Help...what happened???!!! OK. Now......I was so enthused about trying the baggie method due to the raves I've read so much about. I actually tried it appx. 3-4 times and my hair does NOT love it ya'll!! I applied a leave-in conditioner (Parnevu for dry hair- which is fine when applied to my hair daily as a light cond.) mixed w/ EVOO. Is this not the right combination? Should I be trying something else? Or is the baggie method just not right for me? Maybe this is too much conditioning for my hair?? What do you guys think? Has anyone else a problem w/ the baggie method? If so what problems or is it just me doing something wrong??!! NOW, what the heck do I do to rectify the problem. I now need help to reverse the damage done to my ends! Suggestions Please!! ------------- ~~  LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE!~~

My ends came out worse than before --they were dry, brittle and now seems to be actually breaking more than before!! My ends need serious help. But know I have to go back and repair damage seemingly done from what was supposed to be the solution!

When i first cut all of my perm out, i used parnevue daily and it worked well, but as my hair grew longer, it no longer worked anymore so i started using aussie conditioners. I still use those along with a great conditioner(i got 60 bottles) on e-bay. From time to time i also use some dominican shampoos and conditioners. i use shapley's m-t-g, unrefined shea butter, shealoe butter or organic hair butter. I apply it to my scalp and hair at nite and then put a thin, plastic cap over my head and go to sleep. I do a co wash in the a.m. ------------- Me and you, your cousin and your momma too rollin on da strip on bow's |

It could be the oil, I think if u use hair butters and conditioners on your ends it will work with the baggie method. Sometimes, oils can make your hair hard and crunchy feeling, unless u use just a dab of oil and more moisturizer than oil. ------------- Natural BC May 9, 2004 |

| The baggie method doesnt work for me either. I think it depends on hair type. I had the most amount of breakage ever everytime i tried it. All i got was dry, brittle hair. You can keep on trying..... |

Thanks guys for your responses!!! Maybe it was the Parnevu, but I'd never had a problem w/using it before. I dont know. Maybe this baggie method just doesn't work for me. ~TIA~

Carameldiva, how does the hair butters work for relaxed hair? I may try the conditioner instead, but afraid that may not work either and I don't want to cause my hair to get any more brittle or drier than it's gotten. Renee, how did you combat the breakage after trying this? Any particular products you used that helped at all?

| i remember slathering it with my conditioner (humectress) and then doing a protein treatment the next day. |

Hey Browneyez2, I'm sorry it didn't work for you If you try other options with the baggie and you still don't like it, go with what you know works for your hair. I hope this helps some. ------------- http://public.fotki.com/Honeydoo pw: bombay |

Browneyez2, unfortunately i wouldn't know how hair butters work for relaxed hair- some say that it works well for them and others it doesn't. I guess it kinda depends on whether your hair reacts well to oils or to butters. ------------- Me and you, your cousin and your momma too rollin on da strip on bow's |

i agree with honeydoo. a lot of people love castor oil and ive also discovered it these past few days..... try mixing with either olive, jojoba, or coconut oil. What i do, i mix it with every kind of oil i have and apply on my ends.... |

Try doing protein treatments every two weeks for the breakage. When I grew out my relaxer I had a lot of breakage and protein treatments are the only thing that got me through. Some good ones are cholesterol plus and the Ion protein packs. I use just about any kind of protein packs because protein is what you need to strengthen your ends. Just slather it on after you shampoo and sit under the dryer with a plastic cap for about 15 to twenty minutes. Rinse out and don't forget to condition again with a regular conditioner like pantene, dove, finesse or whatever you like. I found this really makes a difference. My hair is now past the middle of my back to the top of my waist. Hope this helps!
