Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Plushottie]

Y’all I got on the scale just now and it changed my dang life. I have out on 70lbs since the start of the pandemic. ATP idc what’s going on with my hair. I gotta work out. If that means I need braids, then that’s cool. My first goal is to get under 200lbs by Christmas.

Do what you must but don’t beat yourself up. I was looking at pics from before the pandemic and

I think my hair (scalp) likes green tea rinses the best!!

I just seen one of those trypophobia ads, I'm itchy all over, and now my head won't stop itching

I'm trying out if I can wash every 2 weeks instead of weekly. I just don't have the time or energy to be up in my hair anymore.

Give it a test run.

I hope it works well for you. If I go longer than a week detangling takes me a lot longer. And if I go 2 weeks I’m just asking for trouble.

@Napp I second this.

My hair doesn't really get tangled. I can easily finger detangle alone after one week so another week should not be so bad. Also I'm keeping it stretched via the bun so I'm not worried. It only gets tangles when I wear braids for longer than 4 weeks.

I wished my natural hair liked the same thing my relaxed hair liked. Life is so much cheaper

So much for going on a natural journey. Seriously consider relaxing or keratin treating my edges

I had a dream last night that I relaxed my edges. I’m seriously thinking about it

You don’t like the way your bun looks with natural edges? Have you tried setting them when they are wet with a styling product and tying a scarf over then while you dry them?

No I'm not a fan of the fly away edge look on myself. I can only stand the slick back bun if my edges are laid.

They look fine when I take off the scarf but look crazy as I'm out and about. Maybe I just have to accept that I do not have edges that lay

Let me try gorilla snot again....

I feel so pampering doing my hair after a workout like it’s a reward. Just want my hair to be a full sl/apl one day then I may throw all my wigs out.

Why did my kid give me a little tube of Sulfur 8. We just staring each other in the eyes. I ask "how long have you had this?" Kid "I dunno".

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

I tried again.

I saw an old picture of me with long twists done with marley hair. I went to buy the hair, came home and did all of 6 twists before I gave up. I don't know if I have the patience anymore, and I don't really trust people in my head.

I need to stop getting inspired and keep my hands out my head. I always wanna touch on it

so tired of my hair, really thinking about putting braids in again.

This is a mixed hair/nail thought

I applied my press on nails, then washed my hair the next day. I must say that I'm shocked that they stayed on and survived the whole wash day process ! They didn't snag my hair either! I'm definitely pleasantly surprised!

I just had a wash day after 9 long days because I forgot I got my hair straightened on 7/31 Now I want braids

I'm just gonna be wanting them though. My average is about 1-2 days before I'm taking something down. Idk if I'm sick of weave and extensions, tired of doing them, or it's the wrong season. I said the last time I was gonna wait until the fall to try it again, but I honestly don't know if I will.

 

[Plushottie]

I don’t know if this is even a thing but I feel my hair feels incredible after doing a light blow dry I normally don’t look at a heat tool until my next relaxer. Just a thought out loud

Getting more airflow to the scalp

That may be it my hair felt silky and I’m like but heat is a naughty thing

Grease is a naughty thing too and I use it. Everything thing in moderation

I just started noticing that the shampoo and conditioner I use to wear my hair straight doesn't cause my mirror to fog up like the products I use to wear my hair curly. I'm talking about right after shampooing and conditioning.

It's probably all 3 of your reasons why you wont allow those style to stay in. One day you'll enjoy keeping those styles in again.

I'm practically the same if not worse. I make it to finishing half of my head in braids and then I can't do anymore. I usually walk around for a week in a high ponytail with thick headbands. The take down is just as devastating. lol

I recently thought about why I'm not motivated to complete any style besides the wash n go. It dawned on me that in the past my hair would look busted if I left my hair curly/coily. To look decent, I HAD to do weaves, extensions, twist-outs or straighten my hair. I never knew how much effort and work it took to do those styles when doing them were not optional. I also wasn't willing to pay anybody else to do them because of how often I wore those styles.

Last week, I tried to straighten my hair. I don't know what possessed me to try my hand at using a round brush for the first time in 7 years. My muscle memory has been long gone. I quit after completing 1/6th of my head. I don't feel like learning this stuff again at the moment. Next time, I'm just going to pay somebody.

That's interesting, what's in them?
