The Rundown

Posted in Hairstyles by

In case you missed it, I was featured on Hairscapades yesterday for my Dry Bantu Knot Out. I wore that style for the day, then decide to take a nap. I tried the pineappling method, but with 3 pineapples since my hair is shorter. When I woke up later to go out, I decided to fluff and separate my hair and it came out fantastic! Don’t mind the fact that I’m messy, I was at j’ouvert for Labor Day weekend.

For this week, I’ve been bunning. Today is actually day 3 having a bun. Honestly, I hate it. It’s just a plain bun, no pizazz. Maybe I’ll try something different next week.

I’ve been dousing my hair with oil and then bunning it. It’s a mix of a few different types of oils and my hair is not even oily. My hair is sucking it up faster that I can put it in. I guess that answers my questions about why my hair felt so dry.

A friend of mine did a really nice style on her daughters hair. I’ll probably attempt it this weekend. Her daughter has much more length than I do, but it’s a protective style that can probably last a while (she leaves it in for 3 weeks). It’s also very versatile. I would post a pic or two, but I don’t want to put her child on the internet. I basically fell in love with the style and with her daughters hair. I suggested she quit her day job and do hair instead. =)

I’ve got 99 problems…

You know the rest!

As I mentioned before, the ends of my hair are so bushy. The only timw they don’t appear bushy is when i do a twistout. They’ve been like this since shortly after my big chop on 7.22.11. I thought it was because my ends were cut pretty blunt. I questioned if it was split ends, but how could it be if I just cut it? I’ve examined my ends and find no split ends, so why are my ends so bushy?

Recently, my hair has gotten really dry. (Like within the last week or two). I feel like no matter how long I deep condition it and no matter how much oil I put in it, it’s just dryyyyy. Could it be the change in weather? Is it time to revamp my regimen? I don’t wear many protective styles because of the length of my hair, but I do try to do low manipulation styles. Has it caught up with me?

Lastly, my scalp has been really itchy. I know it’s not dirty because it would start itching a day or two after I wash it. I haven’t added any new products to my regimen that I could attribute the itching to. Maybe it’s dry like my hair? People used to say that your scalp itches when your hair is growing. Could it be hair growth? Maybe I’m missing something in my diet?
