Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Doing alot of researching here about caring for relaxed hair. I felt my hair was a bit dry and was researching and saw that sealing ends is applicable to those who are relaxed. My hair felt great. I love how it takes a few minutes to look presentable bc my natural was not the biz. I wish I had done this sooner.
 
Reminder to self....the last week my hair was taking longer than usual to dry ....used my Millcreek Biotin conditioner (with Keratin and Collagen) and BAM all is right again:yep:


On another note: Arggh:rolleyes:

Anyone know what I'm supposed to put at the end of my hair when it is in corn rows? I know if it's fake hair you burn the ends... Not good when it's my own, though!
 
Just picked up 3 bottles of Ren Cleansing Conditioner...I'm deeply in love with it. Ren definitely knocked Wen out the box for me! The only thing it's missing is slip, and I fixed that by using Deva-Curl Heaven in Hair to detangle. 9.99 for 16oz y'all...

I look forward to the day my hair is longer and I can put it in a bun again. Hopefully all this cutting and extra care will thicken up my strands some.

I really hope I reach my hair goals this year. I've been on a HHJ since 2003, and I just started getting serious about my retention last summer. SMH
 
Well I was going to wash my hair tonight.:ohwell: But there's been some unexpected craziness at my house so I think I'm going to sleep and do it when everybody leaves in the morning. If I'm late to my appointment so be it. My stylist expects me to be late anyway.:yep::look:
 
So when I first joined this site I was like "What is the point of these challenges...they make no sense" :nono: Almost 2 years later why am I actively posting in most of the challenges:look:
 
I wore a wig for the past few months and when I grew tired of it, I started wearing my own natural hair. It’s in a bun all the time cos I have no idea how to style it but nevertheless it’s my hair and I’ll do with it as I please. The Indians in my office keep suggesting I try keratin or I go back to that straight hair. I told the one that suggested keratin I don’t put chemicals in my hair. The one that suggested the straight hair today said she likes that one better. She made it sound like she was joking but it was kind of backhanded. I was irritated and told her this is my hair and I like it just fine. I’m really quite annoyed. Why would anyone be this invested in anyone else’s hair? I get the feeling they’ve been gossiping about it behind my back too….???
 
Soooo I got heat damage when I straightened my hair last week. It's about four 1/2 inch sections that look like I have a few inches of new growth with bone straight ends.

I always do twistout and braidouts so it doesn't really matter. But I have been curling the ends with perm rods to help camouflage the straight pieces. It doesn't look bad and my hair is breaking so I'm not trippin'
 
Just bought my first tub of shea butter, as well as some Oyin Handmade products.

I relocated in April, and my hair care is seriously been lacking and its showing in my hair. But I am getting kinky twists done on Saturday, so I'll get back on my regi :grin:
 
I think I am at that akward stage I have read so much about. I am so ready for my hair to be big, long, and fancy.

I have learned that anything worth having is never easy this year soooo cheers to my future hair.
 
I made a $30 bet with my mother that I could leave my hair in a PS for one week. Sounds easy right? Well it's NOT! I have a serious case of hand in hair syndrome which causes me to take my hair out and play with it throughout the day. I've never left a style in longer than a day and when I say day I don't even mean a full 24 hours. Now I also have a serious case of PJism so I'm thinking about what I could buy if I win...sigh.
 
uhh...so, i have been trying products for yeaaaarrrs...99% of which my hair hated and didnt want any part of

but now, it seems like my hair is LOVING almost every new product i try.

not that it's a bad thing...it's just odd.
 
I'm sitting under a dryer for the first time in over 8 years. I am shocked. This is kind of cool. :lol:

I airdried my braids for a bit, moisturized on damp hair, and now I have pins in the braids to add some weight for hang. I'm using the 'low' heat setting, but maybe I should use 'cool' since that would be more analogous to my usual airdrying... yes, let me switch to cool right now. I hope my hair likes this.
 
interesting how i'm not yet completely bored with these yarn twists...might wear them all summer. maybe.

I'm looking to get yarn braids soon. I've only seen them on YouTube though and never in person. I've seen demos and considered trying it myself, but maybe I should go with a pro first time.
 
I have never worked anywhere were I wore my real hair. I have been very happy wearing my buns this week. I will try my hand at roller setting this weekend and hope for the best. I don't want heat damage to my newly relaxed tresses. I love this sleek look of my hair. I have been really liking how I look and such. This could be the start of my real hhj.
 
So I just put a ruler up to my nape :look:...here at work :look:

And if I do get 3/4 inches a month w/ this Sulfur challenge, then in 12mths and 9 inches I'll be APL by this time next year.

I'm just saying. That aint bad. And even with just 6 inches, so no accerated growth but good retention, I'll still be below SL. I really need to focus and go get it!
