Trying not to freak out

[Wildchild453]

I got my hair pressed on Saturday and when I saw it and touched it all I could think was thank you ladies at LHCF b/c this is the best I've ever seen my ends look in my life. So I bow down before your power of knowledge.

But now I've dicovered that, I'm gettin breakage. Small tiny minute pieces, that kinda look like stubble /images/graemlins/confused.gif whenever I touch or comb my hair. I don't want to go back to how my end were before, any advice?

Thanks in advance

That's what my hair does too when I use heat. Not sure how to avoid it besides NOT using heat at all. Or maybe make sure your ends are well protected before using heat./images/graemlins/confused.gif

How often do you use heat Faith, I don't think I've ever noticed it before now

Have you checked for split ends lately? Do you need a small trim?

 

[Faith]

Well this was back in the day when I was relaxed and I was using it at least 1x/week. And even when I was natural everytime I would flatiron or hot comb I had those pieces. I just called it chipping. Little ends about 1/2" or less that just chip off right? I used heat for my BDday last weekend and before that I hadn't used it since August 7th. I won't be using it again.

No, my ends are actually pretty awesome, in no need of a trimming. This was the first time I had used heat since August, Nay, and I had like one split end when I went over my hair...or at least one I found.

Yea Faith, it's just there. how harmful do you think it'll be to my growth

 

[Faith]

Well harmful in the sense that all you grow may be "chipping" away. You have to find a way to stop it. I find washing the press out of my hair stopped the chipping almost immediately. Can you wash it?
