What the heck is wrong with my hair?

[ChocalateDiva]

After a 2 hour DC a protien treatment and a rollersetting session yesterday my once thick hair is so FINE....

While it is shiny and healthy looking- its just not thick anymore!!

This has caused me to wonder if the constant DC'ing has somehow changed the texture of my hair.

I am not happy about it. While the length is lovely, I dont feel comfortable wearing my hair out because of the new thin, fine texture. I'm not even sure if thin is the right world......its just so different... and I'm not sure I like the "difference". My hair used to be so coarse and now its not anymore- only the new growth is coarse.

Has LHCF changed your hair in ways that may not be good?

Does anyone else have any insight on this?

TIA

You sure it's the DC's doing it?

As I understand it, there are not many (non-chemical) ways to actually change your hair's texture. It could be hard water, too much protein, or something else that changed the way your hair responds to styling.
IMO

I'm not really sure. That is the only thing that I could think of. It is super soft and shiny, but it is not mushy when wet. It does not have any damage.


What do you think?

Really? I didnt realized that. I have a filter on my shower so I dont think hair water is the problem. I am more of a moisture junkie than I am a protien junkie. I guess I will have to monitor my protien and moisture....but my hair does not seem weak or mushy nor does it feel brittle.

And you haven't been shedding excessively?

That's happen to me a few times with certain moisturizing conditioners. I have to be careful, they thin my hair out with a quickness.

Nope, no shedding at all.

I had no idea that this could happen. Is it a permanent thing or just temporarily?
