Hey ladies, I’m in need of some advice on my HHJ. I have only two questions:
1.) How much breakage is too much?
2.) Are the wispy 2-3inch hairs also breakage??
My story: Yesterday, during my wash routine I counted 9 small pieces of broken hairs. In addition, I noticed a lot of wispy small pieces of hair that are 2-3 inches in length and that appear to be smaller in diameter than my regular shed hair (they are definitely lighter in color and don’t look as thick as the others). Most of the small little 9 pieces broke off when I detangled with my shower comb (about 6 of them). I have 4 a/b natural hair that I usually wash every 7-10 days. On wash days, I detangle, wash and condition. On those days I usually either deep condition or do a pre-poo treatment. I only wear my hair in 2strand twists that I try to moisturize every other day, but sometimes ends up every 2 days. And I wear these twists in a bun. I don’t remember the last time I trimmed my hair. Maybe a year ago. I was trying not to trim my hair and wasn’t sure if I should go ahead and do that.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a bathroom tub where I can remove the stopper, therefore, I try to collect as much of the shed hair as possible so the sink doesn’t get stopped up. So, that’s how I am able to see what’s dropping off my head!
So, is there reason to be concerned with 9 pieces of breakage?? I hardly notice any during the week. If I do it is about 2 max for the week. And, are those small wispy pieces also breakage too? And, if so, what should I do to curb this problem?? I feel like I am following all of the “rules”.
Any ideas will be much appreciated because I get so disheartened when I see these hairs, especially when I work so hard to grow my hair!!
