No more washing w/o cornrows

Went to the gym and had a good workout. I did a dc with hair mayo and olive oil. I put the stuff on after I took out the cornrows. I didn't comb my hair before or during the time I put on the treatment. I left it on for about 3 hours and rinsed it out. I combed while in the shower but I saw too much hair coming out. I used some HE to give me slip while I combed out the tangles but I saw too much hair coming out so I stopped. I towel dried and started to detangle and it was weird cause my hair dried soo fast. Probably ten mins. I realised I still have porosity issues. I thought I'd resolved it 2 weeks ago with the two step treatment. Anyway, I put on some JBCO and tried to cornrow but it's so sticky that it was difficult to get my fingers through my hair w/o breakage.

Anyway it's a lesson to me to not condition without my cornrows in!

I started using MT mixed with JBCO, MN and some tea tree oil. The hair at the back of my head has 1 inch of length. I was dissapointed when I measured it because I thought it was 2 inches. I'm so frustrated with how slow that area is growing yet my sides have seen 2 inches of growth, it's now jaw length as appoosed to mid ear length.

I suppose I should be happy that there are no more bald spots

Megatek

The PJ in me couldn't resist. The bottle says it's for horses hooves! If I wasn't so desperate I wouldn't have even considered it. Anyway, I'm trying a mix of MT, JBCO, MN and some coconut oil. I really think my hair has grown. I can't believe I got to 12 weeks, that's the longest I've ever gone without having braids or weaves. Still get the itchies but not as bad as before. Organic root stimulator hair mayo is the bomb though. I DC before washing with it and my hair feels great. It's going to be my staple.
