thanks..heck, i thought no one would reply to this post! thank you very much..my problem is i work in the O.R and sweat, work out, ride motorcycles..the up do doesn't seem to work too well in a helmet or doing a #185 bench press..i'm finding that just keeping it down and in a scarf really helps, especially underneath those bouffant hats that are made of cotton nylon...
I've seen on a few posts that it's okay to flat iron the hair (if you absolutely have to, at least once or twice a week)...twice a week for me, is really pushing it...and then there are a few here that are so lucky where they can do this everyday...
I agree, i can not say enough about moisturizing..I learned to do this twice a day (5:00 a.m. in the morning), and right before going to bed, and cap it off with a silk exilir strengthening creme..i am so grateful for you guys on this forum, because i had no idea the first few weeks on how to take care of "my" hair.. I've made a few mistakes and it has cost me some breakage. I was using a flat iron without a heat protectant, and had no idea about deep conditioning...this is still, no where near as much breakage when beauticians were "experimenting" with different extension methods.
After coming out of wearing weaves for a few years, I feel as if i'm taking "baby steps" on keeping my hair healthy..it's long, but fragile...I also have a problem with up-do's because i have a big head...or that's i think anyway...
you have been a big help, and i thank you!
