Ladies -

I know some of you can undestand where I'm coming from. Tonight, I took out my braids that have been in for three weeks. I'll be rebraided at the end of the week (C&G). The very intense and extreme joy of being able to scratch my scalp is indescribable. I am almost weak with the thrill of a full wash and condition.

This is a silly post, I know, but I had to say it to those who might understand.

On a good note (other than scratching joy) I've got another 1/2 inch. This is so very cool. I am so torn about C&G mostly because I am do darn tired of braids, but I am going to continue for now. Given that I have not combed or brushed for three weeks, the amount of hair that shed was amazingly little and my ends are not breaking at all (I was worried), and my hair line looks good.

Now if I could only figure out how to keep that blinking scarf on my head at night, all would be well. No matter what I do, it ends up in bed with me in the morning. Scarf and bonnet - two bed companions. So far, the only thing that works is to tie it so tightly, I get an indentation and a huge headache.

Any scarf suggestions? I'm thinking silk sheets:lol:

When I wore braids I think that was my favorite part.

Have you tried a scarf that's a little stretchy? I use one made by Christina that has a little stretch and usually makes it through my wild sleeping. Unless I take it off in my sleep.
 
There's nothing like scratchin the crap outta your scalp when you take out braids! Have you washed your hair already? I'll bet your gonna be on cloud 9! :D Sorry, I can't help you with the scarf thing. I'm part of the indented forehead club, too!
 
I feel you on loving a good scratch. I even have a special comb that I use just for that purpose when I need one!:lol:
 
wish i could do one now but i have to wait until i get out of braids but i just put them in:lachen: :lachen: :lachen: :lol: :lol: :lachen: i love a good scratch
 
Thank you ladies - I knew you would understand. I'm going to enjoy the freedom of no braids for a couple days before they go back in.
