Breakage Finally Stopped

[Neen]

A few of you may know that I have been dealing with major breakage at the crown area since 1998. Well, I am finally getting some length! I'm not sure what did it as I made quite a few changes. I went natural for a while and then relaxed with the Mizani for fine, color treated hair. I've been taking 10 mg of Biotin (which I thought wasn't working but maybe it is) and I'm taking 325 mg of Iron (I was anemic). I switched to Therrape poo, Humectress and PM cond. and continue to sleep on a satin pillow case. Maybe it's just the mix of it all that's making it all better but I think the relaxer was the biggest difference. It's so gentle and my hair still fills thick, not thin and lifeless. My edges aren't all crisp either. So, I'll just keep doing what I'm doing and maybe I'll actually GAIN some length this year. That would be nice .

Hooray for you Neen! Glad to hear about your progress. I'm sure the iron is helping a lot- anemia can wreak havoc on your hair. And I truly believe in the power of biotin. I had been regularly using Fantasia IC Strengthening spray since being natural and never have had any breakage despite not being as careful as I should be all the time. Well I decided that I didn't need it earlier this year and stopped using it and don't you know, several months later I noticed breakage at the front (my weak spot) where I had been using snap-clips to decorate my hair. So I'm back to my Biotin spray now. Best of luck on your continued success!

Neen, you really look fantastic with a crop-cut. I only wish that I looked that good. I was anemic a while back and it took me a long time to figure out why I was experiencing shedding. I'm so happy that you found a remedy.

BTW, Caleb is one handsome lil man
