Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[KidneyBean86]

I see all the beautiful heads of hair on this board and wish I could get my hair super thick. With my shrinkage, I will forever be at TWA status.

 

[Sharpened]

I still cannot get the Album function on here to work for me.

I've been using the Mane Choice growth oil and I like it. I have no idea if it is actually giving me accelerated growth because to be honest I don't pay close attention to my regular growth rate BUT I do know that it feel like within a week of getting them installed, my twists were slipping down.

It smells very nice! pleasant surprise because i still have nightmares of that wild growth hair oil that used to be popular and smells like hot garbage. i avoided all growth oils after that because i figured they would smell the same.

Shrinkage is the eternal gift and curse of natural hair.

I remixed my length check tee today
I took it in on the sides and made it low cut. It fits much better and my measurements will be more accurate.

Y'all...I bought products...even though I said I wasn't...cause I'm a product junky.

So spontaneous wash day with : SM JBCO Shampoo, Eden DC, SM Curl Smoothie, KCKT leave in, and Carol's daughter Mimosa Hair Honey.

Hair so soft. I don't even know what did it, but hair so soft. *strokes*

Oh another note, I don't know where I think in my mind I'm a put all these hair products I keep buying.

I think my edges may be getting a little thin. Nothing obvious and I can't tell by looking at old pics, but I feel like its true. Now the question is, do I wear it in down and out styles from now on or just leave the edges free and still bun?

All the birthday people havent logged in for awhile. Hmm....

Someone just gave me a Shea Moisture edge treatment that they didn't want. Not really sure what I'm supposed to do with it. It says "smooth and hold" but it doesn't smooth or hold anything. Plus my hair hates shea butter. Oh well. I really like the gel-cream-sorta liquid texture of the product though.

Maybe you can use it for braidouts? Or Bantu knot outs?

Had to work my off day last weekend and I've just been playing catch up ever since. No hair time and its pretty pissed at me. Planning a wicked session starting friday night

 

[Rocky91]

Getting my first sew in since the big chop tomorrow. Kinda nervous because I honestly don't know if I'm gonna have enough hair to blend or if I'm going to have to use that closure that I ordered that hopefully comes in time....

Why won't my hair wrap?!

When I was relaxed it would wrap perfectly. Even with a fresh press my hair won't cooperate. I think I am just going to go back to roller setting.

The temptation to bump my ends every morning with the flat iron is overwhelming.

***deep sigh***

 

[Sharpened]

Since I am not styling my hair, the SLAP is too tight to use. I think I need a bonnet; I hate bonnets, LOL!

It will be a while before I need anything this big:

 

[ClassyJSP]

I don't know how I managed to misplace not 1 but 2 wet brushes..

I am so missing my hair right now. I actually can't wait for this cruise to be done with so I can enjoy my lovely tresses again. It feels like it's been forever

So I just wandered onto the miss Jessie's site to see what's new. And I got hit with sticker shock it's now $32 for the 8oz and $58 for the 16oz baby buttercreme and the ingredients are worse than ever

honestly I stopped using it ages ago when the ingredients started to decline now the good ingredients have practically disappeared the only good thing about it is it has Shea butter way down close to the bottom and it still smells delicious. But those ingredients could clog up traffic much less hair follicles.

I just saw a ton of these at Marshall's in my area. If they're reformulation AGAIN, then that explains why. Smh.

On that note, I shouldn't have left those dandruff SheaMoisture masks on the clearance shelf. They were priced at $6/apiece. I'm going back tomorrow to get them.

 

[JerriBlank]

Hrmmm, the discontinued SheaMoisture Cocktail mix is $17.99 on the site. They were $9.99 in Marshall's...*sigh*
I'm getting those too. Lol.

I had one of these. it was so massive I felt like I was suffocating when I went to bed. too much extra fabric. not to mention I got clowned by my fam for wearing that thing lol

Have you tried cross wrapping?

 

[Miss Kane]

Have you tried cross wrapping?

I haven't tried that. I'll give it a try and report back. Thanks for the suggestion!

 

[Sharpened]

I got a flippin' bald spot!

 

[Saludable84]

I got a flippin' bald spot!

How? What happened?

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

Happy birthday @flowinlocks

@Wildflower

 

[Sharpened]

How? What happened?

I have no idea. I do not slick back my edges or put anything on them. There were two greys in the middle of it, so I am assuming it is age-related/perimenopausal.

I just hope I caught it early enough to reverse it. I will try the Xcel-21 Spray first.
