Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

How was it?

A good book for those that have no clue about natural hair. I skimmed over the children hair section because I don't have a little girl..... Yet! Lol. But it had good pointers for newly natural ladies or those who are thinking about going natural. Information that I would have benefited from during my newly natural days.... 21 months ago.
 
I'm thinking of attempting large senegalese twists on my own this weekend. I want to try to do the whole twist from the crown method, instead of beginning with a crown. Evern since I saw the poster's havana twists I've been thinking about it. I really want havana twists but I don't have the hair and down feel like buying it. Plus I have already have the other hair from my last set of twists my cousin did for me. Still debating, but I think I'm leaning towards giving it the old college try.
 
Bought a small flat iron and did my ends. For the first time since my T/U my ends looked nice.
With my new growth and all, my hair feels soft and is managable. But looks dry and frizzy. I'll be going for a T/U soon.

I got my hair back in shape. Maybe it's time to let the hair dresser take over again. They know how to make my hair bouncy.
 
Cowashed w/V05 Moisture Milks (I need a new conditioner though, I realized it's not as moisturizing as my other products), applied my leave-in (dwindle down to one! YES!), detangled, and M&S'd my hair into two braided pigtails. Going to wear a braidout for my bf this Valentine's Day :) Really hoping my new leave-in brings me fabulous results...my hair felt so nice and soft when I formed the braids so I'm hoping that they'll look just as nice but the time I take them down later today.
 
I want highlights, a mix of chunky and thin streaks, in a rich mahogany color. something like this:

not into hardcore bleach and dye, so i'm thinking lightening with honey and then a medium ash brown rinse, to town down the red.
 
Tryin to figure out how I am going to maintain my bangs while i transition/go natural. Because I have to flat iron my bangs its interuppted the new forming curl pattern and looks a hot mess. I always have to bantu knot the crown of my head so it doesnt look a hot mess.
 
I've been wearing my hair straightened lately & surprisingly I've yet to miss my curls. I guess only time will tell what this means for the future of my hair.
 
Why in the world did it take me so long to discover Kimmaytube...I'd mostly been watching Mahoghanycurls and Naptural85 (talking about one extreme to the other :lol:)...I LOVE Kimmy's videos and her hair texture is closest to mine out of everyone that I've seen on YT so far. Watching how far she's come in 3 years is so inspirational.

I'm exactly the opposite...I transitioned with heat training and now that I'm fully natural, I'm exploring my curls and trying to repair my dryness from sulfates and silicones. A few weeks ago I stopped blowdrying and flat ironing and I don't miss my straight hair at all.
 
My mom told me when I was a baby pre-perm she used to have to section my hair off in 12 parts and wash each part separately cause my hair was so thick. This scares me. I can feel the density coming back with the ng, I wonder if all that thickness will come back.
 
In the mood for a blowout. But I'm in heat free challenges! Calling off no heat 2013 and suffering my lhcf bootcamp punishment. Faiiiillll. The rollersetting challenge is still going well at least!
 
Good grief, Ouidad moisture lock leave in is amazing. I used it for the first time this week, wet two day old twist, applied the leave in, applied oil mix over that then Shea butter to seal it all in. My hair stayed soft and moisturised for 4 days!!! :kisses: I didn't have to rewet for 4 days. I don't care how much shipping costs, this will be my staple leave in from now on. Bye bye Giovanni direct leave in :).
 
Thought I was going to have company today & have to un-do my braids but they canceled. Oh yeaaaaa! I can leave these bad boys in for another week. Yup! ;)
 
Started wearing my real hair on 1/30/2013 after eons of wearing weaves, and just at APL (after relaxer and trim) :ohwell:.
2013: my year to learn how to take care of/handle/style my hair everyday without weave or frequent hair stylist; so far so good.
 
I get into these phases where I can't be bothered with a wig. Right now is that time. It is for 2 reasons. The challenge for me is I don't have pretty hair. It's quite ugly and unmanageable for me. I am so tempted to relax it again as it's its been since Sept since I got a retouch. I just want to wear a phony bun and be done. But I want it to be slick and smooth. I have some gel but I'm wandering if there is anything better to hold this thing called hair I have down?
 
I am so tired of women who are damn near bald ( i am not exaggerating). telling me I'm "obsessed" with my hair and "it don't take all that"...... First of all how would they know what it takes? They have damaged hair that is breaking off!

Second, I don't bother them. Why do they always bother me???

If you obviously don't care to take care of your hair, I am not mad at you but leave me alone! Dag...,!

Rant over.
 
I'm at the auto repair shop and there is a woman with her hair in pigtails and its so long and thick. I wanna ask her what her reggie is but I'm not that type if person.
 
Lamaria211 is mad at everyone who has tried Bee Mine luscious balanced cream moisturizer and didn't tell me it was THE BOMB!!!! Bye bye Elasta QP
 
My hair is shedding too much. I tried my garlic treatment, protein and moisture DCs, and tea rinses do nothing for me. Going to the salon tommorow to get touched up. I hope M &S I just did does not mess me up.
 
Used to fully wrap my head. Noticed breakage at the crown (esp on my temples) from wrapping. Now cross wrapping but its killing my ends. Lose lose situation here D:
