Hello everyone!!! Quick question but i'll start from the beginning. When i was about 9 or 10 i had really long hair, probably to the middle of my back that was a little thick but wavy. I didnt need a perm but i got 1. When i was over my step moms we went swimming probably everyday in 1 wk and i did not wash my hair. After a week my step mom decided i needed a perm. She used a coarse perm. Now remember i had wavy hair so the coarse perm was probably way to strong for my hair. But when it was all said and done my hair was ate off badly due to the chlorine sitting in it for so long and the strong perm choice. My hair ended up being to my shoulders. But after that it started eating off more and more and getting damaged. I finally cut it off really short and it grew back a little But my hair it really ate off and brittle. I really would like my hair to grow and be healthy w/out me having to cut it off too short again.. Any suggestions on what i should do?
