I posted in the TT Splitsville thread but am so upset that I want to make a new thread specifically to whine and complain. 
The Tangle Teezer broke my dang heart, y'all. Every time I think something's going to help, get my hopes up, I just get let down. It took the TT longer to let me down, but it eventually did.
I've been using it for 4 months now and can say with a high degree of confidence that it is responsible for all the splits I have now. I have never, EVER seen this many splits on my hair. Not even close. I always said my hair was resistant to splitting because I would hardly see any. It's been getting worse each month. I love the way it detangles so much, love how much faster it detangles, and it has decreased my SSKs so much, that I think I was in denial for a long time because I just wanted to keep using it. I'm still using it
, detangling the last section of my hair. But I'm going to have to cut it out.
It had been a tool for weekly detangling, which is how often I wash my hair. For the past month and a half, I've just been using it every other week. But still, here I am with tons of splits. Even one of those feather kinds, which I had never seen on my hair every. But it's so good at detangling that even now I'm sitting here wondering if it would be okay to use it just once a month. I use it before washing, on hair dampened with a little water and conditioner, just fyi.
And of course, as my hair splits, it breaks more. I mean, now pieces of your hair are only 1/2 their original thickness, so of course it's going to break more easily, right? Unlike so many others, I never have expectations for no breakage. I know my hair breaks no matter what and accept that. But the amount has definitely increased. I just took a picture:
This is just the fallout from just one part of my sink for detangling just 1/3 of my hair. Look at the whole picture, including the top, and you can see it just stretches on. You can safely multiply what you see here by 10 for the amount of breakage I got during this detangling session.
There's no way out of it, I'm going to have to trim deep. AGAIN. Arrrgh, I am so tired of the disappointment.
