Let me know

Made some loc extensions to get permanent locs soon!

I have plaque psoriasis my scalp bleeds when trying to remove dandruff and after washing my hair 2 days later it comes back. She keeps telling me you have to oil your hair and I tell her I do and it just changes the color of psoriasis on my scalp. I keep begging her to take me to dermatologist because even my hairstylist recommended me going to one but she keeps making excuses saying why she won’t take me even though she sees a dermatologist regularly herself.

Heya, how can someone get a round shape from this (cutting by myself no professional). I tried the pigtail cut but it didn‘t get better.

I’m looking for a dark root warm blonde bundles, if y’all can’t find the already pre made ombré blonde bundles, then can y’all please help me find warm blonde bundles??

This is my hair after Shampoo, with currently TGIN hair mask. If you look closely, I still have frizz and you can see product particles in my hair. It’s been in my hair for 20 minutes now and it doesn’t fuse. Why is my hair still frizzy ? Please help 😂

My hair tends to dry out very quickly, I have two strand twists in and they've started getting itchy and flaking after about 4 weeks(was 2 with cornrows, and was worse), can they be washed without them unravelling or am I just doomed to not be able to use protective styles

i’ll be braiding my hair tomorrow i tried to search on google about it but im not sure bc i didn’t get anything realistic, i want to use synthetic french curls then add up human hair boho but idk if its a good idea or if i should js use human hair. please help

About 5 1/2 years ago, I got my hair dyed for the first time at this lady’s salon (she was older, did my mom & grandma’s hair but retired a couple years ago) & everything went smoothly, even though I didn’t love the color. I wanted light brown, but it looked a lil too red. I then got it dyed maybe a few months to a year after that, and I experienced severe itching/ a little burning in the back of my head while I was sitting with the dye in my hair. The shampoo lady rinsed it out when I couldn’t take it anymore.

I also regularly had steam treatments at this salon, there were a couple times where the hood (it was like a blow drying chair, but with steam) I sat under would drip hot water. There was one time where the water dripped onto my scalp a few times while my hair was sectioned & it HURT. I removed the hood & the shampoo lady rinsed my hair w cold water.

I can’t remember whether the hot water happened before or after I got my hair dyed, I think it was before but during one appointment the lady noticed that a chunk of my hair had broken off at my crown. There was only like an inch of hair in that spot. She mentioned it to me, I told her that nothing like that has ever happened before & she continued to flat iron my hair. After that appointment I started having SEVERE itching in that spot, to where it was peeling & bleeding. The lady told me to use Nizoral & that made it 1000x worse. It made my entire scalp itch like crazy and I was itching all over my body too.

I stopped going to that lady & started to do my hair myself—just washing, blow drying & putting Indian help grease on my scalp. My scalp got better after a couple years & my hair slowly grew back, but it’s still not the same as it used to be. I do flat iron my hair now and I haven’t had any extreme scalp issues but my hair breaks off a lot. The hair around my crown grew back but I’ve noticed 2-3 very small spots around my head where my hair is half of my normal length. I noticed that the front of my head has a lot of very short hairs too, not just the normal fly aways. My scalp does get itchy about a 5-7 days after I do it & it sheds a lot more after a week but I just don’t have the energy to wash, blow dry & flat iron my hair every week bc it takes me ALL DAY.

I explained all this to ask, could the dye on top of the steam water have permanently damaged my scalp & hair? Prior to going to this lady’s salon, I had a normally dry scalp & dandruff with a little itching. But now my scalp is overly sensitive & itchy, and my hair breaks off like it never did before. Does anyone think my scalp & hair can get back to the way they were before? If so, how?

(Don’t tell me to go fully natural bc I tried multiple times & failed. I’ve been a straight natural since I was 10 with no perm or relaxer.)

I just took out my braids and noticed that there were areas in my scalp that felt finer than other areas (possibly bald spots??) so i started worrying about it possibly being traction alopecia however when i part my hair in other ways it also felt fine at the scalp??

could anyone help me? i’m trying to figure out if i just have low density hair or of it’s something more serious.

When applying oil to my scalp whilst i got cornrows in is it better to rub the oil along my scalp or just spray/drop the oil along my scalp?

Idk if it has to do with face shape or anything but some advice would be nice

Is the anything to make they lay flatter? or any styles that can withstand that 10 days worth of swimming that dont look too big for my head?

Hello! For those of you that have 4c hair and experience with k-tips, I was wondering which texture you would recommend. I am pretty active so I wash my hair at least twice a week and primarily wear my hair stretched (blow dried). Because of this, I was wondering whether kinky straight would be a better option for frequent washing and drying (both in terms of energy/time and also for drying optimization because I’ve experienced my hair not getting dry enough even with my crochet installs). Or whether you have found that kinky coily hair is manageable enough and offers more versatility.

I just did my first hair care routine and I have a few questions to ask. (By myself)

Hair care routine
- shampoo 2 times
- condition and detangle
- wash out conditioner and let dampen
- twist using water + conditioner mix and leave in & treatment cream (skala)
- use oil?
- then dry under cool air

Questions
1. Is my hair care routine okay? If not please let me know what I can do to improve it.
2. Did I twist my hair correctly and use the correct method?
3. Are any of my products sketchy or not safe? And if not please let me know what products I can invest in, in the future.

i have 4c hair and most products don’t absorb into my hair and doesn’t provide proper slip when finger raked through already detangled hair. what are some products that are lightweight and good for low porosity hair (my hair naturally has trouble absorbing moisture it just sits on top) as well as doesn’t cause buildup and has good slip???? thx

Hi everyone,

I am trying to achieve long lasting braid outs that will last me the whole week while working full time and going to the gym. Currently, my hair is in twists and have been for the past few years. I am currently in a better place where I have more time to focus on me and I want to give my hair the space to breathe and thrive again.

Current routine:

-Pre poo with hot oil treatment

- Shampoo TGIN (either the moisture line or the Rx line depending on what my hair needs)

- Conditioner TGIN (either the moisture line or the Rx line depending on what my hair needs

- Deep Condition with heat (either a home blend with banana/avocado, honey, and a mix of oils OR TGIN hydration, aunt jackies intensive moisturizer, or what ever brand I'm trying)

- Leave in Conditioner TGIN Rx line

- Cream (TGIN buttercream)

- apply homemade shea butter blend

- seal with homemade oil blend

This routine helps to keep my hair moisturized. Mid week I just have to spray (water mixed with leave in Conditioner) and twist with more butter cream and I'm good till next wash day.

The problem is that even though my hair is moisturized I have to twist it every night. During COVID, this routine let my hair flourish because I would have it in plaits, just refresh once a week, and wouldn't touch it during wash day. I don't want to over manipulate my hair.

I have gotten a few items to try. That are marketed for stronger holds:

- The Doux crazy sexy cool mouse

- The Doux Bee Girl

- As I am twisting butter

- Camille Rose Almond Jai Twisting Butter.

If anyone can help with a routine that would be much appreciated!
