Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Had a little trouble styling my newly big chopped hair. Decided not to do a wash ang go. In stead did a puffed french braid and put a lace head band around it. Thank God it worked out nice. I try not to experiment in the mornings before I go to work. Too time consuming if something doesnt look right. I got lucky this morning.
 
I swear wigs use to last me forever now this thing I have woren a week only is looking a hot mess. I really wanted to change up my look but I really can't afford to buy a new wig every 2 weeks. I don't want to relax my hair again until summer. I don't know what to do. I wash my wig in Woolite since it's synethic but man.
 
I was going to braid my hair, but maybe not anymore. I made the mistake of telling the braider I wanted it done for a vacation and she has increased the price 2 times. After the last increase, I have canceled the appointment. If I cannot find anyone else so be it.

Sooooo if you can afford a vacation you can afford to pay her more?

Smh!

I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y

How rotten is that?? Increased the price because you're going on vacation? I guess that made her mad. :spinning:

I guess she feels she has me on the hook and I will pay anything because I need it for something specific. I don't even want her touching my hair at this point. I need to learn how to braid my own hair.
 
If you want the french bouffant rollers you can obtain them directly from the company...I will warn you that the shipping is going to steep. But I ordered two sets of rollers and I believe it came up to $50. The shipping was the major part of the costs. But if u can team up with other ladies that need or want the rollers then u will be set. Here's the site I ordered mine from:

http://www.fashion-megastore.com/ve...ofessionnel-sans-brosse-1,0_2085_2091,0,1.htm

Let me know if u have any questions.

Edit: I ordered 3 sets of rollers- just doubled check.
 
I'm planning to henna my hair tomorrow but, uh... My sinuses are already acting up. I'd hate for the henna to aggravate that. *sigh* Ah well. I'll play it by ear. For now, I'll go ahead and DC and get a nettle rinse in.
 
I don't know when I put my braids in but oh well... I plan on keeping them until the end of March/ beginning of April and henna my hair... not a henna gloss, a real nice henna and deep condition with Sitrinillah that I will order in March... still waiting for my Green Tea and Juices and berries... tired to do my hair spray by myseld *lazy self*

No more coconut oil for me. =( I'm was doing my own coconut oil challenge and going strong for one month, and now...DRY HAIR. So very sad. I love how thick coconut oil makes my hair, but I can do this no more.
I've officially joined the " PROTEIN SENSITIVE" group.
This is a sad day...we'll, 1/2 an hour.
 
I saw a chic do flat twists and ooohhh la laaa!! I have never seen flat twists before; only heard of them. I wonder if I can get a big puffy curly look w/ relaxed hair doing flat twists.....
Maybe I should wait until I have some real NG to get thicker roots or something but I'm def going to try it. ;)
 
i took down one of my havana twists today to show my mom how to install them and realized that my hair in front that i had cut back to nose length in december is back to my lips and almost touching my chin again only 3 months later!!! This protective styling kick is doing it's magic, I'm so excited :grin::yay::dance7:
 
I think I'm going to put my hair in marley twist sometime this month. I'm tired of having to deal with my hair and the two textures of my texlax/natural hair. Hopefully, I'll be able to find braiding hair at Sally's since it's close to me.
 
One of my Chairs' just passed my office and walked back. He asked me to turn my head to the left and then to the right. He said he really liked my hair and was really attractive on me. One of cowokers comes by and he's like did you see Amber's new haircut. I just smiled her and she smiled, b/c she knew the deal. I didn't tell him it was a wig. Maybe she told him as they walked off. I was flattered that he liked it so much but also tickled pink that after all this time, he doesn't know it's not my hair.

But with all the compliments I'm getting on this thing, it makes me wonder if I should be trying to go longer. Maybe a bang can frame my face the same way and give the same effect w/o me cutting my hair. Sometimes I want to but then I don't want to have to curl it or go through the grow out phase. Maybe when I hit my goal of full bsl/mbl I'll think of experimenting with it doing color and/or bangs.

I believe two or three of her styling products have only water soluble cones, but I am under the impression everything else is natural.


I have the Repair Me Reconstructor and it has
PROPYLENE GLYCOL: Propylene glycol is a small organic alcohol commonly used as a skin conditioning agent. It has been associated with irritant and allergic contact dermatitis as well as contact urticaria in humans; these sensitization effects can be manifested at propylene glycol concentrations as low as 2%.

DIAZOLIDINYL UREA: Diazolidinyl urea is an antimicrobial preservative that acts as a formaldehyde releaser in cosmetics and personal care products

Iodopropynyl butylcarbamate (IPBC) is a water-based preservative agent originally used in the wood and paint industries, now also used in some cosmetics and personal care formulations. IPBC is a member of the carbamate family of biocides.[1]
Use is restricted in some countries due to its toxicity, especially acute inhalation toxicity. IPBC is also becoming recognized as a contact allergen.
