Need Help On My Hair\'s Texture Change
As some of you ladies know I have been on a powerful cancer drug for the past 7 months. My current physician (will update you all in the Off Topic this week) has taken me off it as of this past Thursday.
While taking this medicine my hair shed, I lost 4 inches in length and the texture changed. I was told these things would happen and they did. I was also told my hair would grow back when I stopped the medicine, but I would have an overall change in my hair's texture. Before, my hair had a texture like cotton, and I relaxed every 5 weeks (like clock work) because of breakage due to the two textures. Now, I just realized that I'm into my 8th week, and the comb glides thru my hair, even the new growth! Even after I wash there are no tangles,the comb just glides thru. I don't like it. I have these crazy little waves. It's like baby hair, yuck!
Now I am really confused. When do I get a touch up? Should I switch to a mild instead of a regular relaxer?
Right now I just pre-condition, wash, deep condition,put in a leave-in and braid my hair. But it's like (to me) that I have someone else's hair.
Any suggestions?
