Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Aireen]

Okay... I realize now I have to keep my edges relaxed between visits. They just break off when having to take care of two textures.

EDIT: I feel like I've said this before, why do I need to repeat things or go though an incident over and over for it to stick?

Apparently, my hair is just chillin' at MBL now....this is what happens when you're too lazy to do length checks during the year.

I need a trim but I'm at MBL...I didn't think I was....

Wow ! Congratulations!

I suppose I should dust this weekend. And then I'm not doing any length checks until November 20 because that's my b'day and then not again until January the 1st 2013

aw. your birthday is the day after mine. cool.

WOW!! I wished I texlaxed years ago. Being natural I was having trouble retaining my length.

Now that I'm texlaxed, my hair is growing pretty quickly.

I can't wait until 1/1/13 - that's the day for me to do a length check.

nothing like the feeling of freshly trimmed hair.

Just did my first HOT, now I am DCing under a cap.

I m so loving the Shea Amla and Totally twisted butters

 

[melissa-bee]

using my huetiful hair steamer for the first time, so exciting! this is the first time i've mixed oils (jbco, coconut oil, & safflower oil) into my DC too so we'll see how that works out.

also used this turbie twist knock off from the dollar tree. i was doubtful that it would do the job if it only cost me a dollar, but so far i really like it! even though my hair is a tad longer than the actual turbie twist itself, it still conveniently kept my hair out of the way.

Can't wait to wash and DC my hair tomorrow. It won't be salon results, but it will be clean

I love the consistency of the Shea Moisture Curl and Style Milk, even though I don't think it's doing anything for my hair.

I just cut an inch to 2 inches off my ends. Much happier with my ends now.

 

[MyAngelEyez~C~U]

Same here - but at least I know the cause now. I feel like a cat or something.

Can you actually see the difference in your hair's thickness? I can see more strands of shed hair when I cowash, but my hair overall never looks any different.

sipp100, No, thank goodness, but my scalp is sore, too. I bought Vatika oil a week ago, so I wonder if it is what is making my scalp sore....

Before I joined this board, I never cared about length. I just took care of my hair and it grew and that was it. Now I'm always doing length checks and wishing my hair would hurry up and get to TBL, when it's already longer then it's ever been, and longer then anyone else I know. I've gotten a lot of good info here, but this length obsession is something I can do without.

Doing gpb w/ phyto protein under the steamer. Will follow up with aowc mixed w/ wgo under steamer then twist which will stay in for 3 weeks. Simple but still takes a few hours!

He has beautiful hair!

I am settling into a new normal. I am streamlining my regimen; removing practices that are not value-adding.

 

[shasha8685]

Not even 24 hours later, my hair got a much needed trim, is layered, and I now have bangs!

I was bored with my hair for a loooooong time when I finally figured out what was wrong....long and straight is simply boring. I'm loving my layers and my bangs

1 year natural

 

[MyAngelEyez~C~U]

Used the Fall Equinox as a reason to give myself a trim today. It left me still stuck about 1"-2" above BSL :-( So close and yet so freakin' far away....

 

[Beany]

I'm back and forth on this permanent dye thing. My grays are so disrespectful.

 

[greight]

What's the hot flat iron now? I have never shopped for one as a natural .

I'm just overwhelmed. CHI/FHI sound exactly the same and almost like a fraternity. Plus Croc reminds me of those wack shoes and I'm just ???? it all.

I know how you feel. Now that I've reached my pre BC length of APL, I'm rushing BSB/BSL instead of just taking care of it and letting it grow peacefully. I keep pulling my hair to see where it reaches, I'm always talking about how short it is, and just being impatient.

melissa-bee is the woman in the pic his mother or finely trimmed beard?

sooo...ive been stretching a headband over my scarf every night and it's really helped keep the thing on my head. ugh. dont know why i didnt think of such a simple idea sooner haha. darn thing slipping off of my head and me having to wake up to put it back on is not the business.

"the business" does anyone still say that? haha i guess i do.

i bought kinky curly curling custard to use for my edges (because i didnt want to get regular gel with all the crazy ingredients) and i used a little on my edges and it seemed to do the job of smoothing them, buuuut i checked again a little while ago and it seems that its gonna give me flakiness. booooooo. wonder if oil will help that. ((shrug)) ive tried flaxseed gel, but that flakes on me, too. wah. maybe im just doing it wrong.
