Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Angelicus]

I think I want to take the plunge and purchase a blowfryer, I meant, Blow dryer. I want Dominican results. I have always been so scared to use a the blow fryer but I am looking into getting a turbo whatever brand, lol.

Gave myself a proper ACV scalp rinse. Scalp feels good.

I can't remember the last time I've used my steamer. erplexed

A good blow dryer is priceless. There's a lot to choose from, I have a Chi Bling and love it, partly because it boasts lower energy output and still dries your hair faster and smoother than cheaper dryers. Nowadays I use it to speed up my air drying process, always leaving some dampness in my hair. Using the right leaves-ins with glycerin and propylene glycol (for moisture retention) combined with a high quality dryer make for awesome results.

I'm still considering getting a flat iron for my roots deep in a stretch but I've gotten by fine with the blow dryer alone.

My hair laughed at that super relaxed left on it for 20 min!! Wth is wrong with her!!!

I realized today that every since I have been transitioning/ natural now I never did a protein treatment to my natural hair. I'm going to do a protein treatment ASAP.

My weave has been in for a month. Think I will rock it for about two more weeks. I still need to look into buying some curly hair.

I'm doing BSL 2013

Sent from my Android...Boom.

I guess I should go ahead and join the BSL 2013 challenge, especially since I up and decided I was doing the MBL 2013 challenge. After I comfortably got to APL a voice in my head was like, "You do realize that you can make it to MBL at the end of 2013 if you really want to." before I could have a counter thought the voice said, "Enter the MBL 2013 challenge. Do it now." So I did. I listen to the voice in my head. She is always right.

Ok I ordered blensblend 3-1 conditioner and hair butter I will try it out and come back with a review. I wanted a softer butter to work with for my winter regimen wihout having to figure it out and mix it myself. I also have a small pinky sized bald spot probably results from last year being stressfull I started some essential oils blend from liquid gold along with my Ayurvedic oil it should fill in fast.
I've noticed some short baby hairs in that area.

Really trying to decide if I want to keep cutting the back of my hair to have thickness before length. I still have a bunch of layers and want it to be a blunt cut that I can then grow downwards. But dang that's gonna take a while before I get to SL.

I've brought 3 new products this week. I really need to stop.

I really want to incorporate henna into my regimen, but I don't know how it fits. Does it add protein? Not to mention I'm afraid it might put way too much color into my hair. I really wouldn't mind, but I'm in the military and I don't want someone giving me grief about my hair. Might just do it anyway.

 

[sassy2011]

trying to decide if I will straighten my hair on the anniversary of my BC... nah.. probably not.

 

[Satchmo]

I cannot wait to take down these braids. I just really want to lovingly wash my own hair :-/. In other news, I've accepted I'm a weirdo.

 

[youwillrise]

when i start condition washing and rinsing/conditioning, i become almost obsessed with it. i said i'd only do it twice a week, but ive been doing it pretty much every other day. haha. i love it, though. i never know why i stop doing it. lazy? yeah, probably.

mamaline - Henna is not protein, but it acts like a protein by filling in the holes and strengthening the cuticle. Its good for those of us who are on the more sensitive side. In terms of color, it depends on your natural color. My hair color is dark brown with some sun highlights and you can only see the henna color in the sun. Here are some older photos of my hennaed hair.

You'll see a little color here:

Not much color, but just enough. My color is much more noticeable when I wear it out in the sun. Again, it depends on your natural color.

greenandchic I just love your hair!

^^ LatterGlory I rreeeaalllyyy wanna learn to rollerset on my own.. it just takes so darn LONG. I know I'd be thanking myself n my pocket books if I learned

I was feeling like I hadn't made any progress since last year, but I did a length check today and realized that my hemline has thickened significantly. I have a full, blunt WL, where last year my V was just grazing. I've been clipping my ends to get rid of the thin, scraggly pieces. I'm sure if I did less trimming my hair would be longer, but I really want my ends to look good too. I'm happy with my progress. Hopefully I'll get some more by the end of the year.

I can proudly say my hair is growing!

i Permed it for the first time in April after being natural for 7 years, and after I permed I felt a little confused as to what I was doing now but I got the Hang of caring for my relaxed hair again. Maybe a lot better now thanks to the site, and some of the members on here.

I'm sick of my hair at the moment. I think I'm going to buy a wig and wear that for a while.

Adding the Roux Porosity step to my wash day routine has already done wonder for my hair. After a few days the ends of my hair is usually very dry no matter what I do to, but it still feels good and moist. I am in love with my hair again, never thought that would happen.

Mini Rant.
I hate discovering a product and loving it only to find out that's its been discontinued or the formula has changed! I think companies do that crap on purpose and it really needs to stop. I'm sure they do it to make more money off of us. I'm about to boycott new products that replaced old goodies.. OK I'm done thanks for listening

These hairs in my crown are driving me nuts. wont fit into my braid.

I bought a keracare moisturizer, can't think of the name. It's in a grey jar. The first few ingredients are shea butter, sunflower oil and jojoba oil. Well played, keracare. Well played.

I dyed my hair over the weekend. It tickles me how I was totally down for coloring my hair honey blonde when I was relaxed, but when I became natural I was terrified of full color. I said bump that ish and got my light golden blonde on. Of course it just looks like a pecan-dy brown color and not full blonde, but I love it. Will be getting a few copper highlights throughout the top of my head in a couple weeks.

Wondering if certain products can make your hair shed more than others. Maybe I need to stop wondering about what I rub on my hair and start taking my damn garlic for shedding

 

[halee_J]

Think I'm gonna start hennaing again. Haven't done it in a while cause I'm not a fan of the potential mess and all the rinsing.

I'll do my next length check Jan 1st, 2013.

I need to restock on Alfaparf conditioners. I used the last of my real cream last wash, I forgot how much I love that stuff.

Vitamins I'm taking are making my nails so strong. I usually always have problems with certain nails growing, especially on my thumb but not this time, everything is growing steadily. Anticipating healthy hair growth as well.
