I use no-lye and I don't have breakage. Some neutralizers double as chelators so I guess if you weren't using one of those, you wouldn't be removing the mineral deposits, hence breakage.
I used to use ORS neutralizer but now I use Hawaiian Silky (no-lye formula) and I've never had breakage with either.

The one from the Soft & Beautiful line. Botanicals Lite Creme Moisturizer.

I'm shopping moisturizers now that I know that petroleum based ones stop breakage and softens my texlaxed hair. It did the opposite with my natural hair. Go figure. Now a lot of my products are useless. I'm trying to stick with one product line for everything I need but that ain't working out so good.

I have some breakage near the front of my head. I'm not happy. I am sure it was the dye.
I worked on my hair for two days! And Now it is a mess! Lol i uses a fat tail comb and wasnt very gentle, it was some broken hairs, but whatever. I wanna dye my hair in a few weeks. Jet black of course. I guess I will just do a prepoo wit coconut oil and start from scratch. I wanted to work out today anyway.

Use extra protein in that area only. If there is a rinse that mimics the color, try that too.
but I clicked it to catch up since your siggy was right there. Hicks or Eco Olive. For me, I get the best results when my hair was lightly misted and then the edge product put on top. So I mist my perimeter, brush in my styler, then put on my scarf.

Eco styler gel argan oil and put scarf on for the night and edges stay laid . I try to only apply the gel on wash day because I don't want a whole bunch of gel caked on. So every night I moisturize and seal and the moisturizing re activates the gel and I put on a scarf

I thought I was the only one that thought my gel gets reactivated!
Nope, when you keep applying it starts to get rock hard and can flake. it's just that as the days go by it reactivates but gets a softer hold each day which is fine because it still holds SuchaLady we sound like super heroes but instead of saying activate we say reactivate! Lol
MSM water and grapeseed oil, although I follow your blog so I know your hair doesn't really agree with MSM.

Dude. Not happy with Shea Moisture Soufflé!! I watched MahoganyCurls' twist & curl video this weekend, and picked up the soufflé & perm rods to try & master the twistout once & for all... It has zero slip & was a PAIN to use! Halfway through I gave up & undid everything... Started over with Fructis Cream Gel & a spray bottle - finally finished - crossing fingers it turns out well. My hair takes FOREVER to dry, so I won't know if it's a success or not til tomorrow =(
Girls that love the soufflé, how do you manage without slip?

I cant remember the last time I washed my hair or took this bun down. 7 day work weeks are a killer. Sigh...

Just took down my Senegalese twists after 6 weeks. Here is a comparison shot of my braid take-down hair in February of this year to now. I'm geeked for ANY type of progress, esp considering how much hair cutting I've done this year

Thanks ladies, I've been using aloe vera gel to tame my edges. It works nicely but was seeing what else was out there. I cannot find the pink eco that EnExitStageLeft recommended.
NaiyaAi, can you believe I was foolish enough to try MSM again. I scaled back on the amount and all seems well. I'm waiting to brag. I want to be sure it works. At what point do you stop using MSM before touching up?
Thank you NaiyaAi, SuchaLady (and all others) for following me!
