Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Froreal3

haulin hard in the paint
I was walking and past this gorgeous girl with dark berry lipstick and a blown out natural hair. I'm glad I stopped at giving her a huge smile, because I almost blurted out, "You're beautiful!" LOL!! She would've thought she had a stalker on her hands hahaha!!

i always get the urge to high five natural haired women on the street :lol:
but I don't

I know right. :lol: Yesterday I told this lady at the gym that her hair looked great. It really did. Was slicked back into a perfect high puff full of lovely little curls. Had some really nice brownish highlights too. Said she used some Cantu Shea and Eco-styler on Sunday. It looked freshly done. I didn't wanna keep staring too hard. :look:

*blinks rapidly* I Big Chopped again!!!! I didn't freak this time though. I just randomly started chopping and I'm so thrilled that I did it again. I went from BSL to A LIL BIT OF HURR. :lol:

Just had to get this out!
Walked into my grandmother's house this morning and had this exchange -
Aunt: "you must be in town to get your hair done" Me: "no I'm transitioning to natural "
Aunt: "Ain't no more natural hair around these parts. Your hair is too thick for all that. You need to get a perm and cut that nonsense out."
How I felt immediately: :angry2: :swearing: :censored:
I simply kept it moving. I just couldn't at 5AM with her.
Not that I need my family to support my decision because it's happening regardless but keep the foolishness to yourself :nono2:
Okay my rant is done :)

Vent: Why does my friend who can't make her hair grow try to criticise the time and effort reqired to quickly grow my hair texture? My 4ba hair unstretched is the same length as her hair straigthened and we used to be the same length 3 years ago. If anything she needs to be asking me for advice, not acting like she has good hair because her heat damage is so bad her hair stays straight when wet. No booboo naturally straight hair shines. Her situation barely sheens, she's not fooling anyone.

Sounds like she's not a real friend but I'll leave that alone. Hating is unavoidable for some.
Maybe you should give her some tips and advise her to join the forum.

My hair is so thin. It's so frustrating sometimes. I have to have blunt ends to have any "body" in this wispy mane.

I have officially run out of room for products in my hair bin in the fridge. I really cannot buy another thing after I receive the Entwine that I ordered today. I don't care who has a sale. Fareal this time.

I went to pick up my niece from school this week, and I see most of the little girls(from ages 4 to 10) already had traction alopecia from braids and weaves. It was so sad:nono:, these black parents should be ashamed.

I honestly think they don't know any better. Therefore, I wouldn't expect any better from them. Had it not been for this healthy hair journey, my views about various hair choices would have remained inaccurate. Therefore, I give no energy to the commentary provided by non healthy hair enthusiasts as they seriously don't understand the ins and outs of hair, let alone appreciate all hair choices. I come from an era of using the word nappy. Ppl around me still use this word. I never correct them because I don't have the energy. Therefore, I press the ignore button until I'm ready to tune back in to what they are serving. So, just ignore those comments that come from ppl that don't have an appreciation for all things hair. I seriously don't think it's meant to cause harm though.

Congratulations!!!! :grin: When you start with the scissors, sometimes you just can't stop :lachen:

I used Cantu Curling Custard and my tiny curlies are poppin' :grin:. I absolutely love this stuff. They better not discontinue it when I finally have a decent bit of hair :rolleyes:

I'm going bonkers trying to decide if I'm going to keep transitioning or go back to texlaxing. Ugh! I refuse to big chop because if I don't stay natural I will lose a lot of length. Did I say ugh?!!!

I have to remember to cut my glueless lace wigs wet. My new wig came out absolutely perfect. 12in is way too long and I can't order it any shorter.

I've been putting off retwisting my hair for the longest. I'm even thinking about washing and attempting a braid out (which almost always fails). I just don't have the energy .

I think I want braids this summer. I even found the hair I want. But my girlfriend has it in her head.

She acts weird when you mimic her. But......she may just need to get over herself.

I have to be the most indecisive person that I know when it comes to choosing a hair style. I've spent hours researching how I want to start my locs and I still haven't decided if I want to start with braids or twists.:wallbash::wallbash:

I had a dream where I big chopped again into a tapered Mohawk kinda style... I think that'll be my look once I finally get to and enjoy my WL hair (when I get there).

I was hoping to really get the most growth I can this summer and I am interested in the njoy essential growth oil (sulfur free version). I was a little taken back by the price. Has anyone tried it and felt like it worked and was worth the money? TIA!
