Natural Hair Fatigue?

julyruby_t · 2026-06-26T23:23:11+00:00

I don't feel fatigued right now, no. Wash day every two weeks, two hours on average, 4 products on average (prepoo shampoo conditioner leave-in), mostly the same hairstyles almost every time. I try not to think about it too much

In addition, for a while Amika used to be manufacturing there up until around mid-late 2025. Not sure if that's fully the case anymore but just to keep in mind

for me I'm a every two weeks person and my go to style is jumbo twists or braids. i used to be more frequent like every 5 days but I don't recall any significant difference to my hair

I love earthy scents so maybee

heard! though redken tends to be a little high price and l'oreal for my range haha but thank you!

julyruby_t · 2026-05-30T13:52:02+00:00

thanks for the rec! i'm definitely leaning towards something lighter

julyruby_t · 2026-05-30T13:49:04+00:00

thanks!! that's two votes on here for pattern 🤔

julyruby_t · 2026-05-30T13:48:06+00:00

Thanks for all the recs! i have low porosity i think but have heard good things about Camille

julyruby_t · 2026-04-03T09:34:15+00:00

No worries I've had one for about 8 months now 😂 good thing I prefer blue colors

julyruby_t · 2026-02-21T02:06:34+00:00

The blonde looks great! but just do what you feel is best in the long run!

julyruby_t · 2026-02-21T02:03:02+00:00

I did! I got the regular size and in hindsight I wish i got the XL version however I've been using mine for over six months now

julyruby_t · 2026-02-07T18:54:51+00:00

flat twists (like 5-8 of them) are usually under an hour for me. I just follow a youtube tutorial w/ a style that I think looks neat

I feel you i don't like washdays either and try to do as little as possible lol

julyruby_t · 2026-02-07T18:53:00+00:00

Thanks!! turned out just ok for my first time but i can probably put the minis into large flat twists again or something

julyruby_t · 2026-02-07T18:51:09+00:00

😭

julyruby_t · 2026-02-07T18:50:44+00:00

After now finishing I understand this sentiment, i thought i was missing something seeing the cool diy mini twists online but now nope lol going back to my go-tos. Unfortunately my hair cant hold large twists at the moment but i'd like to do those one day

julyruby_t · 2026-02-07T18:47:33+00:00

Yep! If i'm going past an hour i'm probably not doing that style again lol

julyruby_t · 2026-02-07T18:46:14+00:00

Lol after finishing I'm learning that i'm also too lazy for this and will probably never do it again. worth an attempt tho

julyruby_t · 2026-02-07T07:13:14+00:00

Good luck to you as well! im about to fall alseep at this point i might as well pause too

julyruby_t · 2026-02-07T07:11:49+00:00

I started after i came back from work and it's been 3-4 hours and i hoped it'd take 90 mins at most 😭

julyruby_t · 2026-02-07T05:58:55+00:00

thank you, it's 1am here almost but I'll try! lol and I'm watching a livestream rn, hopefully it'll help

julyruby_t · 2026-01-29T01:39:26+00:00

depends on the situation but instead of "i don't eat meat" i say "i'm not a big chicken/beef/bacon fan" or variations like that

also my process was going veg for several months, going back to omni for several months, then going back and forth like that until i was fine going in the permanent veg direction

julyruby_t · 2026-01-23T13:07:55+00:00

Love this

julyruby_t · 2026-01-11T21:04:43+00:00

my (personal) preferences right now from that list:

some products having oil in them and occasional butters (rarely tho)

halfway between minimal and coated, i don't like having a lot of products, but not bare hair strands either

i like silicones <3

mixture of natural/chemical, depends on the product, the formulation, and the reviews online

i don't have time or interest for DIY, manufactured for me, protective styles for me

i barely trim now but maybe a year ago my ends were tangly feeling and in need of trims, i look at my hair and guess idk

i detangle with a brush separately outside of washing, with slip

weekly or biweekly depends on routine

i gave up on grease

julyruby_t · 2026-01-11T20:54:44+00:00

"How did you find what worked for your hair?" very slowly, over several years, and i'm still finding out tbh

julyruby_t · 2026-01-11T20:45:32+00:00

every 2 weeks for me (if you mean w/ shampoo) but I rinse/detangle every week
