Day 3 of using BlueMagic hair grease and I LIKE IT.
What I like:
The comb goes right through these ends! My ends don't meat & greet each other AS MUCH with this . Hair still feels moisturized.
That means more retention in my book.
What I don't like:
Not being true to it because I'm new to it. I'll be absolutely certain if I like BM in two more weeks.
I'll report back about this oldie, but goody.

I need to find a new salon because I NEED a salon that is open when to advertises that it will be open.
Thank goodness I called before heading over there because I would have been so upset.

You can come over to my house, I'll do your hair. I can do anything non-chemical related lol.

Am I the only one who gets really bothered when a hair is broken? Why did I have to touch it? I could have put my scarf on for bed and called it a day, but no I had to see how it felt.
I'm trying to take every single hair into 2018. I'm in the "no hairs left behind " program.

Short story: Once when I had a relaxer, I like a dummy DC'ed overnight. Had my plastic bag in with my scarf. I remember waking up in the middle of the night suddenly to the biggest itch on the upper side of my hair. I was Half awake half asleep.
So I scratched it, and scratched it some more. Than I dug my nails in it....oh that itch was severe(only in that one spot). I work up the next morning to rinse/comb it out. A hand full of hair came out lol.
Lesson learned: DON'T DEEP CONDITION OVRR NIGHT.
Hair becomes soggy and if you scratch it you're done.....Done.
Also When you sleep you can't gauge how hard you're actually scratching.

Short story #2: I had just got done flat ironing my WL relaxed hair, I had it nice and healthy at that point. Fast forward an hour or so........My BF, My Sister and I started playing Monopoly. My Sister got upset about something, I don't know. Next thing I know she grabbed my hair and pulled some out. It happened so quickly (I forgave instantly). When she left. I go check out my hair. Strands were coming down like a waterfall. (Sigh).
Lesson learned: DON'T THROW YOUR HAIR AROUND.
you don't know what's on anybody's mind at any given time. I never wear my hair out especially if I smell haters.(not saying that my sister was hating) you just never know.
Sometimes (actually always) it's better to sit pride aside and hide your crown & glory for yourself.

I ended up big chopping after deep conditioning over night. My relaxed hair was a tangled, mushy mess. No amount of prayers, patience, oils or conditioner could get out those tangles. Never again. I'll prepoo with oil overnight, but NOT conditioner.

Yup...that DC'ing overnight is something not to experiment with. "Mushy mess" is right. The scalp gets mushy too causing it to itch!

Well since we're talking about DC's I applied a generous amount about 3 days ago and haven't washed it out 
I am relaxed, and in my defense I was on my way to work and forgot I even applied it. It gets pretty hot at my job and it probably just melted into my hair. This weekend I wanna do a protein treatment because I wanna relax in a week or so.
At least my hair(and newgrowth) is soft

Did you take the plastic cap off? I do that after 10-15 mins. I get tired and lazy and will leave some conditioner in my hair.Well since we're talking about DC's I applied a generous amount about 3 days ago and haven't washed it out

I'll be there! I'll only be at the Henna Sooq booth though. I'm getting a henna tattoo done on my belly to prep for a maternity photo shoot. Hope to see you!
As disrespectfully as I've been treating my hair, I'm happy it's still growing healthily

I am loving my hair right now. On a using it up plan so no newbies. Just mixing a bunch of old stuff together. Mix as many conditioners as possible with a couple of squirts of protein conditioner. Add oil. Apply. Sit under dryer. Wash in braids. Apply a teeny bit of leavein. Blowdry using tension. Apply a bit of Chi Silk. Flatiron in thick sections. Apply more Chi. I do this about once every ten days or so...three times a month. My hair feels smooth. It is straight enough for me to work with during the week without being bone straight or too frizzy. I also retain more/manipulate less when my hair is straighter. When my hair and I get along, it is one less thing for me to worry about.

Summer where are you?
I need a blowdry cream that's really close to being natural. Any suggestions?
Colocha
acne cream and afro dreams
That would be lovely!
I am leaning toward tickets since the chances of me being around for another big natural hair expo are really low. I just wish they had a list of booths. I'm not really interested in the performances and talks they have scheduled. I was going for Henna Sooq too.

I was rushing out the door on my way to work and just put it in two buns, and let the sun marinate it on my way. I'm still using my Vitale Sensitive Scalp. I'm gonna get another one, but this time I'm gonna mix a container and put some in a bowl to the side.

We have a work event for DH's job tonight so I wore my hair in a curly bun/puff/updo thing (it's super cute & chic, trust me lol). So I ran into a colleague in the hallway and was chatting for a minute. She goes, "I love when you wear that hair." I'm like Oh yea this is my fast but fly go-to hairstyle. She says, "Yeah I just love the texture, it blends so well. Does it clip in or how do you attach it?" I'm like 
Um it's attached to my scalp. She started blushing and was like "OMG I thought it was like a piece or something!!!" Chile...... 90% of the time my hair is in a low twisted pony/bun or two flat twists. I was so tickled by this like, is this a compliment or shade LOL???

I'm tired of wearing a puff...a cute puff, but still a puff. I'm a grown woman!!

This tickles me so much. I think it's because your hair looks so perfect, that it almost looks fake lol.We have a work event for DH's job tonight so I wore my hair in a curly bun/puff/updo thing (it's super cute & chic, trust me lol).

Yall help me. Im trying to remember a relaxed hair youtuber from a long time ago. She reminded me of Fancy from Jamie fox show. her name was something like Rose or Marie?? I know it had a rose in there. She had shoulder length hair and always wore red lipstick, she's light-ish skin, very well spoken, pretty lady. She was similar to Ateyaa in that she kept talking about healthy hair but her hair aint neva grow. I havent seen her for years and I jst want to check if her hair has grown at all. I just checked up on Ateyaa and yall know how that went

I often end up doing that because DH likes to drive with the top down. I try to tie my hair down because if I let it blow every which way I'm afraid it will end up looking crazy.

We're not supposed to be able to grow hair. Our hair is not supposed to look nice unless we buy it.We have a work event for DH's job tonight so I wore my hair in a curly bun/puff/updo thing (it's super cute & chic, trust me lol).

This burns me up I'm telling you.
I know where these beliefs stem from, but still. Will we ever break away from that stereotype that WE ALL have fake hair? No more than an Asian can break away from being thought of as the "smartest" in the classroom.
We mind as well not even try to wash that bleach stain off our jacket because it's here to stay as long as this world exists.
