Ok, I need to start reading those threads.
Funny thing is I had that thought about McCain as father of Palin's baby.
I just read the one where McCain pushed a woman in a wheel chair. Good Lawd how did these people get this far? 
). Any advice?
I need some help. I am finding that I too have multiple types of hair on my head now. Little curls, fuzzy chicken hair (that's what I call real fine fly away hair) and normal strands. The new little curls and fuzzies seem to be well balanced w/ protein and mositure. The normal strands are dry, i mean poppin' when I stretch them. I have even found pieces that have broken off and are about 1-2 inches long (no buld or fine terminal end). I have been applying moisture and will not apply OCT or MT to my strands until I can fix the problem. My question-do you think I will end up over moisturizing my new little curls (which I am very fond of) and my fuzzies (which look so sexy the way the softly curl like the "gud hurr" girls
Why chicken hair, though?? I've got it too, but chicken hair??? 
I think that (I hope that, I should say) our 'overall' head has a balance - it might be a tiny bit less protein than some strands need, and maybe a tiny bit more moisture than other strands need. 
Does that make sense?
Hey Darlin'... I'm so honored that you are here among us. Rhapsyblu you are as open and as pure as they come and the inspiration that you are to everyone here is priceless.

Oh no...... CurlyMoo, you are more than welcome for the flowers... Here's moreI'm glad you posted, because it's very incouraging to see that you are recieving consistant growth. I'm always fearing that this is it! No new growth for you!
I wonder what's going to happen when they take the temp political forum down. It will stay up til November. They're gonna have to give us medication. There will be serious withdrawal.
I'm afraid to go back over there. Every time I go, there something new and suspicious about PaCain and company. I'm afraid if I peep in there will be news like "McCain is actually the father to all of Palin's children. Including her husband!"
Aww, thank you for the lovely flowers.
and not having our forum. And most important ...Our Longer - Thicker Hair!
Heyyyyyyy, "Angel Aggie"Whoa Mama, check out the length in that third pic and the thickness in pic#5. I am so impressed with your progress thus far Shimmie. Keep on growing honey
Trudy, only you could use such a post to bring tears to my eyes. I am honored that you thought enough of my pictures to share them with your daughter. I thank God for you.
and tell her that God has only just begun to bless her and the life of her beautiful new baby.
Curly Moo, I, too, like my girl, grnidmonster, am being ridiculous - trying to be funny, too. Patience has never been one of my virtues & from the very first use, I found myself running to the mirror, looking for growth - hourly.I KNOW this will not happen - does not stop me though.
Periodically, I calm down, then I see ya'lls progress pix, & start checking again.
I still say, though, when my OCT comes, I am gonna have ankle length hair & a full hairline in a week.
I think I'm one of those crazy expectations. I'm looking forward to what my hair is going to do. I pray for great results and patience.
Don't worry you will see results. Pretty soon you will have more hair than you know what to do with. My hair was noticeably thicker after the first wash the next day. Then I noticed the length the following week. When I started my MT regimen I decided that I was not going to drive myself nuts over this because there are no guarantees. So I just treated it like another deep conditioner. I think the main reason I was not so focused on my hair was because I had some personal issues creep up that took my mind off of it. My job situation changed and several people in my life had birthdays so I was busy running around too. I think you need to just step back from it emotionally and mentally because stress is not good for alopecia sufferers. You should go hang out in the political forum and give yourself a good laugh.
Take care and happy growing.

Hi CurlyMoo, I got your friend request in my fotki but for some reaosn I cannot add comments in my guestbook or my albums and I can't even add friends without the system automaticlly logging me out. As soon as it comes up, I will be adding you too
Is anyone else having this same problem with fotki?
Ok, no problem. I have probelms responding to comments. It seems like they never get them. So I edit their comments by adding my own to them. But I don't think they get a reply notice.
because I'm unable to do what I want to do in there right now. I'm just venting too.
Welcome cocoberry and get rerady for longer lengths and thicker tresses honey
.
. The other night my husband was stroking my hair, and said that is is soooo thick, yay! I cut off about an inch this weekend, but I just know that MT will get me back on track with getting to my APL goal, hopefully by my b-day.
Growth in ONE week? Wow that's incredible. Between relaxers and MT you're gonna hafta get a second job LOL
I just applied MT to my freshly washed hair. I did two braids and I'm off to bed. I have been lazy and haven't been applying it (wasn't sure if it was working) but now that I know it is I'll be more consistent.
G'night
. I'm afraid that I may have breakage if I get in the habit of relaxing too soon.
), OCT thread and I don't know how many other threads I want to jump on the bandwagon. My hair is already pretty thick, but my edges need growth from sew-ins that I had. Plus I figured a little assisted growth and extra thickness wouldn't hurt.
I figured I would start with MT. I want to apply it daily to my scalp after applying jojoba oil and I will wash and DC weekly with Kenra MS and MC. and moisturize daily or as needed with Aloe vera liquid/Glycerin mix. I also use Redken Hair cleansing cream for my chelating poo. I will also purchase some garlic tabs from Puritan to keep on hand in case I have excessive shedding. I am getting a relaxer next Thursday so I will give it a couple of weeks and then start. Does this sound like a good regimen?
look how thick your hair has gotten? 
Okay after spending hours and hours reading this thread(it is growing by the minute
It sounds great! The only thing - you might want to slide an extra DC in there in the middle of the week, if you can. Keep an eye on your hair and see if it seems to be getting drier/harder faster - I've found that my hair is MUCH happier with twice weekly DC's.....
. I guess I'm going to have to cowash and DC more often.
