Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Angel of the North]

I think I just need to start making my own hair products now, I've been around the block a few times with trying different brands, using natural products etc.... There are two natural brands that I'd like to try but I pretty much know what my hair likes based on ingredients and how they work for my hair, I never really found my HG moisturiser/leave in/DC but was fortunate enough to have more hits than misses and stumble upon many products that worked well for me and there are a number of products I can say I like. I've spent some time today sourcing ingredients and looking at some of the old recipe threads, I'll also check out YT at some point for inspiration. I have in mind what I want to make, a shea butter and oil whipped moisturiser, melted mango and avocado butter with oil, a scalp butter with msm/silk AA/essential oils/babassu/monoi. I need to figure out a leave in spray that will be moisturising, non greasy, will likely need to workout one for curly hair days and one for non curly days. I will continue to buy shampoo and conditioners to cowash and DC for now but I can really see myself making my own conditioners and shampoos soon too.....


ETA: I need to update my signature

Ladies, I'm happy to announce that my natural hair is at BSB Length!

That's actually been my target goal since that was my hairlength as a child a before I got a relaxer. I've had setbacks due to scissor-happy-stylists, scalp eczema and my own PJism, but I'm pretty confident in my low-maintenance, minimal product regimen

I'm going to aim for Midback Length now and then try to keep my hair around that length. As much as waist length hair sounds appealing, I think given my lifestyle and how much time I want to dedicate to my hair, MBL is about as far as I should go.

I think next time I make my Surge Jr spray, I’ll use a little less oil and maybe add some other goodies. Y’all know I didn’t end up using the sodium polyacrylate? I couldn’t find any safe measurements.

Getting a closure weave put in this weekend. I’ve been working braids since this whole pandemic started. Guess I will do a length check at the time.

Hey all.

just wanted to come wish today’s birthday folks a happy birthday. I won’t be around much in the next few weeks. Unfortunately , the Lord called my mom home and I’m a little overwhelmed.
I wish you all the strength and blessings to endure in these coming days. If you have some time, pray my strength in the Lord that I remain encouraged.

I’m itching to do something different with my hair.

I’ve been experimenting with kccc with braids outs for a wash go like look for my 4b/a hair. My hair is roughly WL, fine, medium to low density.

Today I spent 2 hours researching blond APL wigs to satisfy my urge for a change.

Maybe I’ll henna my hair. It just takes so long for the dye to set. I want a two hour or less wash day. Basically I want fabulous, effortless, cheap hair!

 

[Prettymetty]

I really want to do this style with my ombré hair. Jumbo box braids

 

[Brownrunr]

@Barbie83 @Beamodel @Brownrunr @rmwms AND meeeeeeeee.

Thank you

 

[Prettymetty]

I took my braids down tonight. I kept them 2 weeks this time. Better than the week I kept them last time

 

[vevster]

I just tried my sample of Qhemet’s Olive & Honey hydrating balm. Omg, this company does no wrong!
