nwr I know you girls can help my hair!!!

My hair has been breaking and falling out like crazy. I don't color it or chemically treat it in any way. Can anyone recommend an at-home treatment I can use???

TIA!!!

go to cvs or rite aid and get a bottle of QUEENE HELENE JOJOBA OIL!!!!!!!

go in ur bathrooom , turn on hottttttttt water.. and let the bath steam up.

on ur dry hair, put the jojoba oil. put a lot.

take a plastic shopping bag and wrap ur hair in it like a cap. and just sit in ur bathroom with the steam. bring ur laptop in there. stay for a while.

then leave it in overnight if u want.. i usually do. but sometimes i leave it in for 45 min.

wash out ur hair completely afterwards. if ur hair feels greasy after uve dried it, put shampoo on ur dry hair and massage ur scalp... then wash ur hair in water again. that should get rid of all the oil.

ur hair will be soooooooooooooo smoooth.

then u can do hair treatments once a week.

swartzkopf makes a nice treatment.

Try and take Biotin capsules for your hair. You can get it at the health food store...
But def do a deep con'd EVERY week!.

Good conditioning treatments espcially done the way Barb said are great. But try and find out why your hair is suddenly breaking. If you're not chemically treating it, are you using an iron alot? If so, try and use a silicone based anti frizz oil before you iron. If you haven't been using an iron, what kind of shampoo and conditioner are you using? Is your home very dry? Try a humidifier...look at your diet, are you on a strict diet? That may be why. If none of these apply then I would definitely get some blood work done checking your thyroid and hormone levels.

I had a client ( I used to do hair full time untill a shoulder injury, now I do it on the side) whose hair would not grow and was brittle. Turned out she was on a diet and was overly strict and did not get enough nutrients and thats how her body reacted first.

Yeah definitely check your thyroid level as well. I suffer from an underactive thyroid and my hair is weak and breaks and falls out a lot.

Take biotin!! If it continues I'd go to your doc.

thanks guys - it has to be something hormonal. i'm not on a diet, don't use a flat iron, etc. etc. i've been stressed and my face is breaking out as well.
