Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[curlyTisME]

Beware! At leastfor me dropping the comb proved be a mistake. Being a normal to heavy shedder lots of hair stayed trapped in my fine 4c. The ssk and broken hair was insane. No comb and finger detangle only contributed to a set back for me. I know it works for many but... keep an eye out.

I will be sure to stay on the lookout for any issues, thanks for the warning!

I'm going to install kinky twists myself this weekend. I found "jamaican" hair that's similar to Marley hair.

Hopefully, I can keep the install in my hair for at least 4 weeks. But I'm transitioning to natural and the frizz is real!

i hate using clippers....there is always hair all over the place. no matter how well i clean up...there are always little hairs everywhere.

i am trying to mold my hair in the way i want it to go...using the clippers here and there..trimming this and trimming there. i hope it works out.

I am mad at the new aphogee 2-step protein formula. I preferred the old chalky stuff.
My hair doesn't get as strong anymore. Boo..!

@PureSilver

Here is the post I was referring to.

Heeeey....what'd I do?

@Sosa

Absolutely nothing. .....

@PureSilver was asking in another Thread, if anyone noticed any changes in Apoghee 2 Step. Performance, Consistency, Smell??

And I remembered reading this and wanted to direct her to your post.

I'm bored! HAIR-wise......................

Today I tried detangling a loosened loc by using my fingers only instead of a comb (and conditioner, of course) and that made so much difference. Instead of a frizzy, bushy mess I have coils and I've been telling everyone
I HAVE COILS AND THEY'RE TOO CUTE!!

Yes! I just started a braid out routine. After washing and dc, I add leave in and hair gel. I do four braids. I let them air dry for two days, my hair takes long to dry.
Not only more moisture I realize. At take down my waves and bounce be like .

What do you do with the 4 braids if you leave the house while your hair is still drying?

 

[spacetygrss]

Does anyone else notice that their hair seems to hold more moisture if you let it air dry while in braids? This may become my new drying technique. This morning I washed my hair before work so I put it in a ponytail put 2 braids in the ponytail and then wrapped the braids around the base to make a bun.

This is how I let my hair dry 90% of the time. It takes forever for it to dry, but the result is well-moisturized hair with great definition.

@IDareT'sHair YES MAM! Girl I didn't even use it in my hair, I took one good look at the new formula analyzed it and decided then and there it wasn't the same. I called the company today and the rep said they replaced 1 ingredient to a pharmaceutical grade from the previous cosmetic grade. (I can't even remember the long ass name of that ingredient) either way I'm light weight mad because I was not convinced that the product is gonna perform the same way but also when he stated that they haven't received any complains so far about the performance.


I miss the old stinky runny stuff and I'm gonna call them back.

@PureSilver

I'm getting ready to open mine and look at it.

It is my 1st time trying/buying without having it done at the Salon.

So, now I'm curious. I'm glad I only picked up 4oz's.

When you have to do a protein treatment it really extends wash day. Sigh

Prepooo..wash
Cleanse. .wash
Protein treatment. .wash

Tell me about it. However, I've been able to cut things down by combining two steps into one - I will use my protein conditioner as a pre-poo on dry hair. As a matter of fact, I'm currently sitting with a head full of an Aphogee 2-Minute-Silicon Mix Pearl mixture under a cap.

My hair is super strong and resilient. I flat ironed it over and over, multiples times in one setting, and it is still healthy and curly. The only thing I have to worry about are knots and tangles, which I how to eliminate through frequent washing/removing shed hairs.

 

[Lilmama1011]

Taking care of the hair in braid extensions seems easy enough. I say that now until I take it out and comb it and see how much breakage I get smh

 

[Lilmama1011]

I got the Shea moisture dry oil mist (Tahitian). It had my scalp shiny like I greased my scalp lol

 

[Lilmama1011]

My new growth be looking juicy!

Wash day has begun, sitting with the mirabelle plum biotin mask by CD in now sealed with EVOO. Trying to use up all the excess junk I've accumulated. Then I'll wash and condition, DC, blow out and twist.

What do you twist your blown out hair with, and does it give you build up? Thanks

I apply product only to my ends. I've been using the organix coconut quench butter and seal with an oil. I remoisturize and seal every other night, and scalp massage with a light oil nightly. No build up from products yet.

Why did this man let me go out the house with all this ish in my hair?? I was so mad, I couldn't even form the words to convey all the emotions I was going through, omg. Y'all know that's saying a lot.

But my twistout was fantastic. Damn you, Wetline and As I am twisting whatever for not mixing properly!

I'm probably wrong but so far I think argan oil is all hype. It's great for my face but I haven't noticed much for my hair. I just want more oils that are thick and amazing like castor oil...

 

[freecurl]

I think I'm the only fine haired person who loves thick deep conditioners as a leave in and it makes my hair look thicker.

 

[fatimablush]

me and my sis went through our container bins in the garage to take a few bags to Good Will, and i found my old hair journal that i kept when i first went natural...for the first time a few years ago. i was looking for this. i detailed what products i used, what worked and what didn't work. so of course i am going to repurchase these. you don't know how much money i spent and the frustration i went through. that is why i always went back to relaxing.

i also wrote how my hair hated shea butter..what it did to my hair. what did i use off and on these past few years...shea butter...my hair loved avocado oil and butter the best...i blew dry my hair and flat ironed and it always reverted back..i found it..i am so happy..now i can think about staying natural...i am so happy i found it...you cannot imagine...

SO did an excellent job fixing my hair where i messed up tapering my twa...the stupid mail man rang the door bell and i took a chunk off..luckily it was behind my ear.

@GettingKinky I put on a beanie, or an cute hat. Sometimes I wear them as is. I have a little hang time.

 

[snugglez41685]

I want more length but I really love my twist outs! I need to get it together and this humid weather is helping me choose more protective styles.

I think I'm the only fine haired person who loves thick deep conditioners as a leave in and it makes my hair look thicker.

With fine hair, I'm noticing that how it looks is very dependent on products. So, when I use something thin, my curls are elongated, but kinda anorexic-looking. When I use something thicker, the curls look all juicy, Yes, they shrink a bit, but idc.

Wash and go I did on my texlaxed hair last week! Love it!

 

[naija24]

I've spent up to $450, but it wasn't often and it wasn't my money.

'I'd rather keep the cash and grow my own hair.' <---- what I said after my last weave.

(no offense to you @naija24, my former transitioning buddy, just talking ish, lol)

No offense taken. I like straight natural hair but this summer is a joke. I would like to just have weave for now and not think about doing my actual hair for a bit until maybe the end of this year when I hope to be neck length and I can start straightening my hair again. I want to be CBL by April and dammit I'm sticking to that goal.
