Hola La Negra,

My apologies for responding to you so late. I hope your doing great and everything is well.
Hola guapa! Don’t ever worry about taking your time to reply. We all get busy

Here are the answers to the questions you asked me earlier:

1. Are you natural or relaxed? Natural
Ok, so you probably need to invest in some really good moisturizing conditioners. Number one on my list is Baba de Caracol. It used to be Humecto, which is still awesome, but I LOOOOOOVE Baba.

2. When did your problem start? A year ago
How frequently have you trimmed? Have you have a decent trim to ensure that your ends are completely clean?
Is your hair breaking at ends, coming out at the root, or breaking off close to the crown?

3. Have you changed your regular routine? If so, has the changed helped, made things worse, or no difference?
I have changed my routine by getting Dominican Blowouts and it has helped a little. The good news is my hair stays straight in very humid weather. The bad news is that after a week and a half my hair starts to itch.

When a blowout lasts beyond a week, that’s good, in my opinion. I prefer to wait at least two weeks before blowing again, but if my hair frizzes, or puffs sooner than that, then I just deal with it. Sometimes, I end up having to shampoo before two weeks is up, but I avoid the heat and wear my hair natural.

How long have you been using your current stylist? What does she have to say about the condition of your hair? Has she made any recommendations, given any advice?

Muchas gracias
You’re welcome, amiga. I just hope that we can get to the bottom of the problem.

Uggg!! Your hair is kinky, so what?!!
That kind of attitude irks me! Why do you need to be constantly reminded that your hair is kinky? It is, what it IS!

Your hair sounds as if it really needs lots and lots of moisture and could possibly stand a decent trim, but I’m not going to lie…your current stylist sounds like a piece of work.

If it were me, I would focus on getting my hair in excellent condition. In the meantime, shop around for a new stylist while you practice doing rolos at home. However, I don’t recommend to you mess around with the blower, because:

1. You may cause damage to already dry hair and
2. you need to keep as much moisture as possible.

Also, you may want to consider using Aphogee two step protein treatment. You only need to use Aphogee once every other month.
Lastly, in addition to any conditioners you buy, remember that you can use coconut oil, jojoba and other oils to keep your hair moisturized (see the recipe section).

Keep me posted!
