What's causing the breakage? Are you braiding or twisting too tight.

For the last 6 weeks I've been keeping my hair in a puff. And moisturizing every other day.

Could what you using to hold puff be to tight? Could you possibly switch it up and wear hair loose. When you say you wore a puff for six weeks did you wash/cowash/water rinse during that time? What are you using to moisturize?

I got this from you! It really is amazing. I'm about due for another treatment before I install these box braids.

I've been transitioning for over a year. After going through a bunch of products, the ones that stand out to me are:
Shea Moisture's 10 in one mask
Beautiful Textures curl mouse
Camille Rose's Jai almond twisting butter and moisture milk.
Not impressed with Ouidad's products at all to justify the price.
My hair is 3c with 4a in the back I think.

My mom was marveling at my twist out yesterday. She couldn't believe that I did it myself lol.
The guy likes when I do twist outs too but I think he's more impressed with the fact that I have a head full of hair and it's not weave lol.

maybe you can look into getting a hair analysis by Komaza. It can probably help to pinpoint what possible issues you may have.

Maybe you should try the Komaza Analysis. There are alot of women on this board that have seen their hair thrive based on the recommendations from that analysis.

Thanks @flyygirlll2 @julzinha. I've seen some of the posts on the hair analysis and even use Komaza Protein conditioner. I guess I'm afraid they will say I need to cut it all off and start over. I'll give it some thought though.

Folks compliment my hair left and right. It's funny because shrinkage annoys me but it is what it is. There is no way around it.
I pulled a piece down at work and everyone was astounded. I just don't feel the need to straighten it. It sounds nice but the work. Nah, I'm good.
I'm debating kinky twists or crochet braids in October. Not sure if it's going to work out with the baby coming or not.

This all day long. The year I was completely natural I got my hair straightened once and knew that if I stayed natural my hair would most likely never, ever be straight again. It just seemed like too much work for something that could so easily and naturally be undone.

Taking I'm taking my braids down today. Relieved I was always tugging my hair a little and I'm very gentle to my hair. Even if I did a loose behind ponytail. It was always one braid that felt like it was too tight. But the ponytail was so loose it was baggy. My man was suppose to help me last night but we both was sleepy. So I will be watching tv and casually taking then out. Good thing they are big.

I will be detangling each section as I take a braid out to make it easy and moisturizing each section and parting it into 4 and preparing to wash. I'm wondering should I clarify. But I will be relaxing and clarifying next week after I relax so. But I have been using that braid spray every day twice a day and it has cones in it.

Going to wear a bun . Can't do anything curly any way, so it will be easy to tell natural from relaxed hair

I got so many compliments last week about my hair. I don't see why. It was in a high puff.

My head feels so much lighter and no more pulling of my hair at the root with those braids. It took me About 3 hrs to do my hair. About to wash and deep condition. I will be clarifying because I notice when putting moisturizer on my hair and detangling certain parts, it just sits on top of my hair. Not surprised when the braid spray had cones in it and sprayed my hair down at least 60 times in that month.

I have mentioned before that every time I stretch my relaxers, I always feel my ends look super thin, but I guess it's because of the comparison from the new growth to the ends that makes it look thin and that fact that hair doesn't grow even all the way around but I'm still freaking out being that I just took these braids out. But every time I relax, my ends are fine.

The parts that I put pomade and gel was matted and I was gently separating it but still pulled out plugs of hair. I hope it doesn't show

I knew It was too good to be true. My hair feels really thin right now but It could be because I have a lot of new growth and comparing it to the length make it look rather thin. Hopefully. ... I'm panicking right now. But usually when I stretch I always say my ends look thin but I clarified the two front sections and my new growth matted so bad, so I know it's breakage in there. Learned my lesson, not to clarify that much new growth. Hopefully I'm ok. I will find out next week when I relax
