Wow, do I know how you feel?! I had the same problem as you...it probably isn`t what you want to hear, but there isn`t any way to save the damaged hair. You have to cut it off and take real good care of what new growth you already have (condition, condition, condition - and no more damaging processes like blow-drying and stuff) and maybe get braids if you don`t want to go really short. All I know is, you`ll feel even worse if you hang on to the damaged hair than if you just get rid of it. As for hair loss, try Nioxin - I haven`t tried it myself, but I`ve heard good things about it. And emu oil and MSM supplements are supposed to be good for that, too. Another thing you could do is wear a silk scarf as a head wrap - that`ll protect your hair and look stylish too! I`m out of ideas for now, but think positive and your hair will be OK in no time. Oh yeah, and have patience... ------------- |
