I forgot how much it itches to have new hair growing in. I am trying SO hard not to just yank everything around it out, but my head itches like I had poison ivy or chicken pox. I wish I knew of something I could put on it to make it stop, without making my hair white & icky looking. I just hope it all grows quick so that I can be over this new growth phase very soon; before I can’t resist pulling it all out or scratching it to death.

I think I might have to put some hydrocortizone cream on my head tonight to see if it helps with the itching at all. I also think I will skip using gel tomorrow to see if that helps.
I actually did fairly good with not pulling today, considering the amount that my scalp was bugging me. Still, I pulled when I got home, and that was frustrating. But I’m becoming more aware and I’m getting better and stopping myself before I get started. I’ve learned that is really the only technique that works. It still is not easy, but I can only try.
