Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[naija24]

Yaye! Do what's best for you. Is Your hair going to be as long as your avi?

My avi before I got rid of it....it was probably at 7 months of growth. but i had TWO trims between my big chop and that picture so it may be longer. I don't know.

Think I'm going to wait until spring to color my hair. I just thought about it and it makes no sense to do it now when all I do is keep my hair in a bun or twists hidden under a beanie. But I really wanted to color for Christmas. Think I'll just do a crochet wig or two.

Since i relaxed my hair it gets dirty quicker i have to wash it every 2 days .

If you guys use Organix dry oil of any kind and find it drying add 1 1/2tbs of pure jojoba oil .it works soooo much better .

Ugh...I can't find any cellophanes to purchase online
Where do you buy ColorShowers, Sebastian, Adore etc. ?

 

[DarkJoy]

The winter is destroying my nape. These coats, scarves, and sweaters keep tangling and drying out that area.

Sounds like its time to switch to silk and satin scarves?

They aint gonna keep your warm though

Last year the winter DEMOLISHED my nape. It was terrible. I'm still recovering from it now. Last year I wore a lot of crocheted scarves that were made for me by loved ones. Huge mistake. This year it is all satin scarves for me.

My WNG looks so good today (day 4 hair) that I really don't even want to wash it.

[MzLady78]

I feel like straightening my hair to do a length check. It's been awhile.

But umm...I'll need to go get my eyebrows done first. My wig has bangs and they are a mess.

No not my first time. I've been using the line in my rotation for a few years now . Typically I will cowash, finger detangle in the shower, use the kckt leave in and put the KCCC on top of that then air dry. I section my hair in maybe 10 sections then rake and smooth it through with my fingers. I use maybe a nickle to quarter size dollop per section depending on the texture of the section.

Your hair looks amazing I picked up a jar on a a whim but I always put off trying it bc I figured it wouldn't be thick enough to define my curls. Does it dry soft?

The first day it is a little crunchy but that's ok for me. It takes aaaaallll day for my hair to dry so I don't even attempt to scrunch it out because I don't want to touch it while wet. The next day and from there on out for me it is soft and moisturized feeling. The first day is crunchy but not in an eco gel kind of way. whiteoleander91

Thank you! Sorry, one last question: you say this gel is in your rotation. What other gels do you use?

You aren't bothering me!!

Ummm.....eco gel (rarely though these days), aloe Vera gel sometimes and I feel like I'm forgetting something. Let me go look at my stash....

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

Oh! As of late I've been using miss Jessie's coily custard which I like almost as much as the kinky curly.

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

whiteoleander91 you hair looks much much silkier than my hair and you have real curls whereas I don't so I don't know how much you will like the products I use so take all that with a grain of salt.
