Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[IDareT'sHair]

That mess was sent by the Enemy to kill my follicles, steal my length & destroy my strands. I cant remember which store (Target or Wal-Mart) I bought them from. I'm getting store credit from someone for this disaster.

@Bibliophile
Thank you Sis.
I needed this laugh today!.........

I have no idea what to do next with my hair. I am trying to recover it and return it back to it's super healthy-feeling state.

1. Overnight I prepooed with Chicoro's DIY prepooo.
2. This morning I clarified with the Kinky Curly shampoo.
3. I applied Colorful Neutral Protein Filler beneath Soultanicals Afrotastic Elastic DC.

Now I'm just sitting here, staring at the ingredients list in the Aphogee Keratin & Green Tea Restructurizer (leave-in spray), leaning no way in particular about what to apply or do to my hair for hydration, moisture, and styling.

Let me try to think . . .

Okay. I've chosen to try the following:

1. aloe Vera juice -containing leave-in spray: Aphogee Green Tea Restructurizer
2. ayurvedic leave-in conditioner: Qhemet Moringa Tree Conditioning Ghee
3. gel: Uncle Funky's Daughter's Curly Magic
4. styling: 20-24 twists bobby-pinned to wrap around the head (for elongation) --> twist out

This will allow me to evaluate the Curly Magic -- with relatively less work -- before trying to do a deep wave curlformer set with it.

ETA: I'm going to try one lady's advice to apply my leave-in and let it set in for a moment (10 minutes or so) before applying the gel. I've never tried that before. She says it works wonders for her. I'll see how it fares for me.

So pretty! How was the service? What products were used? Maybe I might try them for a relaxer service.

Okay so I see Im not the only one feeling nostalgic...When I straighten my hair next month ....I will be using good ole Kemi Oly for the shine and the scent!!! I blame that Hair Grease thread.

 

[Honey Bee]

Omgah!!!! My hair is full APL!!! I never thought I'd make out of the tapered haircut purgatory. Yes lawd! :twirls:

Bout to lightly flat iron for a trim. Shoot, I could be approaching BSL for all I know!

My crochet braid regimen is everything I ever needed in life. Put it away for a month or two, take down (carefully!) and prepare to be amazed.

Every since I applied this Jamaican black castor oil to my scab I've been itching like crazy.

Lol!
I ended up using it last night! Just like the good old days! Yes girl, break it out and use it! Gave me a nice sheen added soften, and wasn't greasy. Remember to use a little bit!

Thanks babe! The service was great, but they still have some kinks to work out when it comes paying for your service(don't go if you're in a hurry). I think they're getting it together, because my wait wasn't as long as it was yesterday (went back for the $10 10 minute facial). The products that were used were Redken (shampoo and conditioner in light greenish bottle), Mizani products to flatiron (I think they were called Thermasmooth), and a holding spray, but I forgot what it was called.

Sorry if this pic is huge. I'm on mobile. How do these ingredients look to you all? I'm thinking using it as a butter to seal ends.

It looks good, but personally I stay away from aloe based products.

I am the leave-in spray queen.

The end result. I had 2 pictures, but only 1 can be uploaded.

Lovely, your hair looks beautiful!

I love spray leave ins. If you find a good one it's such an effective way to get to your roots.

Does your hair like aloe, shea butter, and olive oil? If so, you're good to go.

I really want to dupe this Honey's Handmade blueberry lemon verbena refresher spray. It is hands down the best refresher spray I've ever tried.

 

[Honey Bee]

Congrats @Honey Bee

Thanks, boo.

Flat ironed and it poofed within minutes. But that's okay. Did my trim, am half way through this next set of crochets. Gotta stay focused, can't distracted by all this pretty hair. I'm aiming for mbl next year. Pray for me, y'all.

@AdoraAdora24 I told my mother about your reggie and, once she takes down these braids, she's all over it.

 

[halee_J]

We calling MBL foy you @Honey Bee

RT: Imma get that Nupur 9 henna

That recent scarf thread inspired me to buy a new silk scarf. It's lovely I can immediately feel the difference, and the dang thing actually stays on my head.
