Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Washed, molded, and chi'ed my hair last night. The set came out really nice...it was soft. Usually it is so hard w/ the mousse. I don't know why though b/c I actually washed out the set a few times :ohwell: Right before I did have cantu in my hair (was going to try and set with it), but washed it out. I wonder if it was like a prepoo that made it soft? That or maybe I used more water and didn't realize it?

Anyway my hair is nice today, but the style is off. One reason is b/c I was rushing. I put in rollers last night to get some curls in. And really I'm doing that to make sure my hair has a bump to it in case I want to comb it out. But it would be much better if I had a scarf to lay it down with, almost like a doobie thing going on. But I don't. Also too, I almost thought about just trying to wrap it flat and wear a lil bang with it. But I really don't know how to wrap my hair dry. And I sweat at night soemtimes, so sometimes it gets messed up. And then I really don't have a hair style u know?

Sigh...bad hair day.
 
Okay, it is now in a style I approve of :up: I even took my mirror in the bathroom to make sure the back and sides worked. The scarf helped and it shows that I'm definitely keeping the rollers in my routine. Tomorrow will be better.

Oh and I still need to find out what I did to get that soft mold set. Hmm... I might just start pre-pooing w/ cantu and making sure I use plenty of water w/ the mousse. Bet that's what it is.
 
I'm thinking about selling my Huetiful Steamer around Christmas Break...It's in perfect shape, only used once (and it comes with the face steamer addition too)...I just never get around to using it so I feel like it was kind of waste of money on my part. It's too late for me to return it though. Would anyone be interested?
 
My hair is still feeling lush with twist abd define

sooooo...i had planned to overnight this dc, but now im kinda feeling like i want to rinse it. haha. maybe im just eager to see how it turns out....as far as my mini twists still looking good.

i'll wait until morning, though. i need to make this a good one since im only dc'ing once a week w/ these twists in for the purposes of preserving them.
 
Went to a bss and asked if they carried any Dominican hair products where the saleslady & owner proceeded to look at me like I had 3 heads. "You mean, like products from the Domican Republic? Why- is that where you from?! Have you tried the African Pride line?! They're really good for you!" *sigh* How I miss NY.

Girl, put that scissors down! :lol: I've been down that road way too many times to even begin to tell you - the quest for blunt cut even hair and perfect ends. That's why I don't have long hair right now. S.T.O.P I.T.! :spank::spank:

No good ever comes of constantcutting....yes, I speaking from personal experience!!!!!! Been there waaaaaaaaay too many times to even BEGIN to count. :look: :yep:

I had the same problem. I had no idea what size to get and all the videos where not helpful because not one of those women had highly textured and/or dense hair.

My hair is highly textured with medium density. I might be in the 4a/b/3c range. I got one small, one medium, two large, and one extra large. I can fit my dry hair into a ponytail with the large ones with some effort. The extra large can be used for a bun or an updo on dry hair. The small and medium will only be used on a small portion of hair or to pin the tails of braids/twists away. Needless to say, I will only be buying the large, extra-large, and mega clips in the future.

I hope that helps!

Is that you in your profile pic? If so, pls tell me how you got your stomach so flat??? ;)
 
I've been over lazy. I haven't cowashed, I havent oiled, I haven't detangled, I havent moisturized, I havent clipped the rest of my relaxed ends, I've been neglecting my hair for days. What is wrong with me???? Today is wash day and I doubt I will do that. I'm so confused. Have I given up my hhj and haven't realized it or something?? Idk whats going on.
 
Finally trimmed my ends. Moisturizing and sealing is the truth cuz after 4 months my ends STILL weren't horrible like I thought they'd be. Recouping from aphogee 2 step with silk elents mega cholesterol right now, then I'm gonna air dry, oil my scalp with my sulfur oil and bun.

I thought cholesterol was a protein?
 
In the salon right now. I don't understand why the hair dresser must be sooo damn rough. I'm not tender headed but she was just pulling my hair and tearing through it while washing. We get to the rollerset and she was pulling through tangles with the super fine tooth comb. I had to tell her to take her time! I came here bc I want my roots blown out. I just hate how they don't take time to pay attention or even care about your hair. It's not even abt the $. If a better hair dresser were closer by I'd patronize them. Some days I just don't feel like doing my own hair I rather let someone else do it. I totally get why ppl are big on doing their own hair and I usually am that way but geez there are plenty times I want the luxury of having someone else do it for me.

I ordered an electric hot comb to see if that will help me straighten out my roots when I do roller sets.

try prepooing before you get to the salon. Idk if its allowed but it should make things easier.
 
Finally firguredout how to do a beehive cornrow. My wig is laying down super flat now. :) I'm going to try to keep my beehive braid in for a month at a time, that should help with hand in hair syndrome.

No, cholesterol is not a protein. Most have protein in them, but they are so far down the ingredient list that it really can't be classified as a protein conditioner.
 
Taking a break... I just massaged my scalp with evoo mixed with 3 drops of tea tree oil. Then, I sectioned my hair in six parts, put my grocery bag on (I call it "el cheapo") and my scarf. Going to take a walk to the mailbox and neighborhood before washing and setting my hair. I will use the 2" and 3" rollers. Can't wait!
