My hair is breaking off, REALLY BAD! How can i stop it?

Question

I've tried alot of things including deep conditioning and triming my hair really short, but nothing seems to work.

oh and i dont use heat often, maybe i flat iron my hair like once a month, and thats it.

Answer 1

what heat products are you using? hairdryer/curling tong/straighteners etc???
You need a product that is going to put the moisture back into the hair & a weekly protector.
Below are the items we use on clients etc these are very good & a decent price unless you want to go into the big bucks.
»»»All Soft Shampoo
cleans with an ultra-rich formula that leaves hair soft and smooth.
»»»All Soft Conditioner
smooths, detangles, nourishes and controls frizz for shiny, touchable hair.
»»»All Soft Silk Fuel
durable softening treatment instantly transforms the texture of dry, brittle hair to silky softness. Hair has lasting manageability, supple movement and high-shine.

and
»»»Reconstructor Compatibility and elasticity are restored leaving hair healthier, stronger and more pliable. Increases the longevity of color and texturizing services.
»»» Leave-In Protector

Wash hair with the redken after washing use the conditioner,leave conditioner on for one min after apply the conditioner use your fingers as a comb & comb through the hair.
Use the all soft silk fuel twice a week, after applying to the hair cover hair in cling film (keep the cling film away from the face) & use your dryer evenely over the full head for about 2 mins this will open up the structure of the hair so the product will soak in better.
You need to alternate between the soft silk fuel & the reconstructor
Twice a week use the constructor apply the same as the soft silk fuel with the same method with the cling film & hairdryer.
use the leave inprotector after washing your hair, try limiting to washing your hair every other day not every day & do not comb/brush your hair more than twice a day this can add to the breakage, also we all know we need to use the hairdryer etc but try to limit using it the same with any other heat products your using.

If your wanting the more expensive luxurious shampoos etc use Alterna White Truffle Luxury Shampoo this is very good & the Alterna White Truffle Luxury conditioner you can pick them both up for about $160.

Answer 2

Is your hair still really dry? I understand youve already tried deep conditioning but hair can still be really dry even after deep conditioning. Try this hair mask recipe, mash up an avocado and apply it to your hair. Leave it in for 20 minutes and then rinse out. If this still doesn't work, then look around at your life and perhaps there is a reason why your hair is getting brittle and breaking. Is it diet? stress? your comb? your shampoo or conditioner label? (Sometimes different shampoo and conditioners can ruin your hair) Is it because of the heat?
There are many factors for hair loss and I hope you can find it and fix it! Good luck to you! :-)

Answer 3

i really don't know. i think maybe conditioner and other products. use the really expensive kind. they are always the best. but not the $34 ones. like the $12 to $16 ones. the higher priced ones are just rip offs. and like dandruff shampoos. oh u know what i sometimes do? i get lotion and rub it on my scalp and let it sit there for a few minutes and then i rinse it off. i really worked.

Answer 4

Try Redken Anti-snap

Answer 5

I had the same thing, it was from a bad hair dye. It's better know, I stopped it by taking vitimins( C ) and lots of fish oil in a capsule thing ( so it doesnt taste gross ). I also put lots of conditioner every night until my hair was wet and left it in. Please try it good luk

Answer 6

Are you receiving treatment from a licensed beautician? I would also make a appointment to see a dermatologist, there could be some type of problem/infection with your scalp.

Answer 7

If your hair is to overly processed it wont stop till it all grow out. or it might be you need some kind of vitamins.

Answer 8

I'm going to tell you straight forward, There is nothing much you can do about it, you are going to have to grow your hair out where it's more healthier.
