Breakage due to styling?

[Mz.Shug]

Hello ladies,
I've noticed that my hair begins to break when I style. I don't use heat so it's mostly french rolls,roller set(wetset),braidouts. When I leave my hair alone (just combed through) it's fine. Anyone else have this?

my reg is:
Daily co-wash w/ Hello hydration
Moisturize with ORS olive oil
Started Mega-tek tues (applied on the scalp only)
Poo-clarify once a month
Sleep with silk scarf
DC w/ORS replish pak once a week

Heat only w/dc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like an imbalance in protein. But I see you started using MT only this week. When did you notice the breakage? If it was this week you might want to up the moisturizing DC's. I see you do lots of moisturizing but your hair could be sensitive to protein like mine. Maybe start using pure extra virgin olive oil, I hope someone can give you the advice you need.

I'd get breakage too, but I think what helped me was upping my moisture, and wearing styles like wet buns (anything extremely low mani helps). For *me* I know I can't go a week wearing braidouts (even though I love them). I'm also learning not to handle my hair too roughly.
