My Story:
I had a weave in, and before I part in it in, I did not fully detangle my hair. When I removed my weave, my hair was very tangled. I washed my hair with shampoo, it became much more tangled and dreaded up bad. I had to sleep with conditioner overnight and spend the next day carefully detangling and not ripping out my hair.
Moral:
DO NOT SHAMPOO SEVERELY TANGLED HAIR!
wash your sew-ins.
wash your braids.
don't use synthetic wefts for your weaves, especially ones provided by your stylist.
everyone who "specializes in natural hair" doesn't.
don't use the dark and lovely at-home permanent color.
just because a stylist puts said color in your hair doesn't make it professional.
don't skip the DC when you go to get a blowout.
you don't have to trim for growth.

You are absolutely correct! This happened to me once. My hairdresser at the time told me that when you wet matted or tangled hair, it locks up
Consequently, I received an impromptu hair cut that dayerplexed
Don't cut your DRY ends just because they're DRY. They probably just need moisture
I made the mistake of trimming off my hair when I first went natural cuz the ends were dry. I was mistaking dry hair for damaged/split hair.
Very good idea!Well for me, i kept my hair braided back to back for almost six months and had so much newgrowth. After taking down my last set of braids i decided i wanted to transition, well everyone kept saying your hair is soo long you should put a relaxer in it so u can see your length . Well I did and now I am transitioning from scratch, i would have alot of NATURAL hair by now. My lesson is never let anyone influence your decision about your hair, it yours; and if you ever get anxious to see length just flat iron.

I know low manipulation regimens work for some people...but I am not one of them. I have to comb my hair everyday or everyother day or else im asking for tons of single strand knots and massive tangles. Finger combing doesnt do ish for my hair either. that leaves tons of shed hair behind that can become my worst enemy if not removed.
I'm not a Foki stalker at all but looking at your album is making me want to go natural ASAP!!!I know low manipulation regimens work for some people...but I am not one of them.

- Wearing ponytail holders, period.
= breakage
- Applying henna/indigo on dry hair
= breakage
- Adding lemon juice or any other acid to henna mix
= breakage
- Being of fine/thin strands, detangling under water in the shower
= breakage/pre-mature shedding
You wanted a hair cut?![]()
That's terrible about your sister. I bet that stylist was not only jealous that your sister's hair was so long, but she went to Hawaii, too.
My setback was that I kept giving my former stylist chances. I kept trying to reason with her, telling her that I was taking better care of my ends and I didn't need a trim as often. I also kept telling her that I wanted less hair trimmed when I did get a trim. I finally learned that she would keep arguing against me, cutting the amount that she wanted to cut and pressuring me to get trims more often. I got rid of her a little over a year ago.
i know right! not only is she the one who told me to buy that one, but i shoulda known when she told me it was only $5 to put it in!Yep, my hair has been tramatized by Dark and Lovely color, and a stylist who PROMISED me she knew what she was doing.![]()
