Happy New Year Everyone!

Lately, I've been having some issues with my hair and I've been searching the internet high and low for some advice. Well, I found this website a couple of months ago and I've been hooked ever since. This site is GREAT! This forum feels like a real support group for hair and I can't wait to absorb more advice.

After 5 years of being natural I switched back to a perm about a year ago. Since then I've experienced a lot of shedding and breakage. My hair, once a few inches past my shoulders, is now brushing the tops of them. I've found some great advice on this website and have established the following regime. I've only been at this for about 5 weeks, but the shedding is not so much now and I'm hoping the success continues. I should also mention that I'm 9 weeks post relaxer and debating if I'll go natural again.

Anyway, here it goes...

I wash my hair once a week.
Shampoo:Aubrey's Organic J.A.Y
Conditioner: Motions Deep Conditioner
Leave-In: Pantene Light Spray Conditioner, QP Mango Butter

I usually wear my hair pulled back in a bun.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!
Curlybun, I did a Aproghee treatment for 3 weeks in a row following by an intense conditioning session and I continued washing my hair once a week and moisturizing with QP Mango Butter everyday.
