ok so right now i am 6 months post relaxer and i have gotten a lot of growth but i also see that a small section of my hair has thinned out and some of the ends are pretty damaged. I've already started to trim a little here and there but i DO NOT want to cut my hair lol it's finally getting to the length that i want. i was wondering if you guys knew of any other things i could try instead of cutting. will protein help? and just trimming every 3 weeks? p.s i dont plan on perming my hair until right before xmas or maybe not until next year. i have been wearing sew ins to protect my hair....i thought they were my friend but maybe not lol
