Hey ladies. I decided that I would finally introduce myself after lurking for a while. I am so inspired by so many of you ladies, and I love all of the healthy hair advice on the website.
My hair is natural, but I press it twice a month. Does that mean it's still natural? I've never had a relaxer. I think my hair is 4a/4b. It used to be very thick until I tried to clarify with baking soda and used 2 cups instead of 2 tbl.
Needless to say that caused alot of shedding. I did this about last year at this time and my hair still hasn't fully recovered. I try to take care of it using advice from this board. My hair is about shoulder length in the back and chin length in the front. I wash my hair every week, but like two days before a wash day I have alot of shedding and I don't know why. 
erplexed I moisturize my hair daily and do scalp massages nightly.
Sorry this is so long ladies, but any advice would be appreciated!

Sorry, I shouldnt laugh... but I know that many of us have made similar mistakes that, in retrospect, we could kick ourselves for.
I love this board. You will read and receive tons of advice. I am so sorry about your mishap, but everybody makes mistakes... I know I did 
so just have a great time growing and learning more about hair.
