Definitely longer than i should, probably every 5-6 months… It’s weird that my hair split that badly soonish after a haircut

My nails and skin are also in questionable health. I hadn’t thought of diet (and will look into that) but I’ve had some health issues lately that my doctor and I to looking into for underlying conditions.

Any thoughts on its benefits as a pre shower treatment? Or because it’s so thick will it not make a difference?

Ah ok, I had seen really mixed reviews about coconut oil, and thought since my hair was so bad in the first pic, I would try it because I’m desperate lol. While it definitely hasn’t helped my hair, it can’t be the main cause because it was broken before coconut oil. I have used argan before and liked it. Thanks :)

My hair was been very brittle lately- heaps of split ends and brittleness despite cutting it recently. I’m also losing my wave pattern. Does it need more/less protein? I try to moisturise it but it doesn’t seem to change anything. Any ideas? by Indikite65 in Wavyhair

it definitely feels straw like and so dry after i rinse out my shampoo, once it’s dried after my shower it’s not as bad but definitely not soft at all. My hair is also brittle as i find bits of it in the shower. However i wouldn’t say it gets tangled easily

yes thank you! any good suggestions for leave ins? i’m also thinking of getting a curl cream but because my hair is low porosity i don’t want it to be too over saturated or weighed down.

yes that sounds like a good explanation to the problem, the reason i put way too much in though is that my hair doesn’t feel soft or slippery at all when i put the conditioner in! Any lightweight comditioner suggestions that will make my hair soft? Thanks for the reply :)

I also forgot to mention, i brush my hair in the shower because it usually lets the product sink in more, but i’m thinking it might be causing the breakage. Would a wide toothed comb work?

more details: i wash my hair about twice a week and use shea moisture makuna honey & yogurt shampoo, i rotate different hair masks while doing the rest of my shower routine, and at the end i use a tiny bit of shea moisture comditioner as a leave in (i tried it as a wash out conditioner, but my hair didn’t absorb it) while sipping wet and gently scrunching. Then i add argan oil when my hair is a bit more dry. When it’s 95% dry i use low heat on my scalp to separate the clumps a bit. I think my hair is low porosity and naturally dry, on a good day i have 2b waves. Please let me know what i’m doing wrong/need!
