My hair is lifeless. My hair has been the same length, give or take a couple of inches my entire life…except for when I was pregnant with my daughter. My hair was gorgeous back then. I’ve always had problems with breakage and I’ve never been able to grow out the sides of my hair past my shoulders, or even to my shoulders. I’ve always had fine hair, but over the past two years my hair has become even finer. I can’t wear my hair in a bun, I can’t wear my hair in a ponytail, I can’t wear my hair down because it doesn’t “stay”. My regimen is pretty simple and I don’t manipulate my hair a lot, but my hair is still lifeless. I attempted to go natural, but I found it difficult to maintain and style my hair. This is my current routine:
Wash my hair once a week, followed by a deep conditioner and sit under a hooded dryer for about 15 – 20 minutes.
Roller set my hair and sit under the dryer until hair is dry (about 1 hour).
Take out the rollers once my hair is dry and wrap my hair.
As far as styling goes, the only heat I use on it is once a week when I sit under the dryer.
The products I use:
KeraCare shampoo and conditioner
ApHogee 2 minute protein reconstructor
Mizani Nighttime Treatment
I see a stylist about every six weeks. He does good work, but I feel like he may do a little too much manipulation. He blow dries my hair and then uses a flat iron to curl and style my hair. I try not to go too long between trims, but my hair is all different lengths. The left side is longer than the right side, the back of my hair in the middle looks like it is breaking off. I’ve considered just trying to do my hair myself, instead of going to my regular stylist because even after I get my hair done the next day it is back to being lifeless.
Any ideas on what I need to starting doing, stop doing, etc…?
