Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I really really really wanted to love CM Honey, but I don't. It's okay and for the price, that's not enough for me.

I picked up the conditioner and custard from SM new wash and go line. My sister told me to just go ahead and return it without even trying it :lachen:

I think I'm going to go on an international hair challenge and not use any American products for a few months. The quality of products abroad is so much better in general.

Also I prefer salon quality products. I just used a sample size of macadamia deep conditioner (with heat) and almost slapped myself from the result. My hair was crazy silky and bouncy. I kept rinsing thinking all the product wasn't out because my hair was so smooth :eek: No more African pride for me.....:look:

Aphogee is the truth. There is nothing above this tried and true DT. Everybody should schedule treatments as needed. One treatment and breakage stops dead in its tracks.
Also Eco styler is the truth. This is not up for debate. This gel does exactly what it says and more importantly what I need it to do.

I really want to get a curly hair cut, but I can’t decide if I should get a Deva cut or a Ouidad cut.

Do any of you ladies have any opinions on them?

I’m a little afraid of the Ouidad cut being on wet hair, but the pictures I see of the results look great.

My hair is thriving from being left alone. I washed and deep conditioned last night and although I had a lot of new growth (i'm not sure how many weeks post I am) it was still manageable. I know this weekend I want to get a relaxer and then I plan on letting my hair rest until mid May for some summer braids.

It finally looks like my hair is going to reach full BSL this year, more than likely before my birthday.

I wasnt able to really treat my hair in about 2-3 wks so i went in today. I made a herb tea that i mixed with an ayuvedic henna based mix, and a little aloe vera powder.

Put on my hair/scalp and let sit for an hr or more.

Then shampooed with a sulfate shampoo.

Then put my homemade banana dc on for like 1 hr and a half w/ a hot head(banana, honey, coconut milk powder, yogurt powder, aloe vera gel, and herb oil)

Washed it out with cool water.

added my leave in and shea mix and braided up in prep for my twists.

If some of y’all still use Shea Moisture, there’s a difference between the one they sell at Jewel and Wal.greens from the one they sell at Ul.ta. The one at .Ulta seems to be formulated better. Only reason I know this my mom bought some a while back lol

I'm beginning to miss my hair. Probably give these faux locs 2 more weeks mayybeee. But I really like how they turned out so going to put them back in sometime in June. Doing them myself this time. Too easy not too.

Yes! I just put in crochet goddess locs last night and I am in absolute love with the ease of install and the style. They are so lightweight! I've had the hair for over a year but was worried that they would be heavy. How long have you had yours in? Have you washed your hair in them? I feel like they're gonna look better as they get older, has that been your experience?

Sorry for all of the questions. Lol. :blush2:

Lol. You're good! I have them crotcheted too with singles around the perimeter. I'm on week three. I typically get antsy after a month on a protective style. I've been using SM No Rinse Foam on my scalp every week (Saturday). Daily I spray with a water, aloe Vera juice, tea tree and lemon grass oil mix. I apply grapeseed oil to my hair line and nape occasionally.

I got wavy hair pieces added throughout. Bad idea. They looked bad after a week and a half. I cut those all out. I do find the locs look better as time goes on. I might try to wash and reuse these for next time.

Cool, thanks so much! I was gonna do the boho locs too - I'm glad you mentioned how the loose hair acted. :urock:
I think I'll just stick with doing different colors instead.

Yyy’aaaaalllll I finally FINALLY found a store near me that carries all the natural hair care products of my dreams - even some I thought were smaller brands like urban hydration’s. You can’t tell me nothing!!!! I bought the protein free conditioner by mielle organics - going to try it this weekend.

(I was so happy I *almost* didn’t notice the owner following me smh :confused:)

I was doing my mini braids (yes really lmao) standing up in the bathroom, and I could have sworn up and down somebody kinda patted my upper back, between the shoulder blades. I turned around, but the only two people who were in the house with me, were in the living room watching tv. My apartment is loud AND small, there’s no way someone could sneak up on me. I was, “well thanks.” I guess I needed that.
