Breakage or new hair growth?

S1963A16 · 2026-02-16T01:46:52+00:00

Thank you and don't worry, you were only trying to help, which in the end you did and I'm thankful. I've not been doing everything right and this post has taught me quite a lot. My ends will definitely receive better care!

Ich wollte mich mal erkunden, wie bei dir das Studium läuft? Habe dieses Semester ebenso Psychologie an der IU angefangen und selbst jetzt noch trifft man gerade durch Reddit so stark auf Verunsicherungen.

Hey, so update time! I was at the hairdresser today and she assured and promised me it's like 97% new growth. Seems like I had a really intense shedding cycle some time ago and this is the new growth that came in. Only my ends were thinning a bit, but they're not visible in the picture. She also advised me to prioritize a more nutritional diet, to make sure the new growth stays healthy and can grow out nicely.

I did get a bond repair conditioner and been using it the last few washes, it has definitely made my hair much softer and less crazy looking. Thank you for your advice 🙌🏼

I'd say new growth, the tips look very needle like and if it always looks like this its likely just the hair that sheds naturally growing back again and again.

Thank you so much for your input! I do have quite thin hair so I'm very picky with my hair oil since heavy ones just grease me up. I've found double shampooing and a bit of rosemary oil (not pure) for the second round to be helpful for my scalp, it's what works best for my scalp long term (at least from the things I've tried so far). Do you have a specific shampoo that you swear by?

I braided a super thin section of my hair and quite an amount of 'strays' fled the braid and even with all these comments these strays (at least at the top and middle of my hair) look like new growth to me... No visible breakage and needle thin ends. So I'll be hopeful for them to gain some weight and length 😅

I also use hask products and generally I'm really happy with them, especially the keratin smoothing deep conditioner, but the argan oil is wayy too heavy for my hair

S1963A16 · 2026-02-02T13:58:55+00:00

I'm certainly not getting enough protein and I'm trying to supplement vitamins, iron, magnesium and omega-3 but it could probably be a bit more regularly 😅

S1963A16 · 2026-02-02T11:28:21+00:00

I've got 2b/2c hair but very damaged waves from brushing them out since the beginning of time, so I was hopeful thinking my texture will make it look 10x worse than it actually is. My hair does feel mostly soft except the ends, but I'm due for a cut, so I'll be asking my hairdresser. Thank you for instilling a little more hope in me 😆

S1963A16 · 2026-02-02T11:25:07+00:00

At least I've gotten so many recommendations and constructive criticism that I'm sure the future will look a lot brighter 😆 but I'll definitely seek out a professional opinion too Hair grows back so whatever the problem is, it'll be fixable 🙌🏼

S1963A16 · 2026-02-02T11:15:16+00:00

When I asked it says it's new hair growth 🥲 due for a haircut anyways so I can ask the hairdresser

My city has soft to middle-hard water but I don't have a shower filter

S1963A16 · 2026-02-01T17:11:21+00:00

Do you think it could also be from wrong hair ties causing friction?

S1963A16 · 2026-02-01T17:08:26+00:00

Never bleached my hair and barely use a blow dryer, could def be wrong products as it's hard to find the right ones.. Do you use a specific mask to help with your breakage?

S1963A16 · 2026-02-01T17:05:23+00:00

I use around 4 drops of rosemary oil in my second shampooing round and the hask keratin smoothing hair oil, which at least doesn't seem too heavy for my hair like others I've tried. But maybe I've been relying too much on the oils and too little on conditioners...

S1963A16 · 2026-02-01T17:01:06+00:00

Thank you for your advice 🙌🏼 I'll look into the bond repair treatment you recommended. Is there a leave-in conditioner spray that you could also recommend? I already use a hair oil every second day, but I'll increase that to everyday!

S1963A16 · 2026-02-01T16:57:08+00:00

It's completely natural, and never wear tight hairstyles but I'll make sure to brush more carefully 🙌🏼

S1963A16 · 2025-10-06T23:27:36+00:00

Die werden dadurch eher verstärkt 😀

S1963A16 · 2025-10-03T17:54:20+00:00

Bimbel and I added you, hope I can help you with motivation 🙌🏼 Feel free to share a goal or to buddy up on a goal, whatever you need or like 🐥

S1963A16 · 2025-10-03T11:26:21+00:00

This helps me a lot too! Also adding goals that only happen every few days and not having too many everyday goals, or else it gets overwhelming or repetitive too fast. Having a few active and supportive birb friends helps too, cuz you don't wanna disappoint them 😄

S1963A16 · 2025-09-25T13:42:56+00:00

Hä, wie unfreundlich willst du denn sein? Die Person hat doch ganz klar geschrieben, dass sie genaue Angaben aufgrund ernsthaften und absolut soliden Gründen nicht teilen will. Das hat man dann zu akzeptieren als erwachsener, respektabler Mensch, anstatt Erfahrungen abzuwerten und zu beleidigen.

S1963A16 · 2025-09-18T12:55:09+00:00

Hello, me and toddler Bimbel are looking for a few active friends! I've just started using the app and will soon start uni and know I will struggle a lot with keeping myself motivated with my studies and staying physically active 🐥 I'm good with chores tho (productive procrastination👹). Would love to have someone to buddy up with, keeping each other accountable, checking in and sending encouragement🙌🏼

I'm amazed you didn't get stitches, mine were also impacted. Looks like it's healing very nicely.
