Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Coilystep]

Should I believe Crissle when she says Form products are incredible?

I don’t know why but their marketing bugs me. I have formed an unreasonable dislike for them.

 

[keranikki]

I miss when this forum had an app.

Yes ma'am! I miss it too! I lived on the app.

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

She gets so hype about the juiciness-factor of her twist out. It's cute! LOL.

Maybe I need to try mousse over cream.

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

This is the least overwhelmed I have EVER been about my natural hair. My hair is starting to "run my life" less. This just now hit.



Thank you for all of the help and encouragement. Wow. I almost can't believe I'm here at this stage. So very grateful.

My mama called me an old lady yesterday after she seen my daily vitamins. Oddly enough since beginning them; I feel awesome and better then I've felt in years. My energy is up and my skin/hair appears to be flourishing. If this is what being an old lady feels like then sign me up sugar **flips flourishing hair** .

Sorry Sis - I just saw this. Like @PJaye I prefer mine not to lather, but to cleanse without stripping.

There are a lot of great ones out there that will do a great job without stripping. Hairveda Amla Cleanse is a good one.

Here are some I really like (in no particular order):
Hairveda Amla Cleanse
Hydroquench Systems
Curl Junkie Daily Fix
Annabelle's Perfect Blends
JMonique's Coconut Cowash
KeraVada HydroMax
Alikay Naturals Coconut Cleanse Me
Deva Curl No Poo
Bel Nouvo Mint Detox Cleanser

ETA: I just bought Oyin's Ginger Mint Cleansing Conditioner - have not tried it yet tho'.

 

[Lissa0821]

Sitting under my steamer today and it's it as uncomfortable as it use to be. My relaxer hair was thin so it felt like my scalp was on fire. My natural hair is so much thicker so I am sitting pretty with my Joico Moisture balm mixed with honey right now.

I know in my brain that these heat damaged strands I just found can't be made curly again, but somehow my heart is still holding out hope that a protein conditioner will fix it.

 

[Honey Bee]

My crown is like Christina Milian's sartorial choices: "can't get right".

 

[GettingKinky]

Does heat damage make your hair feel silky smooth? The parts of my hair that are still straight feel like they've been flat ironed even though I air dried my hair.

Missed you. Glad to see you around

 

[Harina]

White/latina girls still flipping their hair at me. Will that ever stop? I'm getting a little too old for this ****.

I flipped my hair yesterday and this yt chick gave me the side eye! Lol I’m going to be a hair flipping fool this coming year! Lol

 

[Alma Petra]

Why would they give us the side eye? I would flip my fro at them anytime if it becomes long enough to flip.

 

[Sharpened]

Yeah, I feel myself getting hair-lazy. Time for twists, covers, and relax for a week.

There are so many challenges I want to join but I'm never consistent and always end up doing something different

They are going to be starting a consistency challenge for folks like us hehe

I tried the wet bunning life, dry bunning life for two weeks.

I just prefer to blow dry my hair. It doesn't take that long. I showered, shampooed/conditioned, blow dried, styled hair, got dressed, applied make-up and was out the door in a little less than an hour this morning.

I can do this twice a week.

Hair is soft, fluffy and I use wayyy less product.

But wet bunning will still be an option if I need to.

Thanks, I had forgotten about that one, I might give it go.

 

[imaginary]

A super random thought: if those thermal relaxers and wave nouveau/curly perms have basically the same active ingredients, why can't you just use the curly perms to straighten? Like why not just use the same technique as with the japanese straightening but just with a different brand of products?

I wish hair research was easier to find and read up on.

 

[curlyTisME]

I need to go to Ulta this afternoon and pick up some deep treatments and a good leave in product that can be used on wet hair. Now that I am back rocking a TWA, I need as much moisture as possible.

 

[Sharpened]

Took a break from supplements (except MSM) for three weeks. The shedding spiked up, ugh. I hate the aging process...
