Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I got a little carried away with my trim yesterday. My hair looks loop sided to me and the front of my hair is truly straight compared to the rest of my hair. I trim off way more that what was needed. I will trim again in about 12 weeks. I don't think there is a need to continue of the 8 week routine anymore.
 
Looks like I won't be doing my hair until next week. I have the flu...again:cry3:...my weak immune system needs to get it together. I feel like crap and now I have to look like crap.

Hope you feel better soon. Drink lots and lots of fluids. Ice water, orange juice (or whatever juice you like) on ice and tea, I like peppermint it helps with menstrual pain too.
 
My first lesson as a natural...wash and go's are NOT just wash and go's. It took a whole lot of effort to make my curls look like something other than a frizz ball. It worked out but sheesh.
No you're right! My wash n goes are not really wash n gos either. I have to let my tight kinky curls set first and air dry then I do my indirect heat tension blowdry. But one thing that I can say is that it is so much healthier than anything else to wear it down.
 
YES. I was having a meltdown Saturday night of the Britney Spears in a mirror with scissors variety. I see a lot of differences in how my hair behaves when it's loose in a wash and go (less tangles& ssk) vs a protective style.
You have to know your hair and just do what's best for it.

I don't think back to back protective styles are for me. Gonna give these a break after this one, try my hand at rollersetting again.
Protective styles are wonderful but I definitely think you have to let your hair loose one way or the other. That's very important!
 
Just got a shipping notice from Honey's Handmade for my dc. It should be here Thursday. I'm excited because I love the one product that I've used from them. I'll probably try the cowash sample they sent with my last order next week with the dc. I should probably order something else while they're having their birthday sale. *goes to make a cart*
 
I don't know if I'm being too critical of my hair (it's growth/length/thickness/whatever) such that I can't appreciate the growth/length/thickness/whatever. Yesterday, my dermatologist and her two assistants said I had a ton of thick hair. Today, my hairdresser said the same thing. I know "ton" and "thick" are relative but I would never have used either of those words to describe my hair.

Eh sometimes I get the feeling that thick is a code word for nappy meant in a bad way. I've heard my dermatologist say it, my old hairdresser, my doctor. My family use to say it also when I was the only one growing my hair out until they saw my brother who has very dense hair I'd say I'm medium density with mostly medium strands. When I hear thick I think of his or someone like
 
That's what I think of when I think "thick" too @kodochax. My hair isn't half as thick as that. Lol.

I think they were referring to density, in part, because they know that's a concern of mine. But like I said "thick" is relative. Plus my black woman dermatologist would not use "nappy" to refer to coarse hair.

Oh yup it's definitely relative I only say it because my black woman doctor has in the past sadly. I just ignored her tho.
 
I just came from the IBS (international beauty show) in NYC.

Oh my Lord, I was like a kid in a candy store. I spent about 400ish and got easily over 1k worth of products, tools and makeup. I will probably post a pic of my haul but now I am so tired. I am very pleased and I had a great partner.

I also went to a balayage and cutting curly hair classes. It was very interesting. All in all I am so satisfied. It was worth it totally!

By becoming a beauty professional has unleashed a whole other pj beast in me LOL
 
Screw all these fancy, overpriced gels. I used eco styler, the brown moisturizing one, and I think I'm liking thw results! I think I may mix it with some shea butter and castor/coconut oil for more moisture/stretch.

Try Wetline Xtreme. You can get an entire bucket for $3. The coupons Sallys sends out work as well. So basically, you have to go get some now.
