Hey I didn't see a fotki album...you should do a med protein treatment on a weekly basis and a heavy one once per month. If you have done a heavy one this month you should do one and a good moisture treatment. And keep doing protective styles. HTH

Not a 'z' pattern is more of a circular curl pattern.  Like a spiral.  The spirals do break off but not alot.  They break off between styles. Some of it sheds and some of it breaks.  I haven't had a protein treatment in awhile. What should I do? Stop using relaxers, go to a professional.  My hair is really short now (check my fotki for pics) can I get weave installed and still have it look like mine? Or should I stick to braiding/protective styles?

Yea it might be your natural hair texture or it could be underprocessed hair...as long as your doing protein/moisture treatments and there is not excessive breakage then just slowly start cutting out those ends. HTH

What is your hair type? When it is natural is it a 'z' pattern or the pattern of the waves you see? If the waves break off (you see them in the sink, etc) then it is probably brittle ? May be your relaxer or the relaxing technique is at fault.

My hair doesn't feel brittle but it looks brittle.  When it's wet I see little waves at the ends of my hair.  When my hair was 6 inches long I saw the same little waves.  I put it through a lot of drama with colors and relaxers.  It began to break rapidly.  I did a few protein treatments and it slowed down.  Then I cut it because the color at the root and the color at the ends were not matching.  I cut it to 2 inches.  Now it's all one color.  I relax my hair and I still see waves at the ends.  Is my hair dry?  Why is it like that? Is it unhealthy? Someone please help?
