Apl 2016 Challenge

As I was prepping my hair to wash, I pulled down this one lone strand of hair that came last my collarbone. I just knew it was a shed hair but nope it was still attached. It was probably 1 to 1.5 inches from APL on me. I was so surprised.

But of course it contained a split so had to snip it.

But I may have some nape hairs at APL before the end of the summer.

No longer joining the challenge as my hair is falling out. Will probably have to shave it or cut it very short at some point. Trying to treasure as much time with my hair as possible. Given up. This is very traumatic.
Thanks for the support

I'm sorry to hear about your hair loss. Hope you can turn it around. Let us know if we can help. Many of us have had hair loss and turned it around.

Stay encouraged.

Oh my @xxlalaxx,

I'm sorry this has happened to you but I pray to God that He would breathe life into your follicles and stop it from falling out, in the name of Jesus. May your hair, your crowning glory grow now.

I would recommend detoxing your body for a week or so and drink a lot of clean water to help reset your body then go from there on a very healthy intake of food and water. :bighug:. We're here for you hun.

I forgot to update. I completed my 7 days of inversions and have been massaging NJoy's hair oil in my scalp as well. I'm really trying to stay on top of this hair of mine.

I also finished day 7 of inversions, and I'm thinking about using a sulphur mix as a growth aid.

Do you use NJoy's old recipe or did you buy the newer one from her website? I've read where her old mix is drying but I already bought the products and am waiting for them to be mailed lol

I bought the new oil from her site without sulfur which I find is not drying at all. I believe it's the sulfur that makes it drying. Personally, I can't stand the smell of sulfur. I used to make my own and never finished the bottle because of the smell. I wore extension braids at the time. I suppose I can now but I really don't want to :nono:.
 
I last wet my hair on Monday, in the shower. Aside from lightly oiling with jojoba oil, I've really left my hair alone since my wash day last week.

Today I conditioned with AOWC and KCKT, diluted. Then clay washed with a mix of rhassoul, calcium & sodium bentonite, SAA, water, milk and ACV.

Guess what?...it's back half up half down:yawn:. Now I just hope these clips hold out.
 
Thank you for the kind words everyone. Right now I just don't want to focus on hair haha. Seems to be working for my sanity so I will keep doing that. If there are anymore update then I will let you all know.

Seems like an allergic reactio so gel I used. I was playing around with it and my scalp became itchy and painful for 3 days or so. Then extreme shedding of long strands that just won't stop. Plus stress could be contributing to it as well. I feel a lot better now. I was crying before :oops:.
 
Shampoo and DC'd last night. Also first time using a pre-poo mix of coconut oil and my hair felt really nice and soft when I was rinsing it out.

@Aggie oh my lord you're right sulfur STINKS :confused: I made my own mix and added a bunch of essential oils and it still came out smelling like rotten eggs.
:whyme::whyme:
I baggied with it while I went to the gym and washed it out when I got home but the smell lingered and ended up getting on my pillowcase:perplexed::nono: I'm throwing it away and replacing my sulfur with msm powder or something.

:yep: @mostamaziing, I do not like the smell of sulfur on my hair:nono:.
 
I poo'd yesteeday with CON kiwi somebody or another moisturizing shampoo & DC'd for about 45 minutes to an hour with ORS replenishing conditioner. I can normally only do 20 minutes under the dryer because protein sitting on my hair too long makes my hair hard. Well I was talking my son through cooking & lost track of the time. I put my hair in twists underneath a conditioning cap & when I rinsed it, she felt good!! I must've needed the protein! I did my two strand twist using the LOC method with Kinky Kurly leave in, oil mixture & Edens body curling cream & untwisted this morning & put into a high puff.
 
made a homeade detangler I found on a website with ACV, conditioner, EOs and marshmallow root. I've been spraying the mixture daily since Saturday. Tonight, I cowashed with SM 10 in 1, sprayed some detangler in four sections, flat twisted and tshirt dried. Hair feels clean, looks shiny and less frizzy :)
