Am I Balding? | Chronicles of An Honest Natural No. 1

Hi Guys! I hope all of you are having a great day thus far. So, this morning while tending to my hair and doing my normal moisturizing and sealing, I noticed a small but obvious bald spot towards the front of my hairline. The size is smaller than a dime. 

It literally freaked me out! And, still does a bit. Of course, I immediately started to think the worst. And, I began to mentally eliminate some products I will no longer use. Not that they are bad or the reason why my hair has suffered in that area, but I began thinking of any recent changes that I did with my regimen in the past few weeks that may have caused this. And, I have decided to cut back on a few things until this is corrected.

THE GAME PLAN

I am going to take a break from using any new products at the moment and focus on what I know works for my hair and scalp. I will continue to take my hair vitamins to help grow and thicken the hair in that area. Of course, I will be massaging my scalp every day and applying a hair growth oil to my scalp every couple of days. As sad as I am to say this, I will have to take a little break from wearing my wig. I am thinking of possibly wearing it two days a week (on weekends) versus five days a week (Monday through Friday), as I have been doing. I may just stop wearing it completely for a while. In terms of a protective style, my hair will be kept in regular to jumbo sized twists and pulled back in a loose bun. I recently started eating healthy and drinking my water, so I will stay consistent with that (Lord, help me!). I am sticking with my regimen and the Greenhouse Effect because I know that is not the problem but I will be sticking with products I know. I will likely not try anything new until I notice an improvement in that area. Tonight, I plan on searching my entire scalp to make sure there are no other small patches. And, I am going to do something fairly new for me, and that is begin praying over my hair and scalp (and of course, my health overall). I have heard others doing this and watched how God really answered their prayers. Ask and you shall receive. ~Matthew 21:22~ :)

This is the first time I have ever experienced this since being natural so it does make me wonder how and why, and everything else in between. This is new for me. I am slowly calming down about this issue because I believe I can get my hair to grow back in that spot. And, as tough as it is to deal with this right now, it feels better letting you guys know the truth about my hair issues. We all deal with issues in one way or another with our hair and this happens to be my most recent one. Okay, so now that I have shared, I am going to breathe, not stress and carefully monitor and treat this area for the next month, or so. I will definitely keep you updated about my progress.

Thanks for being so supportive and helping me feel comfortable about sharing my journey!

Thanks for Reading!
