To my (admittedly untrained) eye, your hair is beautiful!
I have some hidden hair loss in the crown area. I have hair sprouting back in that area, and when my hair is flat ironed, it’s easy to cover.
I have done a lot of things to my hair, but I manage to keep it on my head for the most part. I deep condition like crazy.
I bleached my hair last year when I was natural. Once I decided to go back to a relaxer, I used a demi permanent color, but it didn’t take very well. I have also switched from lye to no lye. The last straw was when I used a smoothing system that caused irritation and made my hair fall out in the crown area. It also left some weird coating. Since I wash my hair a lot, I was able to get that removed. Oh and I had to get a water filter since the water here was causing major dryness and making my hair porous. I told her all of this and she was like we need to cut it. I have never been attached to hair, but I don’t see why I need a drastic cut?
I know stylists don’t like to have to deal with and baby somebody else’s mistakes and they like their work to look a certain way. I’m just not ready.
