Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[ItsMeLilLucky]

Update: I was taking out my butterfly locs tonight and did it again. I was being so careful too but I went to cut out a piece of extension hair that had gotten tangled and my real hair got caught in the cross fire. But at least I didn't cut it to my scalp this time, just to my neck. Progress!

That's okay. It's gonna be box braids and passion twists until further notice. Clearly I can't be trusted.

No more butterfly locs for you. You’re acting like me cutting your hair. Progress is progress so at least you don’t have that far to grow. Hurray for victories

A hair joke that popped in my head:

Which essential oil introduced themselves over the phone when you dialed them?

Ylang Ylang, you called?

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

O.L.B. (Oil, cream leave in, butter) does not work with blue magic leave in conditioner on my hair. So far only the TGIN Green Tea works for that particular combo.

My Hairfinity leave in is here. It strengthens ends and possibly repairs splits (maybe temporarily)

This why I always relax my hair The back of my head is forever itchy. The sweat be killing me (my hair is braided with no additional hair)and my hair is so...whatever it’s doing at the moment lol. I’m gonna try to cut back on my sugar, that’s probably another reason as well.

Aaaand here comes the scalp itching. But it's honestly impressive since it's been 3 weeks. But a dream I had last night basically said to take it out next week or my hair follicles would start falling out so next week it is!

I was half way done pulling it out in last night's dream lol.

Guess I have to take my braids down. They’re getting to know their neighbor and tryna get married. I just had to detangle two braids because somehow the got hooked together when I didn’t braid them together.

Yeah I took two of the twists out and my scalp is now screaming "take the rest out and wash me please!".

Me knowing my hair hates the knots from wash and gos and also trying to use my stash:

Also me: I wonder what a wash and go would look with the UFD gel and Wetline...

Lol I just did this combo today. It’s excellent. UFD is like a leave-in, moisturizing the hair and then the wetline freezes everything into place.

I need help. Where were they going with this?

I'm thinking they want people to understand that just because it is showcased for black hair, black companies aren't necessarily profiting from it. If you want to support black businesses, people may want to be aware of which brands are really black owned.

Ohhh ok. Now that you say that it's more obvious.

My scalp is itching so bad. Any home remedies to treat itchy scalp? I hope I can do it with things I already have under my cabinet

Is your scalp sweaty? @Bette Davis Eyes recommended acv and water, but tea tree or peppermint essential oil work as well, you just need a carrier oil or water.

I forgot to add aloe vera to the list.

I washed my hair the other day and I used ors creamy aloe shampoo, the Shea Moisture Argan Oil and Almond Milk conditioner, and APB Extreme Moisture Mask. To moisturize I used Jojoba oil, TGIN Green Tea and Shea Nilotica. Still not as soft. I think the She is Bomb Shampoo, Shea Moisture Argan Oil and Almond Milk, for washing and the APB Organic Infused Oil, TGIN Green Tea, and Shea Nilotica for moisturizing is the winning combo.

Revisited HIT: The RevAir - total MVP

I basically texturized my hair (vs relaxing) it last week after a 6.5 month stretch. When I went to blow dry after the relaxer, I reached for my trusty Dyson supersonic. Worked well, but I had to use higher heat, took some time because of all the poofiness, stretching it out while I dried, separating into smaller sections. My hair also felt drier this week, which I just attributed to the relaxer.

After washing yesterday, I remembered my RevAir to help with stretching. The heaviness and loudness of the this thing made me forget how great it is. I dried my entire head in about 15 min, tops? On the low heat setting. My hair was so soft and straight , even the rougher, less processed patches (and with forgetting to use my trusty NTM leave in). My hair was cold to touch, not hot at all. It took just 6 large sections (I was being uber lazy) - 4 in the back and 2 in the front - to be completely done!

After regretting the outcome last week, I absolutely don't mind texturizing now. I may even prefer it -- as long as I use the RevAir!

Not sweaty. It’s dry though. Drier than usual. My scalp never itches this bad. I’m hoping it isn’t an allergic reaction to the chemicals in this wig. I’ll know after I shampoo tonight

I am never doing braids this size again. It’s taking me longer to take them down then it did to put them in. Why y’all let me do this to myself

 

[Neomorph]

I finally achieved a nice stretch wash and go! I think I found the right stretching technique by diving my hair into 4 sections and using large satin scrunchie to doing the banding method.

I definitely felt like this last time I had braids in. The takedown process is no joke.

Bought 2 of them since my hair likes these types of DCs.
