I've seriously gone crazy worrying about my brittle split end/thick hair and I need some advice on what to do from anyone willing to throw in their 10 cents on the matter. Here's my story:
1 Year ago I bought an electric trimmer that I was planning on using for certain parts of my body, not my head until I made a huge mistake by deciding that I wanted to try and shave the hair off my head by using it. So foolishly I did, not to the point that it was all off but their was minimal hair left on my head, I wasn't bald. So anyways what grew in was this brittle week hair that sticks up in weird places all over, can't hold any styles, and is overall HORRIBLE. I've had haircuts, tried using protein shampoo's and conditioners but I think my hair may all be split ends because it's really out of control to the point I almost want to shave it all off.
So I guess my question is, am I screwed for life? This has really been the thorn in my brain for some time now and not ever being able to grow my hair long because it comes out so thick/brittle/ and unruly is really bothering me. I swear I'd do anything to have healthy hair again.
what i would say, is shave it all off and it will probably grow back the right way. but have it shaved off for you, and the hair place. then has it's growing in us a good shampoo and conditioner.

Helpful answered Wednesday July 5 2006, 10:56 am: All I can say is that maybe you SHOULD cut it all off. I've heard of people losing all their hair (Haircut or chemo) and then it grew back differently than before, So maybe you will have to cut it that short again and see what happens. Or maybe you just need to cut past the split ends. Hope I helped! [ Helpful's advice column | Ask Helpful A Question ]
