Co-washing does not wash off dirtiness. Co-washing is just to soften your hair through the week. Shampoo is like body wash for a shower to clean your body. Co-washing is like putting on lotion when you get ashy. You wouldn't just lotion everyday right? You'd be extremely dirty even if you're soft and smell good. :) Point I'm making: You need to shampoo :)
I gave up the natural life because it was so complicated and the products are super pricey at times. Now that I'm relaxed, I have to reach myself how to take care of it. Currently experiancing breakage and this video was on point. Especially when you said you were also protein sensitive, finally someone understands what that really means....thanks
I moved to Australia and my hair grew like crazy. I didn't use ANY heating utensils... just washed, conditioned and wore naturally for 8 months. I come back to America and POOF!!! Breaks off like crazy. I have EXCESSIVE breakage. I mean going from 12 inches to a half inch in most spots. I'd say about 40% of my head and its devastating being that it grew about 4-5 inches while I was overseas and I did absolutely nothing to it. I never wrapped it at night, never put any oil in it. It was simply shampoo, conditioner, and a leave in conditioner. Plus 90-100 degrees everyday but I was fine and it grew like crazy. What I made the difference... Different products here in the states, different water (yes water)... I was showering with rainforest water and now its back to this chemical faucet water (no I'm not crazy lol), food and nutrution is different there, no polution (again I'm sure I sound crazy but I lived in the tropics so going from that to a polluted city I think makes the difference. Sure has on my skin!!!) Solution... idk that's why I'm here lol I'M DESPERATE. It was broken off like crazy when I landed in Australia and grew heavily so I'm going to try to do as much as possible to get it back and try to go back to whatever I was doing overseas. I just think as far as climate and products alot of it is out of my control :(
I had long hair now it's shorter and thinner from hair breakage for about a year nothing is working I'm on supplements etc. I thank you so much for the awesome tips. Excellent video. Bless you
This video is absolutely amazing. I've been spacing out my relaxers quite a bit and it's done wonders for the thickness and overall health of my hair. Also HAIRFINITY????? Ugh, i looove the stuff. my hair has grown so much especially when i do my 3 or so month protective styles. Love your channel and I love you! New subbie.
Hey luv! Awww...thanks a million! YES I love HairFinity!! Great job luv...I'm so excited for you! Thanks sooooooooooooo much for loving my channel and subbing!!! Appreciate you watching and commenting!
Hey there, thank you for posting this video ! I have transitioning hair and my hair sucks right now so this helped a lot with finding a way to prevent the breakage. You know there's one way to straighten your hair without the use of a flat iron or blow drier of any kind what so ever. My mom used to do this when she went to a boarding school in Belgium and what she did was she sectioned her into small parts and tie a thread (for sewing) tightly at the roots, and ravel it down to the end her hair. It's a pain in the ass when doing it the first few times but the moment you wake up the next morning and unravel it (which is usually fun), the results are so worth it.
This Video Is The BOMB, I Absolutely Love This! This Is All I Need To Get My Hair Back On Track. I Moved To Another State And My Hair Has Broken Off Tremendously And I'm Skeptical About Seeing A New Hair Stylist. I Will Follow These Steps. THANK YOU SO MUCH DARLING FOR SHARING THIS!
Hello Diva! & thanks for the great tips on hair breakage. One thing that I know about my hair is that when I experience more shedding & hair breakage than normal I do an Alphogee 2 step protein treatment & the shedding & breakage stop immediately!
Thanks for this. All of my hair just recently broke off in the middle of my head due to over process with a relaxer to keep my short hairstyle sleek. I am looking for ways to fix my damaged hair, stop the breakage, and grow it back. I may have to cut it all off due to the excessive breakage, but your videos give me hope that it will grow back sooner than I think.
Hey luv! I'm glad it helps you! I'm sorry to hear about the breakage...I'm wishing you a very healthy hair journey! All I can say is do what's best for you! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Thank so much! You made me realize what I'm doing to my hair! Because when I straighten it ,cause I have nautically curly hair, I got breakage all over my hair. I just had little hairs sticking up everywhere! So thanks so much! You're really helpful!☺️
this video was extremely helpful even though i knew everything i always sit down at my computer for hours a day just learning about hair and textures and types and products and its nice to remind myself what i need to be doing to help my hair
I'm so glad I just found this video. I know I over manipulate my hair at times. I try to fix my hair too much and I'm not gentle. Watching embrace natural beauty's channel the way she handles her hair. It's so gentle and relaxing to boot. Lol. Thank you for this video Another thing I did was slick back my hair when sopping wet and when my hair dried it shrink therefore break off especially on my sides. Oh and finding the right balance has always been a struggle. I'm protein sensitive also.
"So if you're ruff and tuff with your afro puffs" 😂 loool. I love your personality and this video really helped me with my breakage. I have type 3b/3c hair and my breakage and split ends were crazyyy. Turns out I wasn't moisturising and sealing correctly. So I've just trimmed the horrible brittle ends off and moisturised and sealed, I have to say my hair definitely feels and looks much better. And.. No more breakage! ☺️
Danika-Mae Patterson Hey luv! lol...thanks a million! I am so elated to hear that you have no more breakage. Sometimes its just a simple fix. I thank you very much for watching!
great info.. I had lots of breakage. I thought at first it was shedding but soon realized that it was not. So I went on a research frenzy and you are so right there are so many videos about breakage, but not the many causes of it. I finally figured out that it was my detangling process and that i need some sort of protein treatment.
A good sulfate free shampoo that has helped me is the Cream of Nature sulfate free shampoo. Sold at Wal-Mart or Sally's. It won't strip your hair because it's sulfate free. Good Luck
Great video with lots of valuable info and explanations that bring clarity to some of the hair challenges being experienced. Gonna get started on the weekly protein treatments in an attempt to address breakage and shedding. Subscribed! looking forward to more great tips. Thanks again.
thank you so much, this really helped me. i’m only twelve and i do a lot of really cute hairstyles; which also include ones that require multiple hairties, which make it tight. my hair has been like 1 1/2 inches in the middle of my head i’ve been really upset. mostly because my mom has been saying that i have to get a weave put in so that my hair will grow out and i personally don’t think that a weave will look good in my hair. i have always had my hair natural and i don’t like the texture of weave. i was thinking maybe i can do two braids and it won’t look so mad but this video really helped me and i will for sure show my mom this video, hopefully i won’t have to get a weave put in. thank you so much 😘 much love. 💙
heygurl2712 "Hey luv" Thanks a million...lol! I'm glad it was helpful...that puts a smile on my face. Thanks sooooooooooo much for watching and commenting!
Hello I started to grow my hair out I got a good amount of hair now but when I wash it I start seeing a lot of breaking hair my hair get curly when I wash it I like to pick it out with a metal pic and I would see a lot of hair in the pic I wash my hair with Shea moisture coconut & hibiscus I don't know if it's the shampoo I'm using or if I'm picking out my hair to hard and how many time should I wash my hair once a week or twice a week thank you and I'm a dude but I like my head to look nice
David try to only wash once a week , I only shampoo once a week but I condition 4-6 times a week, it made a huge difference in my hairs dryness and breakage
Keratin 2 minute reconstructor is the bomb. It takes me more than 10 minutes to even put it on my so I leave it in for 5 minutes lol. My hair is softer and moisture sits in my strands. I love it girl, its a staple for me also!
You are so eloquent! This video was helpful to me on so many levels. I love how you stay on topic and are so well spoken. Thanks for this informative video :-)
heygurl2712 "Hey luv" its so funny you asked about Hairfinity. I have a video I will be uploading next week about a Hairfinity challenge I am doing and my experience using it in the past. Stay tuned. I love Hairfinity but it reacts differently on some people.
I have had spots of alopecia for 2 years now and ı have tried everything nothing worked until now ı am not sure which one is working the " arganl ife. argan oil or arganl ife. hair loss treatment. Because I am using both but on monday the 7th ı noticed peach fuss on all of the alopecia spots; I was surprised and will continue to use both products.
what about if you trim your hair every time You get it done. I get my hair done relaxed Evey 3 months some times longer when decide to get my hair braided
Hi, my hair had been breaking off,I don't use any heating tools and my hair is naturally oily I started taking vitamins for hair,skin,nails. I also been doing treatments like using coconut oil, I think it could be because of my poor diet well I just started to eat foods that help and nurturing my hair to see if that helps because I just don't know why my hair is breaking off....TFS.
beauty craze I'm in the same boat It started all of a sudden. I'm using vitamins with biotin & moisturizing like no other, so I'm confused. So I'm evaluating what I've done recently, that may have caused this. Ugh!
I loved your video! I would also recommend using Nutress Hair Products. Their whole hair care line is dedicated to stopping breakage. I absolutely love their products ! My hair is healthier than ever. No breakage, minimal shedding, and very strong :)
Hair Junkie 101 Hey luv! Awww...thanks a million! Cool beans...I truly appreciate your suggestion. Thanks sooooo much for sharing, watching and commenting.
I do the apogee 2 step. Allow it to air dry first, then hit it with a blow dryer for about a min or 2 at the very end. Works the same. Less heat. Im not gonna do a dryer for a half hr. Every 6-8wks. Daily lite moisturizing b4 bed. Imperative! Also don't let hair get dried out, then say i should condit now. No! Its gonna break. Dont let it get to that point. Be consistent with lite bedtime condit/oil. Also my house is very dry inside. Sucks the moisture out of hair/skin. I got a new furnace so that took care of that. Or crack a window to get humidity in yor house every day. Hair scarf/pillow case. Also if yor nails are breaking yor low on calcium. Why not hair? It's the same. Also biotin/vit b/d pills for growth. Also a shower filter if you have hard water. If u have rings in yor toilet, can't get glasses clear in d/w you have hard water. Salts/minerals deposit on yor hair and dry the motha out of it.
I was not washing my hair as often to save it from breaking. It didn't need the wash but it needed the water/conditioner. So I was letting it get drird out. I use lco method now. Deep condit on weekend. No more breaking
thanks my hair is getting thicker again because of this im gonna grow it out all natural dark and curly again and this was the best video i could find on youtube so thankyou very much
Julie Elizabeth Hey luv! Awwww...thanks a million! I really appreciate the compliment. I'm glad it was helpful. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
u just confirmed all the things I do that just to me make sense but i never hear anyone on youtube saying them. Like if i have to give in and flat iron my edges I will separate them from the rest of my hair and wash the edge control out. SO MANY people just run the flat iron right over their edges....i used to do this because in my mind if i could no longer see the edge control that meant it wasn't there. I learned the hard way unfortunately smh....
You have saved me with this list of light protein treatments. I retouched my hair in December and it has not been happy since. But I also know that my hair hates protein. A teeny bit and it swings the balance too the other extreme that it still breaks. So far only ORS conditioner and Hair Mayonnaise for deep treatment seem to work on my hair. Thanks
Thanks kindly you are very resourceful and classy. My hair does not like v05. I am not relaxed but my hair is breaking badly. Don't use heat other than when deep conditioning. That was my thought today I did faux locks and my hair was so long and mousterized by the time I took out. I was less stressed too. I always color hair but has never experienced the severity of breakage. I think I will wash only 2 times a mo and co wash 2 time my hair used to like that and stay away from rice water.
Hey luv! Thank you so very much! Ok...yes try using products with majority moisture and do some hot oil treatments. Thanks a million luv...appreciate the blessing. May you be blessed in abundance of everything you need and desire. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
ALSO!!!! make sure that you rotate the way that you tie your scarf! I was experiencing so much breakage near the nape of my neck, and I couldn't figure out why for the longest time. I have pixie cut short hair, so my favorite way protective style is to wear scarves, and finally, a few months ago, a friend pointed out to me that my hair was probably breaking (it was only breaking in that one spot, and more or less totally healthy everywhere else) because I was constantly wearing scarves, which was constantly putting pressure on only one part of my hair. I started alternating (tying it in the back for a day or two, then tying it in the front for a day or two...) and using the cantu shea butter cream and viola! in just a month or two I went from literally having a bald spot at the back of my head (oh yeah, it was bad.) to growing it back to the length it was before the breakage.
Hey luv! ABSOLUTELY!!! Couldn't agree with you more...I touched on this in my video on how to take care of your hair under wigs and sew-ins. I'm am so happy you figured out the source of the problem and was able to correct it...great job! Wishing you a very prosperous hair journey luv! Thanks so much for sharing, watching and commenting!
This video was amazingly informative and I thank you for your tips and for sharing your experiences. My hair has been breaking and I am going to put your instructions to use tonight.
Hey luv! I'm glad it was able to help you. Keep me posted on your progress and feel free to reach out to me with questions. Thanks sooooo very much for watching!
love this video. can you do a protective style in the midst of having extreme breakage? I can do a bun for a week but of course moisturizing and sealing good enough to last the week
Thank you so much for this video it was really informative. I'm a bit late but better late than never I am trying so hard to combat this breakage I'm experiencing and you really just pointing out everything I may be doing wrong
awesome video. Everything you stated was very true. You have definitely inspired me to take better care of my hair. Maybe buying a satin scarf is a starter.
Thanks for your video--it was quite helpful. I'm transitioning from a relaxer which I normally put in 5-6 months. I color gray. My hair started to break--I don't know why but I'm trying to stop it. I discovered my hair is low porosity but I don't know the type. It's difficult because there's still relaxer in my hair--it's grown out about an inch or two. I plan to try a protein treatment today and see if that stops breakage. Thanks again for the information--I did subscribe.
Thank You so much for this video and information even though it was lengthy it was great information and helped me out in a big way ! I love your attitude and your hair story is very encouraging and keep it up your hair looks Great !
Hey luv! Thanks for reaching out to me. You know you have me cracking up at "even though it was lengthy" lmbo. Its like I wanted to be thorough because I know hair breakage for me was so frustrating but that was a long video. My beginning vids are a little lengthy and I recognized that after the fact and now I try to keep them short...lol! I appreciate your feedback. I'm so glad it was able to help you. Thanks you sooooo much for your compliments and for watching it. It really means a lot to me. Thank you!
Hey luv! Awww...thanks a million for this comment! This really encourages me to keep trying to help people through my mistakes and experiences. You have made my day luv! I appreciate you watching so very much!
thank you so very much for this video it was very informative for me I will sure try some of the tips. I just permed my virgin hair about a week ago. I did all that natural hair thing for almost four years, but I got tired and I made the decision to go back to the perming style I couldn't do anything with it lol...happy new year
hair breakage is real and it's something that I struggled with when I first tried going natural last summer after going strong for 6 months and I was so frustrated that I went to the salon so confused bad choice and decided to get a perm and then she cut it into a short bob because I needed to start over. but I decided to try again and now I'm 6 months post since then and trying to transition for a year !
Hey luv! How is everything going now with the breakage? Its all about using the right products and having the right balance of protein and moisture. If I can help you with your transition just reach out to me. You can do it! =) Thanks so much for watching and sharing luv!
Hey! I enjoyed this vid♥♥ my question is when my relaxed hair is not flat ironed, how can i maintain movement. i noticed that if my hair isn't freshly washed, deep conditioned, blow dried and flat ironed, it wont be flowy and everything. but i don't wan to flat iron it every week. So how can i give my hair that body that yours has without flat ironing or using a blow dryer. Also, my hair gets stiff all the time. i try not to use product in my hair but it's still stiff, especially the front of my hair. for some reason, the back and the middle is longer, and more flowy even when my hair isn't flat ironed bu tthe front is STIFF! any tips? Thanks
It's definitely how I detangle. I switched combs and saw a huge difference. Also...My hair gets really oily literally a day and a half after its washed. Help?
Hey luv! Awww...yeah I have a friend that cannot take it either due to excessive shedding. I love it. You may not want to risk it but you can try taking it with MSM and Vitamin C which is supposed to help with shedding. I'd rather you be safe though. Thanks a million for watching and commenting luv!
Thank you so much. Now I think that I know why my hair is breaking. I do not do protein treatments much at all. Actually like 3 times in almost 2 years. I am going to try that to see if I can stop the breakage. I just cut 1 inch today.......did it in Jan or Dec as well and before that in august of last year. My ends were thinning out. But thanks a million.
No prob luv! I'm glad this video was able to help you. Keep me posted on your ends and let me know if you have any questions. Feel free to message me here on RUclips or Facebook. Thanks so much for watching luv! xoxo
I am a mixed girl. Not sure of my curl pattern (I'm thinking 3c to 4a) I have breakage. I relax. I am trying to grow my hair. Such a pain. I haven't had a relaxer in probably 6 to 7 months. I need a trim so bad. I'm growing out a stacked Bob. I'm seriously now just wearing headbands because I'm trying to lay off heat. I haven't even colored in I don't know how long. I'm about ready to chop it, start over and wear wigs. My husband would murder me LoL. But that's my last resort.
I like aphogee green tea keratin spray. I like how it helps my permed hair. I definitely think that when the hair is permed, many may need more protein. It really helps my hair.
Hey luv! I wonder if my hair if would like it...lol! hmmm! Sounds amazing! I am very protein sensitive and even my relaxed hair didn't like to much protein. But YES you are right...relaxed hair does require more protein because a lot is lost during the relaxing process. I'm so glad you have something that you know works for you. Thanks for sharing luv! I appreciate you watching!
i have been really paying attention to my curls because im trying to get waist length. ive done so many changes and experience significantly less breakage over the past several months. i still see some breakage, so im going to try a light protein treatment :) i haven't tried that yet. i deep condition and i LOVE the shea butter moisturizer as well, i use that as a leave in now. & i'll try my best to use more protective styles, but its hard to not touch my hair!!
Hey luv! How did the light protein treatment work? lol...I completely understand, yes its hard not to touch our hair. I hope you are now experiencing less breakage. Thanks a million for watching and sharing luv!
Please the champoo and Co washing with deep conditioning which you said once a week, is it the same week or the co washing with deep conditioning follows the other week?. Thanks
Hey luv! That is a good one...now that I am 100% natural I'm not sure how my hair will respond to it but I wouldn't mind trying it. Thanks for watching!
My hair got baby thin like new born baby hair using Wen shampoo. I quit using it and started using a shampoo with protein in it and it has helped. Based on your information i will be getting a protein treatment to use. The Wen is ONLY oils...lots of moisture, but NO protein. What you say makes since in my case. Thanks for the info.! :)
I love this video so much! Very informative! I have naturally highly porous hair which I also color but I find that breakage occurs when I detangle it wet and that's probably why I can't retain length. When my hair is wet, it loses all elasticity and snaps no matter how gentle I am with it or how much conditioner I detangle with. I want to try dry detangling but I'm not sure how to do that. I brought a Tangle Teezer and a Denman brush which I removed every other row of teeth on and I hope that helps better with detangling. Do you have an articles or tips on dry detangling that I could use?
BlizzardxThexWolf Hey luv! Awww...thanks a million! I would suggest dry detangling with an oil or list mist and oil, being sure to finger detangle first and then start from the ends and work your way up with your detangling tool. I hope this helps you...keep me posted on your results and progress. Thanks so much for watching and reaching out to me luv!
I need help! I've been natural for 3 years and recently I died my hair and put a keratin deep treatment in my hair and straightened it and now my roots are all pin start even when it's wet. It has now been 3 months since then I'm starting to have new growth but my hair is STILL breaking off a lot. My hair feels thinner then normal. I've tried the aphogee protein treatment 2x since January, I do moisture treatments 2x a week (store bought mask & homemade), im very gentle with my hair, trimmed my ends, I've used the azetec clay & ive used the aphogee 2min reconstruction for 5 mins and it seems to be that NOTHING is working. The parts that aren't straight aren't even back to its normal curl pattern. I have RUclips videos on my hair. Please any suggestions because I'm losing it. 😭
I do not have the same hair texture as you, i assume mine is shedding from heat and coloring and bleaching. My roots have grown out but it's shedding a little. I hope this works.
OMGGGG your video was sooooooooo helpful! I've watched so many videos on youtube about how to reduce hair breakage, and yours was the only one I really understood!!!! I'm trying to grow my hair as well, so I'm going to take all your advice!!! Going out and buying a silk/satin pillow case ASAP...cause I loooovvvveeee to sleep. Thanks once again :) P.s you're funny :)
Hey luv! Awwww...thanks a million! I wanted to give as much detailed info as I could without it being information overload...lol! I'm so glad it was able to help you. If you have questions don't hesitate to ask luv! Yes I love my satin pillow-cases...lol! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Tatyana Shania My stylist said the same. He said folks are getting rich from the cowash trend.
Nive video but background music is quite irratating.
I gave up the natural life because it was so complicated and the products are super pricey at times. Now that I'm relaxed, I have to reach myself how to take care of it. Currently experiancing breakage and this video was on point. Especially when you said you were also protein sensitive, finally someone understands what that really means....thanks
I moved to Australia and my hair grew like crazy. I didn't use ANY heating utensils... just washed, conditioned and wore naturally for 8 months. I come back to America and POOF!!!

It was simply shampoo, conditioner, and a leave in conditioner. Plus 90-100 degrees everyday but I was fine and it grew like crazy.
What I made the difference...
Different products here in the states, different water (yes water)... I was showering with rainforest water and now its back to this chemical faucet water (no I'm not crazy lol), food and nutrution is different there, no polution (again I'm sure I sound crazy but I lived in the tropics so going from that to a polluted city I think makes the difference. Sure has on my skin!!!)
Solution...
idk that's why I'm here lol I'M DESPERATE. It was broken off like crazy when I landed in Australia and grew heavily so I'm going to try to do as much as possible to get it back and try to go back to whatever I was doing overseas. I just think as far as climate and products alot of it is out of my control :(

The Apogee didn't work for me either 😌😌
I love this video. Last year in November 2018 I finally found out, how to stop breakage and too much shedding. You've got yourself a new subscriber 😃
excuse my language but these are some good ass tips
.thanks

A good sulfate free shampoo that has helped me is the Cream of Nature sulfate free shampoo. Sold at Wal-Mart or Sally's. It won't strip your hair because it's sulfate free. Good Luck
Hey luv! I haven't tried that one...thanks for the suggestion. I appreciate you watching and sharing!
Love your voice, skin flawless. Thnx for posting

Great video with lots of valuable info and explanations that bring clarity to some of the hair challenges being experienced. Gonna get started on the weekly protein treatments in an attempt to address breakage and shedding. Subscribed! looking forward to more great tips. Thanks again.

thank you so much, this really helped me. i’m only twelve and i do a lot of really cute hairstyles; which also include ones that require multiple hairties, which make it tight. my hair has been like 1 1/2 inches in the middle of my head i’ve been really upset. mostly because my mom has been saying that i have to get a weave put in so that my hair will grow out and i personally don’t think that a weave will look good in my hair. i have always had my hair natural and i don’t like the texture of weave. i was thinking maybe i can do two braids and it won’t look so mad but this video really helped me and i will for sure show my mom this video, hopefully i won’t have to get a weave put in. thank you so much 😘 much love. 💙
Love this video. It was packed full of info and its was very easy to follow!
Great presentation. No fluff and all substance. Thank you.

Ela parecer a bela mais feia.
Hello I started to grow my hair out I got a good amount of hair now but when I wash it I start seeing a lot of breaking hair my hair get curly when I wash it I like to pick it out with a metal pic and I would see a lot of hair in the pic I wash my hair with Shea moisture coconut & hibiscus I don't know if it's the shampoo I'm using or if I'm picking out my hair to hard and how many time should I wash my hair once a week or twice a week thank you and I'm a dude but I like my head to look nice
David try to only wash once a week , I only shampoo once a week but I condition 4-6 times a week, it made a huge difference in my hairs dryness and breakage

Keratin 2 minute reconstructor is the bomb. It takes me more than 10 minutes to even put it on my so I leave it in for 5 minutes lol. My hair is softer and moisture sits in my strands. I love it girl, its a staple for me also!
Hey luv! Yes I agree...its that deal! lol! Thanks for watching luv!
You are so eloquent! This video was helpful to me on so many levels. I love how you stay on topic and are so well spoken. Thanks for this informative video :-)
heygurl2712 "Hey luv" its so funny you asked about Hairfinity. I have a video I will be uploading next week about a Hairfinity challenge I am doing and my experience using it in the past. Stay tuned. I love Hairfinity but it reacts differently on some people.
I have had spots of alopecia for 2 years now and ı have tried everything nothing worked until now ı am not sure which one is working the " arganl ife. argan oil or arganl ife. hair loss treatment. Because I am using both but on monday the 7th ı noticed peach fuss on all of the alopecia spots; I was surprised and will continue to use both products.
George Polarsa I am surprised. Argan Life is so much prevailing .
what about if you trim your hair every time You get it done. I get my hair done relaxed Evey 3 months some times longer when decide to get my hair braided
thxx for the video!! i was lost and didnt know what to do.
Hi, my hair had been breaking off,I don't use any heating tools and my hair is naturally oily I started taking vitamins for hair,skin,nails. I also been doing treatments like using coconut oil, I think it could be because of my poor diet well I just started to eat foods that help and nurturing my hair to see if that helps because I just don't know why my hair is breaking off....TFS.
beauty craze I'm in the same boat It started all of a sudden. I'm using vitamins with biotin & moisturizing like no other, so I'm confused. So I'm evaluating what I've done recently, that may have caused this. Ugh!
I loved your video! I would also recommend using Nutress Hair Products. Their whole hair care line is dedicated to stopping breakage. I absolutely love their products ! My hair is healthier than ever. No breakage, minimal shedding, and very strong :)
Hair Junkie 101 Hey luv! Awww...thanks a million! Cool beans...I truly appreciate your suggestion. Thanks sooooo much for sharing, watching and commenting.
I do the apogee 2 step. Allow it to air dry first, then hit it with a blow dryer for about a min or 2 at the very end. Works the same. Less heat. Im not gonna do a dryer for a half hr. Every 6-8wks. Daily lite moisturizing b4 bed. Imperative! Also don't let hair get dried out, then say i should condit now. No! Its gonna break. Dont let it get to that point. Be consistent with lite bedtime condit/oil. Also my house is very dry inside. Sucks the moisture out of hair/skin. I got a new furnace so that took care of that. Or crack a window to get humidity in yor house every day. Hair scarf/pillow case. Also if yor nails are breaking yor low on calcium. Why not hair? It's the same. Also biotin/vit b/d pills for growth. Also a shower filter if you have hard water. If u have rings in yor toilet, can't get glasses clear in d/w you have hard water. Salts/minerals deposit on yor hair and dry the motha out of it.
I was not washing my hair as often to save it from breaking. It didn't need the wash but it needed the water/conditioner. So I was letting it get drird out. I use lco method now. Deep condit on weekend. No more breaking
thanks my hair is getting thicker again because of this im gonna grow it out all natural dark and curly again and this was the best video i could find on youtube so thankyou very much
Which method did you use?
I cant get over your eyelashes, how are they so amazing??? The video was very helpful
Julie Elizabeth Hey luv! Awwww...thanks a million! I really appreciate the compliment. I'm glad it was helpful. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
u just confirmed all the things I do that just to me make sense but i never hear anyone on youtube saying them. Like if i have to give in and flat iron my edges I will separate them from the rest of my hair and wash the edge control out. SO MANY people just run the flat iron right over their edges....i used to do this because in my mind if i could no longer see the edge control that meant it wasn't there. I learned the hard way unfortunately smh....
You have saved me with this list of light protein treatments. I retouched my hair in December and it has not been happy since. But I also know that my hair hates protein. A teeny bit and it swings the balance too the other extreme that it still breaks. So far only ORS conditioner and Hair Mayonnaise for deep treatment seem to work on my hair. Thanks
Thanks kindly you are very resourceful and classy. My hair does not like v05. I am not relaxed but my hair is breaking badly. Don't use heat other than when deep conditioning. That was my thought today I did faux locks and my hair was so long and mousterized by the time I took out. I was less stressed too. I always color hair but has never experienced the severity of breakage. I think I will wash only 2 times a mo and co wash 2 time my hair used to like that and stay away from rice water.
Oh my goodness, this video was so helpful!!! Thank you soo much! And you're beautiful too. God bless:)
_Superhairfood anti hair loss shampoo a difference since I have used it..highly recommend. !!!! I'm very glad I found this product. It's a must get_
hey sis! glad you're back! love the hair style...... chic!
This was very helpful! I think I have protein overload and need to correct that immediately! Very inspiring and informative! Bless You Girl!
Hey luv! Thank you so very much! Ok...yes try using products with majority moisture and do some hot oil treatments. Thanks a million luv...appreciate the blessing. May you be blessed in abundance of everything you need and desire. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
ALSO!!!! make sure that you rotate the way that you tie your scarf!
I was experiencing so much breakage near the nape of my neck, and I couldn't figure out why for the longest time.
I have pixie cut short hair, so my favorite way protective style is to wear scarves, and finally, a few months ago, a friend pointed out to me that my hair was probably breaking (it was only breaking in that one spot, and more or less totally healthy everywhere else) because I was constantly wearing scarves, which was constantly putting pressure on only one part of my hair.
I started alternating (tying it in the back for a day or two, then tying it in the front for a day or two...) and using the cantu shea butter cream and viola! in just a month or two I went from literally having a bald spot at the back of my head (oh yeah, it was bad.) to growing it back to the length it was before the breakage.
Hey luv! ABSOLUTELY!!! Couldn't agree with you more...I touched on this in my video on how to take care of your hair under wigs and sew-ins. I'm am so happy you figured out the source of the problem and was able to correct it...great job! Wishing you a very prosperous hair journey luv! Thanks so much for sharing, watching and commenting!
I know you posted this so long ago, but thank you so much for this video! This put almost everything I was asking into one video!
The info you give in this video is great and very helpful!! Great video!
Thanks ! yes I might just email you and let ask more questions I don't want to fill up the comment section of this video but thanks for your help!
Either way is fine luv! You may have a question that could help someone else. I'm fine with either way =)
This video was amazingly informative and I thank you for your tips and for sharing your experiences. My hair has been breaking and I am going to put your instructions to use tonight.
Hey luv! I'm glad it was able to help you. Keep me posted on your progress and feel free to reach out to me with questions. Thanks sooooo very much for watching!
love this video. can you do a protective style in the midst of having extreme breakage? I can do a bun for a week but of course moisturizing and sealing good enough to last the week
Thank you so much for this video it was really informative. I'm a bit late but better late than never I am trying so hard to combat this breakage I'm experiencing and you really just pointing out everything I may be doing wrong
This was very helpful!! My hair keeps breaking and it's driving me crazy.
Hey luv! I'm glad it helps you. I know the feeling! Keep me posted on your progress. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
wonderful video and I have locs! Hopefully the websites you recommend have info on maintaining healthy locs
awesome video. Everything you stated was very true. You have definitely inspired me to take better care of my hair. Maybe buying a satin scarf is a starter.
Thanks for your video--it was quite helpful. I'm transitioning from a relaxer which I normally put in 5-6 months. I color gray. My hair started to break--I don't know why but I'm trying to stop it. I discovered my hair is low porosity but I don't know the type. It's difficult because there's still relaxer in my hair--it's grown out about an inch or two. I plan to try a protein treatment today and see if that stops breakage. Thanks again for the information--I did subscribe.
Loved this! =] Shea Moisture products are awesome! I just ombred my hair so it has been breaking like crazy! This helped a lot! thanks doll! =]
Hey luv! Awww...no prob! Thanks a million luv! Glad it helped. Truly appreciate you watching and commenting!

Hey luv! Thanks for reaching out to me. You know you have me cracking up at "even though it was lengthy" lmbo. Its like I wanted to be thorough because I know hair breakage for me was so frustrating but that was a long video. My beginning vids are a little lengthy and I recognized that after the fact and now I try to keep them short...lol! I appreciate your feedback. I'm so glad it was able to help you. Thanks you sooooo much for your compliments and for watching it. It really means a lot to me. Thank you!
Your video is awesome- the realest yet! logical, funny, and HELPFUL

Hey luv! Awww...thanks a million for this comment! This really encourages me to keep trying to help people through my mistakes and experiences. You have made my day luv! I appreciate you watching so very much!
thank you so very much for this video it was very informative for me I will sure try some of the tips. I just permed my virgin hair about a week ago. I did all that natural hair thing for almost four years, but I got tired and I made the decision to go back to the perming style I couldn't do anything with it lol...happy new year
Hey you can try Herboo Shampoo that doesn't have any of the chemicals that dries out the hair.
hair breakage is real and it's something that I struggled with when I first tried going natural last summer after going strong for 6 months and I was so frustrated that I went to the salon so confused bad choice and decided to get a perm and then she cut it into a short bob because I needed to start over. but I decided to try again and now I'm 6 months post since then and trying to transition for a year !
Hey luv! How is everything going now with the breakage? Its all about using the right products and having the right balance of protein and moisture. If I can help you with your transition just reach out to me. You can do it! =) Thanks so much for watching and sharing luv!
Hey! I enjoyed this vid♥♥ my question is when my relaxed hair is not flat ironed, how can i maintain movement. i noticed that if my hair isn't freshly washed, deep conditioned, blow dried and flat ironed, it wont be flowy and everything. but i don't wan to flat iron it every week. So how can i give my hair that body that yours has without flat ironing or using a blow dryer. Also, my hair gets stiff all the time. i try not to use product in my hair but it's still stiff, especially the front of my hair. for some reason, the back and the middle is longer, and more flowy even when my hair isn't flat ironed bu tthe front is STIFF! any tips?
Thanks
It's definitely how I detangle. I switched combs and saw a huge difference. Also...My hair gets really oily literally a day and a half after its washed. Help?
Hairfinity causes MY hair to shed excessively. Some love it. I gave mine away,
Hey luv! Awww...yeah I have a friend that cannot take it either due to excessive shedding. I love it. You may not want to risk it but you can try taking it with MSM and Vitamin C which is supposed to help with shedding. I'd rather you be safe though. Thanks a million for watching and commenting luv!
Thank you for sharing, this was helpful, I use Nexxus reconstructor treatment and it has really help my help from stop breakage.

Miata Jones Hey luv! No problem! Thanks a million for watching and commenting!
What relaxer would you reckoned to a fine to course hair?
Thank you sooooooo much. Extremely helpful and I needed it!
Thank you so much. Now I think that I know why my hair is breaking. I do not do protein treatments much at all. Actually like 3 times in almost 2 years. I am going to try that to see if I can stop the breakage. I just cut 1 inch today.......did it in Jan or Dec as well and before that in august of last year. My ends were thinning out. But thanks a million.
No prob luv! I'm glad this video was able to help you. Keep me posted on your ends and let me know if you have any questions. Feel free to message me here on RUclips or Facebook. Thanks so much for watching luv! xoxo
I am a mixed girl. Not sure of my curl pattern (I'm thinking 3c to 4a) I have breakage. I relax. I am trying to grow my hair. Such a pain. I haven't had a relaxer in probably 6 to 7 months. I need a trim so bad. I'm growing out a stacked Bob. I'm seriously now just wearing headbands because I'm trying to lay off heat. I haven't even colored in I don't know how long. I'm about ready to chop it, start over and wear wigs. My husband would murder me LoL. But that's my last resort.
Wonderful video. Thank! You! for everything.
I like aphogee green tea keratin spray. I like how it helps my permed hair. I definitely think that when the hair is permed, many may need more protein. It really helps my hair.
Hey luv! I wonder if my hair if would like it...lol! hmmm! Sounds amazing! I am very protein sensitive and even my relaxed hair didn't like to much protein. But YES you are right...relaxed hair does require more protein because a lot is lost during the relaxing process. I'm so glad you have something that you know works for you. Thanks for sharing luv! I appreciate you watching!
This was so helpful.
What false lashes do you use. I love. Them. Omg.
CupcakeGoBoom Hey luv! Awww...thank you! In this video they are the winged lashes by Ariel (human hair). Thanks a million for watching!

Hi there, I just wanted to thank you for your informative video. You offered some useful insight, and I do appreciate it. Sofia
Very informative!!! Thank you!!
Thank you so much, this video is so incredibly helpful 😊❤️
i have been really paying attention to my curls because im trying to get waist length. ive done so many changes and experience significantly less breakage over the past several months. i still see some breakage, so im going to try a light protein treatment :) i haven't tried that yet. i deep condition and i LOVE the shea butter moisturizer as well, i use that as a leave in now. & i'll try my best to use more protective styles, but its hard to not touch my hair!!
Hey luv! How did the light protein treatment work? lol...I completely understand, yes its hard not to touch our hair. I hope you are now experiencing less breakage. Thanks a million for watching and sharing luv!
Please the champoo and Co washing with deep conditioning which you said once a week, is it the same week or the co washing with deep conditioning follows the other week?. Thanks
Neutrogena triple moisture is really good however it does contain sulfate. So use at your own risk.
Hey luv! That is a good one...now that I am 100% natural I'm not sure how my hair will respond to it but I wouldn't mind trying it. Thanks for watching!
Hey Fly girl!!!!!!!!!!!! After you use the Aphogee 2min reconstructor do you deep condition??
Hey luv! lol! Yes I deep condition after because its a protein and I need the moisture balance. Thanks a million for watching, hope this helps.
Great tips! Love those lashes!!!
Kiki Honey Darling Thanks a million luv! Appreciate you very much for watching!
So informative!!!!! And a great inspiration!
My hair got baby thin like new born baby hair using Wen shampoo. I quit using it and started using a shampoo with protein in it and it has helped. Based on your information i will be getting a protein treatment to use. The Wen is ONLY oils...lots of moisture, but NO protein. What you say makes since in my case. Thanks for the info.! :)
I love this video so much! Very informative! I have naturally highly porous hair which I also color but I find that breakage occurs when I detangle it wet and that's probably why I can't retain length. When my hair is wet, it loses all elasticity and snaps no matter how gentle I am with it or how much conditioner I detangle with. I want to try dry detangling but I'm not sure how to do that. I brought a Tangle Teezer and a Denman brush which I removed every other row of teeth on and I hope that helps better with detangling. Do you have an articles or tips on dry detangling that I could use?
BlizzardxThexWolf Hey luv! Awww...thanks a million! I would suggest dry detangling with an oil or list mist and oil, being sure to finger detangle first and then start from the ends and work your way up with your detangling tool. I hope this helps you...keep me posted on your results and progress. Thanks so much for watching and reaching out to me luv!
Informative, articulate. great job.
I need help! I've been natural for 3 years and recently I died my hair and put a keratin deep treatment in my hair and straightened it and now my roots are all pin start even when it's wet. It has now been 3 months since then I'm starting to have new growth but my hair is STILL breaking off a lot. My hair feels thinner then normal. I've tried the aphogee protein treatment 2x since January, I do moisture treatments 2x a week (store bought mask & homemade), im very gentle with my hair, trimmed my ends, I've used the azetec clay & ive used the aphogee 2min reconstruction for 5 mins and it seems to be that NOTHING is working. The parts that aren't straight aren't even back to its normal curl pattern. I have RUclips videos on my hair. Please any suggestions because I'm losing it. 😭
Pretty straightforward video!
I do not have the same hair texture as you, i assume mine is shedding from heat and coloring and bleaching. My roots have grown out but it's shedding a little. I hope this works.
What's a good hair moisturizer, the one that goes in before sealing it with an oil?
EricaYE6 i like the cantu curl activator& the moisturizer. Its one thing that doesnt jst sit on top of my hair.
Love your informational video. Thanks this will help me a lot,,,
Tracy Oliver Hey luv! Thanks a million!!!!! I'm glad it will help you. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
do you use the hollywood beauty as a deep conditioner or a daily moisturiser??
I moisturize my hair using aloe vera gel and argan oil or grapeseed oil. My hair loves it. To stop my shedding problems I take Vitamin D3.
Hey luv! ooooh...I must try that! Sounds very moisturizing! Thanks for sharing luv! I appreciate you watching!
i watch this 2 years n today my hair is way better
OMGGGG your video was sooooooooo helpful! I've watched so many videos on youtube about how to reduce hair breakage, and yours was the only one I really understood!!!! I'm trying to grow my hair as well, so I'm going to take all your advice!!! Going out and buying a silk/satin pillow case ASAP...cause I loooovvvveeee to sleep. Thanks once again :) P.s you're funny :)
Hey luv! Awwww...thanks a million! I wanted to give as much detailed info as I could without it being information overload...lol! I'm so glad it was able to help you. If you have questions don't hesitate to ask luv! Yes I love my satin pillow-cases...lol! Thanks for watching and commenting!
