    The energy one is really true, I know you've been an advocate of only letting your family touch your hair and beard for a long time because of the energy and more people needed to know about how it can mess you up.

    Always wash your hair once a week and oil every two to three day. I apply levander oil, castor oil and coconut oil. Make sure you cover your head with a scarf during the night. Make sure the equipment you use on your clean ie the combs etc don't just pick the comb up when you have accidentally drop it and start using it without washing and serializing for approximately fifty to twenty minutes. Keep your hands clean at all times.

    I think my scalp is allergic to Jamaican black castor oil because my scalp gets extra flaky when I use it, so I don't use it. I may be dehydrated because the bulk of my dry scalp, otherwise, is usually around the front. It can be a lot of things for me though. I started eating meat after being pescetarian for 5 years so that might be a shock to my system. Also, I dry my hair with as black t-shirt, but my hair is very thick, and I think I have normal to high porosity naturally because I've never dyed or straightened my hair so it immediately gets drenched when water touches it, and it takes a while to dry so maybe I should start using a hair dryer. Also it's winter now so that could be it. Thanks for the tips. Started my microlocs almost a month ago and I'm looking forward to an itch-free journey

    My daughter hair is breaking off due to lack of vitamin d. Her vitamin d level is a 7 which basically mean she have no vitamin d in her body. She's on high dosage of vitamin d tablets. What should I do now? Should I leave her hair alone and let the breakage grow back then crochet it back once it's grown back? Help please??
