More set backs

I haven't washed my hair for a week or pre pood. I've been hitting the gym and finding that I'm so tired as soon as I get home. I've been going to bed very early as a result.
I fell off on Friday and binged on chinese.

Anyway, been experiencing some major itchy scalp issues. my tea tree oil mix is not helping like it used to. I'm not sure if it's because I haven't been washing my hair and mixed with the excess sweat from exercise it has exacerbated the problem?

I've had my hair in cornrows under the half wig. I combed today and saw lots of hair in the comb. My hair esp the area of breakage where it's basically just afro is very dry. Nothing I have done works. I even tried petroleum oil (Plamers Olive Oil hairdress) and still dry!

I d/ced with olive oil replenishing pack mixed with olive oil, caster oil and avacado oil. Washed that out and used roux porosity control. My hair was soooo tangled. I had to use tons of conditioner to de tangle. I lost so much hair. My hair did feel a little moisturised but it was still dry after I blow dried it.

I'm considering going natural

I'm really giving consideration to cutting off all my hair and starting again! It is do dry around the crown and nape area it's unreal. I read somewhere that I might be giving my hair too much moisture? Anyway, I've decided to pre poo next time with just one of my oils tomorrow and see if that helps. I got myself a half wig which is preventing many of my frustrations and it means I now don't use heat on my hair at all except when I'm deep conditioning. On the positive side, I feel definite growth around the crown area.

still breaking

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I deep condition every time I wash, which is usually 3x a week. Recently, I have stopped massaging the shampoo into my hair and let it sit on my hair to reduce the amount of manipulation. I also keep doing the two step treatment after each wash. I tried the chi. Aside from being really expensive for a little bottle, it also stinks. I also do not see all the silkiness that everyone raves about.

I went to the gym and of course my hair puffed up, especially now that it's under processed it reverts so easily.

My hair is also sooo dry. I'm doing a 70% waster spray of glycerine, grape seed oil to moisturise.
