recovering addicted

[bettytoo]

Hi I'm recovering from an addiction that has got me nothing but trouble.Well it goes a little some thing like this.
For three year's Ive been puting braids in my hair to grow out my relaxer.And I was very happy with then untill they broken of my hairline.And know I'm having to go cold turkey.Without that extra hair arrrrrrrh.screaming .Joking.
Its not that bad but I'm an addict and can fall of the wagon any time ,especially if I'm having a bad day.I look at the bag of hair and thing A little won't hurt.But I know it's the addict in me talking.I have to hit myself. I can't let my addiction control me.I'm better then that.
I just want to advise other's short hair is better than broken damage hair any day.Gotta go ,I've got to swap one addiction for another .love bettytoo.

For god sake leave that bag of hair alone

Girl, get rid of the bag, lol!! My braids were human hair and you know it's expensive- and I have a LOT of my own hair so it took many bags of hair to cover my head, $$$$$, throwing the hair out HURT!!
I know what you're talking about, though; I wore braids for yearrrrs and although I had no damage to my hairline, I was so accustomed to the look, the feel, the ease- the attention I got from them that to not wear braids was like asking me to cut off my arm!!!!!
Every time I did get brave and undo my braids, it didn't take long for me to go back to the security and familiarity of the braids.
I finally took them out for good (I hope) last year. It honestly took me just getting weary of the look and my hands have got to the point that I can't braid anymore because of carpal tunnel and arthritis, plus, I liked the way my BF played in my hair when it wasn't braided .

I also suffer from an ugly bare hairline because of braids. I am trying to nurse them back to health with MN and MTG. I like to wear my hair pulled back when it is out of braids and right now it doesn't look as well as I would like it to look because of the damage. I will try to take a picture to track my progress but I don't know how long I can give up braiding either erplexed

Have you guys tried Nioxin Hair Follicle booster? I think it's made by Nioxin or Nexxus I can't remember? Nexxus has the Biotin Creme, these products work to thicken and grow in thinning areas.

But the best help for thinning areas is no relaxing and no tension. I know you can do it. I love braids, but hair health comes first. This was a great post by the way (thank you)
