Okay so I flat-ironed my hair this weekend with the FHI aka FIRE! lol This is the world's best flat iron. Anyway, it turned out great. (See pics below) But I noticed my ends are looking a little....meh. I trimmed with my last relaxer which was Feb. 4th because the thin ends were killing me...still I don't know what happened to them. They are mostly on the bottom part of my hair in the back (near the nape). This area seems to be a different texture from the crown area. For my Oct. relaxer my ends looked fine but now their...different. So I've compiled a list of things I did differently before my last relaxer:
Things That Could've Affected My Ends- Stretching (I stretched my relaxer 15 weeks between Oct. and Feb.)
- Too tight ponytails
- Not properly moisturizing sometimes.
- Maybe too much manipulation when washing
- I noticed more shedding/breakage with the stretch
Oct. Relaxer---------- Feb. Relaxer------------
Feb. Relaxer (after trim)
And here's my hair today.....at 6 weeks post.
See the difference??? The ends are shabby so I need to get on the ball. They're not split...just disgustingly (is that a word?) thin. As a result, I've been paying close attention to the ends and I'm already in repair mode.....
So here's what I've been doing to get my ends together.....
- Keep my ends moisturized and sealed at all times!!
- Moisturize the lower back of my hair more. When I say lower back I mean the part below my layers....
- No more tight updos! They are causing tension and breakage in that area.
- Dcing/Prepooing on dry hair/add extra conditioner to problem ends/areas
- ***Will start doing hot oil treatments***
- Started Hair, Skin, and Nails Vitamin
I have 4 weeks left to make a difference and I aim to do so! And by the way.....
THIS IS MY 100TH POST! YAY!!!!! IT TOOK LONG ENOUGH...LOL.
Good nizzle,
K.D.
