i have the following issues with my hair:
first issue-i really don't think my hair is attaining the length that it should have. since i went natural 4yrs ago my hair is the healthiest it has been since i was a child, so i am thrilled about that but the length is starting to leave me much to be desired especially when i look at the hair journals on the board. i believe my hair is about 1 1/2-2inches past my shoulder currently but it seems like it has been stuck at that length for years now.
i know for about 2 months i was having issues with tangling and breaking because of dryness but that was because i couldn't get the stuff my hair needed nor did i have any time to care for my hair. but even before that incident my hair was about 1 1/2-2inches past my shoulders. i don'tr notice any breakage when i wash and dry my hair-actually sometimes there is 1 strand of hair in the comb.
i do moisterize regularly, wear protective styles, take supplements and use a conditioning shampoo and conditioner. so what could be wrong? i don't think its genetics cause i did have very long hair when i was a child.
second issue:
my hair is natural and does not hold a style for long. give it a day or 2 and the style looks like crap. i tried wash n go's and they do not look right because of my face shape, even with a headband. lawd the shrinking is real bad too even with leave in gels and conditioners. i tried the dominican blow outs and pressing my hair as well and it seems like with 48hrs whether i do anything besides sit at home or not. i tried a roller set and that didn't even last the day.
i noticed a few of my coworkers with natural hair said they had the same problem. what could be could be the problem? braids seem to be the only thing that works with my hair. i would like to do more than braids sometimes
any advice would be helpful.
