I am african american and my hair broke off really short. Anyone know safe hair products I can use??

I relaxed my hair recently fir the first time. I think it broke off due to stress and the fact that I only go to the parlor once a month and wash my own hair.

African American hair is extremely delicate and requires special care. It depends on how often you trim your hair, what kind of relaxer agrees with your hair type and scalp (I still use a kiddie relaxer, cause I'm tender-headed) and how often you deep condition your hair. If you have a good beauty supply store in your neighborhood, you're good to go. I can't tell you what relaxer to use, because evevryone is different, but when you relax your hair, don't put in dyes or colors. Wait at least two weeks after chemical processing to color process your hair. Also, when you relax your hair, you have to deep condition and trim your hair. A good deep conditioner is Queen Helene Cholesterol - keep it in for 10-15 min (Hot cap is optional). Roller setting or wrapping is better for your hair than blow drying - use Lottabody setting lotion to roll or wrap set your hair and sit under a hooded dryer. Pantene has a hair care line for African american hair, with shampoo, etc...cream of nature shampoo is good too; it doesn't strip your hair's natural oil, so you do won't have dry hair. Dry hair+heat=breakage. If you choose to blowdry your hair to save time, heat protect it. Optimum Breakthru or Profectiv product lines are good for this. Good luck with your hair care regimen!

Afro-American hair is so fine. Finer then most babies hairs. Blondes have thicker hair, so you really need to take special care of your hair. Only use hair products that are made for afro-american fine hair. I do mean Fine hair products. Report It

You relaxed for the first time recently???

If that's so, you can see the diffrence between the healthy natural hair you had, and the broken off burnt relaxed hair you've gotten yourself into now...

My advice... chop it or transition back to natural.. It only gets worse with the relaxing routine.

Washing your own hair can't damage it, it's just shampoo.. It's the chemicals that have done the damage.
