I feel depressed so I need to buy some more hair and body stuff.
Five cars were broken into in the school parking lot where I teach and one of them was mine. An elementary school parking lot. What a shame.
That is so not cool! Hopefully nothing irreplaceable was taken from your car.

MileHighDiva,
Short version: Lack of adequate protein & mechanical damage coupled with little to no protective styling led to damage that compounded.
Long Version: I have dense hair with fine strands that absolutely require regular use of light and hardcore protein treatments. In November I ran out of my Aphogee 2 Step Treatment & my Nutress protein packs & decided to utilize homemade gelatin based protein treatments. I cycled the homemade treatment & my Aphogee Two Minute conditioner November & December && have skipped out on hardcore protein treatments this year out of sheer laziness & only did one light protein trmt. (despite having repurchased my staples at the top of the year)
p.s. The homemade gelatin treatment is not strong enough to be considered a hard core trmt imo, even though that what it was touted as.
My second major faux pas was wearing my hair out all fall & winter; I almost always go into a set of braids or twists come cold weather just to give my hair reprieve from manipulation & frigid temps for at least six weeks. This winter I've been doing so many other people's heads that I had no desire to fuss with mine so all I've done primarily are bun & flat iron.
Beyond that I have been straightening more often & not buffering the flat ironing with regular protein usage && I've been washing my hair too frequently.

Are these people paying you? Your precious locks come first! You have to put yourself and your hair first.
I'm happy you already know what happened and how to reset your hair's health and retention.
You know that you're supposed to re-up when you only have 1/4th of a container/bottle left.
I'm jelly that you have high density hair. Also, now I know not to ever mess with any of those gelatin recipes. My hair's on a high protein diet as well.
