Seems like the back left corner of my hair always either gets wet in the shower or gets sweated out, its annoying either way. Hair appointment on Friday, I'm ready.

I saw that Eco styler coconut gel but I didn't know they had a castor oil & flaxseed one. Where do they sell this?!?! I haven't seen it in stores

I wash my hair every week but lately my scalp has been itching more than usual. After I rinsed out the conditioner (I don't apply conditioner on my scalp), I saw my scalp looking whitish. I scratch a small area and noticed white gunk underneath my finger nail.
Ended up ordering the Philip Kingsley scalp exfoliation mask and heritage psoriasis shampoo.

That exfoliation can be so important. I don't put conditioner on my scalp either but there is no way to avoid it. I hope the PK works out.

I did a color and cut this weekend. I feel so refreshed. Took my hair from an inch or so past APL to Sl where the back is horter than the topand sides to add some fullness and general style to my hair. I love that my hair took less time to style, i was actually relieved. I have been dreading wash and style days. No I am wondering if I should cut it even shorter.

Do you just prefer relaxed or are you having issues with your natural hair?
My hair was easier to deal with when I relaxed. It also grew faster. My natural hair has been more work with less results. Plus it's short and I look horrible with short hair. I miss having length. I miss not having to work so hard to get my hair to look half way decent. My hair never looks neat. I also feel that I was more attractive as a relaxed head.

Well at least you tried. I've been natural for almost three years. Shrinkage is a beast. I wasn't used to short hair either, but I finally don't look bald headed anymore. Hair definitely shouldn't be stressful so do what's best for you. Just remember that even if you perm it you hair still be the same length.

Also have you looked into non perm straightening like design essentials, aveda, tms etc?

I have my hair straight right now using the Dark and Lovely anti reversion cream. My hair has length and, overall, I just look well put together with it striaghter. I know it sounds horrible, but I just don't look very nice with my natural hair while it is short.
I just feel I look better when my hair is longer.

My struggle for the past week: "I want to wear this cute sweater but if I wear it, I'll have to wear my hair up in a bun and my braidout looks too good for me to wear it up...better pick another top to wear."

"Oh, that's cute. Wait...nope. I'd have to wear my hair up for that one too"

I'm ready for warmer weather so I don't have to worry about my ends rubbing against fuzzy sweater material and I can wear my hair down and look cute in peace.
