Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Last week while at work (In corporate America):

That morning I was feeling a little motivated while styling my hair that morning. So I thought it would be nice to do a high bun (my buns are extremely large), and I also wanted a bang. So I did that and went on to work. *whisles*

Later on that afternoon I'm sitting at the desk and this man (the office jokester?) strolls past my cubicle and looks at me and says "I dont know about that hair do Missy, Im not liking it too much!"

I smiled at him while looking deeply into his eyes (for 3 seconds, which is a lot). I then looked down (still smiling) and looked back up at him and said "Its too bad that I don't care WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT MY HAIR". He completely hesitated! He actually looked disappointed. I was extra dramatic/creepy the way I responded. :lachen:. What....you thought I'd be hurt? Make me laugh again.

When do men think it's appropriate to give their unsolicited opinions to women? That ish irritates me. Imagine if we walked around telling them about how their blazer shoulders aren't properly fitted, their shoes don't match, their tie is tied wrong etc... they'd go home crying.

Right! They'd go home crying or report us or accuse us of trying to get close to them.

Now when it comes to husbands, they can chime in and make suggestions because they have that tight I believe.

Let me tell y'all (I'm talkative tonight) of when I had a very minor set Back when I had relaxed hair.

I had very thick, healthy MBL hair. While walking on campus to my next class. I goes to light up a cigarette LOL! The wind blew my hair right on to the lit cigarette and I lost about 20 strands in the front. I can laugh now because that was years ago.

The end.

This has been A Random Thought.

My family never misses an opportunity to tell me how nappy my hair is. I've accepted that they'll never see the beauty in my 4b hair so it doesn't bother me at all. I feel like a pioneer showcasing the beauty of an under represented hair type. I love this cottony cloud growing out of my head.

Isn't this something....I was going to make a similar post. I know exactly how you feel. I'm also 4b and can completely relate when it comes to family members. My Grandmother told me "you walkikng around with that hair looking like a slave." *shrugs* what else can I do but to keep on walking? I love your hair btw.

I had a dream that someone was cornrowing my hair ever so nicely w/o ripping, pulling or breaking it. While I was sitting between this lady's legs on the floor I felt no worry that I would lose hair. I was so peaceful and relieved. (Childhood flash back dream?)

I then woke up sad. There is no one like that around that is trust worthy......anymore.

Awh. Thank you so much. I'm trying to get on your level of hair greatness

I'm about five inches from nipple length, which was my goal back in 2014 before I messed up and went and got a pixie cut. If I only trim an inch all year, technically I can make it assuming I get 6 inches a year. I have to behave and not beat up my hair this year.

Who the HECK bought out all of the Garnier Fructis Legendary Olive in my area? Can't find it in Shoppers, Giant, Weis, Target... what on earth!! I thought we were all supposed to be friends. :(

(No I haven't tried Wal Mart yet, it gives me anxiety but that's the last place I have left to check).
I haven’t been able to find it ANYWHERE around me. So I ordered a bunch from Target.com. It’s so crazy how some products are totally still sold but may not be found ANYWHERE in certain areas.

The breakage on my crown is a lot worse than expected. It appears to a line of demarcation breakage which is weird since I'm completely natural for years. The new growth appears to be thicker and coarser than the rest of the hair at the crown. Despite all that, the crown still has light spots (at this point, I believe this is due to genetics and age).
Today I added a little tea tree oil to my shampoo since the crown was feeling extra tender to help with the inflammation and opted to do a hard core protein treatment since I haven't done one in months. Hopefully this will reduce the amount of breakage at the crown.
