I sprayed my hair with bleach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was using the bleach/detergent/water mix to spray down and clean items around house yesterday. So this morning I picked that bottle up and started spraying my hair forgetting that it contained bleach!! (it was in a "Braid Spray" bottle) I smelled it by the third spray :eek::eek: and ran to the sink and washed my hair. Good thing only sprayed the ends of my hair first (in a small area)! o_Oo_Oo_O Am I nuts or am I NUTS!! Those setbacks be waiting for us!!!!! but it wont catch me in time... the first thing to NOT do is PANIC. I was all cool about it while washing my hair :afro:. But still what was I thinking?....

I still cannot believe I did that.

Did anyone transition with just bunning their hair? I don’t and can’t use wigs, weaves, braids, etc.. I can’t do twistout and braidouts.
Yes I am currently transitioning and I bun. I have a lot of shedding and my relaxed ends and multiple demarcation lines are very tangle-prone. The only way I can do this is by not disturbing the bun at all until it's wash day again. So I moisturize and seal and apply my gel all topically. However my hair is very thin so I don't need to take the bun down to moisturize. Spraying the top can get all the hair moist. If I put my fingers inside my hair, for example to oil, or massage the scalp, I get extensive tangling, specially if my hair has just been sprayed wet. But if I avoid this I can keep the bun in place for up to 2 weeks and detangling would still be very easy on wash day.

Happy to hear that you are transitioning. There aren't many active members transitioning at the moment, so I am happy for the company.

I am doing a forced baggy method at work under my hat right now. I will go home and finish my hair. I have been whipping water off my neck all day.

This is the first time I've worn my fro out in a few weeks and I'm already over it again. I don't retwist at night so every morning I just wait for the steam from the shower to un-mat my hair again :lol:

Gonna wash and retwist tomorrow. I'm not bout to play myself tryna do laundry and my hair on the same night.

I love how my mom looks at my hair now and has flashbacks to when I was little lol.

She tells me that my hair was dense and coily then too.....and way different from her texture (my mom has very fine hair like her mom).


Also, I've been trying to figure out why my hair likes DevaCurl products so much....then someone mentioned that they have a lot of protein. Then it hit me. My high porosity hair likes the protein that is in those products.

I want to go back to my Ayurvedic routine but i have to figure out how I’m going to do it.


With my job I don’t have to have my hair out. I actually wear a hard hat. I think if I can find a nice wig for the weekends I really don’t ever have to have my hair out.

I’m up early with the little one and he won’t be in preschool until he’s 4 unless next year I put him back in daycare.
I like protective styling with add In hair though. It deters me from taking it down so quickly.

I need to buy another rolling steamer and get back on my vitamins. Breast feeding is causing my hair to shed because I’m not taking my prenatal anymore.

Gotta get a plan. Reup myherbs and oils. Get steamer. Get deep conditioners. Hmmm

Why are YouTuber gurus mixing their products?




This is the mess I was talking about in that YouTube Broke My Hair thread. YouTube "gurus" doing the most for clicks, stunted hair growth, and future setback videos.
When the love of money abounds, nothing stay original or authentic. I have had many a sad moments over YouTube. I mourned Original YouTube's death.

As far as setbacks go I have to think "How would anyone fake a setback?":think::thought:
