Ok so I'm going to tell you a little story.
I have been experiencing hair loss, for one reason or another, for quite some time. It has been a long battle over the years. Earlier last year I did 2 BKTs 3 months apart. At the time my hair looked amazing! But over time my hair died strand by strand.
My hair has been falling out from the root ever since, as if to purge all of the old BKT'd hair. Hence, it has thinned out considerably, compared to what it should look like.
My hair reacted to the BKT as if it were a really bad and overprocessed relaxer! And I now feel like I am transitioning out of it.
I recently took down the braids in my siggy which I had in for a week shy of 2 months. In this video:
Extension Takedown
And here is what the hair looks like before and after the braids:
Current State of Affairs
I did chop off hella hair all over not just that section in the middle.
At this current time I do have many new hairs sprouting all over my head, I call this Baby Hair Syndrome.
I will continue to trim the ends every few months to help thicken them back up.
It will probably take me another 2 years for my hair to get to where I want it to be as far as length and all over thickness. But I will keep working at it!
My biggest pet peeve is thin uneven hair.
I was contemplating shaving my head, but since doing this video I have decided against it. I hate short hair on myself and need to be able to at least put my hair into a ponytail, so I am going to keep it for now as long as it is not breaking like crazy. Just cut what needs to be cut for now.
I am taking vits consistently, occasionally using coffee rinses, and applying sulfur oil to my scalp every other day. I am cowashing every 1-2 days and wet bunning until I put my hair up into my next protective style.These things have helped me considerably to regrow all the hair.
My length goal for this year was originally MBL and there is really no telling if I will make it there or not.
If I do it will be that back tail section..
erplexed
This post would be better with comparison pics from over the years to give you an idea of what I am dealing with but sadly, fotki is down for a while...
But even though my hair does not really look bad it is maybe 1/4 of its natural thickness..
HHG Everyone!!
