My hair WAS on it way to healthy with my TLC. It became thick at the scalp do to the growth/stretching and I got scared. I thought I made so much progress I dont want to *** it up. No more than 4 days later from relaxing at a salon I see shedding/breakage. Its been a few weeks now and has got so much worse. It won't stop shedding! this is not a weeks worth of hair. This is from combing only 1time through. I want to cry, she ruined all my progress.

One comb through never produced so much hair. Maybe 10 strands prerelaxer. But this is not normal for my hair. It is over 100 stands here.
She used affirm. I don't know what strength. she was very rough with my hair while smoothing the relaxer over and over. Then when she shampooed it out she was scratching my head with her nails shaking the scalp vigorously to the point it hurt. I knew it was too much manipulating for after a chemical treatment. Im sure I have chemical damage
Thank you. It progressively been getting worse. I am thinking of washing it now and sleeping with condish. what do yall think? Is it bad to sleep with wet hair. Don't want further damage
only protein I have is ORS hair mayo. Do you have other protein recommendations or is that good enough? Thanks for your help and hugYou could try using a neutralizing shampoo and a protein treatment (or henna) followed by a deep moisturizing conditioner. HTH
I'm getting sleepy so I'm just braided two ponytails and slathered on ORS hair mayo. in the morning I will nurtalize and then deep condish under the hood dryer. thanks yall. NITE.

Girl, just leave your hair alone.
;so I've been steerinmg clear of protein all together. Any way, I will give it a try- thanks. for the suggestions.
You aint lying. I did say
. Just didn't know everytime I put a comb or fingers to my hair that much would come out!
that's what I thought too and I did nothing about the little shedding i was getting in the beginning. Now the shedding is out of control and I have to be proactive to make it stop! Dont worry I wont get crazy with a ton of magic potionsGirl, just leave your hair alone.
. (already learned my lesson with that)
Thanks for the encouragement and advice. I need it
I'm never going back there again. Its funny because my friend goes there and she recommend me. I'm always admiring the good job they do on her hair. So I said what- the- heck. She told me to go to a specific stylist but I didn't end up with her doing my hair. When I got back my freind asked me how it went, and did I like the stylist. I told her I had another girl-Robin. She looked at me like I had said a curse word. Whats wrong with Robin? I said. My friend said she hears bad things about her, & she really only does braids/twist/weaves and such. NOT relaxers. I knew from that plus my experience with her that my hair was in trouble.Hey what happened Did you deep condition? Your Hair can be saved its all in what you do these next few weeks. Baby your hair like a newborn with colic, start vitamins and deep conditioning every 4 days. Low manipulation hair styles and only the best products you can afford.

Sweetie, think about how often you combed your hair. If you only combed it one day out of 4 or 5, then that's not a lot of hair. I think when you relax, you naturally shed dead hairs. Don't be alarmed. Your hair is really beautiful. Don't go back to that salon. She was too rough with your hair.

) And saying "Its better for your scalp if I don't rake my fingernails across it" was like talking to a brick wall.
If the DC doesn't work after a few weeks, Elastica Q control serum will be my plan B. In the past I learned my needed more moisture than protein. That too maybe because I haven't found the right balance
