First I'd like to say--what an amazing place this is!!
I'm so happy to be here, and to be learning so much about what is possible with my hair and my daughter's hair.
I am open to any/all suggestions, recipies, vitamin regimes, etc.
I've been told that I've been blessed with "good hair" whatever that means. I know that between my sisters and myself I can go 3-4 wks longer than them before needing a re-touch. Looking at the hair type scale on this site I'd say my type is a cross between a 3b and 4a.
My length is currently 10-11 inches from the crown, just laying on my shoulders. I've worn my hair very short and natural, braided, and in the relaxed bob style I have now.
In May I had major surgery and prior to surgery had given myself a quick touch up. I experienced a lot of hair loss/breakage from either the relaxer or the anesthesia. It was not severe enough to require a major cut, but I have had to becareful of ponytail styles while my broken areas grow back. They are at about 2.5 inches now.
I had been hesitent to re-touch again, but have sucessfully done one with no issues. I never relax bone straight...the bit of wave is taken care of with a flat iron.
The Daily Washing thread and the L'Oreal thread have caught my inital attention. I've used L'Oreal Keritasse as a conditioner since my hair loss situation--but $35 for 4oz is spendy for me. It's a GREAT product, and I'd really recommend it for emergency or special occasions, your hair feels like silk after using it.
I'd like to try daily or 3-4x a week co-washing, but to have to wear my hair in a ponytail or up in a french roll everyday, I guess I feel like that's defeating the purpose.
all suggestions are welcome....thank you in advance!!
