The breakage or hair loss can be due to several things. I can not comment on what I can not see. You would have to schedule a consultation for trichology with me. If you are unable to come to me, see a dermatologist or a trichologist in your area. If you need a trichologist because you are not in the NY area.
I can try to help you find one. Thank you. It could be shedding from lack of moisture, natural hair is harder to absorb moisture from conditioner. You have to use a steamer or hooded dryer to help conditioners penetrate. Also try a really good conditioner like Joico moisture recovery treatment balm or mizani moisturefusion mask. If that does not help, you may need a trim or your hair may be shedding because of a nutritional issue, which you can find out with a physical examination.
Is there some sort of general solution to the the baldness caused by the relaxer, like what could you do to help fix the damage done? Is there something that can be applied that works most of the time?
Hello Dion. It depends if you have active hair follicles that are not damaged by the improper use of the relaxer. You need to have your scalp analyzed to know know if follicles are present and also what can be done. If no hair follicles are present the hair will not grow back, but you can still help the existing hair follicles. If you would like to schedule a call to see what solutions are available to you and if we can be partners in helping your hair, you can schedule a 15 minute complimentary session with me so that I may learn more about you.

Read Asia T. Scarring Alopecia At The Scalp. So I figured I should give myself a head start and start getting to know my hair without relaxers. But like anything else, it's a personal decision. Just keep it informed! Last edited: May 21, Stormy Well-Known Member. Well I did, but I know quite a few women who didn't have to. Both older and younger.
Except I don't know of any elderly women who did well with relaxers or even bother with them. Foxglove A drop of golden sun. Hair and skin naturally thins when you get older so that's one thing to consider Some people are blessed to have thick hair until their old age that can withstand relaxers and some may notice more problems but it all depends on each person's individual strands. ForestRose Well-Known Member. I don't think relaxers can last to old age honestly.
The hair just becomes to frail for most. Some maintain their hair well but looking at the older ladies in my family, I doubt the same will happen for me. When you know better you do better.
Rare is the person who uses relaxers with consistent results for years. Folks be under or over processed. Folks develop alergies to the chemicals with time and age. Folks develop sensitivities to the smell of the caustic chems. Ivonnovi Well-Known Member. I didn't vote but I'll share my experience. Often it was a DIY and I did a pretty good job, often airdried versus mechanical drying I lost A LOT of hair density and if bone straight you can clearly see my scalp through my hair.
For 3 years I just tex-laxed after stretches and my hair density did not improve For 4 years I had sisterlocks, no perm my hair density did not improve. For the past 1. BTW a recent bout of crochet braids threatened my temple areas but we are recovering. From a "clinical" perspective might have come from better products and an improved regimen that includes me being MUCH more aware of scalp care.
But this is just my story. Last edited: May 22, I think it honestly depends on the hair type. Maybe some hair types can withstand the chemicals more but I say yes to having healthier hair without chemicals because it's true for me. My hair is much stronger and I like it this way.
Been natural, relaxed, and back to natural lol. It depends on hair texture, density and scalp health. I think that hair can be healthy relaxed or natural. It's all about the regimen. Just think of all the long haired relaxed ladies I'm still pretty neutral on the subject. I started relaxing my hair for the first time later in life age 35 and I'm still learning about it. I am open to transitioning back to natural hair since I was so used to it anyway, but I prefer relaxed hair for now.
I HOPE my hair can remain healthy and relaxed. Alta Angel Well-Known Member. My hair had always been thick, long and healthy when relaxed. Over time, though, my hair started thinning out. I can count at least three times when my hair had grown past BSL and then my hair inexplicably broke off practically to the new growth. I don't think my edges have ever recovered from relaxers. At a certain point most people probably choose one or the other.. Guinan Re-Branding. Once I get this color bug out of me, I will probably go back to texlax hair and I will def keep my hair short.
So, I think due to severe hormonal changes, it causes many women to eventually have to stop relaxing etc Everything changes. Your body does go through "the change" as they call it. I always wondered why my Mother and Grandmother eneded up 'natural' after "the change" now I can kind of understand why. What do oven cleaners, paint thinners and chemical hair relaxers have in common? They all contain lye, or sodium hydroxide, a versatile yet highly corrosive substance used in the manufacturing of many different products.
Because hair relaxers contain lye, they can damage your hair and scalp if used incorrectly, and even cause hair loss. Hair relaxers straighten hair by penetrating the cuticle and the cortex layers of the hair shaft to loosen the natural curl pattern.
This process leaves the hair weak, brittle and prone to breakage. It can even burn your skin, cause permanent damage to the scalp and lead to hair loss. Hair relaxers have been in use since the early s, and are one of the most popular styling products among African-American women.
Even with harmful and prevalent side effects, chemical relaxers are an effective and efficient way to straighten hair, offering quick results that last for weeks. If relaxed hair is your style of choice, there are a few things you can do to decrease the chance of hair loss and minimize damage to your hair and scalp.
The best approach is to have an experienced professional apply the treatment.
