Hi ladies,
I have been searching trying to find some answers to my hair problem. My computer is extremely slow b/c the search is driving me crazy. Anyway, I am 31 and I have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) which rages havoc on my hormones. Since my hormones are screwy it affects my hair growth. Hair that shouldn't grow (chin, mustach) does and hair that should (on my head) doesn't....at least not like I want it to.
I find that if I go more than 5 weeks w/o a relaxer my hair start breaking off really badly. After I get it relaxed I usually wear a simple doobie and wrap it each night using a airflow brush with a little kemi oil and a satin scarf. I just comb it down with a very wide tooth comb the next day and go. I get my hair re-wrapped once a week if I can, depending on what city I am in. I am a traveling consultant so I am constantly on the road. I try to find a dominican salon wherever I go...otherwise i wait until I get home to NC. I find that the less I 'mess' with my hair, the better it does. With my hair being so thin I really can't use too much product on it or it will weight it down. After my relaxers my hair almost clings to my head with little to no body, that is how thin it is. I am taking a multi-vitamin, Flax seed oil, folic acid, and vitamin C. I am starting to increase my water intake.
What do you all suggest? I know how to do a roller set but I can't do it on my own head. Other than my 'regular' routine I don't know what to do to promote hair growth. Please help a newbie out...I see the pictures you all post and I wish I had hair like so many of you have.
Lastly, I had a relaxer while I was in Oklahoma...obvious the product was not washed out completely and my hair was coming out in chunks...I was in tears...my kitchen and my edges are just now staring to grow back. Even though my hair has grown quite a bit in the last 6 months, I am at a loss. My husband likes my hair straight and he absolutely hates weave and braids...any advice is greatly appreciated.
