I have attended many science symposium seminars where one would meet scientists, chemists and doctors. In addition, I studied Trichoanalysis, where I can make my own microscopic observation. And since I specialize in all methods of permanent hair straightening, I wanted to learn and educate myself about the effects of major salon services. This information would enable me to see whether the hair is incompetent due to hereditary, systematic, medical or a combination of factors and therefore it will indicate to me whether it is safe for the client to receive a major salon service, such as perms and TR. However, I do not involve myself or go into details with the issues you’re having, but Shary asked me to reply to your post.
First, you did not mention anything about getting your hair chemically straightened, so I am assuming your situation is not the result of botched chemical hair straightening issue.
Second, I am not sure if you’re using hot irons, but if you do, keep in mind, if the heat is too high or is applied for too long at the root, you will permanently alter the hair—that means hair that’s coarse, weird and confused. If the heat is very high it will change the external hair fiber without a doubt.
To find the real culprit, you need to Pause and Rewind and then go back 9 months and perhaps a bit more than 9 months to find out as to why the texture of your hair had become thick and your red hair had grown very deep red color.
Certain systematic conditions and medication have known influence on the structural competency of the hair and may alter the hair’s cosmetic condition. In some cases, results can be attributed to specific causes.
So as I said earlier, think back and think of everything and perhaps the answer will pop up to you! For example, have you had cortisone shots or used cortisone crème medication on your scalp? Any type of radiation therapy, laser, Tanning salons, X-rays in hospitals and in Dental Clinics, Sun exposure? Do you epilate your hair? What about Trichotillomania, also known as hair pulling or the compulsion to pull out one’s own hair. It is found in very tense and nervous children and in some cases, will persist into adulthood. And remember, when hair turns grey its texture changes along with its color.
I am not saying that these are the main culprits, I am just saying, retrieve this information one by one and then visit your medical Doctor and discuss this with him/her. Your family physician may recommend you to see a Dermatologist. But Doctors and Dermatologists are not miracle workers. Perhaps if you give them a detailed history, they may be able to help you better, but you need to give them a lead of all the things that had happened and the things you did over the past year.
Keep in mind, Red hair is usually significantly thicker than the hair of people of European descent with other hair colors. People with red hair often have different colored hair at different times of their life. It seems that it is more likely to be red in childhood or in early adult life, than in later life.
Hope this helps.
