I missed the pitchas? Damn. I've been getting dd situated. Got her hair braided for her trip and helped her pack. Now she doesn't want to go . I won't make her if she doesn't want to. I'm a firm believer in following your first mind.

Hey Divas I have a quick vent:

I'm so sad and discouraged. I've been struggling with my hair since I came to switzerland dryness, breakage, excessive shedding, excessive tangling, you name it.

So last night i was looking at my hair and was like why is this side so thin compared to the other and i started to examine my hair more closely and I have serious breakage/balding in one area. It looks so bad and I just don't know what to do.

I've been so worried about retaining length and reaching BSL that I did not pay attention to what was going on with my sides. I knew there was a lot of shedding, but I didn't know it was this bad. This is my first major setback and I just don't know what to do

Thanks for listening/reading ladies

im sorry about your set back. you have wigs with you right? wash and deep condition, slather your hair in leave in and seal it in with a butter or a heavy oil, rub your scalp with castor oil, braid your hair and wear a wig. just put your hair away and keep your scalp and ends moisturized. itll be back in no time

 

[divachyk]

13StepsAhead,
I am very sorry you're having this issue. Maybe some of the ladies can chime in on how to recover those ares.

 

[13StepsAhead]

Thanks divachyk and chebaby.

I'm definately going to conrow and put it up for a while. This is the first time something like this has ever happened to me.

 

[divachyk]

Thanks divachyk and chebaby.

13StepsAheadI will be cutting about 2 inches myself because of a thin hemline. I definitely know how frustrating it is. The way mine has thinned really leaves me with no other choice but to cut. I will likely cut an inch at a time because I am chicken. Have you identified what might have caused the breakage, shedding and/or thinning?

 

[13StepsAhead]

divachyk I honestly think its the hard water. I did purchase a filter, but I'm not sure I got the right kind I think the one I purchased takes out more chlorine than the mineral deposits. And maybe some stress; sometimes it get a little tough being so far away from home. Other than that I really don't know what it could be. I'm not doing anything different than I would do at home.

Eisani, I took it down because I feel paranoid about having my pic up for some reason and i looked crazy in the face, I will put it back up for you when I get home or PM it to you.

Brownie518, I forgot to say thank you for the compliment last night!

mkd -you looked pretty but :heated:

Golden75 thanks and

 

[Shay72]

ATL ladies--Any good fleamarkets here? I've accepted that I may be shipping stuff back to myself .

 

[mkd]

What are you looking for Shay72? What kind of things in a flea market are you looking for?

 

[Shay72]

mkd
Mostly accessories--earrings,bracelets,shoes,hair accessories

Maybe some clothes too

 

[Shay72]

mkd
Little knick knacks and maybe some art too

 

[Eisani]

mkd no worries, I understand. It's one of the reasons I don't post pics anymore. Between two faced folks, photo theft and all that other good stuff, I'm good too lol!

 

[divachyk]

Shay72, purchase whatever you want and ship it to yourself before leaving. That way, you don't have to pay for heavy luggage and risk it being damaged/busted up in transit with how TSA handles your luggage.

 

[divachyk]

@LuvlyRain3, thank you for the refreshing comment.

Ladies, dh's appt with the urologist is set for Tues. The appt clerk mentioned that nodules present on the prostate is not uncommon. That's promising news.

@13StepsAhead, what type of filter do you have? I have a Sprite filter from Lowe's and think it gets the job done. Stress is not helpful for our hair/body but no matter how hard I try to live and let go, I simply can't on some things. Are you able to skype with family to help with the transition.

@mkd, I missed your pic but am sure it was pretty. If you repost, let me know, I'd love to see it. @bronzebomb, got me all excited at exotical.

@Eisani, I understand what you mean about posting pics. I only post pics from the back as my life has not been the same since experiencing a break-in. I live life so protected and guarded although I know that's not healthy either. It took me forever to buy/sell on the forum because of being so guarded.

 

[Golden75]

@divachyk - me too. I was like, wait I gotta send my info? You cain't just put golden75, and I'll get it?

I wouldn't leave my face on the innanets but for a hot second or not at all either. Don't know what folks will do. Shoot I don't want my head being used in a before and after, and I'm the before

 

[divachyk]

Golden75, Just use my initials, my screen name, something? I mean, you need to know my govt name? I truly have to remind myself on the regular that everyone is not out to harm me.

divachyk - I mean if I had a break-in, lawd I'd be a mess. That's why I keeps a pitbull, he bites first, asks questions later! My head is messed up from watching to many Lifetime movies back in the day.

 

[Eisani]

I wanna buy sumfin . I was *thisclose* to buying two more swimsuits but I live in MI, we don't get that much warm weather! I want something, not sure what. I'm supposed to be making a nail polish kit for my oldest aunt. They just moved her to a nursng home and she's taken to fixing herself up again. Maybe I'll put that together this weekend.

 

[mkd]

divachyk, I am the same way. I don't post my babies' pics on the net for that same reason. A lot of people on this site alone are extra and cray. I will have to go off on someone for stealing pics or saving them etc. Plus, I don't know who is lurking on the board, which is why I did it as an attachment and not cut and pasting the picture itself. I have to figure out how to blur my face out, anyone know?

 

[Golden75]

My Trigger is out for delivery!

 

[Golden75]

Eisani - I want sumfin too but I'm gonna be strong, cause I dunno if I want Kyra's, if she has a decent sale, and if she keep the free ship over $50, I may go for it, get some 16oz'rs. Trying to replace Oyin since they neva want to give me a price break, and I ain't neva seen free ship!

But I am also hoping DB does something in May, I need the pumpkin, really need the pumpkin.

I am realizing I have no stylers, if I ever decide to style my hair in something other then weaves, wigs, twists or braids. I'll slowly work those into my stash.

mkd, i think you do it by going to edit and using picture chop. I only post the hair no face. You can copy anything!

 

[mkd]

ThanksLtown, I will try that.
