Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Hey Sis, are your Black pins older than your Brown ones by chance? I ask because your post prompted me to search on Amazon for reviews and it seems that based on the newest reviews, the company is now using a cheaper more brittle plastic which tends to break very easily

I purchased these pins years ago in black and still have 4 left. I don't recall them ever breaking on me - my only issue with them was that the plastic seemed to peel a little over time but the pins were still usable. I was interested in purchasing more of these pins in black, but not anymore since the quality seems to have gone way down over the years

Thank you for this! I'm not kidding about every single 'new' one breaking on entry or exit. Save your coins, please. I have half a pin stuck in my hair right now. I was beginning to think they'd gone 'bad'. I have old black as well as new black :cry3:

, brown and clear :cry3:

. I bought them all years ago and just knew that as long as I didn't lose them, they would last for life. Excluding the 'older' black pins, they are practically useless now.

Wow that's ridiculous!!! I knew it! Why do these companies always have to mess up a good thing? Yeah they may save some money by using cheaper plastic now, but in the long run they will lose it all and go bankrupt once the word spreads that their product is now useless!

I'm so glad you posted about this because I was sure enough planning on ordering some more to add to my stash ... but NOPE not happening! I guess I'll have to hold on to my 4 OLD ones and pray I don't lose any. I hope you can get the broken piece out of your hair without incurring any damage sis :nono:

Yep, hold onto those 4 pins tight. I just 'sealed' my hair with some Shea butter and took the opportunity to remove the broken pin and rebraid the back. It's a shame. Where is the quality? People really know how to lose customers.

These pics just don't want to upload. I had better pictures with a much neater French roll, but since I could not get those to upload I had to do a messy roll so you'd get the idea. I plan on making more pins.

Just imagine my hair neater.

Gonna make me some more hair barrettes while watching the Golden Girls

. That's how my Friday night's looking.

It’s cute, I just think it should be bigger. You’re hair is so thick, that it seems to overtake the pin.

Thanks! the size of my hair overtakes everything.

Thank youTip # 1: Make them bigger. Got it. I will apply this good advice tonight!

Was setting my hair last night and about 50% through my head I realized I hadn't used any product except water. Ugh! Used product on the rest and there wasn't a huge difference, lol.

I cut all of my relaxed hair off and I will get it shaped and tapered in the back soon. I plan on keeping it short and wearing wigs to get my straight hair and color fix

Congratulations! :dance7:

Angela Bassett's locs in Black Panther had me drooling. I wasn't even paying attention during her scenes, lol. The contrast of the color against her dark skin is what dreams are made of. :cloud9:

Can I look like that at 59 plz?

Silver locs are made for brown women.

They have other xtreme gels available on ebay. I wonder if they mimic the original or are even better

Hair wash day was yesterday. I still don't feel like washing it today. Maybe tomorrow.

curlyTisME · Feb 23, 2018

I need to get my act together. I’ve been neglecting my hair and that’s not my style at all. I’m ready for consistent warm weather so I can WNG daily.

I have a 35oz tub of the old formula if u’d like to buy it for shipping only. I only used it once.

Sharpened · Feb 24, 2018

My hair and skin are loving the humidity right now. Winter, be gone!

Rocky91 · Feb 24, 2018

I'm traveling and really didn't bring any hair products. Sooo this rosewater spritz that I use in my skin care routine is going in my hair to rebraid for a little more definition for an event tomorrow. And it feels great! I might have to keep doing this!

So happy I finally have a lead on my scalp inflammation and hair loss!!! Ahhh I'm so excited! I think my magnesium pill is dosed too high. So I will stop taking my magnesium pill for a month to see what happens.

Now even though my hair's moodiness had me all the way done earlier I feel rejuvenated. I will be so thankful if this could all just be over and I can start recovering.

I might even shave my head again, lol...

Shave your head you say?... lol I won’t push you off of the ledge, but I’m down here enjoying my hair and not worrying anymore! Lol

Maybe tmi I just have to express myself.

It’s been a week and a half since I washed my hair due to terrible morning sickness. Just could not deal with my hair. Left it in a messy bun all this tine.

Took my hair down to find back of my head was all matted and dry. Oh and so ITCHY! Doesn’t help I been dehydrated since I could not hold liquids down. It showing in my hair for real. Finally giving my hair the TLC it needs and I am feeling so much better. Sitting with d/c on.

I am starting to feel human again

Hugs. We understand. Congratulations on the little one to come. So glad you are feeling good!

YvetteWithJoy · Feb 24, 2018

I really need to get a better twisting cream. The reviews suggest I would like Curl Origin's. But if I order it, it wouldn't make sense not to get their DC that I think has a high chance of really working, due to its different ingredients.

However, I can't justify bringing any DC into this house. :cry3:

So I'm trapped in a feedback loop of not being able to purchase the twisting cream. *sniffle*
