@Oasis, I cover with a satin cap. I also have a satin pillowcase. I suspect that the winter time got me. During the colder months, I tend to wear a LOT of sweaters and cardigans. I guess I wasn't watching my hair as I should, but I have scheduled a retwist and color for Saturday. It is going to take a lot just KNOWING the lint is there, even if I am covering it up.
As for products, my loctician uses a gel-like product to re-twist and oils my scalp with a mix of natural oils. I wash with Trader Joe's shampoo and do not use conditioner. I oil my scalp whenever I feel like it needs it and that is with a natural oil like olive or avocado mixed with peppermint oil. That's it. Should I be using conditioner at this point? I get mixed answers on this. I know that I can do a hot oil treatment, though. (Sorry going off on a tangent...)
I did do a little experimenting in the beginning with different products/sprays and that could have a lot to do with some of my issues. I also incorrectly believed I had to put oil on my actual locs rather than focus on my scalp. That was pretty early on too.
Is there anything I should do differently? What would you do in my situation?
@BillsBackerz67 , I am asking for your input too.
