I AM SOOO MAD!!! I sacrifice.... look busted and \"swole\" 75%

of the time, keep my hair well conditioned, use minimal heat only to go to the stylist so she can break off 1/3 of my hair while relaxing it!!!
From now on..I am going to self-relax! I've had it! It seems like I just can't win.
Now that my pity party is over...I feel a little better, but still missing my hair!

Sorry to hear that she cut off a 1/3 of your hair! /images/graemlins/shocked.gif I would be mad, but I don't go to a hair stylist.

Maybe now you can start off taking care of your own hair with fresh cut ends! Good luck! /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Don't worry hun, your hair will be back in time. We all have a turning point in our hair journey where we decide to take charge. Usually that is when your hair really flourishes. /images/graemlins/smile.gif No one can take care of your hair better than you.

I know what you mean. Some stylists are really rough w. the new growth and cause tremendous breakage by raking through the hair like they're raking leaves. /images/graemlins/nono.gif

I am sorry for your hair woes, but it will come back and you can nurse it back to health.

I know how you feel because i just went through this experience thanksgiving weekend. I was sooooooo upset /images/graemlins/swearing.gif
Then I started the baggie challenge and now I am more determined than ever to grow my hair.
I have learned from my mistakes and I will never let anyone in the salon I went to trim my hair. Matter of fact I think Im going to decrease my trims to once or twice a year. Before I was trimming my hair 6x a year.
Just continue to be strong and try to find a beautician who will be more gentle and caring about your hair.

You would think they learned in school that hair is super fragile when its being relaxed. You cannot force a comb, or handle hair with relaxer in it roughly. I went to one stylist and she was combing the relaxer through so roughly I could HEAR my strands breaking. Never went back to her again.

My hair has never been so healthy now that I don't go to stylists anymore. It has been more than 5 years that I last went to a stylist. I love being in charge of my hair and of my growth.

This is exactly why I do my own hair now. I tried to give stylists the benefit of the doubt and time after time they would jack my hair up. Now that I have taken control of my hair, it is healthier and longer than it ever was when I trusted it to the "professionals".

I stop going to a stylist this past summer. I just couldn't do it anymore. Already my hair is thicker than it was going to stylist.

Sorry to hear about your experience. I think that we have all suffered at the hands of stylists at one point or another. It's been about since six months since I took full charge of my hair and my hair is thanking me for it. Just so you know:

- when the stylist relaxed my hair, the relaxer would sit in my hair for 45 minutes while she was smoothing (and in some cases combing it through with a small toothed comb) uh-huh...

- now, when I self-relax, I do it in halves and the relaxer is in my hair only 13 minutes tops.

Guess which scenario is giving me healthier hair?

IMHO, Taking charge of you hair's care is one of the best thing that you could do for it.
