Heart broken, "all that growth........."

[Hidden_Angel]

I maybe have to lay off the MN or any other topical agent due to massive build up in myhair (I had braids in for HYH until april)

It took my styliest 2 hours to detangle all of my hair I was crying as i saw all myhair get pulled outta my hair (she wasvery gentle) was very depresssing....


*sigh*...

but on a good note i have cornrorws and well be posting pictures soon

Well if you had braids in for a number of months for the HYH challenge then no loose hairs were able to shed. so usually w/ healthy hair the matting comes from the loose hairs wrapping themselves around the intact hairs because they have nowhere to go. Most of the hair you saw was probably the naturally shedded hairs finally escaping. I hope they were gentle in detangling the matting. Don't feel bad .

Awww...I'm sorry about your set back. But you know what, I'll probably get slammed for saying this but I don't use topical growth agents; I don't believe in putting anything on my scalp. If I keep my scalp clean and clog-free then it will do its job all on its own. So don't worry too much about not being able to use the topical stuff for a while. Your scalp will still do its job.

The clean scalp method has been working well for me too. Don't feel bad, you may find that keeping your scalp product-free may also give you a boost in growth.

Yeah,

Don't feel too bad about it.
when I had braids, i was so excited... I got about an inch of growth, but i think it was just because i left my hair alone... eat healthy..and took plenty of vitamins.
The down fall with braids for me is that it thinned out my hair because when the girl "cleaned up the braids of the fray hairs" those fray hairs were mine and it was alot of it.
so I got length but thinned out hair. It's not that bad, but i'm a hair detective now, so i can tell.
i hate to say it myself...but it seems as though topical aids r ok...but i think the mn and mtg just kill fungus...most of the topical aids do this...so keeping it clean is the ultimate result that these aids give.
so if u can find a way to keep ur scalp clean along with giving your body the nutients it needs to grow hair you should be good.
