I feel a little relieved

by Lesson learned

Umm, Hi, I am 18 yrs old now and I have texturised my hair twice. The first texturiser was okay and it had started growing out

But then I went ahead and texturised my hair for the second time and I later found out (3 months later) that it had overlapped my first texturiser.

I am now experiencing breaking and I have become so scared of losing my hair. I feel as though I will have to cut it off, it is a huge possibility. But I am scared. I never realised how sensitive I was about my hair before, until now. I can truthfully say that I used to have beautiful afro hair,but now I feel as though I am at a point of no hope.

I have read all the helpful and useful tips on this website and I am grateful I stumbled across it - thanks to browsing on google.

I read that you can cut your hair off and start again - that it does grow back, however I started to read another page and it got me thinking that if I did cut my hair, it would be cut down to my first texturiser and then I have to wait for that to grow out. But will it grow back healthy? Does it grow out then grow again? Im probably answering my own questions but I feel as though I need to be reassured. Would I be better off cutting it and starting again? Or leaving it as it and just expect it to break before it grows again? I am so stuck and helpless.

I understand that the whole process will take time and I have to be patient - I guess that comes with me learning my lesson - in crazily trying to fix something that wasn't broken.

It seems as though it is only know that I am starting to the ask questions - after the damage is done - literally.
