Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Bette Davis Eyes]

I love the Keracare Curlessence line. I’ve been using it on my youngest son lately with washing weekly. His curls stay juicy and popping!

I wish they had the coco water when I picked up the other items.

I finally used the tallow on my hair. Not half bad lol kinda reminds me of a lighter version of shea butter. And this one doesnt have a smell. Of course I tried it on hair that already has product on it, so I have yet to use it on naked hair, but so far so good.

Okay I'm thinking I might like tallow a LOT lol. I used it instead of grease to seal, and my hair is pretty dang soft lol

The owner of Alikays naturals is looking really frail.

That's quite a change. The order of some of the ingredients are a lot further down the line/higher up the list, some completely removed as well as new additions. They may as well have created a new product. BRBC 2.0 is highly likely to be incompatible with a lot of heads due to the changes. I hope I'm wrong, there's nothing worse than something that works for you changing in composition or getting discontinued.

I’m having doubts about this change being positive.

I'm just gonna drop this right here........

I don’t think I was chosen to beta test the onion line but when it launches I will definitely purchase.

I’m holding out it will magically appear at the house but it’s been a month since I applied.

It’s my birthday tomorrow!! What a blessing.

I'm finally getting around to washing my hair, currently sitting with this on, I've got Skala Mais Cachos sitting under it....

I put a cheapo little shower cap on, followed by a larger foil shower cap, to keep in as much heat as possible, I cannot be bothered to pull out the hood dryer or the blow dryer.

I bought it in anticipation of my shrunken TBL hair needing this in her life, I cannot wait till we can fill this up so it looks like it's just a normal sized shower cap



ETA: I bought a piece of silk satin material to use as a towel, today will be my first time trying it out. I wonder how that's going to go......I'm hoping there's enough material, I'm hoping it works the way I envisaged it to.

I’ve been damp bunning after finding my extreme gel this week and I’m kinda scared of dealing with the consequences once I finally get around to thoroughly detangling. The front of my head actually looks nice with the waves once my scarf has been on a bit.

Anyone just not thoroughly detangle for a while and get away Scott free? I have been careful to only use conditioners with good detangling support so I figure it’s detangling my hair for me. I’m too busy to do much else and styling is much easier if I can just wash it/ damp bun like I used to in my first hair journey.

It also feels so refreshing to have water on my scalp right about now too.

Yes regularly before I got back to regularly doing my hair. I just made sure my roots were wet. I'd use products that gave slip and water.

I used the Redken Extreme Length shampoo and conditioner, SheaMoisture Amla Bond Repair Leave-in (only because I don’t have the Leave-In for the Redken line at the moment) and sealed with Shea butter. My hair is so moisturized and strong feeling. It has a healthy sheen.

I feel some kind of way because I haven’t used a “conventional” line in a loooooong time. I missed it. Interested to see how my twists look when I do them tomorrow.

If I ever decide to become a straight natural, I’m going the k tips route with a keratin treatment.
