Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Something about really slippery or cone filled conditioners seems off to me, they make my hair feel great but it seems like its just at the surface and not true, lasting moisture.

I just got my hands on my favorite natural conditioner again and I was disappointed that it wasnt great feeling when I rinsed it out, but my hair feels so nourished and looks thicker.
 
To prevent me from unnecessarily damaging my hair out of bored, I will try to do more styling to my hair. I had a heat damage episode a few weeks ago (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y36xzZ5i600&list=UUeb2XdF91c82dcOE9sOmoCQ&index=1&feature=plcp) I'm on a recovery mission.

Instead of wearing my twist 2 weeks at a time, I will instead wear them one week at a time, then the following week wear it out in some kind of style. This will help with monotony, but still help my hair retention and health without the use of heat. For the next year (or more) I will not use ANY kind of direct heat.

I'm so tired of rollersetting my hair, but it seems to be the only way to set my hair at night. Otherwise I don't know what to do??? Wrapping my hair does not work.
 
So my wonderful friend came to visit and brought me a gift.. Chi Silk Infusion!! I am overjoyed (cuz she knew i would NEVER purchase it despite how much i wanted it, im way too cheap) and also I'm a lil upset b/c I've been doing so well with not straightening (heat free since June) and now I'm so very tempted. Le sigh
 
Im going to start doing overnight prepoo sessions using EVOCO and wheat germ oil before I CW I'm trying to add more ceramides into my routine
 
So I ended up flatironing my hair over the weekend. It wasn't even as big of job as it was built up in my head. I'm not sure why I avoided it.

My hair feels longer, but doesn't look longer to me. Gotta love that hair anorexia.
 
I had a late lunch so I can't go swimming right now. BUT, I originally planned to DC my hair after swimming.

Now, I'm going to wait and swim tomorrow morning and DC tomorrow.
 
All my moisture & oil has got on my weave, so its looking a little oily. I will have to wash it soon but I'm way to lazy for that.
 
Im gonna get some cowboy magic for next time I flat iron. I'm not gonna flat iron for at least the next few months though....Why am I thinking about this now? :look: :lol:
 
Aww, my "out" season is coming to a close. Gotta fit as many twist, braid and bantu knot outs into the rest of the "summer" before it gets really cold.

Then it will be flat iron, weave and braid/twist season.:lick:
 
Thinking of trimming my hair every other relaxer since I no longer really use heat on my hair and considering that sealing my conditioner with coconut oil really nourishes my hair.
 
so i decided to go the bun(ish) route instead of twists because i just dont feel like it lately.

i say bun(ish) because i cant call what i'm doing complete bunning lol...hair isnt long enough for that. still havent figured out how long i'll keep them in before redoing. maybe i'll try redoing twice a week to start and see how that goes.
 
Want to wash & DC soooo bad but I'm so tired from work & I airdry...I don't have all night. I want to bun this week & give the wigs a rest. Can't do that w/o a fresh wash. Random.
 
I think it's either time for a texturizer touch up, or time to clarify. I think I'm veering towards the touch up though. I was hoping to not touch up till November, but the frizz is creeping up on me. I'm going to try bunning again, and if I can make it work I'll put the texturizer on hold.
 
This dorm situation isn't too bad. I just stick to an evening wash routine. Less busy. Predetangling a bit helps out as well. Once I got over my initial weirdness rocking twists(for a twist out) in front of my roomie it was smooth sailing.
 
I got bun-checked twice at the airport and I liked it! Once at DCA (Ronald Reagan airport in DC) and then in Minneapolis coming back home. The TSA agent was probably thinking "why is this chick smilling after the extra patdown?" Only if she knew.... :giggle:
 
Ahh, so I have to seal the honey butta to get the softness... *smacks forehead*


Off to take it off the exchange board.. :look:
 
Did a retouch on my edges, molded my hair w/ only mousse and no gels on the sides or back, used Chi iron instead of curling iron, and no product (the mousse has a heat protectant).

my hair is so laid. I'm going to try and wrap it tonight instead of the rollersets.
 
Started using porosity control Friday with my weekly wash and then co-washed this morning, oil rinsed, and used PC last as directed. I can definitely tell the difference in my my hair! So smooth and soft!
 
Purchased the Denman straightening brush and tried it on a small section of my hair. My jaw dropped at how smooth and straight it got my hair. I put the blow dryer to it and the brush just slid through my hair. I haven't been able to use the round brush anymore since I've gone natural, and the comb attachment I bough last year makes my hair so dry and frizzy, especially my ends. I even flat ironed the section afterwards to see just how straight I could get it. It was relaxer straight and bouncy too. My comb attachment is going in the trash. I won't be straightening my entire head for a while but when I do, I know I have the tools I need.
 
I decided to stop wearing my wigs, I did the BC a few months ago and I finally have a little length. I'm just tired of wearing wigs too, it feels so good to just be me.
 
ambrosia from Youtube did a tutorial on a bun with double twists in the front. I really want to recreate that style but I don't know how to twist on the right side of my head.
 
Cant believe how fast my bangs grew in just2 months. They were above my eyebrows and now they are past my eyes. Wish I could say that about my whole head.
