Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I think she cut off enough. Her ends looked pretty tangly. She probably needs to trim more often to avoid having to cut off as much as she needed to this time. LOL, I 100% believe that she did the right thing. Her ends looked fantastic afterwards. I could see a huge difference.
LOL. It did look nice.

My strands are so coarse and sharp that they start to give me tiny cuts because finger detangling takes so long and my hands start getting soft from water and conditioner (which makes it easy for the cuts to form). I’d rather just brush my hair.
Whoa! When I use to braid a certain persons hair, those strands did feel like cuts! My finger tips would hurt after. Wow you just made me remember that.Ok this type of hair can withstand a comb then.

You know, I think my morning protein smoothies were doing way more good for my hair than I realized. When I think about it, that is the only thing I have changed that could account for the "extra strong" feeling my strands had. They aren't bad now but I can definitely tell the difference. I'm going to start my protein smoothies again in a couple of weeks and see if that's it :yep:

Nothing like Mr. T hair to help maintain length!

I really want to give finger detangling a serious chance for a while but I'm scared I won't do it thoroughly enough. I don't want to end up with a knotted matted mess that has to be cut out. Plus this crap takes forever. I've grown accustomed to 15 minute detangling sessions in the shower with a shower comb and slip providing products

I'm so tired all the time. I have definitely fallen off the hair train. I need a whole plan for May. Yes I will get my ish together for May.

I felt like that until...
I've been having more energy since taking the Eve Vitamins. I came home from work and cooked my butt off. Hush puppies, BBq, cabbage, potato salad....

I woke up and jump out of bed this morning and danced to the coffee machine. These vitamins LOL. My 6th day on them.

I think I’m just gonna cut my losses and throw out all the DCs I bought last year during my PJ phase. I realized I don’t like options. I want one shampoo, one DC & one cowash product and that’s it. Right now I have a hell of a time trying to figure out what to use on wash day and then I get annoyed when something doesn’t work.
I feel you! It feels like a waste but see it as narrowing down your staples.

If you have a lot consider selling them on the exchange forum. You can at least recoup some of your expense.

Or if you don't want to bother with the hassle of selling, just give them away to charity or someone else. I hate throwing things away...

I finally found the right scarf for my head so it doesn't slip off at night. At first I was tying it in the back, but it would right up at night. So I starting tying in the front and it does move at all during the night, even when tied loosely.

Oh I completely forgot vitamins were a thing I should be taking :lachen:. Especially considering I've started working out again. Thanks for the rec and the memory jog!

When this little one gets here I think I will start to wear my hair out and give it a break from the braids. Thing is it's so short and the only style I really 'mastered' while natural before was a twist out lol. Twist outs look much better with some length. Right now I have a twa underneath by braids. MissKenK on Youtube is a beast with styling her short natural hair, but I'm not as great with styling and that was an issue when I was natural before I wore my hair in a twist out like 90% of the time and it started to look much better the longer it got. I think perm rod sets look really cute on shorter natural hair, just wondering if I'll have the time and interest to do that when I have a newborn... ehhh, most likely not lol.

I bought two bottles of Wild Growth Hair Oil yay! I love the itchies it gives to my scalp (Don't like the smell though). Oooh yeah! *Shoulder bop*.

The cashier at the Beauty Supply was telling me how well it worked (as if I don't already know). I aint new to it, but true to it. Me with my hat on at the store she probably thought I was bald. I can snug all this WL hair in a hat and look bald (just give me a stocking cap) any day.

What if Asians had kinky hair...
Think about this for a sec.

What if Indians had kinky hair? Imagine that in your mind...for a second.

But they don't .

We are the-e-e On-n-nl-y Ooness...Only*insert acapella voice & musical note here* We- muz be special.... embrace Yo-Shhhelf....

On the whole earth you say? We are the only ones? With hair that billows over like clouds? Like whipped cream on top of rich coffee? Fluffy like rainbow microscopic bubbles on water...SUDS? Can be molded into any shape like water when poured into a vase and takes its shape? Nope, Nobody has this, but me and everyone like me. This puffy cloud that defies gravity. Put you hand in it and poof it's gone..hairs embrace your fingers and surrounds nail beds and hugs nuckles to bring them down these roots.

Isn't it crazy how we always tend to embrace differences in other people and even call them exotic, yet we reject the things that set us apart?

I don't want to be first if I can choose to be last.
Let me be last oh Lord because you were. It's WORTH being with you while in my Hurst I live and I rise forever more...then Im first at last. Let me be last and "Lack" in my black skin and my nappy hair with eyes that burn like lamps. This world will burn So I bow down my head hairs reaching toward heaven with ends balling their fists.What will I earn?
I'LL earn strength, love, endurance, Hornor for my King whom has risen from this dust soon to be rust Praise God! Lord make me accountable oh Lord, your judgments are righteous and your word purified seven times in the earth. Let me be last....

Going against the the grain. You have to be built up in strength to "go against the grain".
Don't intoxicant, indoctrinate, philosophicate my brain....to go along the grain. I don't want to be insane....don't cause my mouth to complain in this broad lane.
Broad is the way....So help me number my days.

Let me wake
when my bones ach
For the Lord's sake
When my knees shake
Who does that anymore?...too traped in the lure?
The lure of this world and the pride of life with all its strife.
Give me the heart to go against the grain, with its broad lane, causes me to complain....

Let me wake early...who does that anymore? Let me wake early on purpose oh Lord to put you before the day. Though my knees may strain...I kneel and go against the grain.

4am.
As I lay in my bed I heard a ticking. Halfway jumped out of my skin I still heard the ticking. I thought "there are three clocks in my room and none of them 'tick'." I rolled over to my right side and heard a voice. Wether it was my own voice or....I don't know.

The voice said "that ticking is your heart. Everyone has an expiration date. Every tick that ticks is one less tick left, just like a clock." The voice/thought was in A MATTER OF FACT tone. Matter of fact: I will die. Matter of fact I have a choice how I will die. I have two choices, die now or die later.

"And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me."

If I wake, Will I take up my cross and die? When will I die...I have the choice.
