Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[LushLox]

I’m not fond of air drying. Does anyone just sit under the dryer to dry their hair anymore?

I’ve not done it lately but yes previously many times, I prefer it to blow drying. Because I do a week day wash in the evenings I don’t have enough time to completely dry my hair when air drying so I’ll have to revisit this. I’ll air dry to about 70% or so then finish off under the dryer.

I was sitting next to someone on the train today with amazingly thick and long hair but it stank, it smelt like she hadn’t washed it in months. Dude you can have the most beautiful hair in the world but if your ish stinks ain’t no one gonna be admiring all that.

Lesson learned today:
1.) When using fenugreek in any concoction, please strain. Do not think your Ninja is going to break it down so that it is easy to wash out.
2.) Wash out fenugreek with good ole shampoo before anything else or you will be still brushing out the gook when you are ready to style.
I'm tired boss!

*war flashbacks*

I've been having breakage something terrible!! I haven't had this much breakage since before I went natural. I've done 2 Aphogee treatments. I saw greater improvement with the second one but I still see broken hairs. It's my fault for being fass but I need this breakage to cease. I can't even post in the hair threads........I DO NOT want to go to the salon but I think I may have to.

You thinking about an Olaplex treatment? That is the only thing I would trust to be done in a salon for breakage.

I'm skipping my midweek wash today. It's been so cool here, so my scalp and hair still feel clean.

What caused the breakage?

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

I love the ease of short natural hair. After cutting for the third time, I have decided I'm not growing it out anymore.

 

[Bad&Bougee]

What caused the breakage?

I relaxed my hair when I was in a bad mood and didn't take the normal care and caution when I do a chemicals. I texlaxed so it's breaking off at the line of demarcation. I did not have breakage when I was officially texlaxed though. IDK what's going on........

Well, I'm not sure what she would do, I just want her to get it to stop. Could she do an Olaplex behind two protein treatments?

Or should I just continue to baby it on my own?

Give her a call and see what she says.

I would work on moisture.

Deep sigh.

There's a difference between annoying someone and hurting or disrespecting someone.

^^And at the same time, it's alright to have the guts to stand up for what is right. Evil only prospers when good keeps quiet. When the good people of the world stays quiet, evil spreads like a nasty cancer. Keep doing what is good and right. Payday is coming to everyone, good and evil. We all have to decide what kind of payday we would like to have for ourselves. Karma either blesses or it bites.

I've spoken up once. I can tell this is going to continue to rub me the wrong way.

 

[Bad&Bougee]

I will call her and she what she says. In the meantime, I will keep it moist (@shortdub78) and try to keep from going bald. Hopefully I didn't do too much damage. Thanks ladies.

Try infusing it with moisture with a good, highly effective, emollient DC or a different type of protein. Are you currently stretching? If so, that may be the cause of the breakage (the hair may not like to be stretched for longer periods of time).

My laziness this past weekend has led to me wearing a twist out this week.
I hope I don't regret it come wash day on Friday

 

[Lucky me]

Gonna do a twist and curl. It's hard keeping my hands out my hair. Wish my scalp would stop itching. Hell wish my whole body including my face would stop

 

[Bad&Bougee]

It's on your heart and seems to be causing some angst so you won't be able to hold your tongue long. There is no harm in speaking on it again - maybe this time they will get your message. It's a shame that people have to be so petty.

@shortdub78
I do....air drying is not an option anymore I have too much hair and with a leave-in conditioner and gel (and I might be a little heavy-handed )if I wait for my hair to air dry it will be time for my next wash day a week later. So Im under my dryer 2x on wash day, once for deep conditioning and a second time for setting my bun.

I did it yesterday and my hair didn’t dry hard and rough. I wasn’t in a style. I just combed it down flat to dry, so I could bun my hair. I will be going back to this officially.

 

[Lucky me]

Black Friday is taking forever to get here

 

[NowIAmNappy]

I'm back on my Ayurveda kick, I did a Rhassoul clay treatment yesterday, the third one this month, and my hair felt amazing. I didn't even need a conditioner afterwards. I sealed with ACV and my hair was soft moisturized and stretched. I've never seen my hair like this, I put it back in twists and put my wig back on. My husband asked when I was going to wear my hair out because my curls were popping. I'm still not over my hair cut, but maybe next week I can manage an out style.

 

[naturalagain2]

DC'd last night with Keracare Humecto (my fave moisturizing dc) and Amla powder. Trying to grow my hair back again so I decided to get back using Ayurvedic powders but not try different powders/methods all at once. I think that the overuse of protein and henna before cause my hair to act crazy with bad tangles. So now that I have literally a new head of hair I'm trying to slowly add new powders to see what works and what doesn't because my hair is soft, manageable, doesn't tangle like before I cut it and I want to keep it that way.
Anyway the Humecto and Amla powder and left on for 30 mins.....super moisturized hair!!!! Will slowly add this powder into my regimen every other dc (when my hairdresser isn't doing my hair) to see if my hair continues to respond this way. If it does I will add Hibiscus petal powder next. Starting safe and slow this time.

 

[Alma Petra]

This idea of adding powders to the DC suddenly makes ayurveda sound so easy to practice. And you know what's best? I could add the powders to my rinse out, and maybe even heat the mixture up (to activate the powder) in the microwave before application (I used to heat up my mixture of RO with hydrolyzed collagen)
