yes Amina - trust me - it takes time and patience. But you will see in time how much you will progress. I started out the same, fragile, weak, broken and damaged plus I'm over 10 weeks+ post. I thought I literally had to start all over from scratch. It still is fragile but not even half as bad as what it was. Remember with DRY and WEAK hair like ours we need an even balance between moisture and protein. That will get it sort of normal sort of. But if you have a lot of new growth, forget about it just don't even manipulate, I don't care how much slip you got. I know how you feel - trust me.
