Dear Mireille, Could you please give me advice about my hair. I have really frizzy hair. It is not thick but it has a lot of tangles and breaks off when combing. I braid it but the hair grows so slowly.
I have two boys every time after giving birth my hair breaks and is unhealthy. During pregnancy the hair is thick long and beautiful but after that there is nothing left of my hair.
The first time I had to use antibiotics after an infection after giving birth, then my hair fell out too. The second time after giving birth I didn't use anything. Years ago I used a kind of relaxer for frizzy hair and that had destroyed my hair too.
I want to look well groomed with my frizzy hair. But when I twist it, it is frizzy and looks like it hasn't been braided in months. And I have almost no hair left at my hairline.
I had weaved and after I took it out my hair is completely gone at the front. What products can I use. And can I do twist out with my hair. I am not a mix. When I say frizzy it really is frizzy. Advice for care, beautiful healthy hair and what to use to make it grow healthy.
I have had frizzy hair for over ten years. But it seems like I am in a maze with my hair. I am from the interior. I braid my hair with kinky extension. What products can I use when I have braided my hair. and which products without the braids. I now live in Belgium. Also advice for my hair during the winter and the other seasons.
Thanks in advance for your advice
Kind regards

Dear Miss Anonymous,
Thank you for visiting kroeshaar.com and for the email. I think it is a very important email because there are so many questions that others probably have as well.
First of all, the “real” afro hair as you call it is unfortunately often referred to as hair that is very difficult. The term is mainly used to emphasize stereotypical characteristics of afro hair; that it is hard, difficult to comb and that it does not grow. Nothing could be further from the truth. This hair type is very unique because the vast majority of people do not walk around with natural hair. It is what is typified as the 4C hair type.
From what I hear, your body and therefore your hair have had to endure a lot. Although antibiotics can help with infections, it has very nasty consequences for the hair. It can even cause hair loss.
During pregnancy, hair usually blooms due to the hormone development in the body. It is also normal for hair to fall out again afterwards for the same reason, but that does not mean that the hair is unhealthy. It is part of the process.
Now, the bald hairline, before I read it I already knew. Weaves are a misery for the fine sensitive hairs at the front. But also if you braid the hair too tight your hair can break or even fall out. So be careful with that.
What you need to know is that all the negative things about frizzy hair are only true if you expect frizzy hair to be the same as straight hair. You can't compare frizzy hair to straight hair or vice versa. Just like you can't say that straight hair is difficult hair because it can hardly hold a wiggly or braided hair. It usually takes some time to understand this transition, but here are pictures of hairstyles with hair type 4c, the frizziest hair to show you how beautiful and versatile this type of frizzy hair is. You can also make a twist out with your hair type. Click here for the article Twist Out for Hair Type 4C .
The fact that it seems like your hair is growing "hard" probably has to do with the fact that your hair is breaking off. In order to gain length, your hair needs to be able to reach its maximum length, but this process is disrupted if the hair is constantly breaking off.
Frizzy hair often breaks prematurely because it is dry and is combed out dry, causing the hair strands to break right at the point where a curl is formed. To prevent this, you need to have the right tools and the right products at home.
As always I recommend starting with a clean slate. That means the Herbal Shampoo and the Detox Conditioner . Then you not only know that your hair is wonderfully clean but it also gets a nice boost of vitamins and minerals.
In addition, I would advise you to purchase a large anti-static comb with rounded tips and the No more Knots detangler to comb your hair. This combination will really make combing your hair much easier.
Furthermore for the care and a very nice twist out the Curl keeper & Styling Gel and Curly Twistout Hair Cream. I sincerely hope that you try the products, moreover that they like them and that you send us a picture or upload one yourself.
Odi and see you soon.
