Again instead of worrying about my hair, I cut it really short and then got some really, really fly wigs for special occasions or just when I want a different look. You can get gorgeous wigs for dirt cheap, that look natural and just wash them and/or toss them and concentrate on getting your scalp healed. When we wear Braids, cornrows and weaves we don't wash our scalps regularly - maybe for weeks. This is not going to help your scalp purge or heal.
While the MMS does help your scalp, it does a number on your hair. I am totally natural and only use henna to color my hair, no perms or chemical dyes. I use natural almond and coconut oils in my hair now instead of all the other(chemical) hair styling products I used to use. I figure that anything with less chemicals in it, means less chemicals clogging up my system, including my hair and scalp. Especially since my system is already compromised dealing with this condition.
Hope this helps - if you want to talk, you can get my number from Mel.
Peace, Blessing and a speedy recovery! |
