I'm 19 and when i was younger like 5-8 or 9 yrs ago i used alot of gel and hair spray on my hair everyday but washed it everyday then bout 7 or 8 mts ago i used a heat activaed hair straightner the kind u clamp on ur hiar and pull it striaght..im tryin to grow my hair long but hve a natural wave in it and everytime it gets to like ym eyes its flips up and waves forward so i used teh straighernr to get rid of that..i used it everyday for like 2 or 3 weeks..then i relized how stupid i was bein and quit usin it totally well my hair got pretty thin and its improved somewhat over the monthsand ive got enuff hair cuts where all the ahir i damaged shouldve got cut off by now and its imporvbed a lil over the months.
My question is i used to abuse my hair and really did with that damn thing will i lose my hair soon cuz of how bad i treated it all these yrs,? I quit washin it everyday i wash it like every otehr day now or go like 2 days wihtout washin it and i quit using spray on it cuz i relaized how bad i treated it and started to wise up..my grandma told me it'll take a yr at least to totally fix itself..is she right? Will my hair get back to the way it was b4 i did al this?
Im worried about this terribly do I have any reason to be? My hair doesnt look bad at all..but i do have alot of flyawatys and pieces that are shorted then the l,onger pieces im guessin its cuz of how bad i damamged it..whave i totally screwed myself? My babrber told me when i went in for a trim a few weeks ago my hair isnt thinnin at all on the top but ic ant ell a difference in it then what it was say a year ago at this time..Ive started to take B-Complex vitamins and ultra mega mutilvitmains each day..somrehting i never did b4 ..will this help? Do I have anyting 2 worry bout?
