Okay so I used hair relaxer on my shoulder length hair and after I had it on for only a minute my hair starts all coming out in clumps and just breaking all off...thank God it was only the ends mostly that were affected but now my hair is loveed just when it was getting healthy again...
I got my hair cut about 2 inches now and I also got a hair recovery treatment done. However, my hair is still kinda shootty but does feel a lot nicer and the ends aren't looking all burnt off.. I planned on dying my hair at the end of August but I don't know about doing it anymore...what do u think? My hair is now about chin length. I went from shoulder-length hair to chin length hair ALL OVER A STUPID $4 BOX OF HAIR RELAXER :( So as the ends and some of my hair is still looking shootty and feeling rough, do you think I should cut more off? I really don't want to... and also, does anyone know if deep conditioning will help?? Do you think the damage will travel up to my newer, not damaged hair? Or am I loveed? I really want to save this hair somehow... :(I feel like I'm gonna cry. My hair is messy and I have some condition crap in it Also you can see my roots a lot and my hair is a shootty color... do you think I can dye it by the end of August before I go back to school? I hate it! http://i38.tinypic.com/6tfyas.jpg http://i37.tinypic.com/2h6dnrr.jpg

OK, I had to answer you and tell you don't give up! I can totally relate to broken off hair after I used highlift, bleach and double 40 vol. on my hair in one session!  Yeah, stupid!
Well, a whole bunch of my hair broke off -- that was a year ago February. I immediately started doing deep PROTEIN treatments. That has helped my hair tremendously! If you do protein treatments (eg. Nexxus Emergencee or Aphogee Treatment for Damaged Hair) every week, followed by a deep moisturizing treatment (eg. Redken All Soft), your hair will get stronger and appear healthier. Of course, nothing can FIX damaged hair, but you can keep your hair on your head until it grows out and it will fool people into thinking it's healthy hair!
I currently wear extensions as well (do-it-myself tape and clip-ins) which give my hair a rest and allow me to do my treatments faithfully. You don't have to cut off your hair. You DO need to treat it like fragile lace though. Try to avoid a lot of manipulation, like flat irons and curlers. Only do them AFTER you have done a deep conditioning; never on dirty hair.
Good luck! ------------- Love clip-ins and tape! |
