Ok, i just started to get really serious about my hair care and this is what i have been doing. I removed my sew in weave about a week and a half ago. When i first removed it i washed with Granier Frutise Frotifying Shampoo since the comercial claim it stops hair form breaking then i shampooed and condition with Pantene Relaxed and Natural. Applyed Garnier Frutis 3 min Hair Mask. Then i did a "Dark and Lovely Dry Hair Healer ( cholesteral Conditioning Treatment and went under a heat cap for like 10 min". Then i applyed IC Fantasia styling gel and a little World of curls to the front of my hair and Cantu Shea Soft to my ends along with a little grease that cotains jojoba oil and a couple other oils. The Cantu didn't seem to help me at all my ends were still really dry and my hair was still breaking even though the bottle said its a Strengthing Treatment and i put my hair in a bun. Then the days that followed i condition washed my hair with Sauve Naturals Tropical Coconut. Since Saturday i have not washed my hair i've just been applyin the Cantu to my hair wnds hoping that it would kick in, lol and that grease i mention "All ways Natutal Super Grow Condtioning Hair dress.
So TODAY i went to the store and i picked up these items: V05 Total Hair Recovery one time use inensive treatment
Elast QP Mango Butter!
Pantene 2 in 1 Shampoo and Conditioning Daily Moisture Renewal
Neutogena Triple Moisture Silk Touch Leave in Cream( it was a little watery) I COULD NOT FIND THE SERUM
Pantene Relaxed and Natural Wrap & Set spray
V05 Total Hair Recovery Conditioner
I shampooed with the Pantene R&N, then i appled the V05 Total recovery to my damp hair, put on the plastic cap and left it for about 10 mins. The i Condition With the V05 Total Hair recovery Conditioner. When my hair was pretty much damp i applyed the Neutrogena Triple moiture, but it didn't seem like it was doing so i went for the Mango Butter which worked GREAT, made my hair really soft and manegable.
So i twisedt my hair up and now i'm waiting until i take them out and comb my hair to see if i will experence any breakage. I HOPE NOT.
This is the Plan. .
Wash every other day with Pantene 2 in 1 Moisturizig Shampoo and Condtioner
Try the Triple Moitsture again.
Put Mango Butter on my ends
Style with IC Fantasia Gel
What guys think? My hair is thin so i'm going to try Surge in a couple weeks to see if i can achieve some more thickness and also S-Curl to try and define my curls some more. I do not apply any heat at all to my hair, expect for when i go under the heat cap.
Feel free to suggest any products that might work well on my
3c/4a natual hair. Especially thing that will make it thicker.
Thanx to all that is taking to time to answer my questions, i really appreciate it

You sound like you plan to comb your hair dry when you take out the twists. You realize this is a big no-no, right?
From your list of products, it sounds like your hair is OD'ing or eventually will, which will only worsen the breakage.
Also, some of them, like the Pantene line, have all kinds of harsh ingredients (detergents), and drying cones that will only worsen your situation. Garnier Fructis shampoo... this is bound to be loaded with harsh detergents. Don't believe commercials, you need to read and understand product labels, and cut down on your # of products. Don't buy everything that's suggested to you. Try to take control of your hair situation.
I think you would really benefit from cruising forums like naturallycurly, nappturality, etc, to learn the real basics about caring for your natural hair.
Good luck!
. Also, how can i prevent my hair from breaking?
