Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[gabulldawg]

I think I'm going to get some bigger magnetic rollers to start back doing rollersets.

I tried the 3 inch magnetic rollers and I really liked them. I think I'm going to transition from mesh to magnetic rollers since magnetics seem the best for my ends...

At least it's only one, right? Not a couple all over your head, divachyk.

My hair's fine, it was fine before too, I was just bored with it. I regret the cut now but it'll grow back. I'm in another country so a scissor happy stylist cut 3-4 inches of my hair off. I can't blame her though, although she cut off more than she said she would. I've lost so much hair this year but I think that's just because I've been having urges to get my hair cut super short, the long hair thing is tiring for me right now. I'm going through a phase, I guess.

Aireen - yes just 1 not all over thank goodness. Sorry about your cut.

I'm feeling the textured bun look! Throw on a big pair of hoops and looks fab! May stick with this for a little while...

I hate my hair now, I hate the day I ever heard of BKT
My natural hair looks like shif now, it's growing but doesn't look or feel the same

I can't wait to do my hair, but...it's so darn hot to be sitting under a dryer.

Pony tail roller sets are a a gift from heaven during my transition! Would NOT be able to roller set on my own otherwise

 

[ms.tatiana]

Just washed my hair, to throw it back in a ponytail.

 

[Rocky91]

my head is itching soo much right now ugh.

 

[pookaloo83]

Love this!

Think I may start blowdrying my hair once a week or every 2 weeks again.

Had a Sisterlocks consultation today. I keep going back and forth about it. I think they look nice, but I feel like this is me giving up. What I really want is long, loose, natural hair--a mane.

I think I need to give this one more year, find a reggie and follow it to a T, and at the end of that year see if the progress is worth continuing. But I can't give up without actually trying (yes, it's been like 4 years on LHCF...but it was mostly just dallying around).

 

[allmundjoi]

allmundjoi is it hard balancing your medical career and hair too? lol that's a legit concern I have for the future. I kinda wanna shave it off before med school. it'd be APL/BSL by my residency ....

-PYT, naw. What makes it hard is my workout schedule. I workout 6 days a week. My hair is giving me the blues. I will say I was relaxed during med school and residency. With relaxed hair I was Johnny on the spot with last minute dinner/meetings and the like. Now with natural hair and working out, just popping up at a meeting or prof dinner at a minutes notice ain't the business. I usually only attend planned dinners, meetings, etc.

17 months seems so far away. Yet I am trying to have my styling options down by then.

Thank You! I was going to try a BTK before I decided that I was just going to texturize instead. I even bought a kit! If I had read this article, I could have saved that money....at least I can keep my lungs formaldehyde free!

I am not spending another penny on curl creams!! World of Curls & AG re:Coil are the only products that work right. Everything else is just a waste of time, and just makes my hair feel dirty. No bueno. what does a PJ do after she's locked down all of her staples?? Buy some Wen 613!!

And the cutting has begun. It's unavoidable at this point. Ah well. I hope it doesn't look too crazy.

 

[Arian]

Realizing that I can't stop using shampoo...maybe once a month..

NJoy, me too! After my steam treatment, another trim.

Do u have a stylist u trust hun? I would just leave it up to a pro, you've gone through enough stress with your hair at this point.

I added honey and aloe vera juice to my "juice" bottle ... and it works well with the mix of left over conditioners, leave-ins, oils, gels and tap water.

 

[TheMenAllPause]

I knew it was going to happen. During my move one box of my beloved hair products was left in our hot garage! My poor man had no idea why I was so mad...on top of that he laid the box on its side instead of upward ...so all of the oils in applicator bottles spilled out...thanks babe...love you...mean it #sarcasm.

Why my DH told me some foolishness about "You can't grow TBL hair....cause of genetics". :hardslap: When I stopped laughing, I told him "Then I should be fine, cause my hair was MBL as a child." (no I don't believe that, but I wanted to see what he was gonna say). He replies that that doesn't count, cause I was a small child. Then explained something about stunted growth, and hair length... (I had tuned him out by then)

I know he was only saying it to F with me, but Lawd...I never thought to hear such foolishness IRL... lachen:
