Hello ladies (you all are beautiful)!
I first discovered this forum by accident in 2004 and was instantly glued to the computer for weeks. I personally had been one of those lovely ladies that had always struggled with my hair since the dawn of time. I thought beautiful hair was just one of those traits that you were either born with or not. Well to make a loooooooong story short........you all inspired me and I set out on my journey to get the hair I always admired.
In 2005, I got all the damaged hair cut off and started wearing sew-in hairstyles for an entire year while continuing to moisturize and condition my own hair in the process. In May 2006, I took the weave out and for the first time, began wearing my own beautiful hair. I could not believe it (my mom was even wondering how)!
Two months later, I found out that I was pregnant. Needless to say, my hair grew even faster and had more luster than I could ever imagine. However, my hairdresser warned me that I may have SOME shedding post-pregnancy (especially when breastfeeding). She stated that she had seen it a lot with pregnant women (some worse than others). That was an understatement for me and had I been thinking right, I should have logged on then to see what I could do to stop the shedding.
Therefore, instead of trying to create styles while recovering from shedding, I am starting all over again and want the expert advice from the pros. I need to know how to get this hair back right and keep it that way. I am resorting back to the sew-in while I am going through this process but wanted to get some suggestions as to products, vitamin supplements, and any other tips that you all have seen work for regrowth and health. I would definitely appreciate it.
Just in case this helps tailor the suggestions:
- I have an extremely hard time taking pills, so liquid supplements would be great.
- My hair type is basically 4A/B........so the follicles are soft, fine, and delicate (but beautiful when it is healthy and I WANT IT BACK
Help me.............please!
