Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Evolving78]

I have 2 pages done. I have class tomorrow plus a 12hr hospital shift after class...I'll finish in class tomorrow. I'm just not motivated to do it right now.

I have a class I need to finish. I really just need to take the test, so I can move on to my next course. hopefully we can get our stuff done asap! When is your paper due?

I really, really, really want to return to Hattache' and purchase 2 items I've yet to try, since there would be no shipping fee

Hatian Black Castor Oil (unscented smelled best to me)
Shescentit cleansing conditioner

I can pretty easily resist the Bekura Mouse Tonga cream, Bekura Vanilla Whiskey soak, Anita Grant products, Hydratherma Naturals products, and more.

Today at 11:59pm but I need to have it done by 2:30 so I can come home and nap before this shift.

Ok you are giving me motivation. I have to take a proctored exam and I guess that's why I'm procrastinating. I maybe nervous, or feel like I need to study more.

Study and go when you're ready. I have to take my NCLEX this year and I'm terrified. But I won't take it until I'm absolutely ready. I've been lazy and haven't been studying like I should but I'm going to get my life together. Can't accomplish my goals if I'm not moving in the right direction.

I don't know where to stick this. I've only watched it on silent, but I love the idea of reducing SSKs via these spoolie-type curlers. And I love how she uses them at night to lengthen the lifespan of her twist-outs in a way that avoids the manipulation that completing retwisting at night would entail.

I DC'ed and baggied my hair and I was supposed to wash and style today...but it's now 11:30pm..not happening. I really should do my hair tomorrow but I honestly just don't see it happening either. Friday...definitely.

Anyway, my number 1 rule has always been not to do my hair when I'm not in the mood. SO there's that.

Anyone from Nashville, TN or know the area? I want to get some hot chicken (hair nutrition ) to help increase circulation during my week of inverting.

Operation Hot chicken was a success last month.

This time around, my hair and I enjoyed the added protein found in lobster rolls (2x ).

Despite the NE being cold and windy, my hair looked great for my presentation. Next up... the Midwest.

I really like the warmth and knowledge of the people on this forum.

I'm tripping right now: Styling and stretching my natural hair have been a struggle for me for years, and @Prettymetty 's April Style Challenge has led me to discover what could be a VERY SIMPLE solution to both of those issues, if it pans out:

Annie's Crimper Curlers
I ordered 4 6-packs from Ebay. I feel mixed emotions, and I don't even know how well these things are going to pan out! They could be a complete fail. HOWEVER, if it turns out that all along overcoming much of my hair struggles was a simple matter of using these little crimper curlers . . .

What ever happened to the straight out of Eden relaxer? I'm relaxing tomorrow I wanted to try it but I can't find it in any stores.

Well biweekly washes, it's been real but the princess has spoken.
Weekly washing is back as of right now.

@Sharpened, this made me think of you!

I need to get my hands on the Whole Blends Legendary Olive leave in. I'm in love with the rinse out conditioner. It has a faint scent and is severely moisturizing

Random but Jouelzy irks every dang nerve I have. Even my dog lily can't stand her.

Lily walked in on my watching one of her videos and she started howling and ran under the bed.

Does anyone use carrot seed oil? I've decided to give it a try and see if my flourishes.

Target now sells Aussie 3min miracle moist in a 16oz bottle. Just an FYI.

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

Processing caps, Silk Elements Pre-cleanse Scalp Treatment, Colorful Neutral Protein Filler, spray bottle, applicator bottle, rollers = $35.

If I wasn't out of town with an itchy scalp and breakage. Oh well.

Ya know...out of all these years, I've never tried straight carrot oil! Lately now, I like using blended oils and pomades.

I can't wait to pick up my new spice grinder tomorrow so I can finally grind up some hibiscus with ease. I hope it gets it fine enough...

I'm giving up my bonnets and scarves. Silk pillowcases from now on. I feel like the bonnets are affecting my nape. So bye bye.

Omg, I've literally come to the same conclusion. I am having soooooo many instances of affirmations that it's scaring me. This is big for me. Head ties stay in my arsenal.
I've decided to not use a head scarf at night unless I have my hair styled.
I feel like it helps to eradicate my edges and nape, especially when they're weakened by stress and elements.

I've been sealing my hair with glycerin based serum. Namely, It's a 10 Silk Silk smoothing balm. I added ACV after reading about a product that @YvetteWithJoy posted about. The name escapes me. This smooths and leaves my hair soooo moisturized!
I haven't been able to go a few days without moisturizing in idk how long.
Using this consistently has been a huge part of my regimen.

Sally's keeps sending me coupons! This time it is 20% off my entire purchase! I've decided to focus my energy on mainly 3 lines:

Jane Carter
Uncle Funky's Daughter
The Mane Choice

No more new lines.

By the way, Obia Naturals does nothing for my hair.

I noticed I don't have these nape issues when I didn't sleep wth a bonnet nightly. So by bye bonnets. Hopefully I like the pillowcase I ordered. I'm going to trial a few before I stock up. I don't think I'll ever wear a bonnet again.
