I was trying to forgo the whole straight hair/heat styling process for a while. That was a big NEGATIVE. While I was trying to give my hair a break it was getting really tangled. I dont know wtf my hair is. It looks curly some days. Some days it looks wavy. I'm gonna call it "Wurly" and be done. Tuesday night I looked at my hair and I said " F that! I'm straightening this crap so it can be somewhat manageable." Soooooo I bought a new flat iron today. It's much smaller and cost more than my Andis. There is nothing wrong with my Andis, I just thought a smaller one would give me sleeker results. It's this Remington Tourmaline/Ceramic/ Titanium 1" iron and it had some hair stylist that supposedly worked on FRIENDS on the box. Like THAT was gonna make me want to buy it. There weren't any multi-racial people on FRIENDS.
Anyhoo, this flat iron was $40 at Wal-mart. I had to debate with myself b/c I really want to buy this Sedu iron that's running $115 on Folica. That's kinda steep for me to pay for a heat styling tool, but it had such good reviews. I decided to go the cheaper route and buy the Remington today and hoped it worked. It took me 1 1/2- 2 hours to straighten my hair that's because I decided to do right and do small sections at a time. When I'm lazy I'll just throw pieces into it and half ass straighten it. After bouts of tourette like screaming from putting the iron to close to my scalp, I think I kinda love it. It was gliding all lovingly and smoothly like a lover's hand through my hair. When I finished, it was shining and lying all smooth and soft. I could've done a Pantene commercial. I don't know if it was the iron or the TreSemme heat protector. I think it was the iron.
I decided I'd put some Indian coconut oil on my hair prior to wrapping it up for the night now I think it was a bad idea. First of all it's perfumed so when I smelled it in my hand I'm thinking " hey this isnt so bad. I can manage it." Now I'm not so sure. This smell is getting kinda obnoxious. At least it's not that Amla Oil. GEEZZZ I put that in my hair one day and didn't wash it out. When I woke up was like " WTF is that?" but I could never put my finger on it or find it. The smell was gettin worst and like it was following me so I'm gettin angry b/c I keep smelling this shit smell. I smelled my hair and finally realized that it was that funky amla oil. I had to hurry up and wash it out of my hair. That is disgusting and I'll NEVER do that again. When I "oil" my hair again with the Indian oils, I'm gonna make damn sure I wash it out ASAP the next morning. The oils are suppose to be so good for your hair. I don't know. It may just be hype but I have the Shikakai, Amla and Coconut. I've only used it a month. I don't know if its helping my hair to grow or if me just letting it be wild is. I do know that I see some growth. Five-six more inches and it'll be at my waist. Not that I want it that long but I do want another 3 inches.
Well, I'm going to go read a Harlem Night novel or look at the ceiling or something. I mean c'mon its 3:45 i should be sleep not on Blogger.
