1 Month of Hair Growth Progress Pictures! 23 October 2012 - 23 November 2012


Minus that bald area I got the rest of my hair is growing back from that scissor happy stylist cutting my hair. For this month time frame my constant product is "CASTOR OIL. " No matter what I did to my hair I made sure I incorporated castor oil into it. I would either use the JBCO or the drugstore brand.

My Hair Plan & What I Did 2 My Hair 2 Day....


Okay so today like I said I couldn’t sleep and I was thinking about my hair…. I got up washed it with the above shampoo and conditioner then I decided to deep condition for 2 days with the Queen Helen cholesterol that I got from the PX. I remember this chick back in the day name Bronzeg used it for her journey and she swore by it…. I DON’T agree with the ingredients but it’s all I have right now. So I went and washed my hair in two braids instead of four this time. They started slipping loose cause I didn’t secure them and I had conditioner on them…so I was like let me just take the braid out and detangle with my fingers underneath the running water while rinsing out the conditioner. So I carefully did it and it worked REALLY good. I know it’s not proper detangling but it beats running the comb through my ALREADY weak hair to detangle….. So I detangled and re-braided my hair in two braids again….squeezed the excess water out of my hair and applied the Queen Helen….put on my shower cap while I finished showering. Then when I got back to my DARK azz tent because the generator was out…. I took a plastic bag from some clothes I got and put it over my head and secured it with bobby pins. Then put on my black silky durag, then my nude stocking cap and applied my lace wig. It wasn’t that bag. I noticed the lace wig was easier to re-apply because the lace had harden a little from me using 99% alcohol to remove the glue. I applied the glue to my front sections and I KNOW this is bad but I applied a little to the hairs on the side so I didn’t have to glue the lace part down. Why did I do that? Because it’s easier to remove a little glue from the hair than the lace.


So my plan is too alternate deep conditioning and co washing every 2 days… I know that’s a lot BUT I have to go hard or go bald, lol… I figure if I am not going to stern about moisturizing and sealing then I need to keep my hair in a “wet” environment and keep my scalp clean.

Bald Patch :(

As you all know I'm suffering from a scissor happy stylist and I am suffering from a huge bald spot that I believe came from stress and neglect of my hair! :( or maybe the relaxer did it... I have dealing with a great deal of shedding that also lead up to this too...I dunno. But last month I vowed to start back to nourishing my hair and I did good but I slacked.... From 23 Oct to 23 Nov I noticed growth while going heavy on castor oil but my bald spot didnt fill in like I thought it should. I finally took a picture with my Canon instead of the blurry iphone. Its amazing how the quality of a good lenses can make your hair look...my bald spot looked BiGGER! *tear* So I'm not going to post a picture of it until next month when hopefully I see progress... But until then here is my starting pic from 23 Oct.. see u can never tell I have a bald patch BUT you can see my hair is obviously thinner... SMH... Damn it happens to the best of us...I'm determined to fight it though... Have any of you went through this?
