Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I Am So Blessed

I'm easy going.
my hair is finally growing out. I need to do some more protective styles, but nobody ever gets to see my hair at work anyway, because I have to wear a hair covering. I hate that lol.

I would love that! to cover my head every day.

For one year I wore hats to get out the awkward stage. Which explains why my closet is full of 9West Newsboy hats in all colors and styles.

My hair is going to be a hot mess in the morning. My pumpkin seed oil came over the weekend. I was anxious to use it so I put some on my scalp and length last night. My scalp rebuked it! You would think I had fleas the way I was scratching my head at work. Another oil bites the dust. I did a neem/scalp shampoo wash, rinse out conditioner and rollerset. She gets on my nerves. I don't have time for this on a Tuesday!!! My hair was still pretty from Saturday!

Honestly, outside of exfolator, I avoid putting anything on my scalp. I don't have time to figure out which works and doesn't. Worse, my scalp prefers to be left alone.

I do a lot of scalp massages with essential oils to promote hair growth and health and my go-to oils don't cause me any issues. I just need to stick with what works and stop experimenting. I'm going to be looking like George Jefferson if I don't get it under control.

That is why I test on a small area first, like my ears. My scalp is more trouble than my hair, so I see them as separate entities. Love my hair; hate my scalp...

IDK why I don't do a test. If my scalp does react it's only the nape and crown - everywhere else is fine. I'm just going to stick to what I use on a daily and call it a quits.

Dido on the "love hair, hate scalp"!

I want this hair so bad, but I'm in a No Buy Challenge until next month. My box braids would look amazing in this color!!

I bought something called a Scruncii* Hollywood Roll and it comes wit a headband. If I can get it to work, and still be able to apply my X21 and APB oils, then I'll have another
go-to style. Also I need to see if I can DIY it.

*not Conair like I originally said.

@shortdub78 @sunnieb I FINALLY got some spin pins. I found the last 2 packs in Evergreen Park (a village outside the city). I'm literally in awe that no stores in the city had them.

Really???

Every CVS and Sally's had those things when I bought them - but that was years ago.

Have you tried them yet? I have the large and small ones. I watched every spin pin video they had and wore all the time.

I even bought the bunning tool Goody had at the time.

I haven't been to CVS in a minute. It's like they have become scarce around here! I wanna buy that bunning thing you stick your hair in and fold over, but I still have a struggle bun.

I just got them before work today, so I haven't gotten a chance to try them yet. Those spin pins have gotten sparse.

I bought some YEARS ago and have been too afraid to try them. I have this fear that they'll get stuck in my hair and I'll have to cut them out.
Oh no you twist them in, and you twist them out. They are really smooth and hold everything in place like 10 Bobby pins. They aren't damaging either. It's just not fun when you lose one. They are durable and won't snag your hair.

If hurricane Irma thinks she will stop my hair from being great, she's telling a lie because instead of waiting for her to arrive later today and cause the water company to shut off the water and the electrical company to shut down our power, I am DCing my hair right now :woot:
I know that's right! I would scrub/exfoliate, shave, wash and dc, give myself a mani/pedi, etc.. lol Irma wouldn't have me out there looking a mess! Lol
