Whisper "bleep boop" to yourself when you're sad.
Hey girls!
After lurking up in here for weeks, I finally decided to participate
A few years ago, I was diagnosed with hypothyroid and that's when I slowly started losing my hair. I would lose softball size balls of hair every time I washed. This kept happening until I had about 15 long strands I was a mess.
At this point, I stopped caring about my hair. When I say I stopped caring, I mean I REALLY stopped caring. Wore a scarf 24/7. No moisturizing. No washing. No conditioning. No combing or brushing. Nothing. Just change my scarf and go.
Fast forward to a few weeks ago, when I finally decided to get back on the horse again. Chopped off those raggamuffin ends and washed and dc'd for the first time in forever. It felt goooood. I used to love playing with my new growth, so having a head full of it makes me so happy. I touch it ALL the time!
I have no clue how many months post relaxer I was, because (as you know) I wasn't caring about anything having to do with hair. But I know it was well over a year. It doesn't show though, because my hair was extremely neglected during that time. Sigh.
Never been natural before... unless you count my toddler years.
I'm not sure about my texture... I'm thinking 4a with a patch of 4b on my hairline. I'll post a pitcha and maybe ya'll can help me with that.
Reggie is kind of out of control, since I'm just getting back in the hair game. I dc overnight a few times a week and that's pretty much it. I'm a deep conditioning fiend. My hair has conditioner and a bag on it for most days of the week, cuz I'm trying to make up for lost time.
Current length varies because when I cut, I wasn't giving a damn. Some spots are 4 inches long, others are two. Kinda regretting my nonchalant cutting now.
I'm not very creative, so however my hair dries, plus a headband is my style of choice.
