Ladies,
Does anyone have any tips for short styles? I recently cut my hair short in an attempt to get rid of the split ends. I am still being plagued by excessive
breakage and shedding. My current routine is wash every 3 - 4 days with ORS Gentle Aloe shampoo and condition with Pantene Relaxed and Natural Breakage
Defense. I set my hair with Motions foamins setting lotion and air dry and stlye with Wondergro Flat Ironing oil. Then i oil nightly with extra virgin olive
oil or sesame oil.
The area where I am doesn't havea lot of black stylists so i'm pretty much on my own. Any advice and tips you guys could offer will help a lot.

It sounds like your hair needs a lot of moisture and maybe a protein treatment. Try washing your hair once a week. Wash the hair with a moisturizing shampoo,
rinse thoroughly, and towel blot (don't rub). Apply protein treatment; please follow the directions on the package. ApHOGEE Treatment for Damaged Hair is a very popular protein treatment and it's available at your local
beauty supply store or Sally Beauty Supply. After rinsing out the protein treatment and towel blotting the
hair, it is very important to follow with a moisturizing treatment. Apply moisturizing conditioner to the hair, put on a plastic or shower cap, and sit under a
hooded or doom dryer for 30 minutes. Rinse hair with warm water thoroughly. Towel blot hair and style hair (maybe try wet wrapping your hair). If you are using heat now, try not to use it for a while until you
get the breakage under control. Also Motions has a 32-day plan for severe breakage. Here are tips
for regular hair care.
I personally don't like any of Patene Relaxed and Natural line. I haven't tried any of their new stuff though. Motions products are okay. I uses Dudley's and Kera Care products. In the past when I used stuff I could get at Wal-Mart or the dollar store, my hair would suffer. If you have any questions, please ask. |

SO last night I started a hair log to track my regime and product usage. This should help me figure out what works and what doesn't. also, I'm
going to incorporate the motions 32 day plan into my regime. Thanks for the link Sunshine! I'll be sure to keep you ladies posted. I even took pictures for
my log so I can actually SEE what is going on wih my hair.
