Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[hnntrr]

If I wash my hair tonight I have to deal with mucho shrinkage and rewetting tomorrow. If I wash my hair in the morning I have to wake up earlier than normal and diffuse my roots. I may just wash it, twist it up and wear a beanie tomorrow since I have to work anyway and its going to be snowing all day.

I haven't checked to see if I've gained any length from inverting, but my hair is much thicker, thicker enough to make my fine hair annoying to detangle. Guess I can't complain since my hairexia is real so yay to inversion!

 

[hnntrr]

Sometimes I wish I had different texture hair just so I don't have to m/s it at night when I am super tired and just want to go to bed in my beanie without putting my cap on.

Two weeks and my hair has build up, my scalp is quite sensitive and this cold just tells me to put my hair away. I already know that twists and braids with my own hair are a no-go because I end up with bad looking ends. I will stick to a loose bun for 2 weeks-or one, just the time to do the inversion method- then wear a wig. My sister is getting another one for me for Xmas hahaha so I'm ready to PS like CRAZY!!! I need to make it to full BSL by 2014 (Amen)

Ordered some Obia Naturals custard on a whim. I have no idea what Im going to do with it. Smh. Issues.

Still waiting.... Says it's scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. Ise can't wait.

I'm tired of having to retwist my hair at night just so it will look decent in the morning. I just want to go straight to bed. Oh well.....at least I have hair

I am sooooo glad I relaxed my natural hair. No more time on twisting/bantu knoting my hair.

 

[DivineNapps1728]

I straightened my hair so it would be super low maintenance while I decided on a protective style, but I'm facing the same issue I always do; I don't know how to style my hair straight anymore && I miss my big hair.

I am a week in with minimal reversion though so I'll tough it out in buns if need be.

 

[Lilmama1011]

I'm 10 weeks today and I am so ready to relax but I have the komaza lengthening serum on my scalp and and has sulphur so I can't relax right?

 

[Ravenhairedbeauty]

Despite how I felt in my earlier post my Bantu knot out came out so cute I can't complain it's worth putting the Bantu knots back in every night

 

[Ogoma]

I am really enjoying my 'no elastic' challenge. I have been coming up with some cute styles. So proud of myself.

Is it possible to be hair lazy and a roller setter? I love the way roller sets look, but I am soooo lazy.

 

[MsKinkycurl]

I no longer have scalpy twists!!! My spider leg twists are now normal looking plump beauties. I guess I must be doing something right.

i have truly been "over" trying new hair products for a while now.

so curls is coming out with a new blueberry edge control, that they claim has antioxidants. all i could think was "the hayell you need antioxidants on your edges for?" i can't with the natural hair product marketing game.

To grow those edges back

MsKinkycurl What are you doing to thicken up your hair?

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

As soon as I start planning to get a weave install, I want to buy up everything in the land.

 

[Tonto]

Got the comment "she's African and she got hair that long" yesterday. I'm not quite BSL because I cut my ends.
Once my hair is double of what my hair is right now, I will call it long.

 

[Ogoma]

Took down my updo and my hair is on point....... at the end of the day. Why does this always happen? Never on point when you need it to be SMH.

 

[ImanAdero]

I love having thick hair... But I washed it this morning... And yes I pinned 4 fat twists across my head for the day...

But WHY IS MY HAIR STILL DAMP?! Gosh man!

 

[MsKinkycurl]

Napp I don't have a hair thickening regimen. I've been trying to be as gentle to my hair as possible and have stepped it up in the last year. I've stopped all heat, use all natural products, mud wash, AO, TJ, ACV, kalpitone (recent), I also steam my hair in the shower everyday, prepoo with coconut oil and have infrequently used Njoy's oil.

The technique I used to twist was on an old bantu knot out, grabbing medium chunks around an inch. Also on my edges above the side burn area I grabbed a thin verticle piece to twist so there are no parts when I pull my hair back. Everything except for a clean side part are organic parts.
HTH

 

[MsKinkycurl]

I lost all my old pics but trust my parts looked like highways. Here is how it looks now.

 

[Tonto]

I feel like I rather have my hair lightly straightened than fully kinky. I admit that it's a bit easier.

 

[sunnieb]

Thinking of doing a braidout, but too lazy to put in all those braids.

 

[naija24]

My left foreline has thinned so much it's noticable now. So depressed. After dyeing it and failing at a texlax it gave out. My right side, much fuller than my left but thin still.

This is my left side. So uneven it's thinned and I some places receded almost a whole inch backwards. Some parts of my edges in this area is just skin. No hair at all.

This is like the biggest reason I'd like to transition to natural even though I know I do not have the patience to wait 3 years. It's not like you can have straight hair and transition withot spending a lot of money. Just really upset.

So I'm gonna give up heat and relaxers. Next year I'm gonna just do BKTs and not fuss with my hair anymore. I get we all want long hair but it shouldn't be this stressful. No other kind of woman on earth has to resort to all this stuff just to grow hair past their shoulders. I'm sick of all the hoops.

 

[ckisland]

naija24 , I'm sorry . Hair is frustrating as hell, and that's why some women cut to a fade and are done . You want to go natural and I want to relax. My hair's getting on my last nerve!!

So I accidentally made Ecostyler 10 strength flaxseed gel. I'm glad for the definition but some of my curls are fused together . I'll deal with it tomorrow .

 

[LdyKamz]

I'm getting so tired of trying to slick my hair back and having hard hair. I need to find something with hold, that doesn't make my hair hard and stays in place all day.

I really do like the pink eco styler. Haven't used it in a while because I couldn't find the large jars anymore. I can't remember if it made my hair hard. I think I'll revisit.

 

[TwoSnapsUp]

My hair feels.... I dunno, despite cowashing 2 or 3 times this week. Time for a d/c
