QuoteReplyTopic: Whats happening with my hair? Posted: January 20 2006 at 2:13pm
Something odd has happened to my hair. There are little one-inch
strands on the top of my head that float up into the air occasionally
and just generally look awful. Otherwise my hair is rather long
and while occasionally it can get too dry, it's generally not a
problem. I tried googling to find out what's wrong, but I wasn't
sure how to describe it!
I can think of two causes. First is that I permed it 2-3 months
ago. The second is that I often wear hair scrunchies - I've cut
back but I still need to use them 4-5 times a week when I exercise.
So, I guess I have two questions. First, what is happening and why? And second, is there anything I can do about it?

It sounds like breakage to me. I don't know what else to say. You can use hair spray or serum to kinda hold them down and just try to take care of your hair by conditioning and whatnot. It's happened to me before. They'll grow out and lay down again.

What you have is breakage which is known as "Angel Hair". The suggestions provided above are excellent. You will just basically have to wait until your hair grows out for the "halo" hair to settle down.
Good luck to you.
That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger or drives you totally insane. :-)
