How Do You Ladies that Have No Breakage Do It?

I found the secret to no breakage for me... no more airdrying!

Try doing a braidout with a product other than S-curl. I've only done a few braidouts and i noticed that when i used S-curl my hair strands seem very thin and very fragile and break very easy.

I've been taking better care of my hair since I've come to this board. However, I still have some breakage, especially when I do a braid out? How do you achieve no breakage status?

I went natural...although I didnt really have breakage when I was relaxed, because I rarely heat styled it, combed it, or got frequent touch ups. Now that Im natural, I RARELY see a broken piece

Same here, although I suffered from broken hairs when my hair was relaxed, even though I did not use much heat and was very gentle with it. It was probably from not moisturizing or lubricating it enough. With my natural hair, breakage is no longer an issue and it is stronger than ever.

A hardcore protein treatment did the job for me. I was having major breakage. I had stopped doing protein treatments and conditioners when I moved overseas, and I didn't have access to a beauty supply store. Needless to say, my hair started breaking and shedding something terrible. I finally figured out why. I had my mom mail me aphogee treatment for damaged hair and the keratin conditioner. Despite what I heard, the treatment did not start working immediately. It took about a week and a half to two weeks, but now when I detangle my hair wet, I might see like 2 broken hairs. I hardly see any if I'm combing my hair when it's dry. I'm also doing the weekly aphogee keratin conditioner. I leave that on for 2 minutes per directions. So protein treatments really work. Also, don't forget to follow up with a moisturizing conditioner after using the protein, and put moisturizers on daily.
