Straw head
Hello there, long time lurker first time poster.
I have extremely coarse curly hair. I am lacking a digital camera so no photos. I am half black and half white, but my hair is very much from the black side of my DNA.
I used to straighten my hair quite a bit, then I tried to chemically straighten using Phytospecfic, which cause my hair to become horribly damaged. That was almost a year ago.
I recently decided to stop straightening my hair altogether, but ever since I've stopped, my hair is coarse and fragile. Left to its own devices it will tangle itself up into nasty dreadlock like knots and the split ends are out of control. I lose so much hair when I brush I am afraid to brush anymore. My hair feels like straw and I've run out of ideas. I am hard-pressed to believe that straightening it was maintaining it's health.
Does anyone have any tips or ideas on how to fix my poor hair?
