Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I tried making my own flax seed gel and it came out okay. It was kinda watery, but it still worked well on my hair. However, making the gel was messy and too much work so I think I will buy some gel just in case I don't want to try making it again.

I tried the MHM for the first time and it's a lotttt, but my hair is super defined. I'm tired but will try to do it again tomorrow during my DS's nap. I'm hoping now that I know what to do, I can do the regimen more quick and efficiently.
 
I wanna try scrunching my hair with a holding product and air drying (relaxed wash and go). I need to order some Nairobi. But I ALWAYS wonder if they got in my nearby beauty supply store. But by now I could have had it.
 
After years of trying to find a good moisturizer, I'm just going to mix some things together and just create my own mix I can spray on when I have braids.:yep:

Can't wait to wash my hair tomorrow! I love wash days.:grin:
 
My hair has too much body. It looks shriveled up and short. That inversion messes you up. I guess I will be redoing it tonight

My hair is finally detangled fully I didn't lose a lot of hair surprisingly, it seems like no matter how much hair I shed my hair is still really thick...I am like a bear or sumthin' lol
 
sometimes my hair feels low density and thin and sometimes it feels normal or even thick, I am confused over this
 
Washed my hair today and kept conditioner in it after the wash. I just put handfuls of grapeseed oil on it and then Shea moisture gel and bunned it. My hair always feel best right after i condition it. Anyone condition daily and seal daily with the conditioner still in the hair? Pros? Cons? I'm thinking of conditioner washing everyday and sealing everyday in a wet bun like today

You could overdose on moisture and your hair could be too soft and mushy and that causes breakage. But idk if toy could alternate between moisture and something with medium protein
 
:lol: ditto my mom has really thick hair so i know where i get it from...no matter how much hair i shed my hair looks the same--which is a gift and a curse because sometimes i dont find out about breakage for awhile as my hair looks normal....:look:

Wow, didn't know that! I'll give this more thought before i implement anything then. The protein sounds like a good idea. Thank you :)
 
I finally used the eco styler gel in the clear container. I really like it. I think i like it better than the olive oil one.
 
Leaving my hair alone for majority of the time while keeping my hair well moistured has dramatically reduced the number of SSKs and tangles that I have, AND my length retention has improved.

I will be keeping up with low manipulation until exams next year.
 
So I am always lurking in the relaxed hair threads....I am natural and don't want to relax out of shear laziness and I love my hair but listen I LUVS me some healthy relaxed strands! It's something to behold!
 
Alright, which one of you was it?

I just went to Target and decided to do a quick drive-by past the hair care aisle :look: I was planning on picking up something by Herbal Essences...but a lady was standing next to where they keep the HE and she was picking up bottle after bottle of conditioner and fluff, and dropping them in her basket :lol: I know it has to be one of y'all!! She looked a little embarrassed, but hey, sometimes you just have to stock up lol. She completely cleared out the shelves, save for a few products!
 
So, I'm really supposed to be using up my stash :look: but after the HE debacle, I was feeling kinda down (lol) and I just happened to notice some new products that I've never seen before. They are by Clairol (same company that makes HE) and the product line is called "Hair Food". They had a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner with honey and something, and a volumizing shampoo and conditioner "Infused with Kiwi fragrance". I purchased the Kiwi condish ($9.99 for 17.9oz) and it smells very pleasant.

I saw these too while I was stopping by to get some liters of the herbal essences smoothing condish! I pretty much found my staples so I didn't buy one. They look good though.

I haven't jumped on bandwagons in a long time. This Shea Moisture Manuka better work whenever I use it.

Last time I was in Target I saw it but I didn't pick it up but these based on some of the ladies reviews I want to try it. I still have the SM Superfruit mask and conditioner that are still unopened... Pjism at it's best lol.
