Bald

I took out my braids yesterday and I am bald. Well, that's a slight exaggeration, but I feel bald.



It had been over four weeks since they were put in and I just wanted to wash my hair. Since you can't wash synthetic hair, I haven't been about to take a proper shower. A shower without the water running over my head and face doesn't feel as refreshing. It has been so hot that I have been dying to pour water on my head. So, Margaret and I worked on it for four hours. Agum and Dennis also stopped by to help. My hair was so greasy when all the extensions were taken out. Suzy had warned me a lot of hair would fall out, but it's ok. Normally we lose a lot of hair each day, but the extensions held them in. So what falls out is the hair that normally would have fallen out. When I borrowed a pick and began to comb my hair, bunches and bunches of hair came out. If Suzy hadn't warned me, I would have freaked out. It still seemed like a lot. Sabet actually thought that was the fake hair when he saw it in the trash can. What was left over was a frizzy mess. Suzy also warned me my hair would feel really thin. That's because I grew accustomed to the heavier, thicker extensions. It was true. Although the shower felt so nice, my hair felt really thin.

Now that is has dried, I am convinced I really lost an excess amount of hair. My hair feels terrible! I am contemplating shaving my head or cutting it short. What is left looks awful. I think my hair is just too weak and thin to hold extensions. I loved how they look and don't regret getting them, but I wouldn't recommend them to anyone with straight, thin hair like mine.



I have decided to wait a few days before doing anything drastic. I will let you know what I decide to do.
