Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[ItsMeLilLucky]

Still working on my hair.. I take way too many breaks…

Me too lol, in my defense my body just fights me when I try to go non-stop.

Yeah I can’t do marathon sessions anymore. I’m taking a break again! This is why I just didn’t bother much with my hair and would just cut it off. I know heat training is a process and my hair will take time to get used to all of this. But I can’t spend an entire day on my hair.

I’m tapping out! Back at it in the am!

Yeah that protein treatment was much needed. Mushiness is gone and hair is behaving normally

Washed my cornrows with a wig cap and had very successful results. I forgot how difficult transitioning is.

I finished straightening, but pinned my hair up and threw a hat on yesterday. I’ll flat iron/style tonight. I love the CHI iron guard spray? It is not sticky and does not weight your hair down.

What is the purpose of Olaplex? I forgot… I know it’s for bonding. I need to read the thread.. I’m not trying to be a product junkie. I got products and some new tools because I’m serious about heat training.
Oh I got a tool to clean my brushes..

Felt like a real lhcfer by using Amla powder in my dc today while being under the steamer. Def don’t see that being a wash day staple but my hair felt soft.

I've been fighting it in all areas of my life, but I realize I have to minimize...stuff. I can't think when I have too many options of things. This is a true depiction of analysis paralysis and my brains relationship:

Like yes, I love the idea of options, but the follow through be tew mursh. This is a main reason why I've started paring down my hair products, hair-styles, accessories, and tools. It was stressing me out

I'm working on it in other areas, but sometimes I bite off more than I can chew.

Self,
It's okay to rotate when you're tired of stuff. You don't have to have and do all the things all at once. Don't let the spirit of lust take control of you.

My press barely made it a week this time. I have an appointment this weekend, but my family reunion is this weekend. Decisions, decisions. The salon has hair botox on sale for $80 this week too.

I'm thinking about using heat more often and just wear my hair in a braid or bun. As much as I love the mini braids, they take so long to put in for me. I might just save the mini braids for the hotter weather. Also I need to find someone new for my silk presses.

This heat training or straightening my hair is no joke and extremely time consuming.

If you don't want to do it yourself, is there a beauty school nearby that could do a press and curl, or whatever it's called these days? LOL

ETA: That's also why I've been favoring cornrows.

Not that I know of. It's kinda dry where I am.

I would take my hair down if I had enough time today.

I guess my scalp wants air lol

If I buy biotin powder and msm, it will cost $28.00 16oz together but I’d have to buy vitamin c too. Unless I can find a msm blend that includes it.

Qhems mix is $39.00, non subscription. 8.5 oz.

Now , Qhems mixture does have additional things added in. Vitamin C(400g) D( 50 mcg) and K(45 mcg) and 70mg of Bamboo.

not sure if i want to do braids this summer. I might take my braids down after mother's day and give my hair a break for a while until I figure out what to do with all this hair.

I gotta be more frugal regarding haircare and learn how to do more styles outside of a basic twistout; braidout; and bun

After this washday, I realized that I actually prefer washing my hair in my mini braids. I had to be so gentle and use more hair products than usual on my loose hair.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

I waver back and forth between sisterlocs and growing my hair to mid back length.

May the LORD bless the creators of the TYMO hot comb. My hair feels so soft, and it got pretty straight for me being about 9? months post relaxer. I even did a crappy blow dry lol

How do you prevent clip-in extensions from showing when it is windy?

 

[Prettymetty]

My shrinkage is so bad right now and I know washing would make it easier to manage. I could do a light blow dry as well. Maybe after my errands.

My scalp sung a spirtual after washing today. Not sure why it was so dry but she sounded so happy after washing.
