I bust out laughing at you changing your mind. I do this every day and end up doing the same ole style.
I've been there before with the rough detangling and sore scalp. There was no harm done and it was just my extra sensitive scalp making me think I did something REAL BAD
. Hair is going to come out. It's just shed hair I'm sure. Also don't worry because your hair is longer creating a bigger ball of hair. Unless you hear POPPING/RIPPING then that's another story.
I'm doing my faux locs TODAY!...I think. I will have to prep first and get the semi-parts together. I won't do exact parts because that's not my style. I don't like the "Done" look. We'll see how that goes.
