Dawn posted a blog postSometimes i want to quit and start over again!
When attempting a growth journey, do you ever sometimes just want to quit and start from scratch with a nearly bald head? i know i do! it seems like such a challenge to grow your hair when you're actually focusing on it. while you know it'll get there if you just quit watching it and leave it to do its thing, it's hard to take your own advise on that one. my hair is APL, and i want very much to be at BSL. then i say to myself, then is when i'll be satisfied (though i'm sure we all know that's…See More

Keep It Kinky replied to Cheris Cooper's discussion Dry Hair"No matter what you do, if you're not moisturising and sealing at night, you may not have any success with achieving moisturised hair.
