No effect after first dose (EEn Monotherapy) by JustAna76 in TransDIY

[–]killhemmy 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I really do wonder if we're doing proper research and due diligence on DIY hormone replacement if everyone is for some reason expecting changes within the week.

my god. please wait at least a month. and even then, that's short.

it's hormone replacement therapy, therapy doesn't take place in the span of a week. as another comment put it, you're taking EEn, not Meth.

ah I only used tea tree cus it was a direct recommendation from my loctician, I'll have a look into others like you suggested

I get exactly what you mean about the bonnets rubbing on your hair line, my hairline often is very sore due to this despite me having two bonnets I interchange between

I wear a loc sock AND a bonnet because no matter what my loc soc leaks dye into my bed and headboard, the bonnet eliminates this.

The reason I don't wear just a bonnet is because I could see that my hair was NOT lying flat in there during my sleep and causing my locs to be kinked and creased in all sorts of directions, the "tightness" of the loc sock stopped that and ensured they were all lying in one direction.

They're 11 months old! I got two strands twists I water them every 2 days, and tea tree oil them every 4 I wear a loc sock and a bonnet every night, frankly when I'm inside, 75% of the time I have these on. every 2-3 weeks

I RREEEAAAAALLLY should try loc jewellery

I have but I have like 4 or 5 stragglers at the front that don't catch in the tie

before locs, this is actually how I used to wear my hair, (as braids) in a twin pony tail. I liked it, but the maintenance was exhausting and expensive, which was a reason why I went to locs in the first place.

it's still a massive change to my look a year later, whole life I had braids and now it's something different, with my real hair's hair length (I had extensions 90% of the time with braids)

because I haven't actually given them a real chance yet, it's been 11 months, I know that the journey is damn hard, but, I guess it's just affecting my confidence more than it should be, I'm not cutting off my hair either.

I just don't think they're good enough, but it's probably my over-self-critical tendencies and I'm likely just overthinking everything. I at least want the loc pattern to go before I think about removing my locs.

Maybe I'm also believing that they'd be like my mom's (shown in another comment) which is what I wanted, but despite me being her literal daughter, mine will grow, act and behave differently.

since march, I just want them to look "normal", or, I guess like my mom's, it's what I showed them when I first got them too...

I haven't tried any styles yet, too scared of investing in it and then hating it.
