If every time you comb your hair or if you always see short broken hairs in the sink and on your clothes....
I hope and pray that this is not your case.
Ask the stylist whatever you want!!

g.lo
You are welcome. I love your siggy!!
It is possible for no breakage while detangling. However because of the characteristics of hair breakage can not be completely stopped forever.
A trick I use is to detangle in 8-10 sections and go slow. Use a detangling spray. After you finish detangling twist the hair back into the sections. The smaller the section the easier the detangling will be.
Have you tried detangling under running water with conditioner in the shower?

IKR. I tend to lean toward mild proteins on a more regular basis( around ever 8 to 12 weeks) than a harder protein when problems arise.
I like products with silk proteins and keratin proteins in them. They work really well for maintaining the protein moisture balance.
My favorite is Joico K Pak reconstructor.

I have notice lately a few of my hair strands appear to resemble a circle in the middle after poo and con. I clip it off.
What can I do to prevent this from occurring?

I resembles the incomplete split. Hmmmm so all of these are considered a split in the hair.

Thanks. I don't shampoo too frequently, just every 7-10 days. My scalp is sensitive, it hates to be oiled! I have dermatitis (body& scalp) but I'm open to new ideas. I'll try some of your suggestions and will be picking up the Keracare shampoo.

TIA.
Can frequent steaming sessions replace the need to moisturize and seal?

Thank you for this thread.
1.I have tried to do roller sets, flexirod, rod sets, curlformers. But sometimes, the roots arent straight or with the curlformers it reverted the next day. What is a good product to use that has some hold to it so it wont revert. Also how do i get that crisp look with no puffiness at the roots?
2. What is a good detangling spray? my hair tangles easy.
3. you answered this question already about accepting clients who don't wear weave cant wait.
4. What are some good products to use when you are using a steamer?
5. If used to have my hair set on the big magnetic rollers when i had a relaxer for more body. Is there a way to acheive this look without blowdrying my hair straight with a blowdryer to use less heat. If so what product would help me achieve this look and what size rollers would i need. I am scared of heat damage because i had to get 3 inches cut off due to heat damage. my hair is a little past arm pit when straightened but i have alot of shrinkage when natural it is a little above my shoulders.
Thank you in advance

Sure! I post my results of my monthly straightening sessions in the Straight Hair Natural's thread. I will tag you when I do. I normally straighten at the beginning of each month....maybe the 1st or no later than the 2nd week for sure.
I purchased the flat iron brand new from Amazon for $75. Free shipping from seller: Bright Future technology. It was shipped the day after I purchased it.

I wash every week to every 2 weeks depending on my style. I flat iron once a month. I do Twist outs and bantu knot outs. I deep condition every time with Olive Oil Deep Replenishing. I wash with Elasta Qp conditioning creme and condition with Mane & Tail. When I flat iron my hair I detangle in sections and blowdry and flat iron in sections. I rarely wear it down. I usually put it in a bun or do a halo braid. I do sew ins every once in a while for a few weeks whenever I have the money to do so. I rarely do wash n gos b/c of tangling. My hair is VERY tangly. I guess b/c its fine, curly and dense. WHich is why i only trust A couple people to do my hair. It can be time consuming and frustrating for the average stylist to straighten.
Is this one comparable to the one listed above?

I understand the need for 4c hair. It is really hard to keep it moisturized. 4c hair tends to be the tightest coiled and spongiest hair and because of it's makeup it just keeps soaking everything up.
To determine if your hair is properly moisturized do a strand test. Fill a cup up with water and put a strand of hair in. If it floats on the top then your hair has enough moisture. If it sinks then you need to up your moisture game.
Don't steam so much that your hair become mushy or if you stretch the stands they don't snap back into the original length. You should try it for a while but I wouldn't suggest doing this on a long term basis. Maybe do 2-3 in a row and see if that helps with the problem.

There are a couple of things that come to mind.
Overprocessing and your styling tools.
Make sure than when your hair is being relaxed that it is not left on too long and the the relaxer is not being overlapped.
Combs and brushes can cause splits if they have sharp edges or seams so be careful with those and make sure they are smooth through and through.

Generally when clients have severe scalp conditions I ask them have they been to a dermatologists?
I apologize but I don't have any recommendations for you.
I have had some clients bring in medicated shampoo that their dermatologists prescribe to them and I would use it on their scalp prior to the regular shampoo. Those shampoos can be drying. If I am not mistaken tar is one of the ingredients in there so pine tar may help but I would use it carefully on a section first. Make sure to follow up with a moisturizing shampoo.

dontspeakdefeat how do you feel about hairs porosity, is it really that big of a deal? And is the care for lye relaxed hair any different from hair that has been relaxed using a nolye relaxer?
I also think I'm dealing with protein overload again please tell me what I should do and what types of products will help and which types to avoid? TIA

A sewn in weave should only be kept in 6-8 weeks but no longer than twelve. No matter how much I tell my clients 6-8 weeks there is always someone who stretches beyond that. The longer you go there is more of a chance for matting and tangling which can lead to damage.
It is not necessary to take a break in between if your weave is done properly and you are doing proper maintenance. I have had clients where back to back weaves for 2-3 years at a time.
Hair should be shampoo bi-weekly and the braids underneath should be moisturized on a regular basis.

It makes the ends thicker if the hair is cut past the point of the thin parts or breakage but if you are talking about thickness of hair strands then no.
