Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[imaginary]

So I figured out that I can detangle my hair best on damp hair. When it's wet it stretches and snaps and when it's dry it snaps. When damp it's strong enough to withstand the paddle brush but wet enough to brush through. I dampened with water and a lot of olive oil.
I'm back to using a paddle brush. My only issue us that my hair occasionally catches at the balls. Is there a such thing as a seamless paddle brush?

The wooden paddle brushes are pretty seamless and gentle. I found mine for cheap in a beauty supply store and I see them on amazon as well, but those are probably better quality. I also figure that any brushes without the balls at the end are good. The pins look Denman-esque. If I remember correctly Kent sells some like that. I guess you could keep an eye out for similar kinds.

It's a waste of time straightening my hair. By morning my roots are puffy.

Buns or Wigs @Napp.

Do you moisturizer after washing? I find that rewetting my hair in between washes causes knots and tangles especially if I'm going a long time in one style

I moisturize daily and use leave in moisturizer on wash day. I don't saturate with water though.

What are you using to moisturize daily?

my hair tangles and knots when I re moisten my hair after it has been styled. It doesn't have to be saturated for this to happen. for example if I wore a twist out or a rollerset in the humidity my hair would get tangled and knotted.

Shea Moisture Coconut and Hibiscus Hold and Shine Moisture Mist (it's a spray moisturizer).

I have that same problem @Royalq. Yes, there are "Seamless" paddle brushes. They have thick smooth (wooden) pins without the balls on the end.

I use Ambassador/Fuchs, Bass, Earth Therapeutics and Tek/Widu brushes. They usually cost no more than $10. You can find them at Ross, Marshalls, TJ Maxx, Burlington Coat Factory and Whole Foods.

They look like these (ETA Sorry for the huge pics. The site doesn't give me a thumbnail option):

I think I would've stared at the empty shelf while clutching the conditioner to my chest.

I can't keep UP with Shea Moisture. First the Manuka Honey twisting custard, and now the Kukui Nut and Grapeseed line.

@jbwphoto1 @MiSs_RoChELLe Happy birthday

 

[divachyk]

@SuchaLady-yyyyyyy happy birthday girl

 

[Royalq]

Oyin hair dew makes my ends soo soft and smooth! My hair seemed like it wasn't a fan of the whipped pudding. I'm not surprised, my whole body doesn't like butters. I'll keep this up and will apply to ends nightly or every other day.

Man my hair thinks it's slick so as I posted in this thread I decided to relax my hair again because I just miss it and my relaxed hair was fly.
So yesterday was wash day and I step out of the shower to put on my deep conditioner and I look in the mirror and my hair was being all cute it was curling up and perfectly falling into place curls popping - it was trying to seduce me into changing my mind because it never looks that cute in any case I'm sure a lot of the curliness was some stretch from being heat trained/damaged - my hair is pretty tightly coiled

Don't have anything in my hair but it feels great. Washed with Shea moisture fruit fusion shampoo & conditioner
