Interestingly,
I always thought I was a wash and go failure because I couldn't get one of mine to last more than a day. I wash it every day.

Pastor Dicky up there (previous post) says you're SUPPOSED to wash and go every day. Shoot.

And interestingly, he says to blow dry hair before doing twist outs/braid outs, etc.
 
i'm debating on if I should trim my own ends or stop in the salon and have someone trim my ends for me.
 
Somebody with 4b hair be a test dummy for me real quick lol. Do a wash and go with some wetline gel and whipped Shea butter and let me know if you get any single strand knots or tangles. Every time I start experimenting, I end up having to big chop so I need someone else to try it out

I'm 4b, mostly in the middle and back, and I wng 98% of the time. Honestly the longer I do it the less I get. I've been told if you have a whole lot it might be time for a trim.
 
I found my first grey hair! Was just thinking about dying my hair jet black but now I don't want to cover it up.
 
I stopped being a scaredy cat and did a wash and go on 4 of the mini braids that I took out. The verdict is ain't nobody finna take out all these itty bitty braids for these mediocre results. I need to go wash the sections that I messed with and put the braids back. I know nothing of natural hair but that lazy natural hair life.
 
I get the urge to make a fuss in my hair like 3 days after I do some sort of protective style. I did box braids recently. Trying to keep them in for at least 3 weeks, and I already want to take it down and fiddle with my hair.

I even bought a bamboo brush. And I don’t really brush my hair. What the heck....am I doing? Lol

Agreed lol. Watching product empties and reviews on YouTube is such a trigger for me. Lol Half of the products I’ve tried, and don’t really care for, but when I binge watch videos I get the urge to buy every product I see.

However, I’ve come to realize that if I want some actual color...I need to bleach. I’m scurred of that though. I remember what happened the last time, but in all honesty I didn’t start at the ends first.

I feel that. I’m dying to throw back to the days of rainbow cotton candy color phase in high school. I’d probably just do a streak, but I’m scared too. There’s way too much opportunity for some part of my hair to get messed up.
 
Where’s Adora? I just randomly thought about her and her love for Blue Magic while braiding my granny’s hair with the green Blue Magic. :laugh:

Speaking of Granny, I need to get her some no rinse shampoo. Her hair seems to be looser than I remember. I could have sworn she was a type 4 when I was younger, but as of late, she is a solid type 3. I’m talking ringlets and all:lachen: She washes her hair every few months (no typo) even with color (she dyes it black) doesn’t wear her hair out at all, except when she’s going to the doctor or something. Even then it’s braided into single braids. It’s usually just 4 or five braids. She NEVER wears her hair straight or not in a single braid. I think she did it when she was younger. She doesn’t even wear cornrows :laugh: She keeps it covered 99% of the time with a bonnet, even in the Summer. It used to be a winter hat from the BSS, but I convinced her to switch to a bonnet. I’m telling y’all, she’s been wearing her hair like this for YEARS. And I think she’s solidly midback. I told her yesterday “if you were to look at my hair, and look at your hair, you couldn’t even tell we were related” :rofl:

She’s experiencing some hair loss, and I think it’s because she had too much sebum built up. I think I’m about to turn her onto Queen Shea :yep:
 
been focusing on my ends lately. Im keeping my relaxed hair flat iron and i previously thought to do that I couldnt use product on my hair after flat ironing. That left my hair dry and ends scraggly and desperate for moisture. So 2 days ago I did APhogee 2 step on my ends, 2 minute on my whole head, Joico moisture balm/ AUssie moist mixture DC for 3 hours. Hair came out juicy and strong. Put my redken treatments in and blow dried and flat iron. Now every few days imma put a dab of Motions moisturizer on the ends and seal with a tiny amount of redken argan oil. Also frequently was my head wrap because it can accumulate oils that transfer to my hair and make my hair heavy.

I bought the No Rinse Shampoo and Conditioner and some Shea. I melted the Shea, (I boiled a pot of water, cut the stove off, and set the closed Shea container in the water). I added a bit of Castor oil to the melted Shea, and beat it with some plastic forks cause I wasn’t at home. I had to make do with what I had lol. I wish I had my blender, I could have whipped it for her.
 
I retain the most length when I protective style using my own hair instead of weave. Mini braids are my go to protective style because I can wash them, deep condition, moisturize and keep them in for several weeks before it's time to take them out. I think I'm a protective style junkie
 
hate my hair:mad:

It's not thick or full looking. And the texture of the strands is so annoying. (Not the curl pattern) Product just sits on my strands. Nothing will hold my curls right now either. I have to wash and go daily or wear or bun so my hair doesn't looks crazy. It doesn't grow fast even though I'm retaining. It just sucks. :cry3:
 
I don't get why people get so up in arms about those who do DIY hair care. Humans have been using herbs, fruits, etc since the dawn of time. Strange that it's considered absurd compared to things made in a lab (not to say the latter is).
 
I don’t know about y’all, but my natural hair cannot do t-shirts. I would’ve soaked through 2 T-shirt’s before the water stopped dripping in my eyes lol. I feel like my natural season is coming to an end. I was supposed to start my locs, but I don’t think I’m ready yet. I kinda enjoy switching between my natural hair and my relaxed hair. When I get sick of my relaxed hair, I can shave it off and go natural. When I’m sick of my natural hair, I can get a relaxer.

One thing I do know, that when I go natural again, I wanna be in a position for someone else to care for my hair. I’m kinda tired now.
 
I didnt get to take my hair down yesterday.

Im at work until 3 pm today. My soft bonnet should arrive but I dunno.


My color appointment is the 6th. I really need to have my hair taken down. I wonder if I can pay my gf to do it??
 
I don’t know if I’ll have time to wash my hair before my sons graduation. I may have to wig it until after the ceremony

@ItsMeLilLucky are you definitely getting a relaxer?

I envy your attitude towards your hair. There are many times I want to get a relaxer, but I don’t like having short hair and the thought of transitioning back to natural stops me in my tracks.

Yes, I bought the stuff and everything lol.

Interestingly enough, I learn something new every time I relax or go natural. I find that if the current state of my hair no longer suits my purposes, I can always change it. When I stop trying to force myself to stick to a certain texture, I feel more free.

Of course this means I may never have long hair :lachen: but with the things I’ve learned here, I can definitely know how to have healthy hair.
