Knowledge is power!

I cant count how many times in a day I have found my hands pulling on my hair. Specifically, the crown. The crown I've been crying about on here that never retains... Now I know the culprit is me and my Hand in Hair Disease! :pullhair:

Luckily, I have these twists that can take it. Will have to find something else to do with my hands when I'm bored or nervous so my hair will grow. Protective styling until I get it under control.

Who knew I'd have to protect my strands from myself?! :spinning:

I have the same problem which just makes my dry hair problem worse.

I also have this problem. Boo
 
Me too. I'm always in the crown , I even pull out strands. The only way I know how to keep out of my hair is by wearing a bonnet or scarf.

Ha! I slip my hands up under my bonnet and continue the pulling frenzy. I also yank out strands :blush:.
 
Whelp I'm doing a coconut milk mask. My hair loves protein once a week. If I miss a week I start looking like a fur all with 0 definition. Yikes! Oh and I changed shampoos and tweaked my leave-in. My hair was baby soft when it finally dried but I don't know if it was the shampoo or the leave-in. Oh well.

On another note, how do you guys make use of a useless conditioner/hair mask? I have two jars of this stuff and it sucks...

Do you have trichotillomania?

What goes through your mind as you pull out strands. Does it feel good , or more something you do absent mindedly?

If it sucks it sucks. Let it go. Use it to shave with, toss it, give it, trade it or sell it.

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

No I don't. Im not ripping out hair all the time. Not like that. I commute up to 3hrs a day. Rubbing and pulling on the fro its something to pass the time in mmy car. At home its from bored to nerves. Love the feel of it too. Lol
 
On week 2 in marley twists. The weather is drying my scalp the heck out. Boo! Going to try and keep these in 4 weeks total. We shall see
 
Right.

This is the last time I'm spending on my hair for the next 6 months. I should go in the use it up challenge as I have enough stuff for now!

Just bought the Joico deep reconstructor, generic curlformers and one of those hair dryer hoods. I also bought some skin, hair and nails tabs and iron supplements recently. Hoping I like my purchases.

Also my hair has been doing so well with my glycerine/aloe/JBCO spritz and coconut oil to seal. Was having terrible dryness problems before but not sure if it was something to do with my old braid spray. My "edges" are gaining some nice length now.
 
Last night I had 2 dreams.

Dream 1: I got a bone straight relaxer. Hated it as I do in RL.
Dream 2: Got texlaxed. Liked it but was underprocessed in my crown as it used to do in RL.

Apparently, I want to relax my hair :rolleyes:. I would too if it didnt burn my scalp within minutes. I am tired of the natural today....
 
Since I'm home from surgery for a few more weeks I have been baggying overnight and wearing a satin bonnet almost 24/7. I love the moisture my twists are maintaining.
 
My hair is over this freezing weather. I have to moisturizer like crazy! I'm using up products quicker, and I swear my hair grows slower in the cold hahaha!
 
So as I've said before, I'm back to my hair length since before the trim in December. I really am upset that my nape has only 2 or so inches to reach shoulder length but I feel like I'm no getting there.

I plan to avoid trims until May where I should have another 2 inches of growth. I may also get in braids again because I really retained a lot of hair from doing that.
 
Really considering that texlax or texturizing :ohwell:

Doing a baggy with homemade spritz sealed with evco. I'll be baggying every day til wash day next week since my hair needs the extra boost of moisture right now.
 
My wigs were home when I came home from work! The one without bangs I need to figure out how to make it look less wiggy...I'm feeling the red one most. The one with blonde I like also.
