What's wrong with my hair????

Does anyone else have problems with their hair? My hair was and still is FRIED! I have cut most of it off to get rid of the frizzies, but it is still not at all like it used to be. And it is now CURLY!!! Grrrrrrrr! I don't like curly! I have always had lots of natural body and I still do, but now it is way curlier than it ever used to be. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there any help for it? What caused it? HELP!!!! I want my old hair back! But I guess if it means I have to have my old body back, then I'll just learn to live with it. Just wanted to know if anyone else has had this same thing happen to them.

I had real bad hair problem also. I also had frizzy hair and thin thin thin. I know our hair is different cuz I am black but the same problems arrize. I used biotin product on my hair and kept getting deep conditioners and you can do that yourself, you know hot oil treatments. You will have to baby your hair more than usual. do a hot oil treatment every week and only use a biotin shampoo and conditioner and a leave in conditioner. It made my hair better but I still opted to cut it all off and am going natural. My hair is now thicker than ever since I did that. NAT

I agree with the last post. Really baby your hair now. I go in for ultra deep conditioning treatments at the salon and I'm there every 8 weeks for a healthy trim to get all the dead and fried ends off. Of course my hair problems are due to a bad perm I got last October but the outcome was the same. Lots of friz and crazy curls. Deep conditioning treatments, regular trims, and try to avoid over styling your hair. let it air dry when possible, only use a curling iron when necessary - go a day or two in between if possible, etc... all of these things will help your hair get back to its healthy state that much faster. Best of luck to you! Jessica

Hi Laura, I had the same thing happen to me, so I cut alot of it off, but when it grew back it still looked like a broom! I hated it. No matter what I did nothing helped. Here is what I ended up doing, and now finally my hair is back to normal!! I started using shampoo every other day instead of daily, although I still use Pantene conditioner every day. I also bought this stuff that really works great! It is called Secret Professional Beauty Creme. I put it on my wet hair every single day, and let it soak in. You don't rinse it off. I let my hair air dry for about 20 minutes, then I blow dry. If I don't blow dry it is too wavy and I don't like the way it looks. (I can and do curl my hair with a curling iron again too). This stuff really worked for me, where other products I tried did not. I buy it online from a place called Avenue You. It is alittle pricey, I buy the large size tube for about $25, but it lasts quite a while. I swear it has made all the difference! Good luck. Anne

Thank you ladies!! I appreciate all your great suggestions. I will keep on with babying my hair and keeping it trimmed and I'm sure soon it will be back to normal. Bless you all!

Hi Laura, I can add to this too. The same thing happened to me. Once I got back my lab results we had the answers. The problem with the bad hair comes from the fact that we eat so much less after surgery, lack of protein and vitamins. I wasn't and still don't do a very good job of taking my daily multi vitamins and my B-12 sublingual sprays so I am constantly walking around zombie like b/c I am so tired and so deficient in everything. Once the Doc put me on the B-12 shot monthly to help me restore my hair has gotten better. Recently I have been losing it again b/c again I got out of my vitamin plan and started being lazy. The hardest thing about this surgery is the huge responsibility that comes with it. We must eat our protein, drink our water and take our vits forever. Your hair will get better but you have to be really aggressive about your vitamins and I also used a product called Nioxin. I got the Shampoo, Conditioner, and this massage leave in thing I think its called reconstructor or something of the sort it was the whole package. You can find it at a beauty supply store or you might even be able to google it!. Good luck. Yoli
