Try Comet bathroom cleaner spray. It works really well if used once a week. Also, use a daily shower spray after each shower that helps prevent the soap scum build-up in the first place. ... View related article.
Your post didn't mention race so I'm going to assume that because you chemically straightened your hair that you used a relaxer and are possibly Black. The deep conditioning with mayo was a great idea. If you have breakage, also try a deep conditioning Aphogee treatment which is available at most beauty supply stores. It's a bit pricey and smells horrible but stops any breakage and the moisturizing 2nd step does a great job at restoring moisture. I would also recommend you consider replacing your shampoo and conditioner w/products that baby chemically treated hair. Pantene's Relaxed and Natural line is a good one. And last but not least, hot oil treatments after every shampoo. Perhaps your hair texture wasn't suited to a relaxer or your expectations weren't in line with what the process does.
Most black women that use relaxers are going for the "baby doll"hair look. And as another poster said, be patient. It will take time to grow out the process and dealing with the new growth will be frustrating but it can be done. Oh, and if you liked the initial texture, it's possible you just used a relaxer that was too strong for your hair. You may need a gentle or regular if you used super. Or you may need a 'lye' instead of a 'no-lye'. I can't use no-lye relaxers because of the very problem you describe: it dries my hair out horribly and changes the texture in ways I don't like. You may have to experiment w/different types and strengths to get it right. Hope this helped! ... View related article.
All of the feedback was really good advice and should help you tremendously. I would only offer one other suggestion: make sure his crate isn't too big. Sometimes if the crate is too big, the dog will have enough space to potty on one end and then sleep or lay on the other end. Mainly I really second (and third!) the opinion that you should use lots of positive reinforcement and ignore unwanted behavior. ... View related article.
I had the same thing happen to me in 2006. I'm assuming you're Caucasian since you mentioned also having white spots. I'm a Black female so all of the blemishes left dark spots. I used 2% hydroquinone fade cream (available OTC) to get rid of the discoloration. It's now barely visible. The craters the blemishes left do get better with time, but never look "normal" again. I'm not sure how you get rid of the white spots but fading the dark spots should make a difference in your overall appearance. Do a Google search on remedies for white spots or visit a dermatologist. Good luck! ... View related article.
You should contact a BK attorney. Your prior trustee may also be able to give you instructions. If your BK was thrown out for non-payment, you may be forced into a Ch 7 when you refile. You haven't received any bills or notices from creditors YET but you likely will once they are notified that the automatic stay is no longer in force and you're no longer in bankruptcy. When collection activity begins again, it will begin with a vengeance and threats of lawsuits, etc. If you can't pay these bills, you need to see an attorney and begin the paperwork to file again ASAP. Hope this helps and good luck. ... View related article.
