Very much in one of those stages...then the shingles on top of it, and I just realized my baby is 3 months old, which is a common time for a "hormone dump." Meh.
You guys are super encouraging!
Day 2 of the shingles meds...Learned I can put a chamomile tea on the affected area, so I'm gonna give that a shot.
I'm feeling less panicky about my locks. I can see how rubbing might cause/have caused damage, so I'll back off of that (what little I have done) and see what happens. I'm thinking about finding someone to pull the loose hairs in for me, though, after the shingles heal, just cos it kindof drives me nuts. We'll see tho, since that tends to be expensive and hard to find.
I'm still not sure why the loose hairs haven't locked on their own. It's annoying...but I'm not ready to give up on them over it.
I've got shingles all over my scalp. To catch you up to where I'm at- I've had dreads for 3 years. In that time, I've had 2 babies, which has seriously gotten in the way of maintenance. I've got a loose hair, loose roots (they don't grow in locked at all..takes lots of work) mess..and now shingles, which will leave me not being able to do anything for a couple weeks or so.
