OK, here's the situation.
I'm natural and have been natural for the past four years, and I literally have split ends on virtually every single strand of hair (from the straight up split ends to the knots on each strand to splits up the shaft) - bare damage.
So I'm thinking maybe it's time to transition back to a perm - maybe that will allow moisture to get to my hair and prevent the splits.
Now, I've pressed my hair several times, and it's weakened my hair to the point that there are areas that will not revert and areas where my hair has just broken off completely (two patches).
At this point, I would like to perm my hair, but am afraid that perming it will just break it all off. Not to mention, I want a gentle, knowledgeable stylists who can shower my hair with TLC and won't further damage my hair. What to do? What to do?
P.S. I live in Brooklyn, so I am looking for a really great stylist in the NYC Metro area who will be gentle with my hair.
Also, what products can I use to care for my hair - I want 2007 to be a year full of beautiful, health, SPLIT-END-FREE hair...
