Is it just my hair or does it seem like the less heat that you use the more breakage you get? Even when I was relaxed and blowdrying and flat ironing once a week or sometimes 2x a week I never had this much breakage. The first time I went natural(at APL) I was still straightening every other week and never had a problem with breakage but it seems like this time around (I'm at APL again) everything I do is making my hair break and I haven't changed my reggie AT ALL (same products and everything). It worked great (ie no breakage very little shedding moisturized and defined curls) when my hair was shorter but now that its longer its failing miserably. Even my standby of shea butter and coconut oil isn't working as well. I know they say that pregnancy can change hair texture (and I have noticed texture change towards the crown and center of my head) but I can't tell if my reggie just needs to be changed, if its just the winter drying it out (but I didn't have this problem last winter) or if its really just the pregnancy. The best I can come up with right now is just blowdry on light heat every week (my hair seems easier to moisturize and needs far less detangling on wash day) until I can figure a better solution. Any ideas ladies?? TIA!!
