Gosh! Yodie's coming out of the closet so will I!
I've done a small test area of the BKT for about a month and a half. I too had problems. I did a test section just on my bangs. I assumed I could always cut them if there's a problem w/o crying. The rest of my hair was braided back up, but I keep my bangs out. My hair was in as great condition as it can be with a thyroid illness. It is inherently drier since I was diagnosed with graves, given radioactive iodine, and started pills. So anyways I've always had to up my moisture levels to retain length. My theory is that BKT isn't necessarily bad. It just doesn't allow as much moisture in when washing and dcing which is why everyone says their products are sitting on their hair (or some people have eported). So I think that I ran into a problem because I NEED the moisture ALL of it because of my illness. Before I started heavily Dcing and finding moisturizing products, after being diagnosed with Graves, I had to buzz off my hair it was so brittle. So the dcing and super moisturizing products are a MUST for my hair.
That being said, the ends of my bangs snapped. Not all of them, but some here and there so that it wasn't a straight across bang and that's how I noticed. I realize hair grows out differently, but this was obviously breakage and I had to trim my bangs an inch to even them out. And NO I didn't have split ends there that had to naturally fall off. I cut my bangs every month so that hair there is pretty much split free.
So anyways I will be giving it another chance only because again, I can always cut my bangs. This time I am co washing only, no shampoo. So that I can make sure not to strip out any moisture. I may have to change my regimen again (even though it was auto pilot before as it was really working for me) to see if I can counteract my problem. I figure with co washing and dc, I'll have even more moisture. I've used all natural products like shescentit avocado condish, though I did use the original creme of nature in the cream and green bottle but it has never been a prob before. I dc with the avocado condish combined with avocado oil and coconut oil under a soft hooded dryer on low for 30 minutes or if I don't want to do that I leave it in overnight.
So anyways my new plan is prepooing (for more moisture) with coconut oil (as it's moisturizing), and then cowashing, and then dcing. If it snaps this month, I'll know that even though BKT is a wonderful concept for some, it just isn't for me.
