I doubt I'm anyone's hair idol, Lol! I have very fine hair and after this very loooong three year HHJ of being bonelaxed, texlaxed and now transitioning back to natural I have learned two things: No chemicals and no heat will keep hair on my head. Granted I did accomplish a decent head of relaxed hair at one point which was when I was bonelaxed but I was terribly thinned out due to the nature of my hair; fine & low- medium density.

I finally big chopped! I have at least an inch or so of hear damaged straight ends so I can't get a good pic of my curls. I think I'm going to cut off another two inches. I only have about 6 right now so I'm nervous

Congratulations looks good. I wouldn't go as far as two inches. Maybe you can get someone to help you get the rest of the straight pieces.

I envy those that can use cocleansers instead of shampoo. My scalp gets way too much buildup no matter what products I use in between washes.
Today was a much better wash day! I DCed with AOGBP and used Giovanni leave in for the first time and I loved the slip. Sealed with chi silk infusion.

Because my hair is always fuzzy and frizzy
It doesn't lay down
It's driving me nuts And I'm wondering if all of this is worth it. I feel unattractive everyday

I hated my hair through the majority of my transition. But since I bc'd I love it and I feel attractive, beautiful and sexy all the time now. I just wish it was longer. Bc'ing fixed a lot of things I hated about the two textures.I know this feeling. I felt ugly the entire year

I'm not sure how you wear your hair daily, but super slick edges using the scarf method can make a bad style look completely different. I use ecostyler and hicks edges on bad hair days and it makes a world of a difference.

My new growth seems wavy, but I think it may actually be curly but I have so much texlaxed hair stretching it out.

I used Shea Moisture JBCO setting lotion, Argan oil, and curlformers. They helped tremendously
I have this problem too. Its a torment. Im forced to lather over and over again and dry my hair out. Neutrogena T Sal seeed to work for a while but I think it stopped.
I'm at my wits end when it comes to shampooing. How can I clean my scalp without severely drying my hair. I even tried a scalp pre cleanse spray from sally's. It's not every effective. Idk what to do
. More frequent shampooing may help but I like to wear my hair straight.

I used that HV red tea hold pudding thing for the first time. Bomb Bantu knot out. I never use holding products because I've always been afraid of a dry crunch but my hair is fluffy and soft. I still can't believe how easy this transition has been. I was so afraid of it.

Well its very good to know because I'll be 20 weeks this Friday. Surprisingly I have not had any really bad tangling issues or knots since week 12-15 so if things get better, it'll be smooth sailing for me here on out!

Nazaneen are you able to do an Apple Cider Vinegar scalp cleanse. You can use a moisturizing poo or a sulfate free poo and spray ACV/water mix on your scalp and hair as a final rinse. Its all natural and people with sensitive or problemed scalps do well with this method. You can also use Rhassoul Clay Cleanse....its very healthy for your scalp, cleanse well but doesn't strip your hair, in fact is nourishes the hair. Look both of these up to learn more about them. I know using a sulfate shampoo and lathering several times is bad for both your scalp and hair and will exacerbate your problem.
