I would be concerned about that spot.

HanaKuroi Girl, I was definitely concerned! So I got in the mirror and saw what happened. Homegirl stylist sewed directly into my edges really tight. I got some scissors and snipped away at those and while the track is much looser my hair and head feels MUCH better. That was the only area that hurt as well so I'm not too concerned about the rest of it.

It's still pretty tender but I'm gonna see how it is in the morning. The stylist offered to loosen the track further if it still hurts, which is nice of her.

To be on the safe side I would have her loosen that track. I don't like edges being weaved up at all. I have seen the damage it can cause. :nono: I don't recommend it.

HanaKuroi my issue with that is that she would have to charge me for doing that. Because the way she did it, I would have to loosen around around. It's just a lot. I did some more looking and I think less about the track and more about how tight she braided it. So I'm pretty annoyed with that. Granted, it wasn't like this with my last sew in because I did have a leave out.

I'm hoping that it will amend itself by the end of the week but if it doesn't, I'm really not looking forward to spending $150 just to take out out 1 inch worth of hair.

I hope it will too. If not, I would rather have my edges than an extra $150. I wouldn't even sweat it. Next time leave your edges out. If they can't be seen anyway don't weave up your edges.

Eta: Why do they always have to braid so tight?

I love my mom. She finally sent my split under plus more. I was wondering why the box is so heavy. It feels like Christmas. I got hair accessories, shower caps and other things: )

I would spend the extra $150 if I had it honestly, but I'm trying to save up for my boyfriend's bday present (he's turning 31!!) and I need new contacts cuz I hate wearing glasses in the summer.

I plan to weave up one more time in late August/early September through the end of the fall in November. I think I've learned enough about weaves to have my preferences. Edges are always left out, full sew in but with a cloth closure. Probably gonna use a net next time as well, because I don't like the idea of something snipping this close to my real hair anymore lol. Plus it may take tension off my actual scalp.

I DON'T KNOW why they braid so tight. It's so unnecessary. I think that's why I can't stand braids/cornrows, etc. If I actually hit my goal of 10 months post relaxer, hopefully APL by then, I swear I'm never using weave/braids again. I'll straighten with hot combs and bun to my last days. I hate PS maintenance and headache (literally).
 
Question: Can your new growth be normal porosity and the relaxed ends low porosity?
When i wash my hair, the first four inches dry quickly while my relaxed ends are still quite damp.

Yes. Chemical processes can dramatically change hair porosity
 
Trying to go back to my original regimen. All Nexxus products and Dominican DC. Aphoghee 2 step and Keraphix as my protein treatments. B&B Oil Moisturizer. Grapeseed Oil, Vatika oil and Dabur Amla oil. Henna gloss treatments and all around dusting every 4 months like clock work. So I'll be hair shopping this weekend, I hope I can find everything.
 
So I've basically been lying to myself for a while now about the state if my hair. Several stylists and family members told me that I needed a trim but I didn't wanna hear that. I got my hair blown out for some corn rows and that's when I saw it. My hair went from full of body at the mid shaft to struggling to hang on for dear life at the ends. What good is waist length if your ends are a mess? Not a good look ladies :\

So about 5 minutes ago I did a much needed 2-3inch trim which puts me back at MBL I believe. I'll be looking into growth aids. Manechoice seems like a nice one. I'll most likely be in protective styles till the end of august. It's been a while since I po'd for that long. Take care ladies!
 
Finally got off my a** and went to go buy hair to do my crochet braids. They had NO 1B Bohemian Curl. :wallbash:

So I went to CVS and took advantage of the Shea Moisture sale instead. :grin:

Making my way to the salon to buy some conditioner and shampoo. They don't have my shampoo in today, but will have it in friday. Going to go back to elucence again. Havent used that in a few years. I love Nairobi, but don't feel like ordering and waiting.
 
I found this funny picture on tumblr

OMG. Did I find a Holy Grail Shampoo right at the drug store?! Ohhhh yeessss!!

SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Shampoo :up: Target was having a clearance on the sample size for $3.

My hair did not get stripped. Scalp is cleeeaaaan! Its is so fluffy today. Build-up gone. Yes yes yes yes!
:reddancer:
 
^^^^I cut mine a few months ago and was thinking the same thing. Well, I'm happy where my hair is now. I've come to peace with it, even the frizz.
 
Tried a twist out again, and I really dont think I will be doing these for awhile. They take so long to take out and I hate how my ends rub together when taking them down. Will definitely just stick to braid outs, I always get big hair the first day I do braid outs and my ends don't rub together.
