Hey guys!
So I’ve been a lurker for awhile. I stumbled across this board from a gossip blog. I read the story and then clicked the link to just browse around and read a thread on the craziest hair stories from when you were younger. Someone said her hair was itchy and when she went to the hairdresser a moth flew out of her hair lol. After that, I became hooked! I finally decided to finally join fully lol
In short:
I got these Senegalese twists in 2010. The braider and I did not get along. I should have just walked out then and there. Took the twists out about 2 months later and all my hair had fallen out and on top of that so did my hairline! Now, I am giving up perms and cutting off my ends. I don’t know if I’m going the natural route or just getting rid of my dry split ends. I just know my hairline can’t take perms right now as it has been a year and some months and it still is very bald looking. May 2012, will make this incident two years old and I’m desperate for a normal hairline. I do unfortunately have another set of Senegalese twists in at the moment (completely different hair braider btw lol), but after the 2-3 months are up I am not going to them again to give my hairline proper space to recover.
Regimen now
Gueye braid spray: Nightly, sometimes twice a day. I don’t think it is really growing my hair, but it keeps the itching and dandruff away.
Blue Moon Coconut oil: Weekly. My hair is very dry so maybe I should do it two times a week.
Hairfinity: 2 in the morning. I upped my water intake to about 6-7 glasses of water a day because I read on here some people were experiencing breakouts.
Castor oil- Nightly, sometimes twice a day if I am not leaving the house for the day. Used castor oil from vitamin shop for a month before switching to jbco and I have been using this for 2 months. If I can find the old formula bottles of Megatek, I want to use 50% of that and 50% of jbco in an 8 oz. I emailed the HorseLoverZ / EasyPetStore seller on Amazon and got this reply, “We continually get new stock in of this item, so we could have some of the old left over. Once that stock is depleted it would change to the new formula. I am sorry, but I do not know which you may receive.” Maybe you guys can PM and point me in the right direction of who may still have the old formula in stock.
Things that have not worked for me
MSM
Biotin
Gueye pills
Gueye hair oil
Sulfur powder/jojoba /coconut oil mix
Shea moisturizer

Your hairline is better than you described btw.. lol
I agree with judy4all; my hair is always dry dry dry and the only thing that actually helped was opposite of what I thought. I thought washing once weekly and using oils would help seal, but the end result was that I needed to put more water on my hair. So, now I'm washing more often and going no sulfate, no silicone. I also DC once a week (alternating protein and moisture DCs) and use oil lightly on my ends and for shine. My hair's moisture level has improved dramatically in just 2 weeks....
