The Random Hair Thoughts Megathread

I purchased two black box dyes today, usually they cost $17 bucks each but they were on sale for two for $20, I couldn't pass that up

I've noticed that my sleep braids have gotten...looser? I feel like my braiding skills have improved a lot and they should be holding up fine, but the layers are slipping out in ways they weren't previously. Is it just that now that my hair is getting longer the layers that were getting stuck underneath other hairs are now poking out further down? Is it a change in my hair care? (I tried LOC this wash period although that was five days ago now) Is it user error? Not sure. I guess I'll just have to wait it out and see...

I think this sounds like layers growing out - definitely not a lapse in your abilities.

My new hairs growing back after the unfortunate TE situation last spring are about 4.5-5” long. (Hooray hooray, also there are so many of them; I can’t wait til my usual thickness is back!)

Yesss, there was a hedgehog as well that I'm sure you would have loved (because it was absolutely adorable ) but it must've been sold.

Lately I have been around several pages on Facebook/Instagram about long hair. A lot of people with this beautiful and healthy hair. And I realized I feel like not truly connected to * this * world of long hair because my hair is sooo damaged. I'm at that length that could be already described as "very long" from a lot of people in real life, but I don't feel like that because it is so damaged that I'll need several years to achieve healthy hair. Idc, I see a lot of people starting growing their hair without damages as mine, or people who basically have healthy hair but with the wrong haircare routine. Lhc is the only place where I found people in my situation. I had fun with my hair for almost 10 years and I don't regret nothing. It's just that my true goal is to regrow all my length with my virgin hair.
Also, I like my hair but it has this characteristic, that I think make it worse: it's not shiny. Indeed, it's extremely opaque from the roots, probably my hair itself is like this and the damage actually doesn't make it worse.
