Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I Am So Blessed

I'm easy going.
I'm laughing to myself because I just remembered that I have washable auburn hair color in a spray can. Wouldn't that be something to go from my kinky black hair to a perm rod set with auburn sprayed on it? The people at work would have a field day. :lachen::lachen:.

I could do it since this weekend is wash day:scratchchin:.

Oh my goodness it's clear that I don't know what I'm doing. A roller got stuck and tangled in my head so bad that I had to ask someone to take it out and it took them 10 minutes to get it out without ripping my hair. I almost had a set back. When I saw that roller SEVERELY tangled I did panic at first and said "Jesus you got this". Thank God I didn't have to cut the roller out.:lachen: I can laugh now, but initially I was like :cry4::crybaby: . I thought I was going to have a set back post.

The person taking the roller out was panicking like "oh nooo, oh what did you do?!!" That did NOT help:mad::lachen:.

I don't like those rollers for that reason so I am going to stick with the perm rods.

I can’t figure out my porosity

My hair wets quickly and dries fast —> high porosity

My hair absorbs product easily —> high porosity

My hair floats forever in water —> low porosity

When I run my finger up my strand it feels smooth —> low porosity

I think I need to see my hair in a microscope to know for sure, but I don’t feel like going through the hassle of sending hair in for that service. Is it worth it?

Maybe it’s medium porosity?

The water test is really unreliable and I think your cuticles can be smooth and still be high just on the basis that finer strands probably have thinner cuticles maybe? If it acts high porosity just treat it as such. Or maybe treat it high to normal porosity.

This just seems super weird to me. Waveformers have been around for years, along with those cute little snail rollers that give a bantu type curl. Curlformers had so much time to come out with a variety of different shapes and types of rollers and are now attacking youtubers because they dropped the ball?

Odd.

My hair has been frustrating since using the demi color on my hair in February. My hair has turned from mostly low to normal to high porosity (except a section in crown which has be leading to high porosity for awhile). I don't know how to deal with high porosity and using products in my stash has not been working. :pullhair: I have even thought about just shaving my hair off and starting over. Granted. I just need to practice some patience and with time, it will get back to normal.
