Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[kupenda]

I really like wearing my hair in bantu knots. I normally just wear a knot out. But the knots are super easy too. I just wish i could get the parts right. Then id be comfortable wearing them as an actual style

ETA: A mirror that folds 3 ways is a huge help as well.

I suck at parting too lol but what helps me is using a metal-tip rat-tail comb. I lay it as flat to my head as possible in the direction I want the part to be in, start the parting process, and when I get to the end of the part, I do a sort of wiggle-lift (since I more than likely have a ton of new growth) and try to gently pull the hair apart. I'm telling you girlllllllllllllllllll that comb saves my tail.

Reading that Fotki thread made me think of all the Fotkis I use to stalk back in the day. I wonder what some of those ladies are up to, they kind of vanished off the hair scene completely.

i will just have to order the crochet wig from etsy.com that i like. i tore both nets...maybe i am not ready to make one yet. i will just put up the hair and try it again later. i failed at doing something that looked so easy.. le sigh..yeah i will try again at a later date. i hope the hair doesn't tangle. thank goodness i am in my woman cave and hubby wont see the hair.

Who brought up that WET brush from Sally's?

THANK YOU! Best brush ever. My scalp and hair love it. Its been YEARS since I was able to comb much less brush to the scalp. Its so much happier!

Getting one for my daughter too. She keeps snatching mine. Sonetimes right outta my hand

Oh man my head is starting to itch. I had to resort to the "black girl pat" because I'll be texlaxing my hair Sunday.

 

[GettingKinky]

Soooo tired but I'm about to wash my hair.

 

[mz.rae]

Trying to decide if I want to do a curl former set or a regular rollerset.

Thanks for your responses @CodeRed and @julzinha. I trim like a mad woman but one thing I admittedly don't do is use quality products. I went out and bought some better stuff yesterday to try on my hair before I give up on it. My hair also used to love Aphogee 2-step but I cant remember the last time I did a protein treatment at all. I'll incorporate those more as well.

I have to give it a shot!

Ahhhh, my head is itching so bad. I feel like I've just about beat my scalp into oblivion. And it's sore :-( I am going to have to base my scalp really good tomorrow, because I can't take it another day.

My post partum shedding has finally subsided and thankfully my density wasn't greatly affected. My edges, however, took a hit. I didn't have that issue with my other pregnancies. I guess my luck ran out..Putting JBCO to the test.

Last week I did a sort-of oil rinse in an attempt to use up some oils I didn't think I would repurchase. Except my hair came out really nice and has behaved well all week, which is kind of unheard of. So much for that plan!

I used to know everything that was going on with natural hair brands. Now I look at the lists of products posted here and I feel like the only thing i recognize is spray water.

I lay down so many newspapers and the henna still finds a way

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

Why the heck would I do my texlax knowing that I'm dead tired? Welp, at least my head isn't itchy anymore, but I have to fix the right front section because it's too poofy and doesn't match the other sections of my hair

 

[curlyTisME]

Fresh blowout! Clean scalp! All is right!

 

[julzinha]

I just took out my braids and I see increased thickness and growth. I just wish it would happen quicker.

This Shikakai oil is runny as hell!
I'mma have to lighten up on this....

 

[Blessed&higlyflavoured]

I'm so underwhelmed by my hair.

 

[SuchaLady]

I'm like nearly 10 years late but I'm about to buy some Curlformers. I'm too lazy really but I need a change.

 

[curlyTisME]

More highlights for my birthday I'm thinking. Shedding has decreased significantly!

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

Yay, today is my birthday!
