Hello eveyone, I'm new and I don't know much about hair, so bare with me if I sound like an idiot. I have had relaxed hair since I was about 16, and I typicall go about 3-4 months in between touch ups. About a year ago, I stopped going to my regular hairstylist because she took too long, talked too much and it was beginning to be way too much of a hassle to get my hair done, so I started visiting a Dominican hair salon for wash and sets. And then eventually I let this woman relax my hair. She only relaxed my hair twice, but I think she has overprocessed my hair by overlapping the relaxer.
When I try to reflect back I do remember my hair being extremely straight, but I just assumed that it was the relaxer, that is the reason that I relax, to get my hair straight. Anyway, it wasn't until recently when after five months my hair was still straight and it was also shedding that I realized something was wrong!!!! There was no texture, just straight, limp, brittle at the ends hair. So I humbled myself and went back to my previous hairstylist to get a diagnosis, and much to her delight she scolded me for leaving and then told me that my hair was overprocessesd. She was not highly optimistic in the prognosis. She said that I needed protein treatments and regular trims.
My question to anyone who wil answer is, Can I restore my hair back to healthy state with her recommended regimen? or am I stuck with this thin, straight, damaged hair forever? Right now, it is shoulder length, it used to be about 3 inches longer. Should I chop it off to about my chin, will that speed up the repair process?
HELP!!!!!!
