How is it that newgrowth starts taking over your entire head?

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

Isn't it funny how an inch or so of new growth affects your entire head? My hair has been acting real ignant for the last week or so since this new growth has crept in. It's amazing how strong our hair is, how prominent, that one little inch can throw all the straightness out of wack.

Just something i've been thinking about today I think I'm about 6 weeks post today

Yea...imagine how bad it is with about 4 inches or more. MADNESS!!! That's exactly why I BC'd I just gave in. Natural hair is no joke, it WILL take over your head!!!

 

[me-T]

Mines is driving me crazy!!! im almost 14 weeks post with about 1 1/2" - 1 3/4" of new growtherplexed and im tryng to make it to 16 weeks. Ive been reduced to wet buns under a wig... but the good thing is, im learning some much needed hair discipline towards protective styling

Yes, the NG ain't no joke. I was planning on getting a relaxer two weeks from now, but earlier this week I looked in the mirror and was like, "Nope - can't wait . . . my whole head is being overtaken!"

I'm 7 weeks post trying to make a 15 week stretch. If it weren't for the fact my stylist has a new number, that number is programed into my mom's cell, and my mom was gone until 4:30 today, I would have made an appointment for next Saturday for a touch-up.

I washed my hair today and when I rollerset it--Lord Have Mercy!

You don't understand. I've been using OCT or MT everyday for the past 7 weeks... this is not normal growth!

 

[me-T]

I'm about 20 weeks post...

For the most part my hair is tame, but DANG... after washing it's a mother to detangle these days.

I had to start putting oil in my shampoo and detangling in tiny little sections

 

[locabouthair]

Yes I am six weeks post and the longer i stretch the dryer my hair gets. last weekall my hair was dry and coarse. Its like once I get some ng the rest of my hair doesnt know how to act.

 

[Gemini350z]

I definitely understand. I have about an inch and a half of new growth, and I had to put extensions in. I have a new length of hair and style that I have never had before, and new growth and this style does not go together. It just doesnt lay right!!
