Yes I have use PM before something in my DC did not work well with the treatment. Probably the Aloe Vera since it has protein in it and someone else just said protein after a reconstruction treatment is a no no... Sigh

No that was prior to the cut! It's in a in length bob now after the cut. That just came out with me running my fingers and comb through my hair

I think you hit the nail on the head! I added rawAloe Vera to my regular DC thought it would be good but didn't realize the protein in it would be an issue. I've never use the reconstruction treatment and the DC with Aloe before so that would explain why it was so hard and dry. It needed moisture. Perhaps had I just DC again without Aloe I would've been fine.

Too late... I couldn't stop myself! Seeing all that hair come out I just kept combing out of curiosity if anything would be left on my head at the end of it. Felt like I was having an outer body experience. I just cut it after I lost all that it didn't make any sense to try and repair it. I think it was caused by too much protein bcuz it was almost as hard as when I used aphogee reconstruction treatment. Smh

Man that picture hurt my feelings. Just goes to show how one day things can be perfect and the next comes a set back. Smh

Did you need protein in the first place? It sounds like you didn't need to use a reconstructor, maybe a mild to medium protein. At some point, some people actually don't even need reconstructors anymore. If I put a reconstructor in my head, it would be setback city, and Im not trying to revisit that place ever again.

Just finished relaxing my hair and now I'm sitting underneath my heating cap DCing. I am most definitely getting a hair cut this week. Yes..it is a must

sounds like my own testimony!
well, i ordered my new products, since i couldn't find a distributor that was about his business....smh now what am i suppose to do for wash day? i probably won't get these products until next week. that will be too long of a wait for me. it is crucial for me to wash my hair at least once a week. i am just going to have to use my Mizani and my keracare wrap foam lotion. i hope my hair still feels nice like it does now.

this is how i felt Saturday. i just gave up trying to get that knot out and just started cutting away. i didn't feel bad about it either. i made peace with myself. i went to the salon the same day and now i feel good and my hair feels great! i feel like i got a new start. i will not be doing any protein treatments myself ever again. i won't be doing my own relaxer, and i will see a stylist from time to time to make sure i am doing the right things at home.
shortdub78 I'm so glad you said this. I know people are antistylist around here but they are helpful.

Yes I definitely needed it. My hair has been breaking quite a bit and I was trying to nurture it back without having to cut it. I just feel it's a blessing in disguised since my hair was damaged anyway otherwise I'd been really depressed right now

i know right! there are good stylists out there. i don't run across too many bad ones. i want a stylist that is willing to work with me when it comes to reaching my goals, and not someone just doing my hair. i've had some great ones that really took care of me.

I'm so sorry that happened to you. It makes me sad.
Don't be... I feel great now and all that damaged hair is gone. I'm a fast grower trust me it will be back in no time.

I cut it to barely touching my shoulders. I wanna do a blunt cut a lil shorter about mid neck length. Reconstructors are protein... I just didn't realize Aloe Vera was high in protein also and I put some in my DC and kept it in for almost 2hrs! So the combination of too much protein and no moisturizer was my problem.

I'm sorry for your losses
I will probably be at that length in a bit, i have stated previously in some threads by beautician, ex beautician was putting relaxer on the ends of my hair(idiot) and i didn't notice the first time and the second time it was too late because i looked up and she already had did and she moves FAST when doing a relaxer and because of those two times my ends are very thin and you can tell where i started relaxing because it's way thicker, i don't have naturally thin hair, and so far the thickness grew out to my chin, but the back broke off all the way to the thickness when flat ironing my hair twice for two week intervals because i think when pulling flat iron down it was popping at demarcation line of thick to thin, my back is just a little above shoulder length and my front on the sides are apl so major difference, but glad my hair is almost full thick, planning to chop when all gets should length Nyah22

Geesh that's awful I'd wanna fight her if she jacked up my hair. I agree with the short look adding maturity to ur look... Same here. I've always had hair about the same length (a lil above bra line) but I cut my hair once before into a cute layer cut where the longest part was at my nape. I loved it! Short hair was so easy to handle and zero drama. But my hair grows fast so unless I continued cutting I couldn't maintain that length. I'm new to this hair thing... It was always just there DC maybe 3 times a yr and sometimes only wash once a month. *hides face* not sure how my hair survive this long to be honest... Gonna do better now tho

Lol that's a crazy coincidence. I'm going to have my stylist cut it a lil different where it's slightly shorter in the back.
