Hello! I'm in a desperate state. I'm a 26-year-old
female and for over a year my hair has
been breaking about 2 inches from the scalp. I originally thought it was
falling out but it's breaking (apparently). I basically have a mullet
because
it breaks near the top of my head.
I've been to hairdressers - 1 put me on Vitamin B complex,
which I've been on for about a year, and another put me on Silica gel which
I've taken daily for 8 months. I've also taken multivitamins for about 2 years.
I've also been to my GP, who did a blood test that came back
normal, including my thyroid.
Facts:
- I have never coloured my hair
- I wash my hair only about 3 times a week, using Nioxin
(about a year on this as well) and no conditioner
- I use Redken leave-in for fine hair
_ I barely ever brush
- My hair used to be quite wavy, but about the same time as
I started losing it it went straight with a few messed up kinks here and there.
- I don't curl my hair, and for a long time I didn't
straighten it either. Now I want to do SOMETHING because it looks so shootty.
But it won't....
- My hair won't hold curls, even with curling gel and
hairspray (I live in Toronto, Canada.... so not exactly a humid place)
- My hair also won't stay straight. Kinks I straighten out
in the morning with a super Chi straightener (that I rarely use because of the
breaking) kink up again in about an hour. In Toronto.
Does anyone know where I can go for help? I'm so upset over
this, I really am...
