Some of my hair on the sides at the front have broken off and thin due to too much braiding and weaving.
I’m now growing out an EXTREMELY short haircut. I’ve learned that an improperly installed weave or improper haircare while wearing a weave all can contribute to your natural hair's breakage. Some people say it will take about six months for your edges to grow in and for the front to grow back. I guess I just have to be patient.
In October 25, 2011 is the day I decided that enough is enough and started to take of my hair.
This is where I am now (with a little bit of hairpiece in front)
It has been five weeks since my last relaxer on 25 October 2011. I have 3 more weeks to go until I relax my hair again. I’m going to continue washing, deep conditioning and oiling scalp (with castor oil) twice a week. I will also continue moisturizing every day.
I use Organic Root stimulator relaxer.
Have you heard of stretching?
Stretching is a term used in the hair growing community to describe increased amounts or time between relaxer touch ups. If you normal receive your relaxer touch ups at 6-8 weeks you might benefit from stretching your relaxer touched up to 10-12 weeks.I would love to try this exercise but not now when my hair is breaking like now because hair expects says you should listen to your hair. It you feel that you are experiencing increase breakage, end your stretch.
