Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

For some reason I found my relaxed hair journey to be more fun than my natural hair journey is. I don't know if it's because back then there were several different hair websites that were more active then than they are now, fotkis to stalk, blogs I enjoyed stalking, and the fact that people in the relaxed world didn't have a whole bunch of rules they tried to impose on others. It's weird it feels like the things that were really active three, four, and give years ago have slowed down tremendously.

Done with the pressing. I am so glad I have a ceramic stove. I don't know if it was worth it. It will be nice for a length check. My setback that I had from the bottom of my neck down is now collarbone length inching toward sbl. I had lost all my hair there. I am very pleased.

I am used to puffy and curly hair. I feel bald. My hair is straight and bouncy but I like my spirals and coils better.

My hair is shiny, shiny. I usually do two passes. One pass with a widely spaced pressing comb, then a second pass with a finer toothed comb. Flipped my hand as I was pressing so the back of the comb could impart a shine.

I can't even wear it down because I don't want it catching on my clothes, so what was the point?

I think it took me 45 minutes per section of hair. That is ridiculous.

I was in Tjmaxx and saw this leave in/detangler with really good ingredients, and it smelled so yummy! I turn the bottle around and there's a dog on the front:lachen:
I put it back because I didn't know if it was safe for humans to use animal grooming productts like that.



I really wanted it tho:look:

HanaKuroi I know it's not popular in the boards, but what about the Instyler? Speeds up the process quite a bit. I love borrowing my friends Instyler for that very reason(I'm cheap so won't but another flatiron).

I was helping my SO clean up his mother's garage and found two hot combs from back in the day. I went down memory lane when I saw them.

What was that horse stuff people were using a couple years ago? Ugh I cant remember.. I think it was megatek? It wouldnt be the first time. :lol:
My dogs shampoo has pretty much the same ingredients as the gentle, sulfate free human shampoos on the market so it might actually be okay.

I will look into it. Sounds promising. Does it get very hot?

I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y

It has 3 settings, the hottest being 410 degrees. I use it on the second, or the middle setting. They can go for $99 but you might be able to find them a lil cheaper.

I need to trim 1-1.5 inches off my ends but I'm afraid of screwing it up myself. :perplexed
I've watched tons of YouTube tutorials but I'm still afraid I'll cut too much...or leave it horribly uneven :nono:

I love that my hair is getting longer and I like the way it looks from the back when it's down, but my face looks a million times better when I wear it up. My face is just too long for big, long hair. Sigh....

I can't stand pin straight hair on me. I have more of a skinny face more than a fat face and straight hair makes anyone's head look longer lol GettingKinky

Finally bought me a new hair dryer.
My old one lasted 8 yrs so hopefully this one lasts just as long.

She isn't a member. I think we need LHCF business cards for situations like this. :lachen: "Alllll you need is a little LHCF dearie," hand her the card and be off.

I think I'm getting use to this washing every other week thing. At first it was hard, and I felt like an addict itching for my weekly washes.. Now I'm just like hey glad it's not the week I have to wash my hair, and can spend that Saturday doing what I want.

Right! Lol. When I saw that I thought it is too beautiful of a day out and too early in the morning to already give no effs and just strolling in the street looking like that.

Last night I had a dream that 4 inches of hair was cut off. I was crying like a baby and pissed as hell, I tried to fight the girl that cut it. When I woke up, I thought it really happened for a quick second.

I had a #longhair problem while getting ready for my workout. My hair is now at a length where no matter how high I place my ponytail the ends will touch the back of my neck (at least while straightened). I spent like half an hour trying to figure out how to move it out the way lol. Finally put it in a pony at the top of my head and it seemed to work because my ponytail moves while I workout.
