O damn...is the damage that bad?.

When I get home Ill post pics. I think my hair is awful now. My curl pattern is ruined.

Cut it off and start over.

I want to but my head is big as hell. The volume of my hair used to help camo it but not anymore :-/

Are you going to cut it all off or just trim it gradually?

Gradual. This well be a third long transition for me :-/

Sorry to here that, I just cut off some damaged hair. Start over and just learn from this. *hug*

I've never had this big of a problem from heat. But then again I was using a leave in "with keratin" that I got from DR. That may be what really did it. Idk. I'm just really disappointed. October would've been 5 years.

I don't see THAT much of a difference. The first pic looks like your hair was just done and the second pic looks like a few days of wear or after a humid ass day. What exactly is wrong with it?

Your hair is pretty long, so I'd say just get about 1-2 inches trimmed off regularly every 4-6 weeks for about 3 months. In that time just wear some protective heat free styles. Wash your hair at night or on weekends (if you're off) and let it air dry. Don't use any heat on your hair for about 6 months but after 3 months you can start switching up your styles. You'll be ok.

five years. Keratin messed of some parts of my hair the part I had to cut out. see.

see that extra long freaking piece? I had like 7 of those strategically placed about my head making me like crazy when I wore my hair out. I had to cut them all. I thought about big chopping again. Still thinking because some of my hair I feel like is too damaged

Keratin.

After seeing this. Don't cut it! try to transition again, at least it is all the same texture.

My hair doesn't curl anymore. At all. Just loose frizzy waves with lots of straight pieces. And the volume is way down. Shrinkage is down to maybe 20%. My hair was day 1 for both pics, same products and styling. That IS air dried :-( I've just been bunning it or wearing it loose. Im giving up on heat until next June atleast. I've made peace with it. I could be bald.

Thanks ladybug. The color is from henna. That was another debacle. Protein overload, but I wanna do it again

Why cant I wake up tomorrow in shape? Shin splints from running might be my cause of death.

How often were you henna'ing?

I henna'd once back in January so that my indigo treatment would take. The indigo has pretty much faded all the way out so I'm thinking about doing another treatment. I'm hoping me only henna'ing once or twice a year will keep it from loosening up my curls and wrecking my situation. We'll see.
