My Edges Look Dusty!

[Avaya]

Is this just one of the ways natural 4a/b hair can look? The rest of my new growth doesn't look like this. (When I say "edges" I'm talking about the tuft of hair near either temple not the whole perimeter of my head).

When I say dusty, I mean it looks almost grey-ish when I'm looking at it in the mirror; like it has dirt on it or something . I washed my hair over the weekend and that didn't eliminate the dusty appearance.

Sorry, I tried taking pictures but my digital camera laughed at me. It said "You get what you pay for and you didn't pay for close ups!" .

Hrm.

When's the last time you clarified your hair? I'd suspect it's buildup from facial products.

I'm afraid to clarify because every single time I've used a clarifying shampoo while having a substantial amount of new growth my hair mats and tangles out of this world!!!!

I wonder if I could just clarify the "dusty section" and cover the rest of my hair :scratchch

Sounds like a good idea to me. Go for it.

I don't see why not - just hit the edges.
