Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

That’s understandable. Before I recently injured myself at my job, I have regularly training for some years now.

To be honest though, I don’t mind the frequent washing. I recently finished a braid challenge, but even then I still always revert back bunning because I’m mostly lazy lol.

If anything maybe something like a cute Bantu knot style, or Dutch/French/English braids? That way you don’t have to a lot manipulation.

Lately, I've been playing with new heat toys/tools.

But I pretty much wash and go every day. Once your hair gets used to it, it's pretty easy.

I don’t know what to believe about oils/butters. Some people claim they are great for sealing in moisture. Others claim they build up on the hair requiring shampoo to remove which causes a cycle of dryness.

My life would be simpler if I just used store bought products and didn’t do oil rinses and make my own shea butters.

I guess I just need to figure it out for myself. None of this was an issue when I wore buns, but wash n gos are a whole other story.

Thanks, adding those ideas to the list. :) I’m super lazy with my hair and was washing it once a week but that’s not going to work anymore. Lol

I’m so sad right now. I could not figure out why my scalp was feeling so irated and why when ever I scratched my scalp it still seemed dirty even after I just washed it. I was watching a video from Dr Dray when I realized I probably have dandruff. :( I wanted to try different things but nope going to work on healing my scalp first.

Try a trial run of no oil & shea for a bit to see how your hair responds. There's plenty who don't use them.

I can’t STAND these sometimey *** mail carriers. I really hate that our original mail carrier retired because I NEVER had a problem getting my mail. My package been out for delivery since 8:49am. It’s 6:31 p.m. and the heifer didn’t even attempt to deliver my package. Took it right back to the station. Got me all excited to start my hair. I’m a very understanding person if I have some kind of communication, but I didn’t get anything. Not a **** thing. This why I hate ordering online, unless it’s FedEx. At least I can have it shipped to Walgreens so I can pick it up when I’m ready. Ugh :mad:

Oh wait, get this: It’s just been marked as Notice left: No Authorized Recipient.

There’s no notice, and I’ve been home since 3pm.

+1 on seeing how your hair responds without them. For my hair I think they block out moisture. I will use a tiny bit of oil on my scalp sparingly in a protective style. Something light. But other than that my old hair oils are collecting dust.

All my curly hair research is turning me into a PJ

I already bought SM products shampoo and conditioner, then I got Devacurl conditioner

Now I want NYCcurls and Briogeo. It will take me forever to try and evaluate all these things.

I’m just going to take a deep breath and finish my SM products.
