Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

No hair (or makeup or nail polish lol) purchases this month so far. Woo! I was doing pretty good not buying hair stuff but I just shifted to buying makeup and nail polish. Trying to reign all that spending in.

I'm really enjoying my flat ironed hair. It feels like it's texlaxed. Ive been moisturizing it with olive oil. Day 4 and no reversion. Is it possible to get heat damage from a flat iron on 325 degrees? :scratchchin:

I sure feel free. Don't have to detangle. I waited too long to do this.

I almost started a thread but I would get attacked by the hair police. I have been natural for more than a decade. And I just dont know what to so about my hair. I have very fine hair that doesnt really hold its own curl pattern. It loves to knot up. Lately I have just gone to pony tails.

Well last week I had to comb out large knots well dreds out of my hair. Not the first time.

I don't have any easy options. Any loose style has to be redone every night. Even my straight hair will try to knot up on its self.

My Hair actually is healthy. It's grazing WL right now. But I never wear it out anymore because of the time envolved.

I dont like braids or dredlocks. My Natural hair can only roller set well with those 1/2 or smalled rollers, the grandma ones.

You may already be doing these things:
1)I'm a firm believer in keeping afro-textured hair lubed to the "gawds," so your strands can't start lovin' on each other and tangling up. Also, don't sleep with it lose.
2)I know you don't like braids, but can you do 2-4 braids at night under a bonnet or silk scarf to prevent tangling/knotting up?

You should start a thread, so everyone can't help you flesh this out. There's no hair police here, lol.

Waistlength wow! With that length you an do a plethora of updos. Also with twistouts and braidouts, have you tried using a styler?

I’m doing a 2 week no buy mini challenge. Trying to curb spending between paydays. Now I’ll forward my amazon cart to my boyfriend and he can do what he wants with it lol

Day 5. Still looking ok! I'm loving this flat ironed hair. I will post pics as long as it lasts. I hope I can get 30 days out of it.

Styler? A Stylist or do you need rollers? I am open to suggestions.

Maybe stylers like rod sets or curl formers?

Oh no, years ago I tried these and it ripped a chuck of hair out (I told you very fine hair) and the style did last long. I haven't tried them in years however

I am going to BKT my hair. It helps with the knots and I realized its been 5 months or more since I last did a treatment.

My mom just complimented my blowout and asked if I recently cut my hair. I haven’t trimmed since February. It’s good to know that my ends look good though. I’m not trimming again til August. I’m trying to get these inches :look:

water_n_oil · May 2, 2020

My hair has been really shiny lately whether I do a full wash or quick rinse. I have no idea why though. Possibly the shower filter? Which I previously thought wasn't really doing anything.

Ok another unpopular thought today. Why am I growing my hair long? I got to TBL once then had to cut to Jaw length then regrew and cut and now again to WL.

I straighten my hair today, I kinda look like cousin it! Ha!

I’m not a fan of my hair when it’s long and straight. The only reason I want long hair now is because in order to have shoulder length curly hair, I think I need floor length hair.

I was supposed to prep my hair for wash day tomorrow. I just did some Dorothy braids. I’ll figure it out in the morning

ItsMeLilLucky · May 4, 2020

@Prettymetty Okay girllll, you thick :lachen:

Hair flourishing and stuff.

I forgot that the first 1-2 inches of hair on my crown grows from my scalp with no real curl pattern. This wng was pretty but so frustrating...
