Hello Mireille, Let me introduce myself. I am a single mother of 40 and my hair constantly breaks off. I used to have a lot of thick hair. I use hair mayonnaise, daburolie shampoo from olive oil. It helps but temporarily first my hair becomes fuller and then it breaks off.
I always have my hair straightened by an experienced hairdresser. I am at my wits end because my hair is getting shorter and shorter. Not everywhere but right in the back in the middle it really doesn't look good. Whatever I do it stays dry from the front it looks good but only if I have just done it. After 1 hour it is all over the place.
I am of Antillean descent and have really frizzy hair. What should I do to make my hair grow again and become healthy. I am really at my wits end and could cry I find it so bad.
please help me.
greetings Nadira

Hello Nadira,
Thank you for visiting kroeshaar.com. I am very happy with your email because I don't know if you know my hair story, but you describe EXACTLY what I went through.
After years of straightening my hair broke terribly, no matter what I did. Out of misery I started braiding, that did my hair good. After half a year I had a full head again so I happily went back to the relaxer.
You guessed it, after three months it was crying again. My hair didn't break in the middle back, but in the middle of my head. I don't know if it's the frizzy part of your hair too, because I think that's the most sensitive part that always starts to sting first when you relax. Do you recognize that?
Anyway, after having experienced this joke a few times, I wanted nothing more than my own hair back. I CRAVED healthy hair. That's why I stopped relaxing.
In the picture you see me with relaxed hair. One of the last times I did it. Although it was already quite so it looks nice because I just came from the hairdresser but in the middle was completely broken off.
Although I had other worries with my frizzy hair, at least my hair was healthy and grew well in its frizzy state. I decided to learn to deal with my own hair at all costs and the rest is history. My books, Going-Natural.com , this site and everything in it is my experience that I like to share with others who are going through the same thing.
What I would like to advise you first is to visit a dermatologist to rule out that it is not hair loss with a medical cause, but really just hair breakage. You should also know that stress, which many (single) mothers have, can also cause hair loss.
The difference between hair breakage and hair loss is that hair loss is the hair falling out with the root, while with hair breakage as I know from myself and many others who relax, the hair breaks off at the point where the frizzy hair and the relaxed part meet. The hair at that point is usually very short but can still grow.
What I can advise you based on my own experience is the following. I have advised this to several people and so far it has always helped.
– Use the Clean Start . This is truly a world treatment that detoxifies hair and scalp from all accumulated dirt and chemical residues. After a treatment you will notice that your hair is noticeably softer and that your hair will shine. When you rinse out the conditioner you will feel your scalp tingling.
– Use the Scalp Conditioning Spray to prevent hair breakage in difficult areas and to stimulate hair growth. It is super easy to apply and economical in use.
– Depending on how you want to wear your hair, choose the Silky Shea Hair Butter , Curly Twistout Hair Cream or the Going Natural Herbal Styling Gel .
– Sorry to say, but stop relaxing and give your hair a chance to recover. If you don’t know what to do, buy a wig, wear a temporary weave or braid your hair as long as you can follow the progress of your own hair.
I sincerely hope that our advice helps you and that your hair will grow back. Good luck and success. Keep us informed if you want.
