Hair Loss & Recovery

Hair Loss & Recovery

I’ve experienced hair loss many times in my hair travels. Many of them were when I was relaxed, but quite a few have been while natural.

Here are some photos of my own hair loss and breakage in 2011.  I damaged my hair with heat (too many times with the flat iron) and it began coming out in huge clumps after each washing.

I continued to trim and trim and one day I chopped it off again.  This was my second BC in 2 years…

I started using bentonite clay wash, and castor oil to thicken my hair overall and stop the damage…I did nighttime scalp massages 3x a week.  I would use it on my ends for twists and for hot oil treatments.

Hair Update After 2nd Big Chop

 

Hair Affirmation

Our hair affirmation for the week comes from the Divine Phenomenal Woman, Maya Angelou.  I had the opportunity to see Dr. Angelou perfom this dynamic poem live when I was in high school.  I’ve been a Phenomenal Woman ever since!

Apply this “hair food” to your hair 3x a day…

“Now you understand

Just why my head’s not bowed.   

I don’t shout or jump about

Or have to talk real loud.   

When you see me passing,

It ought to make you proud.

 

I say,

It’s in the click of my heels,

The bend of my hair,

the palm of my hand,

The need of my care,

‘Cause I’m a woman

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman,

That’s me. ”
