Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

What causes midshaft single strand knots? Is it layers? Shed hairs on their way out? Or something else?

That sounds like the second one.

I got my trim today and I’m back at SL again.



The stylist wasn’t scissor happy, I agreed to this (and needed it), but still...

There’s nothing like a whole head of freshly cut ends though.

I need someone to start an APL/BSL 2021 challenge. I see one for SL is already up.

The devil mostly... but both of those can also cause them.

Does anyone recognize this flatiron? It has a curved tip and makes some kind of noise as it flatirons, maybe like a soft vacuuming sound.

Does anyone wonder where the Egyptians get their blow dryers? Probably h e double hockey sticks.

My hair looks cute today because I needed to get on a zoom call for a skin and hair consult.

I really need to find someone to flat braid my hair AND teach me how to do it.

I guess I’ll start my wash day process tomorrow night. I can prepoo, shampoo, dc and blow dry. I’ll straighten the following morning.

I almost want to cut my hair after seeing Monica on the Soul Train Awards.

Every year around this time I either miss my natural hair (if I’m relaxed) or my relaxed hair (if I’m natural).

My guy asked me what I want for Christmas. Guess what I told him?

I got buy-eritis. Not quite sure why it has hit so hard because I normally am quite disciplined with my purchases.

 

[Theresamonet]

Is it this?

No, it was definitely not this. The one she used was a very slender 1 in, black. And it only made a sound when she clamped down on the hair.

Might be the bioionic 10x vibrating flat iron

Girl, same. With that CR stock, I don't plan to buy anything for a while.

@Theresamonet I saw this video and thought of you. I personally like the black flat iron. Seriously thinking about returning the flat iron I have to get it.

I haven’t opened it yet! I’m gonna press my hair on the 18th so I’ll let you know how I like it. But I never flat iron my hair so I’ll probably like it regardless lol

I got me some sulfur to mix in my moisturizer and I added some X21 cream cause why not lol. Operation Grow Lil Bald Spot is underway.

I bought this from Ammyzon. This is my first time using it.

It doesn’t look like the one she used, but this looks interesting. Definitely reminds me of it, though I don’t think those plates were vibrating; the sound was different. That one was also very smooth. It barely felt like she was doing anything. I haven’t flat ironed my hair in years, and I’m used to those old chi or fhi irons that snagged just a bit.

I may try the bio ionic out, although I need to know what the plates are made of.

Oh that's MSM powder, I have that. I use it as an internal supplement, I didn't know it can be used topically.

The moment I can reach behind me and pull my hair will be the day I have arrived.

Either that or I lost 60lbs..

Pretty sure they’re ceramic. But the plates are infused with volcanic rock, which is supposed to create a smooth, moisturized finish. It says ceramic mineral complex on their website. https://www.bioionic.com/10x-pro-styling-iron

I need a new, more powerful hair dryer to use for diffusing & I'm looking at the Dyson... but since I bought the RevAir last year or so, I feel like I shouldn’t purchase another super expensive hair tool... decisions, decisions....
Suggestions?

 

[Mapleoats]

got my rollers organized in these convenient clear bags. Got my product stash down to a manageable amount of quality products, and some sharp shears for fresh trims. Ready to smash some hair goals in 2021

Sell the Revair and buy the Dyson
