Hey everyone-

Long story short, my hair stylist screwed me over. I've been getting my hair chemically relaxed since I was probably 15 years old (I am 21 now)... Last year I decided to dye my hair as well, and my hair stylist told me it would be fine to mix semi-permanent dye with my relaxer. This past December, the stylist told me the brand of relaxer I have been using has been discontinued so she wanted to use Keratin on my hair instead; which ultimately didnt work. She then used a THIRD relaxer on my hair, assuring me it was safe! You could only imagine how livid and scared I was knowing I had three chemical relaxers and dye in my hair all at the same time. Since then, I have stopped dying my hair letting it grow back healthy and only using one chemical relaxer (I could never not relaxer my hair) on TOP of heat usage. Ultimately the inevitable happened and I got serious breakage in the front of my hair... It is pretty much noticeable.

With that said, I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on oils, products, or remedies to get my hair healthy again. It has been 8 months since I've dyed my hair, and I just got my hair re-relaxed after 6 months. I am mortified that this happened to my hair. Any sort of help would me much appreciated.

Ohmy. I used to get hair rebonding before like every year but I stopped for almost 3 years ago now and just let my natural hair grow. I think the best way to do is to stop going for relaxing sessions until your hair grow back because that makes the hair dry and brittle and your hair will really break, I've seen so many people who experienced the same thing as you and they pretty much have the same reaction as you. Go for hot oil treatments or any tratments to help the hair. Morrocan oil is good too and also Argan oil. try it. :)
