Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Cowashing is not effective for protein overload.

Confession: Now that I've gone back to Humecto, it doesn't seem as great as it was at the beginning of my hhj. But this 5lb tub won't use itself

Angelinhell, does it not leave your hair as moisturized or something? Can you not give all that to a friend?

Add some honey and oil of choice to it, that normally does the trick. HTH

hmmm...I just remembered that I bought sunflower oil...I need to figure out a way to put that to use..

I'm a brave soul. I'm going to wear my natural hair out in Orlando. We'll see how this goes.

Been hitting the gym and working out so much that I have not done really anything to my hair. I was trying to wait out my relaxer until the end of the month (I'm 12 weeks post), but now I don't know. A fresh relaxer will do one of two things: making being lazy with my hair much easier or get me out of this hair funk and make me want to do my hair again. Either way, I'm thinking of moving up my date. But then again, I might just be too lazy to do that much. I'd still have the make the appt and acutally drive to get it done. Oh what to do what to do...

Last night I trimmed my hair for the first time since my
chop. It was taking forever! Literally hours and hours because I was going curl by curl. I was listening to Musiq radio on Pandora though so it wasn't too bad.
About halfway through the process, I was kinda feeling like giving up or doing bigger sections because it was taking forever. And right when I had that thought, this song "Someone to Love" by Ruff Endz came on.

My ends look gooooood now!

I feel that now in the age of space exploration, robotic prothestic limbs and hydrogen powered cars, why can't they come up with a flat iron serum that will keep my hair perfectly straight until I decide to wash it?

For those who rollerset, anyone doing so on the COOL setting only? I've been using the WARM/NORMAL setting b/c the heat makes it dry faster and it also adds to the shine, but I'm trying to be better to my hair...

Anyone? If so then how does your set turn out when using the COOL setting?

TIA!!!

I love the smell of AOGBP !! Smells like I'm about to do something GREAT for my hair

Are you using the regular one? I've only tried the Rosemary Mint one are they the same as far as protein strength and moisture? Tia

Need to get home and start chopping and screwing my pageant wig. I pray I can make it do what it needs to do. My hair is just here. I will give it a good dc this weekend though. Then again next week before it gets braided up.

 

[choctaw]

dusted my ends last night
co-wash with diluted Nexxus Humectress, apply EVCO to edges and ends, single braid to dry
hair feels great

I use the regular one. The one in the White and Green bottle. It smells like nothing else I've ever smelled before.

It's strange.. everytime I smell it I get excited because I know something good is about to happen to my hair.

Aireen I guess because I've used other conditioners that were more moisturizing. The humecto isn't is as heavy as I thought it was. People aren't willing to accept something from you when you say it stopped working or didn't work for you at all, even if you gave it to them. Though I think somebody on this board may be more grateful. I'll see if I can mix it with something or try to sell it.

After 4 years on LHCF, I finally bought my first bottle of Vatika oil. Smells lemony.

My hair is about 10 inches high and a halo of frizz

Ohhh, I see. I've heard people rave about Keracare products, especially about the Humecto! I love Keracare so even if it didn't work for someone, I'd still be willing to try. I guess you can try selling it/giving it away here, I bet SOMEONE would love to have it.

Started taking MSM! Will be taking it 2x/day. C'mon growthhhhhhh! <3 I need to get to WL again ASAP.

I found some splitends while doing SD starting about an 1.5"-2" above my ends. I'm thinking this is my culprit so I'll be executing them this morning by cutting to MBL (that's 3" off). I hardly ever get splitends and thought the breakage I was getting was from the longer stretch I just ended. Now since I don't blowdry or flatiron it could only be that relaxer t-up I got at the salon 6 months ago. I think the run off was sitting on my strands too long. Never again I don't care how tired I am and no more long stretches 12-16 wks and it's a wrap. My new regi is more like 12wks.

 

[~*~ShopAholic~*~]

Under the dryer with my quickest and most lazy roller-set ever, Lol. I think this will be my new way to roll. Since I just need it to dry smooth so I can silk wrap it anyway.

 

[CurlsOnFire23]

After Big Chopping for the 100th time..I feel good...really REALLY good about this. No breakage and minimal dryness ^__^ I can only imagine how long my hair will be a year from now. I wish I had done this before...

Hmm trying to decide if the bamboo tea is worth it.

I hope so. I plan to order some soon. I want to BC already!!!

 

[knjsavy]

received my silk dreams products - should have ordered two mocha bliss, avocado smelled quite good (kinda fresh greenery ish) and so far is leaving my hair soft, conditioned and has not contributed to this shedding issue I seemed to have acquired

 

[Aviah]

God, Extra strength relaxer smell... No joke.

 

[Aviah]

I kinda can't wait for the weather to get colder. I can weave it up, or braid it up and just wash, dc, spray and MN all winter.

Hmm trying to decide if the bamboo tea is worth it.

halee_J, it's worth it. I've been drinking it for about 2 months and my hair strands are stronger. My nails are also growing along nicely. Yet to see any marked difference in my skin though. I assume I will need to take it for a few more months to get all the touted benefits. I should mention I'm taking it in combination with a hair, skin and nails vitamin as well. Prior to the tea though, the vitamins did nothing for my weak and splitting nails. Now they've stopped splitting and growing well although I'm more interested in long and healthy hair benefits. Lol.
