Out with the old and in with the...natural?

Hello.  My name is Elisa and I am/was hooked on weaves


For my wedding, I really wanted to have long beautiful curls. I should have known I would get hooked and keep weaving it up for months. Well last night I was finally sick of it and took it out *snip snip* (well actually my mom did). 


Messy poof.  Post weave removal.  Pre wash.
My hair is in pretty good shape. It's not dry at all. My ends look great because I just got a trim before my last install. But I freaked when I got all the weave was out. Why, you ask?  You know the saying "out of sight, out of mind"? Well this saying truly applies to my alopecia situation. I stopped taking my medicine back in September (that is another blog post in itself) and figured that letting my hair rest would hopefully keep my hair loss to a minimum. I don't know if my alopecia has worsened or if I am in shock because I haven't really seen my hair since June, but I am definitely feeling some kind of way. I do have some edge breakage but I am pretty confident that I can get them back on track. 

All in all, I really missed my natural hair and I am so happy to see it. I have been lusting after beautiful 'fros, twists, and poofs and now I can have all of that again.

Hi, I've never had my scalp biopsied, but my two dermatologists are pretty convinced that it's CCC Alopecia. The second dermatologist prescribed the same things that the first prescribed - even though they didn't help (clobetasol, doxycycline, rogaine...). I'm currently trying a slew of herbs and natural things in place of this because the last time I tried those, my hair got very dry and broke off. What have you been using?
