A couple of months :giggle: I started in April 15th and took it slow because I didn't want to get to the point of losing patience. And it sure takes a whole lot of patience! I might make a thread about it.

Woooow! Yea create a thread about your process & show pics of your process. How long did you have dreads?
 
Experiencing some thinning on one of my already thin temples...due to my lacefront I am assuming. Ahhh i duno what to do. There isn't much I can do with my hair at this point. Even after 7 months natural my curl pattern is shot and it looks like a really bad perm job on my head. Frustrating.

Thank you HanaKuroi! I followed your advice and used the Hawaiian Silky. That was a life saver!! I soaked up my locs and used it excessively to be honest! :lol:
I might keep it as a part of my regimen for those days when I can't stand the tangling.

I am so glad the Hawaiian Silky worked for you. That is what I used on DS locs. It is amazing.
They should sell it by the gallon.

Okay, what gift are you buying yourself? You did a great job and you deserve something for being patient and following through.

I can't wait for pictures.

Do you have a blog? I am on my phone and I can't see siggies or anything.

I use Hawaiian silky to detangle my curls. Magic stuff.
 
It's not even fair...

I didn't think about me deserving a gift... That's a good excuse (to satisfy the product junkie in me), err I mean a good idea. :giggle: I already bought hair products and a new blow dryer, so I gotta think about this for a minute.
I'm DCing my hair as we speak so I don't have pics yet but they're coming. :yep: I don't have a blog (anymore) but I'll PM you as soon as I start the thread.

It sounds like they are too tight.
Don't scratch them.

You should go back and have them redo them looser. You don't want to lose your hair there.

Try some witch hazel or sea breeze.

I'll try the witch hazel but what does it do?

Also, they will charge me for retwisting. I think they did a shoddy job. :/

They should not recharge you to retwist the areas that are too tight. You should call the manager. If they have any sense they shoukd fix it. If you lose your hair you could sue them and that would cost them money.

If they refuse I saw and article that gives advice on how to loosen it yourself without redoing them. How many twists are involved?


I don't believe they said why to use witch hazel or sea breeze. I think it is to stop infection. The white is usually pus and you want to clear that up.

I'll post the links in a couple of hours. It is 5am.

Did you have them done at a shop?

Yeah, it was at a shop. Took 8 hours, jesus. I can do the witch hazel thing. My friend who was a straightened natural, she lined her scalp with WH to avoid washing her hair between blowouts. She washed her hair every 4-6 weeks. Idk how healthy that is though lol..

I'll call them today and ask if they can do it during lunch. It shouldn't take that long. thanks. EDIT: I called and they said sure, they'll retwist it for free. yay!! Too happy right now. Yeah, africans have no concept of the words "ow, that's really tight and it hurts me"
 
Been using NJoy's oil daily plus doing my training for a half marathon. Hoping to see greats results in body and hair by September 22 (my race day)!! Already getting the "your hair is getting long" comments.

Just stepped out of lurk mode to say my hair has been naked for two days...
If it didn't feel so awesome, I would definitely be ashamed :grin:

Why do some folks feel compelled to put their darn hands in your hair!?!

Ok.I get it. You like my braids. Thanks. But you do NOT need to walk over to me and proceed to rub your grubby hands in it!

How freaking rude!
