When the hair reaches a certain length, it becomes very dry and brittle and breaks off, leaving bald patches. Chemical straightening hasn't worked and she has tried various hair creams and lotions specifically designed for curly hair with no success. This situation is very embarassing for her daughter and any help would be greatly appreciated. Jessica Replies:
