Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[ItsMeLilLucky]

Y’all remember how I wanted sistalocs but without the commitment? I happened to peruse Insta and I found this. I’m probably gonna attempt this myself because I don’t have $800+ airfare and hotel fee. I tried to have the post pop up so y’all wouldn’t have to click the link but it wasn’t working and I’m tired lol

My stylist is back from vacation. I’m tired of looking raggedy, so I’m booking a blowout next week and a lunar trim. Monday and Wednesday are both lengthening days. I’ll have thick and long hair by December if I keep this trim schedule. My ends are getting so sexy

Natural hair has been very popular in the last few years in large part because of women on forums pushing the way forward and now YouTube. More people of non black background are taking interest in Afro textured hair. I foresee more multi textured salons popping up and nonblack venturing in the black hair market as stylist and connoisseur of black hair textures.
And I personally don’t like it.
I know there has been a push by some of our people for more nonblack stylist to know how to do black hair but I wonder if we don’t realize that they would take a larger part of our market share in one of the few area where we are dominant.

I’d rather die.

Same, I just wanted to share these thoughts because everytime we complain they can’t do black hair or makeup or anything black related out of neglect and unwillingness to dit we should take it as a business opportunity to monopolize our own market and venture into theirs not as a means to complain about discrimination. Money talks at all times.
Brands that would have never been caught dead associating with black women are now changing their tune. Something to keep in mind, the fight is as much as about economic monopoly as it is a racial one in hair care and in extension in all aspects of our lives.

My stylist and back up stylist are both black and have black and white clients. They mainly focus on natural curly hair (my main stylist only does wash and gos and my back up also does silk presses, twists, etc). I would say they both have multi texturized salons.

I'm hoping there's a trend of black stylists doing multi textured hair and get everyone's money just like white stylists do.

Thanks that’s what I was thinking. Btw good for the black stylist that ate doing that

I took down each plait and added xcel21 cream to my scalp and ends. The bigger ones I split into 2 plaits so my wig would lie flatter.

New Amazon wig is cute. It’s a 12 inch lace bob. Not too thick. It’ll be raining for the next several days so I’m wigging it until the sun comes out.

Wow. That Xcel21 is a blast from the last. Jt hated my hair. Made it dry out. It’s funny because I just poured it out last night to remove all my old hair stash. I think I bought that spray 6-7 years ago maybe?

My stylist does curly/textured hair for clients across the spectrum. And they black curly stylists in my area that do curly hair also do clients across the spectrum. They are definitely get their money.

This is gorgeous but phew the work. If you wanted to try sisterlocks why not crochet the bobbi boss microlocs? I loved my set and they were part of the reason I could entertain having sisterlocks. Seeing the full cuteness of the effect lol.

I already have bulk braiding hair lol. I’m trying to use stuff I have already.

Ohh. That makes sense. Good luck with it.

I’m getting my hair done in the morning. It’s been way too long

 

[Prettymetty]

I just drenched my ends in avocado oil, threw on a baggie and a turbie towel and now I’m chilling

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

I took my twists out because I need to wash my hair, but I don’t have enough time or energy to do it just yet, so I attempted a ponytail. I used water, leave in conditioner, oil, and the ampro clear ice gel. Now I don’t know where I went wrong but that gel has 0 hold for me. I ended up using green bottle Gorilla Snot. And a scarf. Might be perfect for a wash and go. I probably gotta switch the product line up. I finished my hair at 3:30 pm 6/30/2021 and as 12am 7/1/2021, my hair is still moist and this is with the scarf tying it down.

At least I haven’t had the dreaded “i” word yet. I was for sure I was gonna be auditioning for Drumline on my scalp.

Purchase a maxi climber. Let the games begin.

Spoke too soon next time I need to use a blow dryer to dry my ponytail. It just dried at 7:51 pm. That’s too long

Started to prepoo my hair but all the gel just curled up into little balls so I had to stop

What kind of gel?

 

[HealthyHair2020]

Wetline surprisingly. Don't know if I used too much gel for the wash and go but...

 

[Prettymetty]

Can someone tell me the proper time to do a hot oil treatment. Is it before the shampoo? After shampoo, but before conditioner? Or after conditioner? I just don’t want greasy hair afterwards. I could use the slip and softness though…
