'll add my sulfur oil back in the mix and really get some growth/retention for the 2nd half of the year If I make APL before my 30th bday next May... Imma act a complete fool. I'mma swang that ish and hold my ponytail the whole nite.

Don't come asking me for hair advice, and then go double check what I said with your hairdresser. Then come back and tell me that what I told you contradicts what your wacktastical stylist was taught. Then why did you ask me in the first place!!!!!???? Smdh...

My face has been breaking out in cystic painful pimples and I just now made the connection to the energy smoothie I've been drinking over the past week. It has a ton of Biotin erplexed .. I should've gotten the clue when I noticed body hair comin in all Sasquatch-like. At least my face shouldn't take long to clear up once I stop ingesting the Biotin.
