[monieluv]

I HAVE BEEN A LURKER FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. I HAVE TRIED SOME OF THE TIPS AND RECIPES. BUT HAIR STILL WON'T GET RIGHT. I'VE RECENTLY HAIR RELAXED AND COLORED HAIR. I STRETCHED FOR THREE MONTHS AND MY HAIR BECAME EXTREMELY DRY AND BRITTLE. I PRE-POO'D, SHAMPOO'D, AND DC'D, BUT NOTHING WORKED. SO I DECIDED TO START OVER. I AM NOW SPORTING A VERY LOW CUT (B/T .25" -.5"). I JUST WANT MY HAIR TO BE HEALTHY. PLEASE, CAN ANYONE HELP ME?!!!

What products are you using, and how?

i've tried various kinds from MNT, NTM, and homemade recipes. i've been doing my own hair for years and this is the first something like this happened that i can recall.

Well, it sounds like you definitely need to amp up your moisture. My hair was in a similar state a year ago. I read a lot of threads in here and got some good moisturizing products. I started doing oil prepoos, deep conditioning, moisturizing daily, and conditioner washing. I started paying attention to the condition of my hair and what it might be needing. I have realized that I need to stay away from hair coloring of any form. My hair does not react well to that. It causes it to dry up and break all over the place. I don't relax as often as I used to but I can't always stretch for long periods. My hair doesn't do well with it all the time. You should check out this thread:
