Fix it mode after a set back

[Lylddlebit]

Man I have been really enjoying my hair lately I reached my goal cut my hair as I pleased and still kept bsl. I was good with that, then today I let someone jack me up at the shop ripping through my hair like it's going to make theirs grow. I made her stop but the damage was done. I ended up having to get a haircut anyway back to apl to make all the breakage she caused look decent. Now I get it, hair grows back and mine will but apl is that length that I have to absolutely nothing to get, I am not supposed to be back here now that I do all the hair care stuff. However that is done and over with. I'm in fix it mode: I stopped at the hair supply got some hair for braids and a ponytails, got some OCT, and other deep conditioners. It took 6 months to reach the goal the first time, I will have it again... How did you all bounce back after a set back?

Try not to let it stress you, I don't know where you live but since its almost winter, hide/protect your hair and let it do its thing (grow) and before you know it 6 months will quickly pass and you'll be back at bsl again by summertime.

What did she do to your hair to cause such damage?? Couldn't you have stopped her before?

This happened to me... Twice. The 1st time I was quiet b/c I thought it was just me (super tender-headed). Shame on me!

The 2nd time I was rather vocal. It's left my hair thinner and like... The ends are really messed up. They look like "cones" pointing downward instead of a straight across "block," if that makes any sense. I didn't see the full damage until about 2 weeks ago (weave take-down).

I've started using sulfur (thanks NJoy!), which seems to be helping. I'll start eating Nori seaweed, again, too. I'll continue to take vitamins, eat well, exercise, water my hair, drink lots o water, and think positively.

Can't wait to see your comeback!

I can't wait to see your as well! You have a solid plan that I'm sure will work well for you.

Lylddlebit braids sound like a good idea. I'm sure your hair will be repaired in a few months.

she ripped it from my scalp and broke 2 large chunks out of my hair causing my ends(which had been trimmed to perfection in october) to be raggedy and brittle, two swipes. Believe me I have been thinking about all the things I could have and should have done and things like detangling myself, demonstrating to her my method, doing my research before sitting in her chair and stopping when I noticed disaster were all done today. What would u recommend for me to have done to have stopped her before I felt the breakage?

Well at least u stopped her or you might be NL! I just cut my damaged hair off, kept it in braids under a wig and reached my original lenght in about 9 mnths.
