Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

⏳ Limited Access:

Register today to view all forum posts.

Just took my weave down, and I'm already washing the hair so it can be redone. I have my mayonnaise and eggs in my hair. Probably wear a ponytail with conditioner to work tomorrow and my hair appt is on Wednesday.
 
Dced overnight with Dove intensive Care (now empty) and Cholesterol.

I need more dc and I need to dc more.

Eta: still haven't used my hair mayo and egg.

I'm not natural, but I finally went ahead and cut all my split and thinning ends off after watching Youtuber HairCrush in her "I Cut My Hair" vid. I grew so disgusted at looking at my scraggly ends but for some reason I could not gain the courage to cut them. Now my ends finally look blunt and thick instead of see through! It doesn't look like I sacrificed too much length either, although I must say that the left side of my hair looks shorter than my right. Honestly I think it was worth it though, I feel so much better now. :)
 
I want to stop playing and just roll my hair every night. Even if I just do a random updo in the morning, at least I'll still have the curls.
 
Two more days to the weekend. Can't wait to get my hair reacquainted with CON argan oil shampoo after 6 weeks in a weave :lick:. Also trying the argan oil intensive treatment mask for the first time.
 
Wearing a twist out for the first time in my life has given me a lesson in confidence. So glad my hubby also loves my big hair.

We were talking to a couple that I like "okay" and the husband asked me a rude question in reference to my hair style. (Been wearing a twist out for about 8 weeks and it looks a LOT shorter than my almost mid-back length).

I told him that he should be concerned with his wife, who was standing right there, and not worried about some other woman's hair. Glad my hubby wasn't around because it would have gone worse for the man than it did. His wife went on to gush about my twist out and I let her because I could see that she was upset with her hubby.

I am so glad that I don't let what other people think affect what I do with my hair (or my life).
 
I thought so too then when she pointed out that hers wasn't as hard as mattress, I realised she meant something else.

msbettyboop

Looking at your original quote, maybe she's the one with the hard hair. Maybe she wishes hers was like a mattress too. Assume the affirmative, girl. Asian hair not fluffy like mattress. :lol::look::blush: She deserved a serious side eye...uh, after the needle, that is. :look:
 
What's with the orthodox Jewish lady wigs?!?

I'm aware of the hair covering ect., but do they have to be so ratty and awful? I'm midtown and I'm getting bombarded by them! Like really lady, a matted wig and Prada flats don't mix :nono:

YAAAASSSS!!!!! My rollers came! Tomorrow night is wash night :yay:

DANG IT! Forgot to pick up coconut oil. Sigh.
 
In my best friends apartment. She asked what I was doing tonight, so I told her including the fact that I needed to wash my hair. I mentioned that it was funny that I used to wash my hair once a week but my hair does so much better washing it 3 times a week. Then the comments proceed. "yeah I need to wash my hair two but you dont need to wash your hair but every 2 week" - my best friend who is a natural head...her tresses are uber dry though and every time I straighten her hair she has super bad dry dandruff. then her roommate who is part south african (shes black enough) goes "I mean your hair will clean itself, I only wash mine once a month.".

And im like no my hair gets really dry esp in the winter i have to keep it moisturized. best friend - nah all you gotta do is put some moisturizer and oil on it and it keeps it nice.
Her part roommate makes another comment i dont really. I duno.

I try to say, well everyones hair is different and some people can go a week, or two, or a month without washing their hair. Mine just so happens to do better washing 3 times a week.

All of the shade. ugh. I am so glad I have all you ladies to talk to, everyone else is just so preachy.

A while back my mom tried to to tell me not to wash my hair but every 2 weeks. Then she asked my friend trying to prove a point and she said she washes hers every week...... I know she's my mom but that shut her up and im so glad about that.

I am loving my rollerset, now at 8 week post I will start flat ironing my roots. I really don't care for straight air drying my hair anymore. It seems my hair responds better to sitting under the hooded dryer for 30 minutes and then air drying afterwards.

Oh yeah, really don't care for co-washing either.
 
So my hair wasnt feeling as lush as it usually does:/ but Cowashing with my staple regimen has brought it back to how I love soft and defined:)

I really need to figure out how I am going to wear my hair for my baby shower next month:) I keep trying stuff but I dont let the sets fully dry (can we say self-defeating) This weekend I am going to make a honest attempt.
 
My hair feels greasy from applying too much NTM & oil. I need to go back to moisturizing w/water, then NTM & coconut oil mixed together. Less potential of over-moisturizing that way.

I don't think I should rock cinnamon buns either. The bun just acts as one big bantu knot and tangles my relaxed hair when I unravel it. I'll be lurking through these threads trying to accumulate ways to avoid tangles after bunning.
 
Ok my ng is coming in and my (not straight, not curly) texlaxed hair is starting to look really ugly compared to my ng. Im straightening my hair after my cowash today. And keeping it straight for a long time at least until my next relaxer.

I cant believe I didn't look up reviews for a beauty supply website before I ordered from them. Now I am scurrred that I won't get my *ish. Only time will tell.
 
I think I and my hair need a break from each other. I am getting bored with my hair and my limited styling abilities. I used to cut and/or color my relaxed hair anytime I got bored. I am putting in these braids at the right time before I do anything I will regret.
 
I made it to four months stretching (Jan 31st). I was ready to call it quits around the 12 week mark but now that the 31st is here, I feel like I could keep stretching. Should I relax or keep stretching.....decisions, decisions.......
 
Took a pic of my hair after my wash and Blowdry i lightly curled my hair with a big barrel and for the first time I was like DDDAANNG! Is that me!?!
Lol I felt so lame cause my bf was like I been told u you don't need a weave. But I couldn't believe it. I'm still gunna weave it up tho. I want that MBL!!

ETA pic with flash

me too! but i think i will flat iron my hair and put some curls in it. there is good reason my hair needs to be down. but i'm still trying to figure out what i'm going to do for delivery.
 
Finally took the plunge and bought my solia :grin: Found a good discount code that got me 20% off (PM me for it :sekret:) and with the exchange rate it only ended up costing me $80 (incl 23$ for int'l shipping :ohwell:). Can't wait for it to get here!

Need to keep up on my vitamin reggie, the MSM did wonders for my ng and I can't let it go back to normal
