I don't know what I'm doing wrong. My regimen is very good, with good quality products, but I still get breakage.
I have 4a hair. The first 4 or 4.5 inches are natural and the last 3 or so inches are texturized. I'm transitioning and will cut the ends off over time.
I shampoo weekly with Aubrey organics gpb shampoo. Once a month I add a tablespoon of baking soda in it to clarify.
After every shampoo I deep condition with honysuckle rose conditioner mixed with pure aloe vera and jojoba oil for 30 minutes under a hetaing cap. For a monthly protein treatment I use Aubrey's gpb condtioner for 20 minutes, then follow with the honeysuckle rose for 30 minutes.
In between washing I wear twist outs. I use jojoba oil, giovanni direct leave in, and aubrey's B5 gel (light hold, natural gel with lots of aloe and B5 in it). Every one or two days I moisturize, oil and retwist my hair. Once and a while I'll wait three days. Sometimes I moisturize and oil it and throw it into ponytails.
I still get breakage. It doesn't stop my hair from growing (i get good growth and I wouldn't say it's severe breakage), but I feel that it would be better if i could stop the breakage. I would say I get about 30 broken hairs every time I comb my hair and 60 every time I wash it.
Any advice for my regimen? Any words of hair wisdom?
