Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I am feeling better today. Day 1 down successfully in eating healthy. I just need to learn drink more water (drank 3 of the 16.9 oz bottles water). Still, I feel good in getting started. Also, I moisturize my hair earlier tonight. I planned to do a deep conditioner tomorrow if not Wednesday night.

Took the PuffCuff out of my hair since I realized I can do the same wrap around bun without it using the same silk scrunchie I use with it. My only concern is whether the middle of my hair will get tangled now.

I think I'm grazing MBL but it doesn't feel like it. My hair is thickening up thanks to a consistent hair regimen at the roots (I had a lot of breakage there) but I guess I'm getting impatient with wanting a fuller look to my hair. I also found my hair scissors so I can trim consistently again!

My Jakeala Shiloh Hair Balm arrived today. OMG. The scent. :drool:

This natural thing has unearthed my PJism!! Something I haven't experienced in years since I started my hair journey (as relaxed). I feel like I'm buying new products to try every week! Sigh...**huffs out of thread**

Been wearing my hair straight these last few weeks. I need to invest in a new cotton pillowcase for babygirl and I.

Might reup on some Manetabolism too.

Those iron tablets are horrible. The things it does to your stools. :nono:

I don't take as many as my doctor has prescribed, because my supplements have iron in them and I don't want to overtake on iron.

I stopped taking them for a while because I was simply fed up of it. Then I woke up one morning and I could barely stay on my feet. As I did my commute into work I was scared to get on the train because I thought I was going to faint. I started back on the tablets the same day. It's a deficiency that's not to be underestimated and it wreaks havoc on the hair, well it did on mine.

I take SlowFe. It's a slow release iron pill that is gentle. I haven't noticed any stools issues with it.

@cutiepiebabygirl, what was the Mielle Organics (I think) product that you recently mentioned as moisturizing to your hair like or better than Oyin Hair Dew?

Thanks in advance, cutiepiebabygirl (Every time I see your name, I hear the intro music and beginning words to "Sugar Pie Honey Bunch.") . . .

I'm on the hardcore tablets as my doctor is insistent that I take them.

So, I've been contemplating doing a midweek wash. And since I was off yesterday for a dental appointment I decided to try it out. I washed my hair at the time I usually get home, which is 5:00pm. I used Okay Shea Ultra Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner (I normally use ORS Creamy Aloe and Aussie 3 Minute), but I kept the rest of my routine the same and let my hair air dry. My hair was completely dry by 9:00pm and I go to bed at 10:00pm.

So, I think I'll add the midweek wash and see how my hair benefits. So far, I'm happy with the results.

I forget what my screen name is...LOL. I low-key hate it now, made it almost 10 years ago!

It is the Mielle Organics Organic White Peony Ultra Moisturizing Leave-In Conditioner .

I found 2 old giftcards from Target in the amount of $47 dollars total.

What (black owned) hair products do you ladies think I should purchase?

I would like a moisturizing conditioner and maybe a styler pudding/cream or whatever.

I would go with Mane Choice for conditioning.

Part of me is really toying with the idea of a big chop this go around.
Right now I'm in braids and plan to rock out with braids for a while.
The issue is, part of me wants to just be free and easy breezy with a big chop but then the practical part of me is like I'll get bored with it, might feel naked, etc etc. I'll be annoyed by the grow out process. I just like the look and chicness of a good chop or a tapered cut. Ehh I have time to see what I'll end up choosing.

Hi y'all, I'm throwing a lot of stuff in the garbage. I came across four tubes of Virgin Hair Fertilizer(unopened) and a can of Ouidad Whipped Curls Styling Primer 8.5 oz (used once did not like it). The primer cost me $22.00.

Does any body here want these for free? If so I'll send them.

Sounds interesting, I'll take them off your hands.

Soooo I didnt get to wash my hair yesterday...And its like mission impossible to wash in the week. I’ll have to stretch it till at least Friday evening. Needless to say my scalp is not pleased :ohwell:

Great! Just inbox me where to send them and they are yours!

Thank you so much, I just didn't feel right about throwing them away!!

I Am So Blessed · Oct 12, 2017

These are what you will be receiving just to give you a visual. The tubes are unopened. and the Ouidad was used once, but I did not like it. It is 85% full.

When wash day is still a chore post big chop.
Please explain why it's been almost 2 weeks since washing/DCing my hair....I have about 2 inches of hair. How lazy can I be not to wash a couple tiny inches of hair?

LushLox · Oct 12, 2017

I woke up to air dried hair that didn't dry. Oh well it went up in a bun and that was that.

It's getting noticeably longer to dry now, I'll have to start the process much earlier.

Anaisin · Oct 12, 2017

Her hair is nice

I Am So Blessed · Oct 12, 2017

I chose to forget about my hair and it worked! I have not even seen my hair for a while. I have been wearing hats and when I get home I take off the hat and throw on a scarf immediately without thinking. Now I miss it, it feels good to miss it.

She could have done that with just grease and water LOL.
Eta: Yes her hair is the bomb.

It took over 3 weeks to arrive and so just got here a few days ago. I haven't yet tried it but will very soon. It smells HEAVENLY. I put just a little on my edges this morning. Next time I plan to twist with it. I think I'm going to like it better than butter maybe!
