Feel better, SpicedTee! Your hair is shorter because you cut the color out, but you should retain length better without it. Don't stop Surging or taking supplements.
In your position, I would wear braids until the hair was long enough for a bun. That way you could forego daily styling.

You are right. I did cut the color out, I was just so disappointed that I was still getting crazy breakage. Braids are an excellent idea. I need to check out the crown and glory technique.

Okay Ladies....I am a good student because I am listening very closely. Last night I done a conditioner only wash, then deep conditioned with Olive Oil. I then roller set on small magnetic rollers and let dry over night. So today I feel sooooo much better. I gave away my ceramic flat iron too. I am heading out to Home Depot to at least get a shower filter until I can shop around for the whole house water softener. That way I can start to benefit right away. I am heading out to find coconut oil, a moisturizing conditioner, a milder shampoo, and some cute little hair accessories. Thank God, I feel like there is some light at the end of this tunnel and it's not an oncoming train! Here is the pic I took this morning of the roller set.

spicedtee, sorry that you're having problems with breakage, but i gotta say your hair looks really cute in the latest pic! it's great that you found a cute, no heat style that you can rock on the regular.
i got to this thread late, but i see that you're heeding all the great advice that's been given. i also would stop washing twice a week (too much manipulation). i'd do conditioner washes some of the time. i'd find a good moisturizer that your hair likes. i recommend Elasta QP Recovery. last, i think you should give the braids or cornrows another try. i know you said you had a disaster with the cornrows, but it was really with the braider, right? there are others out there!
good luck! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I'm sorry to hear about your situation but to get past that point you could maybe try some braids or cornrows for a while.

I moved to a much drier climate last year from the south and my first winter here tore up my hair and skin, then I started taking a tablespoon of flaxseed oil daily( I usually whip it up in my protien shakes or mix it in with my veggies right before I eat them). In addition to the external things, give this a try. It is wonderful for an internal fix along with vitamins and drinking more water and eating well. Hope you get your hair where you want it to be soon!
