Argh, my stupid hair! - Page 3

Clockwatcher · 01-03-2012, 03:01 PM

Took out my braids and loving my hair. Everytime I take them out, it's like I am losing clumps of hair and wonder why I am not yet bald

but I relaxed my hair and was sure I was bald but after it dried, it looks perfectly normal. Length is really good and longer than when I first started this thread. YAY. Now, the thing is I am going to Naija this year and will braid my hair but don't want to suffer my previous fate. Is it because they burn the braid/use a hair dryer or whatever it was they did? I'm going to ask them to only burn the ends this time.

As for length, I was joking before but I think I really am APL now. YES. I had to trim again especially as my left side seems to grow faster but it's all good. Very happy with my hair now. I have it in bantu knot outs and it's past my shoulders with the curls. I guess I'm going to aim for mid back length? LOL.

Will have it out for about two weeks before putting in some cornrows then maybe two weeks later, back to single braids. My hair doesn't do well in the winter at all which is why I need to keep it in braids otherwise it will break off from the roots (when the new growth starts to appear).

Can't be bothered with getting single braids this year so I'm doing two weeks cornrows, 1 week out. So far, no breakage. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I honestly don't know if it's the cowashing (because it's really the only thing I'm doing differently) but this is the first time in years I didn't do single braids in the winter (I had cornrows for a month, keeping it 2 weeks at a time) and I didn't experience any breakage from the new growth. I even stretched my relaxer for 3 months. I'm really happy with my hair these days.

I was jealousing your length check pic.

Talltolu (this is you, abi?),

Yeah, if you were at armpit length, you must have really gone nuts with your scissors.

aderonkei · 04-16-2012, 03:26 PM

She def did...yeye girl

Clockwatcher · 04-16-2012, 03:29 PM

Crazy stuff. It's because your hair grows fast otherwise you wouldn't play this game. Like my left side grows faster than my right so I always have to cut more of it each time and it pains me. Talk less of how many inches you just got off.

Yelz! I was getting frustrated with detangling. So, instead of detangling I just cut off chunks.....and then I of course had to even it out. That's why the length difference is so much.
