Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Last night I moisturized my ends with Garnier sleek cream and de-tangled with my K comb (Kerastase). I just trimmed 2 days ago, so my hair is much easier to comb through.

I want to get some feed-in cornrows this weekend, so I’m going to do a rollerset to stretch my hair without direct heat. I typically blow dry but I’m going to make a conscious effort to avoid direct heat for the whole upcoming year.
This worked out really well. My hair is completely stretched out and pretty much looks blow dried. I put some shea butter on it to make sure it retains moisture in these braids. Hopefully it’s not too greasy for the braider.

This is probably my first post in the hair forum this year. That’s shameful.

I got a blow out and a trim today and all I have is this horrible picture. My hair is still long but I’m going to refocus on hair care in 2019. I’m getting married in 2020 and want my hair to be luscious.

Nice!
Is that purple color I see? Or just bad camera shot?

i saw it too but i think what I'm seeing that looks purple is actually her smock. It just looks purple because the color and picture isn't clear. At least that's how i interpreted the color I saw.
It’s definitely not my hair! I don’t know if it’s some weird reflection or lighting, but I’ve never colored my hair.

Although now that I’m looking at it... maybe I should try color one day!

You should. It would look great with a deep violet color. What I see is the section at the bottom where the smock is peeking through your hair on the right side going down your back(do you see what I'm talking about?). It looks like a purple streak. I don't know if that's what she's seeing too but I saw it too until I looked closer because I was wondering what it was.

I plan on dying my hair a deep violet when I get sick of my hair because I refuse to lift (causes too much damage and i love the richness of dark hair). I was thinking Joico Intensity Semi-Permanent Hair Color, Amethyst Purple.

I think I'm going to just continue drying my hair via bunning under a softhood from now on. I clearly don't have the patience (or coins) for anything else and using my chipped blowdryer as frequently as I would need to is a recipe for disaster.

Besides, my hair feels good, which probably has to do more with products than anything else, but it's stretched and soft so I'm banking on it. Now I should probably go through the older wet bunning threads for ideas. I already know I need to start shifting my bun around, which is something I'm terrible at. I'll probably just move my bun around when drying and stick to my low bun during the week.

Also need to plan out my next protective style for December.

I’m always learning with my hair. I currently have an arm injury that limits my movement. Happily, my hair comes out BETTER when I don’t section my hair for styling!!!! I love it.
