    Today marks 1 year since I first lost the comb. They have formed better than I ever would have imagined. I back combed them myself over the course of 1 day, really tightly. They never really fell apart much, just at month 2-3 they decided to let go of some loose hair, but quickly they ate the loose hair back up.
    After month 5, my scalp and hair adjusted to washing once a week, unless of course i got extra sweaty. I usually only wash with baking soda, and sometimes apple cider vinagar rince beforehand. And sometimes when i feel like they need to smell good, i use a nice residue free shampoo with a light sent of lavender. My good camera recently found the afterlife, but i really wanted to just post these, with a relic webcam circa 2001....
