I thought it was a great suggestion.Abena Abenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15223775583878340348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206711798546725600.post-55850493564491520982007-12-14T11:43:00.000-08:002007-12-14T11:43:00.000-08:00Valenciajaz- Hmmm..that is interesting, thanks for...Valenciajaz- Hmmm..that is interesting, thanks for the input and suggestions.<BR/><BR/>Cherie- thanks sis, I heard about the tweezers-<BR/><BR/>Tanya- No, I am very sure that it is lint.

But if it's starting at the base where your new growth is coming in..it may be dandruff. Dandruff is such a tough little rascal to get out.Goodnappshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00761058336367682963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206711798546725600.post-26921450584266217422007-12-12T18:30:00.000-08:002007-12-12T18:30:00.000-08:00I have not had problems with lint persay but I hav...I have not had problems with lint persay but I have occassionally saw lint strands in my hair or maybe it was some grey:(...I have heard people say that they use tweezers to get the lint out..

Remember lots of shirs have linty insides even if the outside looks smooth, also pulling clothes from the dryer, hats, coats and towels also have lint to which our hair seems like a magnet.:-) I know Brunsli wrote about coloring hers with a Sharpie which I've done for some, others I've "brushed" out with a soft brush or carful tweezing. Good luck. -MoniqueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206711798546725600.post-79930071486182805082007-12-12T08:10:00.000-08:002007-12-12T08:10:00.000-08:00Hi Abena,I am newly locked and I seem to be having...Hi Abena,<BR/><BR/>I am newly locked and I seem to be having the same problem. I can't remember who's blog I was reading, but I know of one sister who does a daily ritual of "dry cleaning". She uses a regular lint roller and removes the excess lint from her hair everyday. I hope that helps :-)<BR/><BR/>ChelseaKwasmrshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034547051137241327noreply@blogger.com
