Can you make it thicker? I guess you can make it appear thicker, but I'm not going to be able to make my hair denser am I? erplexed I've been looking at old pics and recent ones and I'm the only one in my family with thin hair. I was the first grandbaby but my cousins got the height, boobs, and thick hair. I was gypped.
Ok, I got my hair straightened, I do this once in a blue moon, and I haven't oiled my ends all week. I know, I know. I guess I never really oil my ends when it is curly either. So what do you all use to moisturize those ends? I would need two different products. One that is light to use when my hair is straight. And the other has to be able to penetrate my hair while it is curly. But I usually use a leave in, so I probably won't need it then.
What do you think? Is that enough to suffice?
I also damaged part of my edges from keeping my hair in a bun. It only took a few weeks. I think I know what I did. But that means I probably can't wear sleek buns... But this never happened before. I have gone a whole summer wearng sleek ponytails and buns. OK, so I don't know what I've been doing. My hair dresser said my hair looked great. She told me to keep doing what I was doing. Before I damaged the ends with buns because I kept rewetting the ponytail and not letting it dry. My hairdresser said that caused my hair to get moldy and break off b/c it was weak. *eww* I'm thinking about surging that spot, but it just might be easier to use castor oil. What wold you use for the traction alopecia? I'm guessing that is what it is. I might also be from stress.
My mother teased me b/c the spot isn't that big and probably only noticeable to me. Especially since she is now growing her hair back from chemo. I felt silly for complaining. But still. Ladies we know how we are when it comes to hair.
I know I always say this, but I have to get my diet right (now that I'm older), and I have to take better care of my hair. I just don't know where to start anymore. When I first went natural, I had all the oils, made my own stuff, knew what products were the best and which ingredients to avoid. Now there is a whole lot more to learn. Well it seems like it. I should have kept it up. Oh well, it'll all come back.
Sorry for the rambling. I bolded all of the questions in case you didn't feel like reading it all. Oh and yes, I am also doing a search of the forum.
