My dumb question: I see ppl all the time saying that a product made their scalp "feel sooo good" or that after using something their scalp "feels dry". How in the world do you *feel* your scalp??? I mean, unless you're bald or have very closely shaved head it's really impossible to really feel your scalp directly w/o hair getting in the way...
sooo, yah - can anyone clear this up for me? it's been building up for a while

The scalp like skin on the rest of your body has the nerve endings and can feel just like any other part of your skin. If you made a parting and a fan blew on your head, that parting would feel the cold breeze. There are products like peppermint essential oil that when applied to your skin, give it a tingling sensation. Perhaps the oil has a low boiling point and draws heat from your scalp leaving it feeling cold--a very nice sensation, as if your scalp just took a breath of air. And just like skin can feel tight or itch if it got very dry, if your scalp was very dry, you would feel a tightness or it would itch. In other words, the scalp responds to stimili just like skin on the rest of the body. So a scalp massage gets blood rushing to your scalp and leaves your head feeling as good as a body massage leaves your body feeling.

Nikos' cousin is anyone that is affliated with this site! Nikos Dimopoulos is the originator of this site if you look down at the bottom of the page...the VERY bottom you will see his name. So asking "are you Niko's cousin?" is a secret way to ask if you are a member here!!

How do you do a hot oil overnight treatment to rid hair of split ends WITHOUT cutting. Cutting is not a option considering I have locs.

i have questions: as usual, sorry if it's already been posted. but this is a long thread, and i've read 15pgs, and didnt find my answer. BTW, i've asked some of these questions in other threads, but i want more feedback. TIA:
1. is it safe to clarify with a sew-in?
2. do you always have to rinse out the MT/OCT? or can u leave it in?
3. and since you will only apply MT/OCT to the scalp (due to high protein), can u put it on the hair atleast once a month? would that be safe, cuz the hair will eventually need protein as well. and since u cant use any other protein treatments, i would think it can be ok once a month.
BTW: I have learned a lot from this thread.

Yes, you can use MT or OCT on the length of your hair. You just have to rinse it off and not use as a leave-in; a treatment that you rinse out.
I have always used the Ovation Cell Therapy on the length of my hair just like the instructions say to use it. I would think it particularly important for those with relaxed heads like me.

2. ok i have never heard of wraps IN MY LIFE!!!!just discovered them a few days ago (im 24
)...would u recommend doing them?i've seen you tubes videos etc....when is the best time to do them

- I like Kenra's Chelating Shampoo
- I do a crosswrap every night. I'm not skilled enough for a regular wrap and many people report that its too much manipulation anyway. Crosswrapping every night has completely eliminated frizzy ends for me and helped me to maintain length. So, I highly recommend it.
- ACV Rinsing only works for me after a relaxer and then, only very diluted. My hair doesn't like it. I definitely wouldn't recommend an ACV rinse if you're using a chelating shampoo. BTW, yes, some people use it as a "rinse" and don't rinse with water.

ok i dont know if this has been asked before but if shedding is suppose to be normal or "good" why is it recommended to use garlic to stop it? If the shedding hair is just old hair falling out and new ones coming in faster? So wouldnt the garlic be stopping new hairs?

I BC twice so far this year. My hair is a mixture of 4ab. I still have about 1/2-3/4" of texlaxed ends which I willfinally get rid of in dec when I am 1yr post relaxer. The texlaxed ends are not straight. I know they are there because they are straighter when my hair is wet. The question is-
COTTON CANDY HAIR
I think I have the ugliest, strangest afro ever. This is because it is so uneveven and looks unkept. The length of my hair is mostly tiny curly/coily but my ends are not and my afro looks like messy cotton candy. It is not nice and neat. Sometimes I think I look crazy. Even though my hair is one length all round it is always uneven when I do an afro- dips in and out with no curl pattern at the ends and looks uneven like hell. I don't know if this explanation makes sense to anyone? Is this unevenness caused by the 1/2-3/4" relaxed ends or is it because I have fine hair? TIA

Garlic is used in the case where there is abnormal and excessive shedding, like on a woman with post partum, or after surgery, or illness that causes excessive hair shedding. There are other reasons why excessive hair shedding occurs and you would want to slow it down but the garlic isn't really meant to totally stop hair shedding, simply slow it down. Nobody wants all or most of their hair shedding off all at once, that would be bad, wouldn't you agree?

its the equivalent to saying Sugar Honey Iced Tea (get it, so yall git some ish over there in London too
Mine is definitely improving.. higher and rounder.. yessir!
I turn off siggies/avis mainly because I'm usually on LHCF while I'm at work..... It's kinda difficult explaining all these hair/back/bra pics on my screen.If I wanna see someone's siggy/avi, I'll just go to their profile.
How do you turn off the siggy/avis?
