Such a bad habbit... :-(


I just realized that I have been doing something that's damaging to my hair, without even realizing it. If my roots are not freshly twisted and I have fresh new growth at the base of my loc's, I will run my fingers through my hair and pull out little naps when I am bored or stressed. I use to do this once in a while, but just realized that I have been doing this like once or twice a day. This is not a good habit to have. Especially since once I wash my hair, the little naps will loosen up and help to keep the base of my loc's stronger. I need to keep my hand out of my hair. If I keep this up, my hair is going to start to thin out and cause my locs to be thinner and weaker. So I think I just learned my lesson. No hands in my hair unless absolutely necessary...

    Wow Cee... I am sorry to hear that. But that definitely means I need to pay more attention to what I am doing. Thank you for letting me know what can happen if I keep on pulling my little naps out.

    lol... Lion-ess. We both need to stop. I have actually been getting really good about it. I will feel myself reaching for my hair. But now if I find little naps, I just massage them a little until they soften up. I think thats a good alternative to ripping them out! :-)
