Hi everyone,
I recently moved to Cherry HIll NJ from Gaithersburg MD in March. Last month I was looking for a new person to do my hair, because I don't like a lot of people in my hair. Well I trusted a friend of mine of over 7 years with her recommendation of a hair dresser.
I should have ran when she didn't have my relaxer. She used a different perm (precise) i was used to affirm. Then after the perm she put in the aphogee treatment. My hair was on fire!! She let the perm sit in too long. She kept asking me if it was burning and i said no, becuause it wasn't, my hair is thick. Eventually after 1/2 hour i TOLD her to wash it out.
She roller set it and combed it out. A week later my hair started to fall until my hair completely fell out. I finally let it shed itself so that all my dead hair can come out.
I have no back, and my left side is thin. I bought Nexxus Biotin shampoo and conditioner and i have been reading on hair and taking care of my own hair.
In a way i guess it was a blessing in disguise, because it taught me to be more educated about my hair and not depend on someone else to do it. right now i am growing out my relaxer and considering going natural. But ovrall i just want to plain take care of my hair.
I heard that mineral oil is not good for our hair, but everything i use has some in it, should i add another oil to combat the dryness? I also take cod liver oil, and nioxin dietary supplements, but i still find that it dries out during the day. How do you keep your roots moist betwen relaxers? Should i try the coconut and lime treatment or do you think my hair is still too fragile? any help on general maintenance would be appreciated.
My hair type is a 4b i think with some 3c. Also i did have one weird question. My hair in my "lower region" (below the belly button)is straight and not curly. Is that weird?
I also should have taken a hint that the beautician had old looking braids herself
