Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[spellinto]

I just realized how much my hair has grown in the last 9 months. I really don't keep track of it because I'm in wigs so often, and I really only wear my hair out when the character I'm playing has an afro. Thanks to mw138 for asking me to post this pic, because it was looking at it and then looking at my siggy that made me think 'yay! I made progress!'

This pic was taken in September 2011

The pic in my siggy was taken on June 2nd. My fro is bigger!! :woohoo:

this is off topic but you have flawless skin Daeuiel!

Thank you! It's extra shiny in exchange, lol.

just air dried, braided my hair in two pigtails, tied the ends (carefully!) with elastic bands and coated them in castor oil, and stuffed it all into my bonnet hoping my hair will be quenched and moisturized tomorrow morning, especially these ends

Got a couple, three shipping notices this weekend. So why am I expecting them to show up tomorrow? Ah well. I can dream, can't I?

Washed w/ Mizani shampoo (that purifying?) and Moisturefuse conditioner. Used Elasta qp H2O to rollerset. Airdried. Went over rollerset w/ ceramic curling iron and a tiiiiny amount of Elasta qp curl wax for each section. My hair came out so bouncy and ish. I think I got a weekly regimen back! I used to do this same thing back in the day, but with different products. I's back.

Sooo ticked off!! :heated: First just let me say, yes I am that Mom. The one that's picky, and over protective and I just DGAF what anyone thinks about That! So when I hand over my boys to my In-Laws, I expect my directions to be followed! So why after tellin my MIL to use the butter, that I made myself thank you very much, on my boys hair and skin....why did they come back with some Other mineral oil laden oil moisturizer in their hair??? It took TWO washes to get that crap out!

I just feel like sending her a stank as hell text message sayin "Lady...You may be bald, but don't take that out on my boys hair! Kthanx!!"
I'm not...but I feel like it.

I know you can't tell her that but you might want to tell her that you would appreciate it if she would use the products you send. Then let her know it took you two washes. I've had to speak up with my ex husband and his new wife the same way to let them know I send things for a reason, damn it use it. Never had a problem again.

DC'd my hair with Nexxus Humectress last night and I think I found a new staple. It gave my hair some much needed moisture (my natural roots loved it) but I sadly no incredible slip. I love the subtle scent that isn't strong but you get a good whiff when the wind blows in your hair. Divine After that, I followed up with a tea & ACV rinse, cowash then I blow-dried and flat-ironed my hair. It's so soft and silky. I think I look quite shmexy today

I'm going to work on nursing my hair back to health with detangling, weekly protein and moisturizing DCs and consistent moisturizing and sealing. Once my hair is good I'll get a BKT so I'm not damaging my hair with heat. Things are looking good

I'm going to be that mom, too!!!! I don't think I'll be able to trust any child of mine to my SO's family. Is that bad?

Skiggle WHO BABY DAT?! She is gorgeous. I want to cuddle and kiss her up. Look at those baby feet! Awwwwww

My hair looks sooooo good today, but it's definitely time to wash and deep condition.

I've had so much grief with that woman, and already cussed her out before, that for things like this I'd rather just let it ride for my husbands sake. Next time I'll send a liquified oil mix, and stress that she needs to ONLY use what I send....whenever that next time will be, and it won't be anytime soon.

Ugh, anything that requires two...TWO washes to come out shouldn't be used on Anyone's head, never mind 20 month olds! Sheesh...no wonder she's balding...

For boys that I was on bedrest for 18 Weeks for, and prayed them into the world....I am That Momma Bear. I already told her somethin Real Good, about who the HBIC is regarding my boys, and that ain't gonna change anytime soon.

I used to work in child welfare before I became a mom, and as I told my husband...it would be a damn shame if I did so much for other families children, and couldn't give more to my own. So, if she don't like it, TOUGH!!

I can understand completely. She must be heavy handed along with using the wrong products. He scalp is probably suffocating!

The weaves, and braids is hangin on by the strength of prayer alone, I swear it!

I feel the temptation to cowash my hair tonight. Fortunately I am so sleepy I can barely keep my eyes open. That's a good thing because I have no business touching my hair today.

 

[BrandNew]

Got my hair styled in an updo today, going for my first retwist on Monday.

No more online purchases for me. I'm tired of getting jacked by shipping costs.

I'm expecting 4 separate deliveries. I sorta forgot what I ordered. (I'm an impulse shopper BIG time. ) I decided to go through my emails to check my shipping notices and straight off the back, I'm wondering why I paid a total (including shipping) of $20.94 for an 8 oz bottle of an indian oil that I may not even use. And that's the small order.

Ugh!!! Why didn't I just check my little local indian shop?

And did I really order from GNC when they're right next to my grocery store? Trippin.

 

[~*~ShopAholic~*~]

^^^I agree on the shipping. I try to only order online if/ when shipping is free or I can not get the item locally. Shipping can turn into a whole new bill.

I try to only order when shipping is free, or if the price is cheap enough to offset the shipping. I do almost all of my shopping for clothes, shoes, and hair products online.
