Why can't I go pass 4 days w/o washing

Four days is my limit too, always has been really. It's not helping the cause that I've started rubbing castor oil on my edges every day, the front of my head gets build-up even quicker now.

@LADI I don't know what you're moisturizing with, but if it's something with cones in it, it seals the hair so that you cannot add anymore moisturizer to it so hair will feel dry if it gets buildup of the products.

As for shedding, that's not a bad thing. It's supposed to happen unless you're not normal. You are supposed to shed 50-100 hairs PER DAY. When you don't see it, it just cause it's caught in your hair but nature has determined that follicles will spit out hair when it reaches the end of the growth cycle so new hairs can be born. So whenever people panic about shedding, I always wonder whether they really think they'd be better off if no hair shed. I personally would panic if that's the case coz it'd mean my hair isn't growing or something is wrong with my follicles and I'd worry that I might get bald soon.

The only shedding that should worry you is the sort that makes your hair appear thinner or that is accompanied by a sore or itchy scalp...or where clumps of hair come out all from one spot and leave a bald patch.

Hi Nonie,

I use spritz hair with Infusium 23 leavi in(volume), Africa's Best Shea Butter & Tea Tree oil Moisturizer and then seal with Vatika Coconut oil.

I wash 2x a week and wld like to add co washes but afraid of losing too much hair while detangling.
