Hello all I am new here and I have a problem. My daughter is 6 yrs old she has been getting a perm since she was 3 1/2 (long story that involves a family memeber) at any rate it started off good I was putting in a just for me and bringing her to the salon to trim her ends. Well I got Barry Fletchers book and found out that NO-LYE perms weren't good for the hair. So I switched to Motions Kid with Lye. The transition seemed to be going well her hair is long and thick it is to the middle of her back. Over the summer I started noticing that she was losing hair on the sides and started bringing her into the salon to get her perms because I feared I was over processing. She was getting perms every 6-8 weeks. I have had no luck and she has lost even more hair. I have decided that I don't want to perm her hair any longer. and it has now been approxitamely 10 weeks since she has gotten a relaxer. Her new growth is thick and hard to comb through and it is a lot. I have gotten her own hair braided and that has helped with not having to comb through because when I do she has a lot of shedding. I plain to cut here hair as the new growth comes in so that I don't have to cut it all off to get the perm out. Does it sound like I am on the right track now and what can I do to insure I don't make matters worse. PLEASE HELP!
