I wear my hair primarily in a twistout and that helps stretch my hair tremousdously(sp). I re-twist about every 2-3days if needed. In between those days I just let my hair be. I don't re-moisturize unless I need too.
Are you having issues with moisture? If so, maybe try diluting your conditioners and using heat when DC. I'm lo-po so in order for moisture to get into my strands I have to either DC overnight or use heat when DC.

Yes this was for you. Gluten intolerance can cause blockage of absorption of essential faaty acids and vitamin a. That can lead to hair loss.

That's the beginning of shoulder length but most people call shoulder length further down the back near the shoulder blades.

I think you are about 4 inches away.

Ok. I can make to shoulder blade by the end of the year. Thanks!
Random thought: why do I, now, feel like SL and APL on ME are pretty much the same? *shrugs shoulders* lol
faithVA

It's possible that they are close together. Maybe the top of your shoulder to APL is only 3 to 4", so if you call SL after your hair crosses over your shoulder you may only have a couple of inches to go. That's a good thing.

I was pulling hair in the shower yesterday. My short, short sections are starting to get a little length. And most of the hair in the back is either at NL or grazing. This time next year I hope to be full SL. Just have to stay focused and keep taking care of my hair.
I wore a wng all weekend because it was quick, but they aren't for me. They require way too much care every day to look right. I'm definitely twisting it back up tonight.

Thanks for the response. How often did you do this?
Yes. I don't have enough moisture. I've never considered diluting my shampoo. I actually thought about going shampoo free at one point but reading fungal infections put me off. Diluting sounds like a good alternative to that. Thanks.
I also never DC with heat because the one I had didn't say it was needed on the container. I will start to soon though once I get my new products.

Every other day. I would also use a refresher spray 2x daily.

They are both SL. The first, many would say she is grazing SL and the second being full SL but they are both SL. SL has a range from the top of your shoulders to right above Apl.

Ok will I need to see an allergist? Can I go to my primary?
faithVA
Well-Known Member
You can try talking to your primary. They may suggest an allergist. Many doctors aren't week versed in it yet. Have you mentioned the issue to your doctor before? If they didn't catch it then they will probably not be of much help.
The only way I found out was to stop eating gluten/wheat for 4 weeks and trying to eat it again.
When was the last time you had blood work done?

I had blood work done a few months ago. I was having circulation issues with my legs and feet. I was diagnosed with livedo reticularis. I have to wear compression stockings now. I was tested for various autoimmune diseases, diabetes, cancer, and I had my nutrient levels check. Everything came back normal. I told the doctor about my crown and since everything came back normal, he told me to just stay away from the chemicals and maybe my scalp has developed a sensitivity to them. I will try going gluten free. That's pretty hard core! Lol maybe I should keep prepoo oil in my hair for longer than a few minutes. My scalp feels itchy and tingling in that area.

Any dr should be able to order a basic blood test for celiac. But just so you know there is a difference between celiac disease and gluten intolerence. Celiac shows up on tests whereas gluten intolerence may not. Going gluten free would be a good thing to try whether you get the test or not. It is very hardcore and can be expensive but once you get into the swing of things with diet change it can be the best thing ever. I was very ill and changed my diet. Although my diet is not as good I'm still what is considered healthy and I put it down to that plus a few other things I did. I really do hope your health issues improve for you.

My real point is that you can have something going on internally that is causing the issues. It sounds like it could be internal. So finding that source can be extremely helpful. You can work it from the outside but if it is something internal it may keep returning.
I definitely agree with your doc on letting the chemicals go. Doing hot oils will help as well as keeping your body and your scalp hydrated.

My wng had revolted so I washed again last night with the mud puddle. Then I put in flat twist with MHC Type 4 hair creme. Every time I get away from flat twist, I am relieved to return to give myself a break. I think I will wear flat twist for all of May. Then I may try 2 strand twist again at the beginning of June.

so how many inches does it look like i need to get to "full' SL?
faithVA

I wouldn't be able to tell without a back shot. But take a section of hair and measure to your collar bone in the front. That's going to give you an idea.
@jennifer30
I feel you...seems like it'll take another 100 years before I can claim full SL. I think I'm grazing or something kinda close, almost-not-quite-just-about-nearly-there land.....
Truth is, watching length so closely will drive (us) nuts.
