Hair Woes-PICS

[LuvLiLocks]

Hey Ladies, so I finally put pictures in my fotki. I wanted to see if I had any hair left after it was butchered in the name of "triming ends". I feel so naked, because my pony tail is literally half the length that it was before and I only have myself to blame. I haven't achieved a single hair goal in months, but my length was okish so I didnt worry....until I started seeing split ends and damage, so I decide to go to the salon and get a decent trim, and she hacked off my hair. I first I thought maybe I was imagining it, but when several people asked me about my "HAIR CUT" I was quite upset.
Take a look at my photos ladies...This is my new starting point.Password in profile.

ITA. Now you can start from scratch and make sure you baby and pamper your hair so it wont get back in the damaged state that it was in. Whats your regimen? Are you or were you blowdrying?

Thanks ladies, I just get so frustrated when I go to play with my ponytail, and only half of it is there...As for my regimen I really don't have one right now. I used to do daily con washes which always seem to help me achieve length, but not thinkness. When I stopped doing the daily CW's is when I started getting extreme dryness and then breakage and split ends. I can't seem to combat the dryness, my hair is soft, but dry. I really don't know what to do.

like the other ladies said, at least your starting over again with heathly hair and that you were able to retain some length. don't worry, it will grow back!

You're welcome, sweetie. But I think you should find yourself a good regimen and stick with it. Make sure you deep condition with every wash and that should help alot. Also, make sure you're moisturizing daily and sealing with oils, this should also help to combat the dryness. What kind of relaxer are you using BTW? Im sorry for so many questions, but I just want to see what could have possibly caused the damage.

I use ORS relaxer, and I use roux porosity conditioner, as well as Jason's sea kelp. I use heat maybe once or twice a month, but I haven't been using any hair oils since july or so :crazy:, I was using black castor oil, la india, and coconut oil and had no problems, but then I relocated, and forgot about my hair....hmmm, I think I maybe onto something here, lol.
