Hey ladies...I started my journey to healthier hair in July BUT over the last 5 months my hair has taken a drastic turn for the worse. I haven't had a relaxer since 7/20 it was supposed to be just a 12 wk stretch but school started kicking my arse so my hair fell by the wayside...well tub, sink, bathroom floor...u get the picture... My shoulder length hair is breaking something terrible and I need HELP! Any and all suggestions are welcome I'll try and post some pics of my top and edges later.
HELP!!! MAJOR BREAKAGE

first, what's your regimen?
do you use heat?
do you moisturize daily?

I agree with what Tylertown said!
My regimen when consistent is co-wash 2x a week deep condition on Fri w/heat...moisturize daily with Kids Organic Shea butter or s-curl and wear a ponytail daily...I blow dry and flat iron maybe once every 3 months. My moisturizing has been lacking and I can't remeber the last time I did a protein treatment.

It sounds like u are probably getting breakage at the line of demarcation and need to relax...but strengthen it up first with a protein treatment and some deep conditioning before u do. Ppl can have success stretching for long periods, but they have to be extra gentle and attentive with their hair and monitor it closely. Trust me Ive been there and I know the big difference between stretching out of laziness and stretching on purpose and taking the appropriate measures to retain growth/prevent breakage. You definitely cant just not bother with your hair when its in that state or u will suffer the consequences!
