Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[NJoy]

*gasp* I got my NEW steamer in. It looks much sturdier than the 2 that I killed. Oh, it's ohn nah!

Incognitus - for ME, once a month is perfect. You may have to do trial and error to see how your hair responds but mine seems cool with it lol!

 

[daviine]

I don't know why I like to look up how others use a certain product right before I use it, or while I'm sitting under the dryer with it on. So weird.

 

[AJellyCake]

Wowwwww!!! It's been TWO YEARS since my last relaxer. :reddancer: :reddancer:. I can't believe it's been that long.

Two years ago, I never thought I'd be natural. Now here I am, thanks to LHCF!


I need to post a hair journey update thread....

ETA: And this is my 300th post! Lol.

My hair has been OK but the last couple of months it's been really dry, I don't suppose the winter weather has helped. Just rinsed the conditioner and my hair is noticeably softer.

I'm home for Spring Break and my mom has scored some hair goodies for me to try out! Two deep conditioners by L'Oreal and Beautiful Textures, the Chi Keratin Mist, and organic coconut oil. Contemplating how I should test out these deep conditioners tonight!

Why oh why does CON argan oil shampoo have to smell so bad? I love it so much, about an hour ago I was tempted to buy it while I was in Walgreens, then I actually had to open the bottle and sniff it to come back to reality.

Have company over this weekend so that means wash, DC & style w/ my clipins in the morning.

Screw that. I decided to just pop on a wig. Way too much work to wash & DC @ the moment. Lol

Can't wait to relax on the 25th of this month....trying not to get to hyped

[TwoSnapsUp]

Going to try a acv rinse today. Want to see if I get good results.

 

[naija24]

Hyacinthe, how long has it been since your last relaxer?

 

[LifeafterLHCF]

My hair is a mess. It's thicker than it's ever been before I relaxed when I was natural for 5 years. I don't know if it's the silca or what. It's a good thing but it's bad since my hair is like dreading up a bit. I have been washing it and conditioning it but I guess I can't do 2 braids on wet hair again unless it's relaxed. I don't even want to worry about length anymore just health. Hopefully when I retouch in May which means I would have been 8 months post it will be a bit better.

So i received the results of my Live Curly Live Free hair analysis. I was wrong about everything I thought about my hair. Instead of fine, low porosity...my hair is medium with fine characteristics and normal porosity. I'm also using products recommended for coarse hair, which is interesting because they seem to work well for me. I also thought i had heat damage from being a heat transitioner but I don't. My hair is normal/healthy. Yay!

Oh...they also told me not to use products with heavy proteins. I can use a light protein once in a while. Since my hair is strong & healthy a heavy protein would be overload. That's why my hair feels like straw when I use heavy protein.

I think i still want the Komaza Analysis too

 

[southerncitygirl]

the lco version of the loc method is the best thing that has ever happened to me. my hair is smooth and moist from root to tip. i don't have to do it daily...in fact can get away with doing it 1-3 times a week with no ill effects. i use less product and there are no soul glo marks on my pillowcases and when i touch my hair there is no greasy residue. i'm going to get my hair flat-ironed the middle of next month and i am curious to see what i retain. doing a hardcore protein treatment with my komaza protein strengthener tomorrow.

 

[daviine]

southerncitygirl Fantastic!

I was reading your thread yesterday where you were looking for a moisturizing mist. What did you finally decide on? Do you think it's the LCO method in general or the products you use?

LCO seems to make more sense than LOC to me, but I still haven't found a way to moisturize my hair from root to tip.

Going to Mexico next month but stopping in NY for 2 days. I hope I don't sink the plane with all the hair products I plan to buy.

I didn't know ORS was changing their name and look, I saw the new labels in the dollar store and thought they were knockoffs.

This time last year I was literally crying about my awful unwanted haircut. Now, I have learned to take care of my own hair (self relax, trims and maintenance) and my hair is growing and only two inches away from the length before it was cut. My hair is not the way I want it to be, but it is much better than what is was!!! Thank you Lord!!!

 

[pre_medicalrulz]

I want long hair too but sometimes enough is enough smh

 

[SuchaLady]

My hair is underprocessed I'm more than likely just going to leave it. Doing a corrective is probably more damaging than dealing with it. What do you all suggest?

 

[SugarRush]

I can't wait to cut of these ends, so tired of transitioning

 

[SuchaLady]

After a further inspection I think I will just leave it. Whatever.

 

[MaintaintheSexy]

Currently under the dryer doing a protein treatment with Aphogee's Two Step. I finally got a trim two weeks ago. Prior to that I haven't trimmed my hair in three years. I was so bent on having longer hair that I held onto dead and split ends. After the trim my hair looked and felt so much healthier. My hair is collarbone length. I am aiming for APL.

Lol If you can still manage it then I say leave it. I did a corrective once & it turned out great.

 

[TwoSnapsUp]

I need a nice looking, non ratchet looking wig to throw on for a few months while I baby my hair.

 

[DivineNapps1728]

This curly sew in is huge, but I think I like it & I'm pleased that I self installed.

 

[hnntrr]

UGHHH this hair is all in my faceeee. I feel so conceited slinging it around cause it constant decides to chill right by my eyeball. I am excited to grow my hair out long though. Yaaaaasss.
