Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[overtherainbow]

Somehow I managed to wash, condition, detangle and set my hair in 18mins. I combined a bunch of Naptural85 techniques and the Anthony Dickey WnG. I just let my twists down and it came out pretty good. It looks like a stretched WnG. Its not as polished as a twistout, but its still nice. I'll try it again next week and if its a success, I'll detail everything in a post.

I tried suave clarifying shampoo and it is my new staple clarifying shampoo. I love how it is $1!

My little Dominican lady has magical hands. She just gave me the best shampoo/scalp massage ever!! Now Im under the steamer with some Keracare Humecto. I hope it gives my hair lots of slip (fingers crossed)

Prettymetty Don't those scalp massages be the best! If I had the money to waste, I'd go get my hair shampooed every week just for the wonderful scalp massage.

I need to go look into this keracare Humecto

The 4c natural can't do **** around here without being informed she is aiming to be 'other'.

PlainJane are you relaxed or natural. I have heard great things I think from sister with real hair. But I'm scared of shampoos and tangling. That's why I just stick with clarifying conditioners with no cobes6

Thanks. I was charged $50 and I tipped the stylist $7, but Afterwards I felt that maybe it was too little.

I'm 10 months post. I don't move my hair around a lot when I clarify so I didn't experience any tangles. What clarifying conditioner do you use? Does it remove buildup?

I need to break the habit of buying backups of non-staple products.

Avalon organics. I was doing a trial test of just using that and then shampooing with c.o.n argan oil shampoo after. It was fine. But I got it at a discount and the original price is 10 something, and I really don't want to pay 11 dollars for that bottle

Just got a facial, laying on the cotton towel had my hair looking dry like cotton. I came home and started immediately moisturizing and sealing lol.

 

[Lilmama1011]

My hair is seriously way stronger and sheds less since the treatment. I'm doing a protein deep conditioner to as well and alternating hard protein with strictly moisture every week and see how that goes

 

[Lilmama1011]

I think that i have more growth than usual, I think

I hope they are giving Victoria on YouTube a few pennies on Amazon considering that they are now selling Kanechom and silicon mix as a package deal.

Going to use 3% pharmacy peroxide on my hair to remove this demi-permanent black color. I just am tired of it. Anybody have experience doing this?

No. But clay just recently removed all my indigo and some of the henna. A years worth if indigo and about as much henna down the drain . Totally unintentional trying to do the mhm.

Might wanna try clay masks a few days.... no damage to my fine strands either.

It feels weird being a member of this forum with short hair now and absolutely no desire to grow it out again.

Girl, it all about what you want. For as long as I e known my mother her hair has never been past shoulder length. And that's not by accident. It's always been good.

I don't know what to call it but I snapped. We were in the supermarket when I remembered that I needed to clarify so I went to get a bottle of VO5 clarifying poo. The minute I heard, "But don't you already have bottles.....", I snapped! In the aftermath, I felt a teeny bit bad lol.

Being a product junkie ain't easy.

I have cut my hair completely off several times, gotten pixie cuts, bobs, etc.. It's about hair and what makes you feel good.

Years ago when I first joined this forum (like '08), I remember seeing tons of pics of women with hair wayyyyyy down their backs. It seemed like everyone was on the journey to BSL and beyond. So I jumped on it too and made it to BSL. Now, I don't see as many pics of hair checks in siggies, profile pics, etc. This board has changed. I am natchal now and don't feel the similar motivation to grow my hair to any long lengths. This board has changed and it probably contributes to those feelings.

I cut my hair the year before last from hl. I wasn't planning on growing it back a second time. I'm changing my mind now and will likely go it at least mbl or wl. But I'm not as vocal about my progress this time around.

 

[sunnieb]

Interesting thoughts.

I still post pics, just not length check pics like when I first joined.

I do remember seeing length checks in almost every siggy back then. I was one of them.

I am debating on being a heat straightened natural again or doing the "temporary" Brazilian relaxer (not a bkt) I am gonna flat iron today
