hair not growing

by Keisha
(Oklahoma City, Oklahoma)

Hi,

I have been having a problem with my hair not growing and it has been like this for about 5 years at least.

My hair sheds horribly; while combing, while relaxing, while shampooing, and while styling. I don't use hot tools everyday because I try my best to keep it wrapped at night with a satin scarf but it still falls out.

From the bottom of my nape all the way up to about 2 inches or more is very short (1/2 long) the rest of my hair is longer where it covers up the brokenness. Now it's breaking on the sides and front hairline about the same length.

Please help me and tell what relaxers and products can heal and grow my hair back. Sorry I don't have a picture.

Hi Keisha,

I am sorry to hear about the problems you're having with your hair.

You say that you don't use tools everyday but how often are you using them? I would suggest limiting or eliminating heat styling altogether. Try rollersetting your hair instead.

I would also take into consideration how often you are relaxing your hair. You could be relaxing it too often or not often enough.

When is the last time you did a protein treatment on your hair? I don't mean anything strong like Aphogee - but ORS Hair Mayo is a great protein treatment that will strengthen your hair and help with the shedding.

I have also heard a lot about
Nutrine Garlic Shampoo for shedding help.
