My hair has always been past my shoulders since I was 15 and I am 27 now. I have always gotten a relaxer and never tried anything new until now. My hair has been a little fragile but nothing like this. That is why I never wore weave or braids because I knew my hair would break off if I did. I went on a cruise for a week and everyone told me to get braids so I did. I got micro braids and I hadnt had a relaxer in 8 weeks. I only got micros in about 3 rows in the front of my head and I had tracks sewn in the back. 6 weeks later I had everything taken out. After taking it down I got a relaxer. I expected a lot of shedding because I hadnt had a relaxer in 3 1/2 months. But now my hair is extremely thin all over and it barely touches my shoulders. It is especially thin at the ends of my hair. I couldnt even put layers in to thicken it up that is how bad it is. What happened? Was it going without a relaxer for 3 months? Was my hair really just that fragile for micros to begin with? Or was it the weave? I feel bald even though Im not but this is really killing me since I have always had a pretty descent length of hair. Now I am stuggling to get my hair back on track. It is paper thin and it comes a lil bit past the middle of my neck. I thought about just wrapping my hair and wearing a wig for 2 months. Should I just cut it all off in a short hair style? I bought several products from Carol's Daughter and phytospecific vitamins. I havent started using these things yet but any suggestions? Please help....
