Problem Solved

[testimony777]

I just updated the thread I posted a while back about my breakage problem but I thought I would make it a separate thread as well.

Thanks to the great advice you ladies gave I am very pleased to announce that the breakage problem is solved ! To sum it all up it turned out that my problem was lack of moisture.

I took Isis' advice and started moisturizing my hair twice a day as opposed to once and it has made a tremendous difference. I also took Camellia's and NurseN98's advice and started using both conditioner and oil (coconut) on my ends. I mist my ends at night and in the morning, apply my leave in and a small bit of oil and detangle if needed.

I also tried using a damp warm towel for my DT's instead of just a plastic cap and it has made a huge difference in how my deep conditioner works for my hair.

Thanks again ladies for all the great tips. I love this site!

That is WONDERFUL news. Im so thrilled that the breakage stopped for you. I think I will try this as well (increasing the moisture in my regimen). So for now i will hold off on the Aphogee treatment, and focus on moisture.

Just to be clear, are you using more oils on your ends or water-based moisturizers? Or is the conditioner water based, and then you seal that moisture in with the coconut oils?

Thanks for the update, sis.

I am doing the bolded portion of your statement. My conditioner is water based and then I apply the oil. I hope it works for you, keep us posted

Congrats Testimony! Quick question...are you applying a little conditioner to dry hair...and then coconut oil? Or when your hair is wet? I'm trying to apply all of the techniques you ladies talk about...Because I'm wondering if I apply a dab of Humecto and coconut oil everyday, that would help with some of my breakage (not a lot of breakage, just a little).

Humecto and coconut oil will help keep moisture in the hair. I use humecto and surge lotion 9 oil.
