Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

YvetteWithJoy · Oct 20, 2017

I really need to finish doing my hair. The hair expo/conference is tomorrow, and I'm going to want to wear my natural hair.

My issue: I don't wanna get in the shower.

So I'm STILL sitting here letting time pass when I know myself and KNOW I'm going to want to be at the conference in my skinny jeans and heels, "nails done, hair done, everything done."

Hair is DEFINITELY not done. Must. Get. In. Shower.

I saw a few (10?) broken hairs detangling and it was So hard not to trim the sections they came from preemptively. I'm trying to hold off trimming (besides search and destroy) for a while since I trim so compulsively.

I would trim. I am a compulsive trimmer too, but it sounds like you could use a light dusting.

I'm running low on my holy grail leave-in. Not sure if I should try something new or stick with it. It's hands down the best leave-in I've ever tried. I really need to think about my 2018 regimen

Nothing new. I think that’s what we need to do for the new year.

I'm trying to be strong. I've been using this leave-in since 2012 and its never done me wrong. Soft, moisturized hair for a week or longer. I stray sometimes but always return. I think I'll stock up soon. Just opened my second to last bottle last week.

You use garnier fruktis (sp), right?
What other leave-ins have you tried that were not as impressive as the garnier one?

I wound up dusting pre wash and I feel so much better lol.

Doing a henna two step. My hair needed this.

Yes. Kinky curly knot today was extremely unimpressive. I used a curls leave-in, Jane Carter and Eden bodyworks. I also tried some others earlier in my healthy hair journey that were awful.

I don't think I like henna

I love keracare but those tiny arse 8 oz bottles of shampoo and conditioner are not economical especially since I wash my hair anywhere between 1-3 times a week. Nexxus is great too, slightly less so, but I don't feel like buying that again either. Those big bottles last too darn long. So I'm trying out Aussie moist again. I really hope I like it..

I would never mess with that stuff.. too much mixing for me.. can’t determine the same outcome with every use..

Finally running low on my leave-ins. I need to now trudge to the BSS and find a liquid leave-in that doesn't have glycerin.

YvetteWithJoy · Oct 21, 2017

Dallas Bella Kinks Expo was interesting. A lady invented a new roller. Shea Moisture is busy in a seemingly good way. I'll try to remember to share details/more/video/pics tomorrow. I'm now driving home. Today in general was great. :yep:

God has been really good. :smile:

Researching some hair related things :scratchchin:

I've been using Nupur 9 henna in a tea rinse for about a month.
It makes my hair shrink. I'm pleasantly surprised. Henna has a reputation for loosening kinks.

Going forward, I'm going to do Saturday morning new product combo wash n goes. This weekend I used Devacurl products next week will be Alikay Naturals.

KinksAndInk · Oct 22, 2017

I love my hair.

Tis all.

keranikki · Oct 22, 2017

Today I was able to make the following:
3 henna gloss applications
2 fenugreek smoothie pre-poo applications
1 clay hair wash mix (dry)
1 clay face wash mix (dry)
Face lotion
Body lotion
Body oil

I'm pretty proud of myself!

Yes some people do, but may they never disturb your peace.

Isn't there a thread/ review on Etae Products? I can't find the thread!

halee_J · Oct 22, 2017

@keranikki very nice! :up:

I diy almost all of my hair + body care . The only commercial product remaining is a body butter that i reach for now that its getting cold but im reaching for it less and less as I perfect my own lotion bars. Oh an i try to always get raw african blacksoap but Im working on a diy for that too lol.

halee_J · Oct 22, 2017

I’m hoping that this DC im freezing today works just as good when I thaw it...would save me time

I second this.

Lesson learned today:
1.) When using fenugreek in any concoction, please strain. Do not think your Ninja is going to break it down so that it is easy to wash out. :badidea:

2.) Wash out fenugreek with good ole shampoo before anything else or you will be still brushing out the gook when you are ready to style. :cry3:

I'm tired boss!
