This week I did the usual thing to my hair except for 2 weeks now i/ve been washing with CON clarifying,, its not drying at all( iuse alot ofproduct) I washed with CON then with NTM and then applied Emergencee as usual then shampooed with NTM then NTM mask for about an hour and I notice that my breakage has really really decreased and my hair is unbelievably soft and strong,,Im thinking its becuz I didnt use any heat since the day after the wash and have been just wearing it with a sort of back flip in the front and sides,,this method needs NO heat!! which i love,, i simply sleep in a mini bun( front and top pulled back) and the rest of my hair in a bun and when i take down the mini bun its straight at the roots but theres a big body wave down at the ends and NO NEED for a flat iron(except a quick once over in the back), gosh im so relieved that i really dont need that iron daily anymore,, and i was noticing that when i did use it daily my hair would get this odd"roughed up" appearance, prolly cuz the cuticle was opening up..... ------------- Hair type: 3b some c?, fine strands, last relaxer sept 05, never again!!! current :ap length on sides,,nearly bsl in back, damn those old frazzled ends!

That's great. Your hair will really benefit from using less heat. That's what I'm gonna start doing again because when I stopped using heat last summer my hair got so healthy and lately I've been flat ironing every two weeks so I will give my hair a break. I started noticing more split ends when I started back flat ironing also so now I need a trim. I haven't had a trim since September so I'm due for one anyway. Do you have pics of your no heat style? What did you do with it after you shampoo'd? For my no heat style I think I'm gonna shampoo and then wrap it and sit under the dryer until it's mostly dry. I will still have to blow dry just a little though and then I'm gonna put it in about 8 big braids so it will come out with big waves. ------------- |

| Help. My hair is falling out. In long strands. I had surgery in August. I then started taking Singulair for allergies. I read articles about the singulair. I stopped taking the singulair. I now have broke peices of hair throughout. My stylist flat irons me and she swears that flat ironing will not hurt it. Everyone else thinks she should roller set me. What do I need to do. what produts? What will stop it from shedding/falling out. |

Oh okay, I see what you're saying. I was thinking you meant that you wern't using heat at all. That is still a great improvement, to go from everyday to once a week. Your hair will benefit greatly. ------------- |

I agree, you should ask for a roller set until your hair stop breaking bu your hair could be breaking because of the medication ------------- 4b-natural,shoulder blade length,hair goal of to my bra strap
