My natural hair is ANNOYING ME!!

[drjo91]

As you guys know i did my bc two days ago. Everything was fine until i realize that when my hair gets dry, the ends feel like a different texture. So i stretch my hair(i play with it a lot), the hair closer to the scalp feels so SOFT!!!!!!! but then when i touch the roots, it feels so rough and like a different texture. So i am wondering and thinking that it has to be "scab hair"....I feel really frustrated about this. So today, in the morning i took a scissor and cut some of them off. I seriously do not like this............has anyone experienced this!!

It's probably just scab hair. Just keep it moisturized.

I'd suspect - since the ends feel crappy and the roots feel good, that your ends are drying out faster than the roots are. Remember the difference in feeling - that's the difference between moisturized and dry hair.

Then, go forth and DC/moisturize your hair (and it might take a while - like months) until the roots and the ends feel about the same, all the time.

I wouldn't cut them off, personally.

Alright thanks. But it feels like another texture, eve when is wet. Its like the hair were the relaxed ends and my natural hair met. It feels very rough. But thank you.

I had the same problem!! The second time I bc'd I cut my hair in the dead of winter (Nov actually) and my hair felt so dry hard. What helped me a lot was over night DC with ORS hair mayo and Lustrasilk Shea butter cholestrol I did it nightly for about 2 weeks and began to feel a difference.

If my hair is deep down dry, as in I haven't DCed in a while, my ends will feel like that. How often do you DC? It could be scab hair, but I agree to wait...that dried out hair can really make a difference in the way it looks/feels. I hope it gets better, don't give up.

Are you using any gels? Are you wearing it as a wash and go? If you are then you can't touch your hair till it dries or it'll frizz. Trust me, I learned the hard way! Its only been a few days and your hair needs time to adjust. Just keep moisturizing it. If you're not sealing with an oil, I suggest you start doing that because it makes a huge difference. I just started using Castor Oil and wow my hair feels so soft when it dries.
