Feeling Overwhelmed

[vtoodler]

I registered here to learn about caring for my hair.

However, I feel like I'm drinking from a water hose because there's so much good information on this site.

My hair is in really bad shape, and I really don't know what to do.

I've gotten some good recommendations about shampoos and hair moisturizers. But I still need help with styling, conditioning and breakage prevention.

I feel so overwhelmed and frustrated.

Feel free to pm me.

I know how you feel. There's a lot of trial and error in this hair journey.

Start by telling us about your hair: length, texture (fine, medium, coarse), relaxed or natural, and regimen.

Welcome! Assesing where your hair is currently and setting a goal will help. Then finding the products and tools to get you there. It will be trial and error but being consistent helps. Good luck.

Remember you don't have to do it all at one time. Break it down into manageable sections; cleansing; moisturizing, styling, etc. Get 1 part right and then move on to the next. Sometimes there can be too many moving parts and you can end up with a lot of effort and very few results.

Perhaps reading the Science of Black Hair would help give you a foundation from which to build. I know it would have helped me in the beginning. This site was more helpful to me once I got the fundamentals down, and was able to figure out questions to ask and answers to look up.
I read a lot of these articles http://contributor.yahoo.com/user/83046/audrey_sivasothy.html and as a relaxed head this blog was the start of my journey http://relaxedhairhealth.blogspot.com/
