I know there have been countless topics started about discourgement. But I've been a member of this board for nearly 4 months. I've done everything. CO washes, protein treatments, deep conditioning, leave-ins, oils, spritzes, protective styles, no heat, stretching relaxers, vitamins, water, carrots, exercising, protein shakes, serums, you name it and I've done it or am doing it. I've tried to be very consistent because I feel that is key. And yet my hair looks the same as it did 4 months ago. The one change I did notice was what MSM did for my hair. What am I doing wrong? Am I expecting too much. My hair was badly damaged from daily curling iron use and other things. Maybe it takes time to repair the damage and then start seeing real progress. My hair is a little longer but not much. Its already too thick. Its still dry, thin ends. And I am at wits end about what to do.
What do I do!!!! I want to just say f*** it and just make sure my hair looks good even if it isn't healthy. Please help.

Hey T
Just give it time... i didn't notice ANY change in my hair until i viewed the first set of pictures that i took. Do you have an online album (forgive me if this question has been asked, i didn't read all of the posts), if not, i would suggest you start that. It's amazing the difference that you notice once you keep track of where you were 6 months ago. Also, don't take pics every month... once every 3-4 months is good enuf.
For your ends, i definately suggest profective healthy ends and tigi ego boost. My ends r superb now b/c i apply this to my ends every other day (sometimes daily). Also, if u bun it daily, try slathering a little conditioner on ur bun before bunning it, that'll keep it from drying out. You could also try putting evoo or vaseline on ur ends and that'll definately improve ur ends health.
Do you have split ends?
