Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Napp]

I went to a Dominican salon and paid almost 150 (with tips) for these foundation braids. They are staying on my head as long as I can stand it! At least 2 months!

Got pic? Thinking of braids but not sure what to get.

No. I should’ve taken a pic when I first braided it. Now my braids are all wrinkled up lmao

It's ok. Thanks!

I tried a 3-strand twists for the first time and got the best twist-out on my hair thus far. Also helps that my hair had grown and had a bit more hang now.
Pics are Day 2 hair after going to the gym last night and attempting to pineapple it for bed.

Not yet! I need a review of the new Doux products lol

But seriously what makes you want locs? I heard they are very freeing

I’ve been wanting them for years. And I mean YEARS. I’m tired of my curls webbing. Detangling is always a nightmare if I wear it curly and wait too long. I loveeeeee my hair curly but I always feel I suffer length when I’d do better to keep it in twists. @Napp

Sisterlocs are beautiful. How long does the maintenance tightening take?

I drove to Austin today and spent some time with my sisters. One of them took me to a hair store. I bought a wig. Synthetic and kinda long. Loose wave. I’m expecting it to last a week or 2. I’ll update with a pic later

I over did it and suffered some breakage. Creme of Nature Plex is very good. Totally surprised.

I hate sleeping with wet hair with a burning passion lol

This is the main reason why even now with locs I want a revair or a super fancy hooded dryer. I wanna wash my hair often but I CANNOT deal with wet hair.

This was the main reason I put off getting sisterlocks but once mine settled and I didn't feel like as much of a plucked chicken (about month 4/5), I really loved them. They shrink, curl and fluff up like my natural hair so I honestly do not miss it much. I miss straightening my hair and getting it into a high bun (had to cut out a lot of damage before I got them) but I feel like once I get more length, I won't miss those as much.

I don't have super dense hair, and it takes me 2hrs every 6 weeks. I have a mix of small and medium sizes because of how fine my hair is in some areas.

*sings* My heart telling me sisterlockssss, but my brain, my brain is saying nooOooh. You can't afford the maintenance (or time), and your patience is looooWwwwww. Yes I see something wrong

Why did I sing this? Some things become universal

Made it through February and no hair products purchased. Let's see if I can do the same for March.

So im wondering if i need a better water filter. I have a filter from home depot but i looked on amazon and found ones that filter better. Then i had the bright idea to try to find a handheld shower held that also includes filters. Lo and behold i found one! So i order a filter for the shower pipe plus the handheld shower head filter, each one has 15 step filtration so im getting a two step filtration and a total of 30 stage filtering. Im hoping to see improvements in my hair and skin health

I wonder if I'll ever feel like my texture doesn't need a little altering whether it be by chemicals or heat.

 

[Plushottie]

Just want my hair a solid bsl length so I can feel cute if I’m not in wigs.

I truly hope so. I want all black women to love their hair

This is why I don’t come into salons

I changed my work schedule for this appt and I’ve been up since 430 am. It’s 513 pm and I’m still sitting here.

This is why I don’t get my hair done in a salon anymore. Caribbean owned Not that far from me. And I know folks that go to her. It’s a wrap. If my hair wasn’t 3/4 done I would have left at 4.

What are you getting done?

Honestly, I think I'm a lost cause. I've never liked my natural hair even before heat and chemicals were an option. I just deal with it. *deep sigh*

This post sent me on a Google journey. I’ve watched YouTube videos, read reviews, etc. Long story short: I’m getting this today

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

I got a weave. @Napp

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

Get a weave and now all the white men love me at work. Never fails. All the black men are , what happened my sister?

always feel the need to comment on what women do and how they dont like it or do.

Same. I’ve hated this hair all my life. Now that I can manage it with heat it’s tolerable
