After last weeks breakage extravaganza lol Im relieved to say that its stopped and i think the teeny tiny trim helped alot! i was set back about a quarter of an inch on the sides and front and i trimmed a good half inch in the back cuz those ends were looking torn up ,, anyway i was wondering becuz i had used V05 hot oil for the 2 weeks that i had that yucky breakage and do u think that could have been a cause , Im phobic of that stuff now!! also i laid off the Emergencee and used K-pak which is gentler and it strengthened without drying my hair and causing breakage... ------------- 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! I am hair OBSESSED |

Oh no, I think it could've been the VO5. Did you happen to read the ingredients? Most of the time store bought hot oil treatments such as Suave, Tresseme, V05....etc. have other things added to it that aren't pure oils. I used a Suave hot oil treatment years ago because I didn't know any better and that thing left my hair so dry! My hair had never been that dry. I've been scared of hot oil treatments ever since then. I think if you were to ever do a hot oil treatment again you should use some pure oils like olive, jojoba, shea butter....etc. I'm going to try one using castor oil soon. Glad to hear your hair is back on track though! ------------- |

| That's funny, I don't think Id ever felt any dryness while using VO5 Hot Oil. I usually don't get any effects, but I think I'm more safe than sorry using it. I used Essential Oils for a hot oil treatment and my hair was pretty soft.. I enjoyed it thorougly. Better than Vo5, however, I don't think I'll loose all hope in it yet! |

hmmm, i dunno ,, it may have been a protein overload in part due to the hot oil ,,, when i read reviews on makeupalley.com for the v05 hot oil,, i must say they were AWFUL,, most people complained of dryness,, and Pokahantas you are so right ,, there actually is NO real oil in the v05 hot oil though the ingredients still do not look bad,, ------------- 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!
