I think I'm about to cut some of my hair. I'm sick of having this "tail" of hair at my nape that hangs so much longer than the rest of my hair...

Ugh! Am I going to do it?! Length wise, it would set me back :( but it's frustrating :cry3:

I have a tail/section of losser texture.....I cut it about 4inches shorter then the rest of my hair about a year ago and you would never tell now....yeah it is annoying but I'm not going to cut it until I reaxh and maintain forca bit my short term goal of waist length
 
I broke some of the teeth on my hair dryer attachment. I absolutely love the hair dryer, so I called Conair for a replacement comb. I was told they no longer sell the attachments. Oh well, I don't use the hair dryer that often, maybe once every few months. I will just file down the areas where the teeth are missing and keep it moving.
 
I have a friend who's natural who told me when she gets her hair straigthened, she won't wash her hair for like 5/6 weeks. I thought it was kind of gross at first lol, but she said she cleans her scalp with witch hazel and I wanted to know if this was common :O
 
My hair isn't that long and I'm not that tall, but my curly fro is starting to touch the ceiling of my car :nono: I have at least another 4 months before I can put my hair up, I'm going to have to figure out something.
 
I think I better straighten my hair soon for a length check cos I'm starting to get it into my subconscious that my hair isn't growing.
 
Ends of my hair are literally just snapping off. I guess that's the reason why my hair is the same length it was this time last year. Will be doing a major trim or cut. Never pays off to hold on to dead ends
 
So, I took out my sew in last night (after a week :spinning:) because the hair didn't seem like it would survive a wash; my scalp was so sore afterwards I couldn't comb my hair. The installation wasn't tight or bothersome so I have no idea what went wrong.

:lol:

No amount of witch hazel in the world can keep her whole head of hair clean for 5/6 weeks. Forget just the scalp.
 
I can't wait to wash my hair tonight and take out these braids/twists. I already slathered my hair in coconut oil this AM(as a prepoo) and I plan to shampoo/dc in braids...take them out to add leave-ins and set my hair in twists for a twist-out tomorrow.

I have a friend who is white south african and she flat irons and washes her hair about the same amount of time. She said something about sebum cleaning your hair. No idea. No. Idea. Even for a non-poc person thats a streeeeetch.
 
--Glad to know that it was blow drying that was jacking my ends up. Lesson learned.


--As my hair has gotten longer, I really have to be cognizant about my ends regarding moisture, heat, manipulation, etc. I never really paid too much attention to my ends outside of keeping them protected but that b/c I never really had to. They don't tell you that you have to modify your hair care game as your hair gets longer.
 
Been trying out my new wigs for a couple of days now....some of the people that I associate with act like I'm all brand new with my wigs on..lol. It's really just hair :lol: I guess the stark difference between the wigs and my TWA nearly give them a heart attack :P
 
I'm trying to learn how to style and grow my hair without depending upon wigs/weaves.

The reason is my hair grows (IMO) quicker when I leave it alone. But I want to learn how to style my hair everyday without over manipulating it so I can still see that same quick growth.

But I'm feelin' some of the wigs I see.
 
I want a new do a fresh do. I have been rocking this curly half wig for about 3 weeks and it's old for me. I think I will have to bite the bullet and go get me a full out wig. I was trying my best to hold out til April 1st but I just feel so bum like and this having to gel my hair down in the morning isn't for me. I give myself 15 min to get ready in the morning so that taking time. Snatch on snatch off is more like it. Freetress Dallas girl here I come.
 
Will debut my color lacefront on Sunday to see if I'm feeling it and if not I will wear my stand by on Monday. I want color as it's spring. Got to ditch this sad depressed persona for the renewed one.
 
I've had my hair in twists for almost a week. It was nice to have a break and not have to worry about doing my hair. I'm not sure if want to take them down on Sunday (thats the full week point) or go another week after that. I am thinking i'm going to go for 2 weeks :yep:
 
So after 4 weeks....finally had time to wash my hair but had no time to comb it out. I ended up sleeping on it & now my hair is matted. Sigh.... This is getting beyond ridiculous. Too much... no fun. *pout*
 
Snuck a picture of my sisters natural hair. Im excited I love how curly her hair is! She has MBL stretched hair that shrinks to a little around NL when wet......now if only she would take care of it :(

The NG I have sort of looks like that and according to my mother my hair had looser curls. We will see. I have to look at her hair every once in awhile to keep me motivated so I should relax again. o.o

I got my first taste as an adult of racial profiling in Sally's tonight, *sigh*.
I walk in the store and the white guy greets me, I go down the aisle(not realizing he had followed me) looking at the products. I look up and look over at him "straightening" the already perfectly aligned boxed of relaxers. So I go on another aisle and grab the combs I came in for and see peeking down the aisle at me while he's pretending to fix something else. I wanted to put my items down and leave, I felt like such a criminal:sad:. This has never happened to me at the Asian and Middle Eastern beauty supply stores I usually frequent. That incident makes me want to never shop in there again.

Aw don't let people's ignorance deter you from getting what you need. That was wrong of him and if it were me I would have confronted him or acted like I was going to and then asked him a question (scare em hahaha). If you know your doing nothing wrong, carry on! Don't let ANYone especially some person racial profiling make you feel anyway about somewhere where you are allowed to be (especially when they want your money!).

I am sorry this happened :( But hold strong girlfriend.
 
Since it's spring I changed around my hair products. Some products are tried and true but others are lighter so I think they would be good for spring. I am noticing my stash isn't really all that big at all. Maybe my pjism has finally died.
 
Man I just colored my hair with henna and Indigo and it took all damn day and night. I like the results but this is a lot of work

Sent from my S3 using LHCF
 
i wonder how young is too young sometimes to do little kid's hair. Just peeped someone asking what to use on their 2 mo old....I thought the answer to that is nothing! baby's hair that young is not going to stay that wispy, so wash it, maybe add a dab of moisturizer and keep it moving, you can barely fit a barrette on it
