Found My Update Pictures I Thought I Lost: See My Big Chop but..

[star]

......you need to look at all the pictures to see how over relaxing or getting relaxers too close in time frame thin my hair out terribly. I relaxed every 8 weeks and it was done by hair dresser who had no idea why it was thining it was only from this board I realized what the problem was that I needed to stretch my relaxers. Started this stretching in December 2005 and big chop in January 2006.

Stretching my relaxers was the one thing I was missing. It goes to show you that you can be doing 10 things right but it only takes
one(1) major thing to cause a set back but I am not mad because now I feel more empowered with knowledge. So far my hair is doing great and I cannot wait to see my progress on my next relaxer in June.

Wow...well, this is why I LOVE this board. There is sooo much hairdressers WON'T tell you, either because the don't know (shame), or they are afraid if they shared, you'd have no reason to see them. With your new found knowledge, you should start seen progress in no time

I'm glad you discovered the problem. I remember my stylist couldn't tell me why my hair was thinning either.

Thank goodness for hair boards!!

Thanks ladies and yes my hair dresser knows that I have taken some of my hair needs else where due to her lack of knowledge or with holding information.
