Earlier this week I was abducted, robbed and beaten. The attacker was very visious and brutal. I was dragged by my hair which caused serious breakage. As a result of the whole ordeal, I lost 2 or 3 handfuls of hair from random spots on my head. I'm actually LESS than two weeks from my 1 year transition anniversary. I was on the fence about if I was ready to bc or if i should wait a bit longer but now I fel like I have no choice in the matter. :( I'm hoping that I can find a hair style to cover the damage until I'm TRULY ready to bc. Can you ladies give me ANY sugestions on how to care for my hair right now? Its broken on different levels. Some hair was pulled from my scalp, some at the line of demarcation and some just at ramdom length.
 
Oh my gosh, I am so sorry! Did they find the person? This maybe personal but are you getting the mental guidance? I will pray for your physical and mental recovery!

A BIG HUGE HUG for you!
 
OMG!!!! First off, your hair will be just fine, it's your heart I'm worried about!

What a horrific situation to encounter and I'm so sorry to hear that this has happened to you. That is my worst nightmare.

I pray that you will be restored and healed from the Crown of your head to the soles of your feet. I pray that you will walk in sound mind and heart!

Once again, I'm so sorry this happened to you! "hugs"

BTW, no advice on the hair. Sorry!
 
I am so sorry this happened to you. I would go with no combing or manipulation for a few days to allow your hair follicles to heal.
 
:hug3:moria: That is Awful!:blush: I feel terrible. I had to come back in this Thread to post.

We are in some difficult times right now. Crime is at all all time High.

And We as B/Women need to be extremely careful just conducting our Day-to-Day Duties.

IK the Sisters of LHCF will definitely be keeping you in our prayers for Total and Complete Restoration of Spirit, Mind, Body, (and Hair).:grouphug:

After you get through this: One Day you will be able to help someone else.:yep:
 
Ditto what everyone else said about caring for your hair. Make sure you care for your heart, though; that's most important. Get counseling, whether you think you need it or not...things have a way of popping back up and affecting you. I'll be praying for your healing.
 
I am so sorry! IA w/ others about low manipulation, and protective styling if possible. I am thinking some thing easy like a wig or half wig, nothing that will stress your follicles.
 
are you comfortable in braids? maybe get some nice cornrows? i saw some nice style on khamit kinks site, maybe you can do them yourself.
 
I feel so sorry for you. That is just horrific. I say for now just keep your hair moisturised and in a protective style and focus on trying to get some counselling and some help to try and ease the pain.
 
wow, my heart hurts just reading that. I prayed for you, and you will continue to be on my heart. The first thing that I think of is maybe some crochet braids. You don't have to cornrow the hair too tight to achieve the style you want. A great example that I've fallen in love with is Kellum's spring twist crochet braids

There are so many ways you can do them though and you won't have to mess with your hair other than keep it moisturized. Whatever you choose to do, I wish you the best.
 
Oh my God that is insane. I'm so sorry that happened to you but I'm glad that you are still here able to post.

Your hair should be fine. Again so sorry but I'm glad that you survived.
 
:imsorry::grouphug3:

I hope they find the creep.

I hope you are okay.

Thank god your here another day, So sorry you experienced that :( :(
 
I am so sorry to hear this !!!!!
I wish you the best and very glad that you are alive to even make a post about hair :rosebud: :rosebud:
 
BIG HUG!!!

Try this sister:

Warm up some soothing oils that you like: EVCO, EVOO, or Castor oil. Add some cinnamon (or a tingly essential oil-peppermint, rosemary, tea tree), honey, and aloe vera. Make sure you are as comfortable as possible. Maybe run a warm bath. Massage your scalp with this soothing mixture and think positive thoughts for your future. Place a shower cap on your hair for the remainder of your bath or for the rest of the day/night. Pray for peace and healing while your are doing this.

Things will be very good for you in the future!
 
Sweetie, the ladies are giving you great advice for your hair, I am truly praying for healing for your total well being, after such a traumatic and horrific ordeal.

I am thankful to God that you are here to tell the story. Be blessed.
 
I got nothin but love for you lady, sending all my good vibes to you and all you ladies out there... try to be as careful as can be and pray for peace and positivity, suckas going around shaking up your world like that.
i agree with everything else said about your hair, massage your scalp with healing oils like tea tree, lavander or carrot for relaxation, healing and circulation.

And thank god you are well and posting on lhcf
 
I am so sorry that this happened to you!! May God bless, heal, and comfort you in your time of need. I would do lots of deep conditioning and maybe bun it until you decide whether to bc.
 
I'm so sorry you had to go through this! May God bless you. I think a wig would be good for your hair. No manipulation will be easier on your already damaged hair follicles.

I agree with CaliDiamond. Her advise sounds like a way to heal yourself on many levels at the same time. Poor thing. I'm so sorry your were victimized. And I'm so glad you're safe and sound. Worlds of peace and comfort to you!
 
Goodness you poor thing, what a horrible trauma you've gone through. :nono: I do hope you're okay emotionally as I know things like this can be difficult to recover from. My thoughts and prayers are with you. :kiss: :bighug:
 
I'm glad you are okay. Think about this, better to lose hair than your life. I hope they catch the the son of a b.
 
:cry: You're alright physically, at least. I'll be praying for your emotional/ spiritual health, too. I can't even type, I'm so mad. I hope whoever it is who did this to you gets caught. If you really can't do anything to your hair, why not get a wig until your hair recovers. I'm sorry I wasn't more helpful.:ohwell: I will be praying for your healing on the inside. Sometimes, that is more important than the outside.:rosebud::grouphug:
