Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[tapioca_pudding]

I took my hair out my big bobby pin to add my mid-day shea butter fix (lol). My coworker sent me an IM that said, "WOW your hair looks like it's growing down your back..!!!" I hit my dougie in my chair lol. It feels SO short to me but it felt good to hear.

I don't remember my hair being so curly. its almost if i have a a new head of hair. I remember my hair was pretty undefined and type 4 looking when i first did my BC (see attached) now it looks more like 3c hair.

does this old pic of my hair look like the same hair i have now? it looks duller and its really textured in the front. I used to want to relax my edges because my edges were so annoying.

now my hair is so much smoother,the curls are chunkier and it lays flatter now. Could it be from the better quality products I use ?

Never thought I would like co-washing but VO5 Kiwi Lime Clarifying conditioner is turning into a believer!!!!!!

I remember trying this wayy back. It reminds me of an oil moisturizer (not my fav kind, I prefer water based ones). Smells divine though

I have come to the conclusion that WNGs are not for me. My hair has been constantly tangled for the entire 1-2 weeks that I was doing WNGs even when I was detanging every day. They looked ok but just on the surface because the knots swarmed my crown area (which is a different texture and is prone to matting) by the end of the day.

Yesterday it was the most tangled it had ever been and I don't know why cuz I used extra slippery conditioner and detangled for so long before styling, gently of course. I had to wash my hair again a few hours later and it took me 2 hours to detangle that time. I got so close to setting up an appointment for a relaxer. So I'll be wearing it straight for a week or so. I need a break.

That's probably a combo of scab hair them and now the result of a good regimen I don't think you hair type changed (unless you have a baby it happens temporarily them comes back to norm) its now more moisturized
You'd be surprised what a little ps and tlc will do

You might need a stronger holding product like Eco styler to set freeze the curls

Wow. I'm like less than 2 inches- 1 1/2 inches away from BSL. I thought BSL would be my stopping point but now, since I see my shrinkage is no joke, and I have a big arse head, I guess I will be aiming for MBL. Maybe even WL. Whatever length that compensates for my big arse head will work.

 

[leiah]

Got glasses for the first time in my life. The ones i could afford are not cute and i think i have to wear my hair down with them.

 

[TheMenAllPause]

I have more hair then I have arm length. I was flex rodding my MBL hair and had to get creative.

 

[JosieLynn]

less than a month away from my 3 yr nappaversary!!!!! feels surreal lol

 

[Missjae09]

I'm just wondering if there are any long haired medium density ladies out there! It seems like EVERYONE who posts photos, videos, or blogs start off by saying "I have THICK/DENSE hair"....nothing again those ladies just want a little diversity. I want to have an idea of what my hair MAY look like when I reach my hair goal. ijs.....

 

[Killahkurlz]

Sounds wonderful lol

Once I stop protective styling, my hair stays the same length. Add heat into the mix and I start losing thickness. PS'ing to my final goal (waist/hip/tbl) but after that will be wearing my real hair and saving the wigs for special occasions if needed. At the final goal I don't mind if it stays the same length but I need to figure out something to maintain thickness, likely rarely use a flat iron... but at that length who needs bone straight hair all the time?

 

[pre_medicalrulz]

Sigh... I don't wanna wash my hair. *tear* I have to detangle, wash, protein treatment, wash, DC, wash, & then detangle again. I'm tired just thinking about it. *tear* But I'm entering almost 4 weeks w/o a wash & my scalp is in so much pain. *tear*

I searched "Hair growth with" on google and the following came up:
- coconut oil*
- weaves
- castor oil*
- biotin*
- braids
- monistat 7
- wigs*

I've starred the ones I use. Doing quite a few things right..

...or bandwagon-y.

 

[nlamr2013]

This shea butter mix has got my twists feeling lush! I have finally realized I really need to heavily moisturize twice a day I think.

Uhhm lol but that sounds glorious. I never even thought about one day running out of arm length

as I always say, "big headed beauties unite!"

I thought I had fine strands; until a few months ago. It seems once I stopped tex-laxing my strands thickened up.

The sad thing is my hair is at SL And shrinkage is a mess.

I guess I'll continue to wear wigs until my hair is APL so I can get my hair to hang.

 

[Bun Mistress]

Since this unintended haircut i am liking short hair. Also i have more curl than i thought. Maybe im not 4b

 

[myronnie]

My hair is super healthy!! It's crazy how much more resilient natural hair is..my relaxed hair was just so hard to keep thick and healthy.

12 weeks post hair will not stop me from going to the gym … Gotta do a Beyonce pose in my mirror to remind me why Im still trekking it to the gym

This!!!! So many women will choose their hair over their health. I don't know how many times I hear, " I don't want to sweat out my hair" or " I can only walk slowly so I won't mess up my hair". I have never heard of anyone dying from a jacked up head. But thousands of women suffer from or die from heart disease caused by a lack of activity. I'm very much serious about my HHJ, but my health will ALWAYS take precedence.

Interesting. I tried Hair Dew while I was relaxed and hated it. I didn't see what all the hubbub was about. Maybe that's why. erplexed

 

[DarkJoy]

Only thing I find disheartening about my natural is the lacked of curl definition. Sigh...

Glad im spending the summer in PSs. Was kind of sick of twisting nightly.

My curls started popping after i started using millcreek keratin with Giovanni's slapped on top. They didn't pop with GPB at all.
I use Millcreek several times a week. I switch up between keratin , biotin and henna conditioners

I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y

 

[Nix08]

I found a Conair mini curling wand in the clearance bin at my grocery store...I love this thing thanks to the poster up thread that turned me onto these things

HanaKuroi and DarkJoy I second the sentiments about millcreek...I'm relaxed but I too use the keratin, biotin and henna and love them
