Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

On break
*does happy dance* Found a Curl Activator that contains protein (what I need) and has NO silicones. Not only does it contain glycerin (like most Curl activators), but it also has panthenol— which is also in SCurl. I really do like the ingredients (except for the last one,but we’re not going to talk about it.:lachen:) *continues happy dance*

Funny thing is, I’ve been using this product on my human hair units for the longest time and never realized that it was a Curl Activator. I only JUST decided to read the bottle carefully and the ingredient list.

Now, I do love SCurl, but my hair needs a little more structure. I’ll try it on my hair in a few days, and report back.

What's the product? TIA!

I made my own Rhassoul clay wash bars this morning. I seriously can't believe how easy it was for me to make them! It took me all of 30-40 minutes (gathering all of my supplies, melting butters on my double boiler), mixing everything up, putting the mix in the mold and sticking it in the freezer to harden back up). I even stopped and gave my kids a quick science lesson on the different types of heat transfer while the butters were melting (I'm always looking for ways to make everyday things relevant for them!). I can't wait to try one next weekend.

On the Grow and Keeping it Simple
I've gone through two steamers, the first one I dropped like you did and the second one I messed up the unit because I didn't use distilled water.

It's not that they're delicate, it was of my own doing lol.

I wish I could blame someone else for this, but its me. I did this. All I can do is wallow in my own regret and drink sparkling cherry juice (since wine isn't an option for pregnant ladies). I may pour a little out for my lost homie.

I just moved in and I tried to be cute and wear my rollerset. It's like 100% humidity here. My hair said NOPE.

I went to a local salon and asked for just a wash n set, no blowout. I have a shoulder length relaxed Bob. I was quoted $45. I guess I'm spoiled from NY but NOPE.

So far I just have ended up bunning. I have no patience to do my hair if I can't wear it outside in fear it will be wasted effort. I'm back to making wigs again.

I went to a famous salon and my results are horrible... my hair lasted all of 1 hour. She claims my hair has to be trained.:ohwell:
Don’t feel bad. She either didn’t turn the heat up on your hair, or she straightened in big sections. At least you know your hair will revert back. Silk presses are risky. I don’t know why anyone gets mad when their hair doesn’t revert back from them.
Also, did you get a really good trim? If you had dry, split ends, and enough wasn’t cut off, your hair won’t hold a style and will revert back, trying to find moisture from the air.

You relaxed! How are you liking it? And congrats on your move!

I like it alot. It's very low maintenance and easy to care for. But then I moved (I'm going to post a big update soon) because of the weather I probably will transition back to my natural virgin hair and wear wigs. So far my ng is manageable I'll have to see if it stays that way as I continue to grow it out. If I can't do it I'll texlax.

That is exactly what I get for thinking I was cute.

I did a rollerset on my hair, had it looking long and luxurious. Went to the beach for Christmas vacay; that salty, humid air hit my curls and I looked like Tina Turner was the surrogate for Diana Ross and a mop!! There was no fixing that. I couldn't wait to get back home and wash my hair.
