Hey everyone, I am new here and i have a few ?s it seems like everyone is pretty knowledgeable about hair.
Here goes:
I have relaxed hair thats about 2 inches below my shoulders and my hair broke off about 4 years ago beccause of the curling iron and it jworse. I go to the hair salon every 2weks and get a touch up every 6wks. if i can't get to the hair salon i use kera hydrating detangling shampoo and leave in conditoner. i use doo gro grease @ night and then i tie my hair up with silk scarf(not wraping) My hair has broken @ the back on the left side. and it will grow back and then it will break off and its been that way for 2 to 3 years. Its growing back right now but i want to try to make my hair grow back but if it breaks off again i think i'm gonna try to grow my perm out.
do you use a rinse out conditioner? and yes, stop relaxing so often. you can try stretching to 8 weeks next time. also, you need to start using a protein product. especially for the section that's breaking.
i would recommened a light protein conditioner every week and a strong one once a month. moisturise daily and stop or reduce the amount/frequency of heat you apply to your hair.

Welcome to the site! I agree with Renee after shampooing you should use a deep conditioner ex: ORS replensing pak, Kenra MC, Miss keys 10 en 1 or a Keracare condish. I would recomend doing a heavy protein treatment (Apoghee for damaged hair) to stop the breaking and strenghten your hair. I am not familar with doo gro products but if it contains mineral oil or petroleum it is not benfiting your hair try: Wild growh oil or Parnevu t-tree oil (in applicator bottle). For daily maintence apply a leave-in conditioner (Neutrogena Silk-leave in) and seal it with an oil. HTH
Thanks for all the tips, should i start washing my hair every week? i usually go to the salon and get it washed every 2wks. This leavein conditioner do i just put it on everyday? what is HTH? Where would i get this wild growth old and parnevu? Where could i get a silk scrap? would i have to go to a ethnic hair store to get these products? What i have notice is the side i lay on the most is where it breaks off.

Hey peeps, I think if you hair is damaged and keeps breaking(all this is just my opinion) wash and condition every 3 or 4 days and leave your con on for 30 to and hour. Deep con you hair every 3 weeks, sit under a hooded dryer for about 15-20 min. Use a leave in con every time you wash and con.Hot oil treatments once a month.Use clarifying sham once a moth so you won't have build up on you scalp. f Moisturize hair daily or every other day( my favorite is ors olive oil lotion)Where protective styles like rollerset and phony ponytail or buns. You can get everything you need from a beauty supply store or on line.(some ingredients I use is Motions CPR sham anti- breakage , Motions CPR anti-breakage, Motion neutralizing sham to clarify,ors mayo) Motion products is not for everyone but it worked for me!!! I think I might change products now my hair is more healthier. ORS products sounds good and please get some wild growth oil. Good luck

Hey lil, I would suggest washing at least once a week and using the leave-in con everyday sealing it with oil each time. You can find Wild growth oil at Sally's Beauty supply for $7.99 (a little goes a long way) and Parnevu t-tree oil in applicator bottle at Wal-mart. You can get a silk wrap at any beauty supply store or even the Family Dollar store. I suggest alternating the direction you wrap your hair every night to stop that breakage on one side. HTH= hope this helps :-)
