I Ruined My Hair 😭

So maybe 4 years ago i dyed my hair for the first time ever. I was going through a lot and had a “why not” moment.

My hair was healthy and flourishing before that.

Of course the bleach and all weighed on my hair so it become brittle and just ugh. It got thin and my curls/coils started to loosen 😭

Fast forward ⏩ i ended up getting on meds that made my hair fall out after i stopped and now its even thinner.

Ive never been into haircare if I’m being honest but i use to hate my hair. Matter of fact the first time i really started wearing it out is when i met my now boyfriend because he makes me feel so comfy in my skin 😍🥰

Now I’m on a mission to revive and nurture my hair. I have no idea what my hair type is.. I’m assuming 4c 💁🏾‍♀️

Any tips on haircare appreciated ladies (with love) 💕🫶🏾

Oh and i cant afford a beautician soooo all me 😭🥹

Many people face challenges with hair damage, whether from dyeing, heat, or medications. Understanding your hair type, especially if you suspect you have type 4c curls, is crucial for effective care. For those struggling with hair loss or thinning, it's wise to adopt a gentle routine. Incorporating nourishing oils such as coconut or argan oil can provide hydration and strength. Moreover, regular deep conditioning treatments can help restore moisture. It's beneficial to limit the use of heat styling tools and focus on protective hairstyles that minimize breakage. Remember to be patient as hair regrowth takes time, and it's essential to be kind to yourself during this process. Connecting with online communities focused on black hair care can also offer support and valuable tips. Sharing personal stories and connecting with others can enhance your hair care journey and provide encouragement. Don’t hesitate to reach out and ask for help or advice on various platforms, including forums that cater to your specific hair concerns.
