Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I need to explore gels. I love Ecostyler for the definition, but I hate that it can't be mixed with leave-ins. My hair needs moisture during WnGs, but Ecostyler won't let me.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Trying to decide if I want to go to Rite Aid for this SM sale or just wait for CVS or Walgreens. Does Rite Aid even carry all of the lines like CVS? I only saw 2 on their website. I'll probably just wait. I don't need anything right now anyways.
I would just wait. When I used SM and was looking for a sale, RiteAid always had the worst selection. They only had like 1 item from 2 or 3 lines in the store.

I have been neglecting my hair so bad that I'm surprised I'm not bald. I'm out of nursing school for the summer so I'm going to take this time to baby my hair. Had a ton of breakage

So I got this $1 gel from dollar tree. I cowashed my hair today with SSI blueberry cowash. Finished it up, cleaned it out and put the gel in it's bottle lol. Jars take up more space than bottles. I'm suddenly annoyed with having a ton of products. My pjism may be ending soon

Planing on trimming the rest of my ends this weekend.

Bought ORS olive oil hair lotion, I wanted the monoi oil anti-breakage moisturizer, but sally's didn't have it. The olive oil lotion is nice since it doesn't revert my hair. I want to moisturize at night. I was able to braid my hair into like threeish braids, since I'm keeping my hair stretch now. Then I rubbed some hemp seed oil over and put on a scarf. Life is so much easier when I don't let my hair be a shrunken ball. I keep thinking I'm relaxed because my hair looks and feels almost exactly the same.

Just used the gel. Have a very strong feeling my hair will look like trash in the morning. To touch the gel feels like SSI green tea gel that I love but when I apply it, goes on like water. May wake up with frizzy crusty hair smh. We'll see

I need to buy some more eco styler olive & stop playing

THAT'S IT!!!! I'm relaxing my hair STRAIGHT next week. I can't deal with my natural/texlax hair in Chicago with all of this humidity!!!!

No amount of product, technique, etc can control this mess.

Ugh!!!!! Why did I do this to myself.

I am currently sitting with my mid-week DC in my head after co-washing. I definitely need to trim my hair. I know you guys are probably sick of hearing it already, but this weekend's protein treatment combined with the heat DC is changing my LIFE right now. My hair feels incredible, and is so defined and moisturized and totally tangle-free. I had no idea how abused I was by having to deal with it before.

Anyway, the only thing I noticed tonight is that even though my shedding has dropped by like 90%, I still have a few small broken pieces of hair. Definitely time for a trim. I last gave myself a teeny tiny dusting in January, and before that it was like August or something. It clearly needs a bit more this time. Come Saturday, it's on!
Frankly, I need a proper stylist trim since my last one was in July or August 2014, but not in the mood for it.

Oh I totally forgot. I think my hair grew from this inversion thing! I could pull my wet hair to just under my breast, now it pulls quite a bit further past. I'm impressed. It's definitely not something I would have noticed if I didn't make it a point to measure, but it's growth anyway!
