Hello ladies,
I took my sew-in down and decided to wash my hair and give it a rest before my next one. I decided to use a new shampoo ION straightening shampoo. I finger combed my hair thinking that it wouldn't make a difference because I've done this in the past. Big Mistake!!! I think the damage was caused in combination with me not combing through the hair and the new shampoo. My hair dreaded up and created knots (almost ping pong ball size) all over my head at the scalp. I had to comb the knots out which caused ALOT of breakage! (pics below) It took me 3.5-4 hours to comb out. My head is still hurting from the ripping I am so depressed because I had made a lot of progress. While my sis was taking my sew in out, she kept saying how long and thick my hair has gotten. Now it's gone. I guess I just need some encouragement. My hairdresser is fitting me in today, so we can come up with a solution. I have more pics in my fotki as well.
