What are you talkin about everybody has split ends even if you cut them they come back that's why you should protective style to protect the ends and moisturizer with really good oil and conditioner your hair if you cut your hair it grows back faster if you continue to cut it that's what any type of hair that's on your body that's including the eyelashes facial hair etc but at the same time some people just prefer to not have their hair cut sometimes you want to go in there just to get your hair done you don't want no scissors put to your hair are a haircut and that should not be a problem you're the client which you say goes you're paying them they're not paying you

[@tiahnarodriguez3809]

I have the same type of hair, and the key is to use high heat which unfortunately is more damaging. I’m not a fan of heat, so I’m with you on the twists. I prefer single strand twists because they give me a flatter root. When I straighten my hair for my bi-annual trims, I use medium heat and it gives me a blown out look which I’m fine with cuz like I said high heat is not my friend.

The issue is that most products for afro texturd hair has protein in it and I believe is the reason we are having so many set backs with our hair. I feel like it should be treated like iron, only purchase it if you need it and never be added to any product. My hair went from being very moisturized with define curls and waves to dry, brittle and hardly no curls. My hair doesnt like aloe or water anymore, if I use that my hair would frizz up and become dry and crunchy like I had used a protein treatment.

[@princesskaiasher727]

[@lindalove7193]

How does coconut oil make hair brittle? I've never heard of an oil doing that. The protein overload I can see, but not the oil, but you are correct. I found this online: "But for low porosity hair, it's hard enough to get water into the strands, so if you have coconut oil taking up space, then hair may not get the moisture that it needs, therefore, it dries out."

[@rqhstlouis]

Idk the science behind it, behind my hair also hates coconut oil. It might be simply because oil and water don’t mix and too much coconut oil blocks the hair from getting moisture in.

[@LifestyleUnlocked]

I know what you mean! I am much more knowledgeable and careful now. So I check the ingredient list of every single product I buy. I’ve finally found some protein-free products. Most times I make products myself because of all the protein in store-bought products. Luckily I enjoy making DIY products, as long as they are backed by science & they work. 😂 Anyway, her hair turned out absolutely gorgeous! I love it. 😍

[@deebossTito]

Analytical chemist here--Protein overload is not necessarily a bad thing. With overload, simply braid up hair and leave it alone for a week or more. Wrap up in scarf all week for extra added protection from the elements. Since hair is brittle, it is extremely fragile and can snap (without even stretching). Take down hair and hair should be super soft. This is because hair immediately absorbs protein and it won’t stop until you remove the excess product. Even the residual effects will continue until there is nothing left to absorb. Many store brought products have synthetic protein molecules that are strong. Hair cholesterol/hair mayonnaise are formulated to be gentle for Black hair/African origin. Her hair is beautiful and shiny due to all that protein she absorbed and the heat sealing it into her hair. That is why, despite the overload, her hair looks so amazing, strong, and shiny. Protein is amazing and your hair is made up of it. You constantly need to replenish your hair strands with protein for maximum hair health. I am not a cosmetic chemist but I work closely with the cosmetics lab. I am an analytical chemist that analyzed medications and topicals. Many principles pivot to hair/skin products. Lab formulations and analyzing active ingredients is not only what I have researched for many years , but do for a living. There are wonderful protein products that one can buy that are gentle enough for everyday use, cater to our hair type, and they are still strengthening. Of course, with any protein treatment, follow up with an equally strong Moisturizing treatment.
