I'm a Newbie...

Hello,
I've been lurking around here for a while and finally decide to join yesterday. I started looking through the board because my hair is in short a mess. When I was younger I had healthy thick hair. I didn't go to salons, my mom did my relaxer and I washed it a sat under the hooded dryer. That got alot harder when I got to college and was in the dorm, so I started going to salons. Over the past 5 years my hair has gotten worse and worse. Last month I finally noticed that the hair at the nape of my neck has pretty much all come out and isn't really growing. So even though I really don't like braids, I got some invisible micros to start off the year in hopes of regaining healthier hair. The hair in the back was even long enough for the lady braiding it to grip

the nape

hair before braids (sorry it's blurry)

Hey, welcome to the forum! I'm sorry you are going through a hair loss problem with your nape. Lots of women here use topical growth aids and have had great results, so maybe some of these can help you. Two of the most common ones discussed on the board are MTG (Mane-Tail-Groom) and WGO (Wild Growth Oil). I think you can purchase at least one of them (perhaps the WGO) in your local beauty supply store.
