Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Lissa0821]

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.

Trying to decide on a new regimen for spring/summer.

I miss myasha products

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.

 

[KinksAndInk]

So I have to somehow do a 3 page qualitative analysis of an 8 page research article in APA format, eat something and wash and roller set my hair...all before midnight. It's 7pm. Something is about to get half done and it won't be my hair

Looks like I won't be doing my hair until next week. I have the flu...again...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.

Protective styles are wonderful but I definitely think you have to let your hair loose one way or the other. That's very important!

I keep saying that I'm not ordering anything else online yet I placed another online order and I'm thinking about trying this line I saw while browsing etsy. I blame all y'all for turning me into a pj.

lol

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.

Mixed Jakeala sweet honey hair thang and dope deep conditioner... Ummmm yeah...I'll try them again separately

 

[LavenderMint]

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 know that struggle.

Blowout almost three weeks old, maintaining with flexi rods and tonight I did a flat twist out. My apt is next Friday.

 

[KinksAndInk]

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 see light at the end of the tunnel! Only now I need to redo the front of my hair

 

[beingofserenity]

I think I love eden bodyworks products

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

 

[meka72]

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.

 

[meka72]

That's awful! You would think she's educated enough not to refer to coarse hair in such disparaging terms.

I need a new bonnet and a length check shirt of some sort.

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

 

[Saludable84]

I want a perm rod set, but I don't want to do a perm rod set.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

I wonder why these As I am Born products are only on Sallys website?

 

[mzteaze]

I'm sad that I can't get away with wash n go's while I work on my balding spots.

 

[beingofserenity]

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.
