Hi everyone. Just as I was finally starting to accept split ends, guess what? Today I woke up and almost every hair is breaking off (there are tiny white dots at the ends or higher up). I would love some feedback, has this happend to anyone else, is this damage permanent, how quick will it take to get back to normal?
Yesterday I used molasses as a pre-shampoo treatment and then I used a new shampoo (for the first time) which contained vegetable protein. Usually I just focus on my scalp when I shampoo (I dilute shampoo too), but yesterday since I wanted to make sure I get rid of all the molasses, I shampooed (sp?) my ends as well. It was a non-sls shampoo but it contains tea trea oil and whatnot, but I'm sure it's the protein that did this! I'm annoyed with myself because I've been treating my hair really well, s&ding every day, using coconut oil treatments, washing only once a week, no heat appliances.
Anyway, just wanted to vent and the best place is here :p We learn from our mistakes.... I put some jojoba oil on my ends and let's hope for the best. I think I'm going to avoid looking at my hair at all though, because all the breakage is giving me a headache!
