Itchy Boobs
Posts: 360
 
| Ok so let me start by saying I always had long pretty hair it wasn't like crazy long but under my boobs lol. We'll I went to get more blonde In 3 months ago and tried a new girl. Traumatic experience she ended up cuttin my hair I said you can thin but none of length.. Well I ended up with my hair almost in a bob on the top layer and 5000 layers no joke . I've went back to my normal girl already she's done all she could and said just let it grow my hairs at my shoulders barely now it's growing slowly but surely I have to keep getting it cut just tryin to even layers. In the meantime straightning my hair has been out of the question that was always my go to. I suck at braiding and in a ponytail it just looks Waky with all my layers spiking out. Any advice I'm pretty desperate lol also my hair just looks fragile and dead I deep condition the crap out of it and I barely use heat?? |

| Been there done that and it sucks big time. Coconut oil is your friend. I get mine at Sally's and put it on at night. Make sure your shampoo and conditioner is sodium laurel free. You might try some kind of hair vitamin. |

Location: on my horse | No more color, no more styling, switch to a natural product.I use all natural shampoo bars and a natural hair conditioner. I have hair past my waist now and rather than it falling out in clumps and being static filled and frizzy with that mix of healthy products I've been able to wear it down a lot. The conditioner seems like it helps bind the hair together without making it greasy and gross.
here's the link for the conditioner I use http://www.sheamoisture.com/Raw-Shea-Butter-Restorative-Conditioner... its free of pretty much everything lol
I got my last hair bars from here http://www.applevalleynaturalsoap.com but have also had good luck with http://www.chagrinvalleysoapandsalve.com
Finally big wide headbands will be your friend, get some with a pattern or different colors and they don't wash out your face or make it look like you're a nurse going into surgery or something lol That way you don't have to style much, and whatever sticks out i run a little bit of conditioner over my hair dry to tame it, no hair spray!

Location: North Dakota | If you're going to use coconut DO A SPOT TEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I used coconut oil on my hair a few times and it DESTROYED it. And it's not just me, apparently many have issues to their hair reacting badly to the oil and getting fried, weak, and breaking off. My hair was just about down to my boobs and I had to cut it just above my shoulders to get rid of the damage. I HATE short hair so it was a terrible experience. One thing I haven't used yet, but have seen many people have great success with, is Olaplex. http://www.amazon.com/Olaplex-No-Hair-Perfector/dp/B00VL0Z6MK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1437174268&sr=8-3&keywords=olaplex+no+3
I'm definitely going to order some, it's worth a shot. |

| I don't have a lot of good advice but buns, your hair in a clip, and ball caps may look good until it grows out!! Good luck! |

Location: MD | Get a good deep conditioner. When you have to style your hair, use the cool setting and a round brush. That stinks. I feel ya girl. Same just happened to me. |

Location: Southern Indiana | Biolage hydrating shampoo and conditioner is a life save!! And get some Moroccan oil. These will both keep your hair healthy and help it grow. When you just a trim just trim the very bottom layer. Until then get a 1 1/4" curling iron and curl it in loose waves or buy some bellami hair extensions to blend out the layers! I have never tried them because hair extensions weird me out, but if I did I would probably choose them because everyone says they are the best quality. |

| I had this happen to me, I used to have hair super long, then I donated what was supposed to only be 9 inches, ended up being 17 inches....talk about livid. That was 2 years ago (I have rarely even highlighted my hair), and just now is it down to the middle of my back. No clue what happened since it used to grow like crazy, but its just stopped. I just have given it time and left it alone so I didn't aggravate it more. |
