Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

2nd attempt at african threading. Starting to get the hang of it a bit. Think I'm gonna stick with this new addition to wash day for a few months.
 
Got my hair braided yesterday. Her hands were not tight and she didn't pick my edges so it was a good experience. She was using attempting to comb each section so I had to ask her to use her fingers, which she complied with.

Overall, I think my hair did well. I guess I will find out when I take it down.
 
Just got back from Sallys :) Used the rest of the money on my store credit card to buy Beautiful Textures Tangle Taming Leave-In Conditioner. It seems to be marketed towards naturals but I'm going to take a shot at it. It smells AMAZING (MUCH better than the last leave-in I bought!) without being overpowering! Also they threw in a free nail polish for me :3
 
Why does my hair stick straight out? (Esp when I am in a mid height pony tail, if that bun comes a loose I look like a fool cause my hair is legit standing horizontal to my head) why does it do that? If it just too light? Does my hair have tons of memory? whywhywhy

It doesnt do this when its curly, it always falls into place (usually). but everytime its straight sticks straight up out like a needle.
 
I think I may be interested in a BKT :look: but what if I don't like it? I can't go back to relaxing. Ugh... I may just go on and slap my creamy crack on my head.

Noooooooooooo!!!! Don't do iiiiiiiit!!!!!!!!!

Okay, maybe a little dramatic. ;) I relaxed and it was great for a few months, but I missed my puff-puff and my hair was more susceptible to damage and this woman gave me a bad relaxer, which was sad since a foot of hair shed for seasons until it was all gone, but... the Brazilian actually seemed to help some and my hair feels great and truly versatile with it. I wished someone wouldve locked me up and given me a treatment before I decided to relax, but... that really wouldve been dramatic.

Good luck with whatever you decide!
 
I'm so glad I found this site! I'm from holland ( my parents are from Suriname) and we really don't have have a clue about taking care of relaxed hair. I've learned so much and my hair is doing so much better since i've been on this site . I feel blesses for finding and connecting with other black sisters. I just discoverd a whole new world. It is hard for me to express myself in english because it is not my native language. I'm learning... Please bare with me. Just wanted to let you know how thankfull I am for all that I 've learned so far. You are doing a great job!

WELCOME TO THE BOARD LOVE! ;)
 
I quit being a chicken and turned up the heat on my flat iron (it goes up to 450, I put the dial between 340 and 450) and I did my product regimen differently (air dried for about an hour in braids after applying leave-in and moisturizer, then sprayed with serum right before blow drying, flat ironed with no additional product) and my hair came out looking RELAXED. I haven't gotten it that straight since 2008 and I was TOO HYPE lol!! For my night time maintenance I am AVOIDING wrapping at all costs (bad experience with breakage on one side in my relaxed days) so I put it in 3 pin curls and tied it down with my silk scarf. I keep taking the scarf off to see how it looks lmao and so far so freaking good! My edges are even behaving and that rarely happens. If I can make this last for 2 weeks, I will OFFICIALLY become a straight haired natural.
 
I think I'm going to stick to the tightly curly method. My hair is so defined. But I'm also just sticking it in a bun so...


I'll decide in two more weeks.
 
I have about $40 - $50 set aside that I'm itching to buy the most decadent, moisturizing DC with.

Now....what's good? :grin:
 
I think I regret texlaxing my hair a third time. I should have only did it once to loosen up my curls and not bother with touch ups.

Oh well.
 
*looks around* My hair inspiration is Ice La Fox... LAWD don't judge meeeeeee! Lol... No but seriously, I love her hair and that's IT!
 
I can hear my hair screaming at me from under my beanie, "I want to be freeeee, let me loose!" But it is still too cold and I know soon as I wear my hair down my hair is going to be like "screw this its too cold so I am going to stiffen up just cause I want to".

bun's, p/s and beanies till its 55+ degrees D:. At least by then I will see some length. yeehaw.
 
LoveisYou said:
my hair is sooooooooooooooooooooo fine, I think I'm just going to keep it short, it's just limp!

With length fullness will come.

I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y
 
I want to post a review of my new leave-in conditioner on my blog so badly because I absolutely love this stuff! I know it's too soon to post one though. I haven't tested the product out in different ways for me to decide whether or not it's a staple, plus I've only had it for a few days. I want to wait at least a week before posting...I want to see how it holds up after a wash & if it works for braidouts. Still though, I think I really love this leave-in!
 
Every time I announce I'm going to wash my hair within the same day, it never ends up happening. What's up with that?
 
don't wanna speak too soon, but this vitamin reggie has stopped my shedding in its tracks.
and i'm normally a heavy shedder...20-30 hairs per day in the comb is normal for me. multiply that times 3 on wash day

over the course of the past 3 days, i've lost two hairs. TWO. UNO, DOS!
YAAAAAASSSS!
and i think I only lost those hairs because I was handling my hair a bit roughly. they didn't have a bulb on it so i'm guessing it was broken hair, and not shedded.

on wash day I lost a small amount of hair as compared to what i usually do. i'd guesstimate at around 20 hairs in total.

i've only been on vitamins for 2.5 weeks. Biotin, MSM, garlic pills, and a super B complex.
 
No that I have my hair regimen in order and my hair is lookingand feelings healthy, it's time to go for length! My plan is to be mbl by this summer.
 
Oh boy, I started a "pre poo" the night before last with an oil mix for my scalp and shea moisture deep treatment mask.

Well.....I've had this plastic cap on my ever since. That night - all day yesterday and overnight again.

I hope I didn't over do it.

I just never eneded up wanting to do my hair :ohwell:
 
I had a nightmare last night that a hair stylist gave me a relaxer w/o my permission. It burned and everthing. I was so relieved when I woke up.Lol
