Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I am still battling the temptation to relax my hair; i just cant get out of my head the images of the relaxer chemicals tearing up the soda can in the movie "Good Hair", lol. And then on the flip side I reason that if one thing doesnt make you sick then it will be another thing, so why be so strict on myself about this relaxing thing. I'm also thinking, are 3 relaxers a year that bad?...in comparison to the foolishness that we're exposed to daily from foods, environment, and so forth. ok, that's all for today's episode of "Random Thoughts in Smiley79's Head". Tune in next week to read more of her love/hate relationship with being natural! :)

Thanks winona. I just started exercising again myself and I'm on my second month of Hairfinity vitamins. Hopefully I will have some awesome results from them.

Working on the diet but this one is bit of a challenge for me I have to admit. I like eating whatever I want but at my age, I know I need to do better. I need all the help I can get in this area:yep:.

@SVT, I think it's time to pull out my flat iron again to reduce ssk's as well because I don't have my ion/tourmaline blow dryer yet.

Those knots were driving me crazy and I felt like I was shedding too much with the co-washes. I think my issues have lessened now. :yep:

i just broke the bank and ordered the aveda damage remedy line, I'm not mad because it's not pjism in this case, but I just really want to be able to stop my hair from constantly breaking and I've read good things about aveda, plus I heard their customer service is on point if I don't like it

I just wanted to stop in and say hello! I used to be on here a year ago, but I spend the last year focusing on other projects. I realized that I'm still interested in hair when a co worker started asking my about my hair a couple of weeks ago...and I couldn't stop talking. :lol: Now I've been transitioning for a year and 1 month. I would love to get to waist length. I'm going to start a fokti once I get a camera. Right now my hair is between APL in the front and BSL in the back.

Im excited to chop of the nasty ends of my hair and get a fresh start. It will probably turn into a mini cut but I dont care. :grin:

i bought a wig and it is too big. i don't know what to do with it. i don't want to start hacking away at it. it is just too much hair on me. i look like the Lion from the Wiz.

why am i having such a time sticking to my reggie? i guess i want a reggie where i don't have to do much. i really want the airdrying and bunning to work. i love rollersets, but i am lazy right now. i will get back to them when i reach my goal by April-June.

maybe i might get my hair cornroll into a beehive and keep that for a month and rock my wigs. i just need to get my hands out of it.

That had me vexed for a while, but I reasoned that I base my scalp really well and I don't leave my relaxer on for longer than 15 min. So I'm still relaxing 2 - 3x a year.

@shortdub78....what is your current reggie like? I am a believer in keeping it simple! I know a lot of persons cowash 2 or 3 times a week etc. I personally dont - I dont have the time and my hair is thriving.

I relaxed for the first time in November (see siggy) and my hair has grown since then and is still healthy and shiny. All I do is wash once per week, sometimes I dont even use shampoo, I just cowash - and I rollerset. At nights after I moisturize and seal (which only takes a minute); I either wrap, pincurl (like 4 pincurls) or rollerset my dry hair. That's it!

What I am trying to say is keeping it simple works...

ETA...I know you prob want to see pics but honestly, I dont have the time to post them :yawn:

shampoo/dc 1x a week
cowash/dc 1x a week
roller set
wear hair pinned up in the back. bun when curls fall.
moisturize and seal 1-2x daily

simple right? well lets just say i would rather not even roller set. my hair is in layers, so once the curls fall, it just doesn't look right. i don't do the silk wrap thing because i know i would comb my hair too much.

What has helped me is I put them on my nightstand. So even if I forget to take them in the evening I just reach over and grab 2:) BTW I always have water on my night stand because I'm too lazy to go downstairs in the middle of the night when I get thirsty:)

I'm really going to need Youtubers to learn how to pronounce the name of their techniques and tools correctly. I just watched a video about crochet braids. Why did the young lady pronounce it "crotch-it" braids.:perplexed

I love hemp seed oil! I added some to my puff after cowashing this morning, and my puff is super soft after air drying :) .
