You are such a pretty lady & your hair is gorgeous! You have done a wonderful job in taking care of your hair.

OP, you and your hair are both absolutely gorgeous! I'm glad to see that you're making great progress. I noticed that you're relaxed, and I was curious to know if you've experienced any problems with relaxing since your scalp is so sensitive.

I had to stop relaxing because I was getting lesions all over my scalp. I didn't know what was going on. I never used to have any problems, but all of a sudden I started developing sores. Since I went natural, my scalp is doing much, much better.

I'm definitely going to check out your youtube channel!

Hi there, actually I do have more problems with relaxers now. I have to wait until my scalp is well enough to even attempt to relax. So there's no more scheduled relaxers for me, I never know how long I'm going to have to go before I can touch up again. I've been seriously considering going natural but I guess I'm just a little apprehensive because I'm so close to my goal length and going natural would seem like just starting all over again. But eventually I think that's what I'm going to have to do.

Girlfriend! Your hair looks great. There is no way that a normal person looking at your hair can see that it is thin or has fallen out. You did such a great job caring for your hair and I love how you styled the side. It does not look like it came out. Your HJ is a testimony for women like me because through many trials and tribulations, you can still grow beautiful, healthy hair. You look beautiful and so does your hair. Thank you for sharing your testimony!

Thank you so much! Your words really blessed my soul!

WOW, great progress!!! Question, how are you able to still relax your hair if you have scalp problems? Wouldn't the relaxer burn like crazy when it touches the scalp? I had irritaiton in a tiny part of my scalp and no relaxer could touch that area.

Well during the time that my scalp was in such horrible condition was before my diagnosis. I didn't know what was wrong with me. So after I found out I was immediately put on treatments for it and while there is no cure for this, the treatments keep the breakouts at bay.

But to answer your question, when I'm breaking out, no I def can not relax. I have to wait until my scalp is well enough. Which is why I stated in an earlier post that I'm considering going natural.

Hi thanks so much! And yes I do remember telling quite a few people about my beloved Select Pro Soft Bonnet Dryer. However, I'm very sad to report that it finally put me down about a year ago. I was heartbroken to say the least lol.

Do you still have yours? Is the bonnet still holding up, because that's the part that eventually tore up on mine not the motor.

Oh no, say it isn't so! Sorry for your dryer loss. I still have mine and the bonnet is still holding up. I treat that dryer like it's a new born! Now I'm going to have to pay special attention to the bonnet. I remember so many ladies on here were looking for that dryer only to find out it had been discontinued.
