If you suffer from ultra dry hair and/or breakage try this..........
I have been suffering breakage for too long and deep conditioning wasn't doing the trick. So, i thought my hair needed protein. It was still no better but getting worse.
I have 3c/4a hair which visually looks soft yet my new growth feels like a brillo pad - rough and dry. What was i doing wrong. I mean i'm slapping a ton of conditioner on my hair, using moisturiser until my hair was a greasy mess, sealing with oil, only roller setting......still at every wash i had a handfull of hair and my hair line looks bad.
Until i watched Lorraine S's You Tube video. She applied her pre-poo like a relaxer.....
Small parts, pasting onto the new growth and all down the length of her hair.
I did this with my regular Queen Helene cholesterol conditioner (as this is thick) with added Olive Oil. It took me about 15 minutes using my fingers. As i was going over my head i noticed the front looked like i hadn't put any condish on it. My poor hair was thirsty. I pasted my whole head down including the length of my hair with conditioner. I then put on the plastic cap and did my work-out for 30 minutes and then rinsed.
For the first time in months only a few hairs were in the drain. My hair was sooo soft.
I shampoo'd once with cream of nature and then applied my condish in the same way but not as methodically. Sat under the hooded drier and rinsed.
Very little hair in the shower drain. I am shocked.
I rollerset with a fine tooth comb for the first time. Just a few hairs in the comb.
I thought slapping a load of condish in my hair was sufficient but clearly i wasn't getting to my roots and thats where my hair is breaking.

SistaSlick said once that if you do ever consider it, you could apply the conditioner as if it were a relaxer, to practice not overlapping and timing.
