Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

There is night and day difference in the feel of my hair after doing a henna treatment. I only left the henna in my hair for a few hours but it feels a lot softer.
 
Achieved a juicy braidout this weekend! :lick: I moisturized w/NTM leave-in, made three braids, sealed the ends with grease & put flexi rods half-way up each braid. My braids came out soft & bouncy, except my new growth was flattened & harder to manipulate, and my ends weren't easy to seperate because the grease locked them into spirals. Ended up wearing the curls in a ponytail, but I was happy with the results nonetheless. Next time I will use a bonnet instead of a scarf to avoid flattening my new growth, and I will apply less grease on the ends.

I usually use a brown/black gel called Softee Protein Styling Gel to smooth down my edges, but I found another version called Softee's Super Protein Styling Gel :rolleyes: It was only a dollar so I bought it and I actually like it more than my previous Softee gel! It's a clear blue instead of black and gets my edges LAID but not hard at all! Great weekend buys! :up:

I am almost out of my HE HH conditioner so tomorrow I will head to the Dollar Store and pick up a cheap bottle of VO5 Moisture Milks. This is such a throwback that I can't remember whether or not my hair likes it, but it's only a dollar so what the heck. I will need more conditioner now that I'm spending more time at the gym & I don't want to use up all of my Hair One.
 
I trimmed my hair yesterday, and it feels sooo smooth today. I didn't do anything at all. I just undid the breads from last night. It's amazing how much of a difference a trim can make. I need to be more consistent!
 
I seriously need to learn how to do more styles... I'm really feeling the braid/twist type hairstyles that have been in for a minute but I try to mimic them at home and they suck. Last night again I was trying to do the side braid where you cornrow or do a flat twist to the closest part of your face and it just didn't come out right. I want to change up my look some and explore more hairstyles instead of my usual ponytail. I've been scouring the internet for hairstyles for relaxed/texlaxed heads. Traycee fr. KISS and Ulovemegz usually have some really nice styles. I love that Traycee does a variety of things with her hair but I'm shoulder length. In the mean time I would like some simple cutesy hair styles I can do.

I had to use Motions foam wrap, because there was no other setting lotion in the house. Somehow, there is always a bottle of Motions and Ors replenishing packs.....anyway, I hope my hair will be ok, I coukd smell the alcohol in it:ohwell:
 
Gonna blow out my hair this weekend for the first time since Feb so I can trim. I was supposed to leave it off till December but my ends are filling extra frayed and at least 1/2 inch has got to go all round. Heat doesn't work with my hair but I'm going to rollerset first so hopefully I'll use the blowdryer for only a very short time.

Motions has never worked for me. I always had dry crunchy hair after I used it.
 
DH:What happened to your bonnet?

Me: I don't know. That's why I'm wearing this scarf that keeps falling off while I sleep.

DH: Yeah I know. Last night I woke up in the middle of the night and I looked over and I didn't recognize you.

I start laughing.

DH: I'm serious.
 
Back in headbands so I'll leave my hair tf alone during the day. I'm loving how greasing my scalp has my hair looking shiny. And I lay my edges down w/ that curl wax at night so they looking right too. Hair looks good.

I was going to try and go for 2wks, but I actually need a mini retouch. There's an area on the side that I guess I didn't quite get and it's trying to cause some breakage.
 
Can't wait for my henna to arrive. I'm craving that henna thickness. Also found that I've gotten a better twist out now that I've added a wide tooth comb instead of finger detangling only.
 
One of the older black ladies here said my hair looked fixed up....she said "fresh perm, huh?" :lol: Not really, but my edges are so laid yall. And like I said I'm just in a headband. Feeling good.
