Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

This. This is what's preventing me from placing an order, and the fact that she doesn't appear to distribute her product to online distributors like Hattache and Pampered Tendrils.

Welp. Nevermind. Curiosity got the best of me and I went ahead and ordered a bottle of that protein conditioner. My hair is long overdue for a protein treatment and I want to get it done during my next wash.

I also picked up her Vitamin Reign and Califia Spray. :look:
 
I have been searching with all kinds of keywords to find a tutorial to do a style like this:new-world-wedding3.jpgI cannot find what I'm looking for. It's not just a half updo or bun. It's more elaborate with the braids and hair bundled on top of the head. Any help with what to search for to find this kind of style?
 
A few thoughts:

  1. I really don't like to wear my loose hair pulled back. I feel like my hair gets too sleek and it makes my head look weird. I do like my twists pulled back though.
  2. It took 2.5 hours to wash my hair and style into small twists. Felt like forever. I can't imagine taking the time to do minis. When I was done, I grabbed my hand mirror and checked out the back of my head. I found one random large twist and one small clump of untwisted hair. Ugh.
  3. My toddler has some odd fixation with my croc clips. He grabs them then proceeds to drum them against any surface he can find.
  4. I'm 99% sure I'll never straighten my hair again. I don't want to risk heat damage, but the main reason is that I'm too lazy to put in the work to get it straight. Wigs for the win.
  5. I'm so glad I went back to natural and stopped using direct heat. Once I nailed my regimen I found that the maintenance is easy and I dont have to worry about reversion, chemical damage, heat damage, touchups, or increased porosity. The less damaged my hair is the simpler my routine can be because I don't have anything to fix.
  6. I'm also 99% sure I won't cut or big chop my hair again. I LOVE long hair and dream about brastrap length two strand twists that I can wear loose or bun. If my hair ever gets longer than that, I'd trim regularly to maintain that length.

Why is the As I Am curlung jelly 20 bucks? Almost everything else in the line is 8-10. What nakes the jelly twice as much?

Anyway, I am trying to commit to using these products for at least a month, maybe longer because the jelly and cowash are going to last a while... I want to see what effect higher quality products have on my hair versus the cheap crap I used to get. So far much better.
 
So my son went from a child who I couldn't pay to brush his own hair to using up all my damn hair products. He used an entire jar of Curl's control paste and a whole bottle of aphogee 2 minute talmabout they make his waves pop. His hair is an inch long! How the hell does an inch of hair need entire containers of product!? :mad:

I'm sorry but :lachen::lachen:Maybe there's somebody he's trying to impress *wink, wink* If he keeps that up, he's gonna need a part-time job so he can fund his own hair care purchases :lol:
 
I can't wait until wash day so I can use my goodies. It might actually come early this week, especially since I have a lunch "date" on my normal wash day. I'm trying to decide on a style. I'll probably wash and roller set Tuesday.

Girrrl that's exactly what it is. This ninja has been cowashing and alladat. He's 13 so I'm not surprised but it's still driving me crazy. I already have share products with my daughter. :lachen:
 
After detangling my hair with coconut oil for the past FOUR HOURS- AND I'M ONLY 40% DONE, I am so frustrated!!:evil: I've only been a loose natural for a few months and I read so much to try to prepare myself. I knew at some point protective styles were going to be something I had to try. At this point, protective styles can take a long walk off a short pier!! :mad:
I have NEVER had so many snarls, tangles, and ssk since I STARTED!! :cry3:But "kinky coily type 4 hair should never be worn loose","wash and goes are a no-no for type 4" and "protective styles are a kinky haired naturals best bet for hair health and length retention"......<---- those can join protective styles on that walk. I've tried different ps, I've tried more and thicker products, I've tried mid-week refresh, I've tried "stretching" and "banding" and I'm really just done with ALLLLLLLLADIS. :angry2::censored::darkcloud: Getting a glass of wine, wrapping this ish up before I cut it all off and trying again in the morning.

Which vendor is this?

Noir Natural Products. I was browsing etsy and one of their products caught my eye. I like the ingredients but as soon as I got to the shipping I lost all interest. But maybe in the future I'll think about a $40. I like the sound of a few things.

I really like how my hair is reacting to the Komaza protein but I really hate their shipping cost! Shipping is two-thirds of the cost of ONE bottle.
Has anyone tried & liked it and found anything comparable? (I don't know if its considered gentle, hard, or what)

I generally buy on their sales in bulk. This gives me free shipping and a reduced cost of product. I use this on my daughter and my hair
 
i am in the wig challenge until my hair grows out to look like i want it.
i am looking at hair to buy now. i just might make my crochet braid wig.

why do people like to take pictures when i;m not ready my brows were already a mess
...hence me being online looking for hair changing my look this month

I need some clips in that blend well and can hold a curl for graduation pics. I don't want to buy expensive hair then turn around and need actual tracks for the graduation sew in :cry: Any suggestions of brands?
 
I have sooooo many rollers yet the only ones I use are the mesh and halo:O I really need to venture out with the flexirods or some of the others. I see so many beautiful results but I don't have time to redo my hair if it comes out a HAM

I went back to the site to check. I didn't see anywhere to sign up for sale notifications. How do you find out about sales?

I think you actually have to sign up for komaza on their website. Once you create an account there is something where you sign up. Ladies correct me if I'm wrong it has been awhile
