I really don't know where to start. For the past 4-5 years, I have kept my hair in individual braids, nothing too tight or in for too long, but I never took proper care of them. I would leave them in for 2 months, take them out and self-relax, take a 4-5 day break, and get them again. My hectic school schedule would not allow for me to properly take care of my hair (not a real excuse, but it is what it is), and now it is incredibly dry and very brittle. I currently have braids and will be taking them out in three weeks time, but I am determined to end my dependence on them and start properly taking care of my hair.
I would appreciate any advice on where to start once I take them out. I know I will have to relax my hair afterwards because the ng and shedding is just too unruly, so I would like a "safe" relaxer to use. I figure that I will have to use a deep conditioner and reconstructer. I just want to start stocking up now so I don't have to purchase it all in one weekend.
Protective styles, supplements, regimen and product suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! I am willing to try (and spend, I guess ) anything. Oh, and I am a type 4A with about MBL which will probably be SL by the time everything sheds and breaks off
Thanks in advance!!
