Niece's Wedding in December and well wanted to color my hair so OMG... she left it on too long, I thought she was only supposed to leave it on for like 15 mins cause the Girl that usually does it only leaves it on for a short time, well it turns out this Girl says you have to leave it on longer for permanent color to take... Permanent color I never got that before so anyway it just about ripped my scalp apart. I lost 6 inches of growth on my hair.
I washed it best I could but I guess I should have clarified or something because it left me with so many sores on my scalp that my hair just started falling out big time.
So what do I do?
I went back to the drawing board Ladies... yep I am starting from scratch LOL, back to braids for like 60 days. Well I lost some hair I am going to post some pictures of what happen and how it has effected my growth.
So here is me getting damage done to my hair colored and blow out... OMG hated it
but I did love the results I got my hair was banging...
and at the Wedding it was great loved it...
The Wedding my Baby Sis Suzanne and my Brother Archie Father of the Bride...
and did I say I didnt know how to act LOL...
I was having fun with my new hair style and all until...
After my first washing, thats when I notice my head was full of sores, now I realize that sometimes getting my hair blown out dries my scalp and could hurt a bit, but I had sore spots that was losing hair and turned into bald stops all over it, see
My hair was falling out by the gobs full, most I must have had about 6 to 10 sores on my scalp growing bigger and bigger.
it made my hair dull and dry, it was cracking.
My length was now gone, the few strands of length I was able to hold on to after cutting about 6 inches all around. All my thickness and fullness is now gone, I am starting it all over again. The damage was caused by the color, which I dont usually use permanent color on my hair anymore, for the past 2 years I have been coloring my hair with Henna Treatments, but since I was in a rush to get to the Wedding I didnt have time to wait for the Girl who usually does my hair.
Starting with Braids Back to Square One...
after my cutting and before the braids.

Progress Report
My results after 3 weeks of Treatment,
I see a little bit of new growth coming in on top of my head where a lot of my hair had falling out, this growth is happening all over my head, and if you leave Braids in you will see the same thing start to happen. I can still see a bald stop right in the front of my head but hair is starting to grow there too.
