I hit 2 weeks yesterday, started with T&R and very minimal crochet.After finding this site,I haven't done anything to them beyond seperating and I've washed 3 times so far(baking soda,sea salt). The main questions(concerns) I have right now:
1.I still have weird "scalpy" places showing in the back of my head,up around the crown area...I'm assuming it's just from the way they were sectioned when my friend T&R'd them...but will that go away with time?
2.My end/tips are actually coming together really well on their own, and I'm glad now that we didn't blunt them...but several of the roots are really loosening,especially on either side of my head.Should I totally leave them alone or would it help to put a bead up towards the loose root in those places? I have other beads in, but none as far up as the root area.
3.I do have what appears to be some dandruff, and I have used tea tree oil which has helped the itching.Will the dandruff pass on it's own as my scalp adjusts to the less frequent washing and the tightning of my hair...or should I do something else to get rid of it?
4. Approx how long(with T&R) til the "braided" look isn't as apparant?
I posted some pics in the photo section last week, I will try to post current ones tonight. Thanks again for all the help this site has provided me already
