Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

So I've just booked a salon appt for a wash, cut (my ends are raggedy), and style . I haven't been to a salon in 10 yrs! Lord, please bless her hands.
 
At certain times, I become sensitive to smells. The QBMTCG is making me nauseous in a way it didn't before.

On another note, I co-washed this morning, but want to DC and wash tonight. Just feel like playing with products.
 
I hope I haven't reached terminal length. My hair is the same length as it was last summer. Although I stopped caring for it for until about new years, it's been the same for 7 months. I've given it so much tlc that I think it's it. Maybe I'm being dramatic but it's disappointing.
 
No more full strength henna treatments for me. My hair is taking a minute to come back to normal. I will use up the henna I have with glosses.

If you oil damp hair before henna that helps. Also I mix with coconut milk and marshmallow tea or hibiscus tea. Lemon is very drying. I don't use henna with Ayurvedics added those can be drying. I also dc for double the time the henna was on. I MUST end with oyin hair dew and jbco.
 
I want to take these braids out like yesterday. Alas, I have to wait almost week. My hair likes baking soda but when I wash my hair after taking my braids down I will do an ACV rinse post conditioner.
 
I never knew how dry my hair was yesterday until I went to moisturise it.
My hair was upset and she is paying me back today by looking a mess.
 
Having the perfect regime for your hair is a wonderful thing. I have been on this fourm for years and I finally know beyond a shadow of a doubt what works for me.
 
How do I fix my Yasmine half wig at the ends its gotten rough looking should I just cut that part off or can I apply something to it.
 
Happy 6 month HHJ Anniversary to me... and I can't even be arsed to straighten. Had no problem getting to work with the scissors though, tsssk! Oh well, maybe tomorrow.
 
Oooooohhhh Friday!!! You are finally here...I'm leaving this joint at 4:59 to go clarify and dc, then air dry overnight for a flat iron tomorrow...whoop whoop!!!!
 
The Use up Your Stash challenge has been a godsend for me. I am learning and finding staples and forcing myself to use samples instead of buying full size products that just don't cut it for me.

ShyIntellect sent me a sample of Oyin Hair Dew and it is great! In my rotation...so far, my hair is finally starting to retain moisture. I have been primarily co-washing and using a layering process (liquid leave in and cream) to moisturize my hair.

Finally found a couple of hair spritzes from Brendita's Body Works (Daily Botanical Boost and Jojoba Conditioning Mist) that my hair can tolerate as long as I use a cream over them. I've gotten myself down to 7 products.

And don't sleep on Shea Moisture Purification Masque folks! That stuff is THE TRUTH! I thought I hated all Shea Moisture products until I "met" that one :lol: It is, however, hard to find. Next month when I go on a staple only shopping spree, I will get two jars. I will use it as a pre-poo on the one/two days a month that I shampoo. I am still struggling to find a good "moisturizing" DC as I use AO GPB mainly for protein. I may just use that and not worry about finding a purely moisturizing conditioner, since my hair hasn't suffered any ill effects.

Just my extremely looong random thought for today... :grin:
 
My Elasta QP creme shampoo made my hair feel more conditioned and soft and detangled then my cowash conditioners! Maybe I'll just wash twice a week with that instead...
