Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

@YvetteWithJoy thanks for checking on me :bighug:

I'm feeling much better. I washed and styled my hair Friday. I'll wash again tomorrow, but this time I will dc with heat.

I've been working a lot trying to pass the time and get over everything. I may get that blonde ombre wig that I've been eyeing after I trim my ends. I feel like I need another 6-12 months to achieve my length goals.

What better way to wait it out than under a wig?:rocker:
Hey lady!
What keratin treatment would you recommend? And if I were to use it, how much new growth (i’m relaxed) do you think I need to start? These other type of smoothing treatments have eaten my hair up and leave the worse coating ever.

I'm easy going.
Hello Sisteren,
Well I thought I was really close to WL, but I think I still have a few more inches to go. I thought I only had 1.5 - 2". But since I have hard proof (pictures ) lol Ima slow my roll. I will share them tomorrow Lord willing. My sister took them, I'm waiting for her send them to me from her phone :D:D:D:D:afropick:

I used DE HCO spray, Aphogee Keratin Green Tea Spray, and It’s a 10 Silk balm to seal, then I sat under the dryer. My hair feels good! Is this a fluke? I liked HCO at first, then I hated it, but that was due to the hard water (none of my products were working right). This is my second time using it, and like it again. And I used the Keratin spray.. I guess I will use the spray once a week.

I decided to go back to Joico Moisture Rich shampoo and treatment balm since I now blow dry my hair on wash day. I went to Ulta and got buy two get one free deal. The ones I use to get at Marshall havent worked out for me. Its like its watered down or something.

I'm really feeling my unintentional twist out. U didn't get a chance to wash my hair his weekend. I'm thinking I'll just chalk and push it another week. I'll do 2 flat twists to get me through to the weekend.

I did pick up joico moisture recovery shampoo and treatment. I'm dying to try them though so maybe I will wash sooner. Hhmmmm

OK Keratin was the best and most cost effective for me. Low fumes, pleasant smell and easy on the hands.

Uncurly Keratin is good too, but the fumes are insane. It'll also leave your hands seriously chapped for a few days.

I tried a tannin based treatment too. Called blue gold I think...it was great at first, but I stopped straightening my hair for a few weeks. I feel like the results are cumulative. If you don't at least blow dry, it won't last as long.

Oh...hair related thought...I’ll probably wash tonight cuz I didn’t use KB last wash day and I can feel the difference. :mad: Oh and I can’t wait until my hair arrives from Sams Beauty. I’m ready to install these faux locs.

My apologies. I usually try to keep my posts at this thread about just only hair, but this is where I thought the original posters shared that either they were going through something or needed support. I figured it best to check in with conversation and post here in the same thread where they shared.

This post had nothing to do with anything you posted. I honestly don't even know which of your posts you're referring to. Don't ever apologize for being a caring human being. The "oh...hair thought" part was for me to get myself back on track before I started to act out about something that rubbed me the wrong way. I'm hangry :cry3:

Oh, cool. :smile: Sometimes I post in the wrong way or place, and I though I did it again. I hope your hair comes in soon and you like your locs.

I have a crazy story about Joico mrb. The very first time I tried it I purchased it from TJ Maxx($8 for the 16.9 oz jar), once I was done with that jar I went back to TJ Maxx to repurchase and they were out so I bought it from Ulta(mind you they only sell the 8.5 oz tube for 18.99) and hated it so much I threw it away. Now I thought to myself, surely a whole jar of conditioner that made my hair feel that good wasn't a fluke, so another time I was in TJ Maxx, saw it restocked and grabbed a jar. Sure enough it made my hair feel as good as the first jar. To this day I only purchase it from TJ Maxx:lachen:, sometimes I wonder if it's the real thing .

I will admit I choked for a minute she told me the price for balms. But my last two purchases from Marshalls let me down. I will probably get it from Amazon from now on.

My husband cracks me up. Every time he sees me mixing something up for my hair he asks me if I’m “cooking more hair drugs.” :lol:
I have been on a roll the last two days though. I made CP whipped shea with henna yesterday, decanted a batch of CP growth oil yesterday, started a new batch of the oil infusing today and brewed some green tea rinse today before leaving for work. When I’m in the mood for DIY, I’m in the mood for DIY!

DH told me I need to put something in the shower for him so he can cleanse his hair. That I told him he cannot shampoo his hair everyday, so he needs conditioner so he can run it through his hair and get some of the oils off without drying his hair. And he is using my black soap shampoo because that white stuff coming back.

Basically, he needs a shampoo and a cowashing conditioner. Idk what goes on in here anymore.
