hey ladies,
I wanted to give a quick update after two weeks of doing this hair challenge. I will definitely say the first week I had the itchiest scalp ever and I couldn’t tell if it was from new growth , dry scalp, or if it was because of my hairstyles. during the second week i kept the same style the whole time only took it down to brush my hair. I did not experience half of the itching I experienced the first week.
The main issue i’m experiencing now is prior to starting the hair challenge two weeks ago I had chopped off a good portion of my hair and after two weeks I’m starting to notice fairy knots. is this normal because I understand that we’re supposed to trim our ends every 6 to 8 weeks. my main hairstyles consist of twists, flat twists and French braids. every time I see A fairy knot I like to cut it off. i’m wondering if some naturals have to trim their hair prior to the four week mark. overall wash day, brushing, and styling has been a breeze.
FAIRY KNOTS is a phrase made up by YouTube. Single strand knots are one of many forms split ends come in. Your seeing more knots because something in your pattern/routine is breaking your ends. Knots are split ends. You need to journal your hair journey to see what your doing wrong.
