Twists too often=poor ends overtime?

[FtrDrO]

i have/had lots of mid strand splits. I thought it was from blow drying a couple times... but im not sure. i just let it be, cause i sure as hell am not going to cut all my hair off again lol.

i also have splits that i am slowly trimming away.... *sigh* never thought it could be from my twists but idk. i usually wear 'out' and thought it was from that.

tamz412 I know for me personally, I rarely use heat or wear out styles and I still get them so idk. I'm also trimming the splits off and have played with doing another mini BC but based on a thread from before, plenty people who have the same issues with splits, found that they just returned after cutting them. So I figure that there is no point in doing that. So I'm going to try to eliminate twisting from my regimen for awhile and up the protein to see if that makes a positive impact.

@NaijaNaps I also started suspecting the protein thing as well and very recently (last two weeks) made the decision to incorporate weekly protein into my regimen. I guess I'll see if that makes a difference overtime. I'm going to be doing another trim in about 2 weeks and then I'll have a new slate to monitor from again. It's comforting to know that they protein helped you though. Thanks for your input (fellow Naija sister :wink2


And thanks to Nonie, FaithVA, and everyone else for your input!

I have the same problem as you OP and I'm doing regular protein treatments to the point where I get little to no breakage.

I don't mess with twists anymore. I work primarily in braids. The times that I have twisted, I've gotten damage or issues with knotting.

I've also cut off a lot of split ends over the years. I'm split end free, thank God. I'm regularly dusting every 8 weeks.
