Still Dry....

Greetings all!

I hope everyone has been safe these past few weeks. As I am coming up on my 1 month lockiversary, I'm still a little bummed about slippage. I have a few more that have slipped since my follow up. All that aside, I still have this dry scalp issue. I think I am going to try a ACV rinse this week with my wash. I have 2 more weeks until my first re-tightening, and I can't wait. I have so much new growth that it looks really puffy. My family really seems to like my hair and I am really excited about how it will look when it grows out.

More to come soon......

First Wash Disaster!



Well, I did my first wash yesterday...........
I'm not at all impressed. I braided and banded, used Neutrogena T/Gel for my flaky scalp, and SL starter shampoo for my locks. After the wash, I unbraided and I looked like a deranged Fraggle! Not only that, I had major slippage in the back and around the nape of my neck. I am so frustrated, I don't know what to do.
I also have the lovely "snowing indoors" problem. I have the flakiest scalp around these parts. I have tried essential oil and water in a spritz to no avail. Please, anybody that can help, I welcome all suggestions.....
