I might start detangling under running water with conditioner again. I don't think I was losing more hair because I still might have the same amount of shedded or broken hair as in the shower. Just have to get a strainer. And I also struggle a little but more doing it outside the shower on naked damp to dry hair
 
The laziness/sleepiness is taking over! I'm going to take a nap with this oil prepoo in my hair before I start my wash.
 
I don't know if it's my imagination but it's seems like my hair is getting longer in my box braids. Like how it looks in a ponytail
 
Last flat iron job was at the end of March. I'm trying not to do it again until mid-June but that itch hit me real hard today!

What to do...
 
For my birthday this year I'm gonna take the plunge and dye my hair cherry red like Rihanna! I wanted to do it for YEARS but this time I think I can pull it off. I'm mostly concerned about how work will take it. It's like black women can't have any hair style other than jet black or deep brown straight hair.

I hope my hair is longer by then too so I can style it different ways as well. Can't wait to length check this fall!

When is the last time you washed the hair and scalp under the tracks? Do you have Neosporin?

I used vaseline. it's helped. i assume it was a small nick.

The last time I washed my hair? probably 2-3 weeks ago. I know I'm due. I was planning to wash my hair professionally next week before my friend's wedding or the week after when I take my weave install out.

I have been avoiding a lot of washing because I heard it contributes to matting and tangles due to the shed hair. I used witch hazel on my scalp a few weeks ago and that helped. I just bought some more so I hope it helps the same way again.

My scalp overall doesn't itch unless I use a crap ton of product, which I've also been avoiding.
 
I tried AOWC for the first time this week (the new formula). I used it as a styling product for my braidouts. When I first put it in I LOVED the smell. But now a few days later my hair smells like doll hair. :-(
 
Was thinking of not replacing my As I Am leave in and just using KKNT. But I put it on tonight and my hair had a sigh of relief. So now I'm not sure. I'm going to have to try the KKNT and see what my hair says.
 
I always forget how much I hate washing my weave because of the long process to dry until I have to wash it every 2 weeks ughhh
 
I saw a few broken strands today and now im freaking out. Im not sure if it's the work out regimen or my impatience taking my braids down, but my hair rarely breaks...I wasn't even that impatient. Ugh.

Please, please, take it out, and carefully.

Used a shea butter/and whatever other oils are in this blend under eco olive oil gel and on top of tressemme naturals today while shingling. My hair is super conditioned and the texture/hold is amazing. I will need to do this more often. this was the step that was missing the entire time when doing wash and shingling. the difference is nuts.
 
I am not looking forward to the all day shampoo/condish sessions. I am loving my TWA for this one reason. It's growing out fast though I must say. Moisture Moisture Moisture:grin:

Girl you scaring me, DoDo. Do you think I have a scalp infection?? I'll take it out tonight :O Now I'm terrified. Idk why the back is itching so much. I've only had it in for 6 weeks. The rest of my hair is fine.

And I just tried the witch hazel and it's legit not working.And I wasn't skimping on it either.

I'll just call and see if I can get the same girl who put it to take it out. I wanted to hold out until next week at the earliest but I guess that's not an option now :(

I'm a 12 months post and I still air dry/bun the same way I did when I was 3 months post. Interesting......

Wow how?
I'm 4 month post and I airdry in a bun, but I'm beginning to have problems. For some reason, I can only get the new growth at my crown to stretch and all of the hair in the inside of the bun becomes a tightly curled and matted mess! Do you have any tips for me??
 
I washed my hair with some of the original Creme of Nature shampoo. I still for the life of me cannot understand why that formula was changed. I can't. Best shampoo hands down. My hair immediately softened, the itching I had subsided. Nothing but strong, clean, moisturized hair afterwards *le sigh*

Your scalp is probably dirty from not washing. You probably scratched a pimple. You have to wash your scalp and tracks for the health of your hair.

A healthy, clean scalp grows hair.

Witch hazel will not cut it. If you usually wash your hair once a week, you should still stick to the same schedule. There are threads about how to get to your scalp with diluted shampoo in an applicator bottle. You still have to moisturize your hair as well.

Your hair under the weave has to be cared for. Otherwise all the length you gain will be lost by dry, damaged unsalvageable hair. If you don't wash your scalp, you could cause scalp issues. I won't go into detail because I don't want to scare you.

I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y

Well y'all convinced me. I'll buy shampoo and conditioner and wash it tonight. There's a Sally's close by my new place.

I'm guessing I did scratch a pimple. Scalp pimples my god!! Never in my life...
