Bald Spot? WTF? REALLY???

Yes, ladies...I found a bald spot...a shiny, non-follicle having bald spot! OMG...I have been wondering why that area was looking thin for dare I say it...more than two years! I know that's a long time not to notice a bald spot...but I never part my hair straight down the center! I prefer the side bang! About two years ago, though, my hair was a tangled nightmare in the making. I had individual braids done and they ripped out my edges. I mean those things did some DAMAGE! If my hair was a car...it would've been totaled and they have never recovered! :( Well, my hair was looking mighty thin near the center of my forehead, but I just assumed that the braids thinned that area out some, too. Little did I know that when I parted my sew-in earlier this week that a greasy bald spot was waiting to surprise me! Any ideas on how I can stimulate some growth or is it a lost cause?!?! Man...oh...man...WTF! I'm thinking that I'm going to see if aloe works wonders like those articles said it does....a month from now...we'll see if there's a difference...God, I hope so!

In other news, the sew-in is great besides the fact that I have the itchies! I'm out!

Dye-namic Decisions

Ok...I just dyed my hair jet black! It's not permanent! Thank Heavens!!! It's only a rinse...I have yet another sew-in. I just did it yesterday, and I will continue to do my aloe rinses just not as often as I would have liked to do them. That is all...lol I'm out! HHG! Here's a pic of my style!



And here is a tutorial video about applying a color rinse! I had no idea how to do this at all...so a BIG THANK YOU goes to MissLaShonda on YT!

Style Profile...

Okay...since my last post (which was soooooooo long ago), I have been wearing a halfwig that's styled into a shoulder length bob. It's driving me crazy, though. I prefer sew-ins because I don't want to deal with my hair at all right now! I'm so...BUSY! Anywho, I will be doing a sew-in next week, and this time I hope it will last me 8 to 9 weeks. The curly weave I had before did not cut it for me. Better luck next time--I suppose. I will post pictures assuming that I actually like the way my hair looks! This is what I'm going for:



* I don't want it to be so bluntly cut, though. We'll see how it turns out!*

I'm planning to do protective styles until December 29! I'm excited because I'm going to BC on that day as well. I hope this personal challenge brings me lots of healthy new growth!

In other news, I'm still trying to figure out how to regrow my edges so if anyone has any ideas, I'm all EARS. I've been using Profectiv's products designed to regrow hair every day and TWICE a day...I'm going to use it faithfully until I don't have any more left so hopefully, I'll see some growth. Until then I'll be extremely careful with my fragile edges!

What's my Hair Type?



Ok...today I washed my 10 weeks post hair, and it feels wonderful. While I let my conditioner sit in my hair and work it's magic, I started to wonder about my hair type. Now I realize that i am NOT gifted at figuring hair types out at all so I'm hoping that:

1. My pics are clear enough for u to see since I took them on my cell.

AND

2. Someone out there really knows their stuff about hair types and will let me know a little something....lol

Feel free to comment!
