First off let me start by saying I am not a hair stylist. I do tho know my hair better then anyone else and even I have no idea what is going on. I've been doing my own hair colouring, cutting and styling since I was 12 years old and I'm 36 now. I grew up in a small town where all there was, was a 65 year old male barber if I wanted highlights I had to do them myself.
I need you all to know I do know how to take care of my hair properly I did move to the city and went to school for makeup and one of my close friends did the hair program she taught me everything I need to know to properly care for my hair.
Now my problem is my hair all around my hair line was breaking off at three inch's long. Now it's starting to move up the head, I know what your all thinking I'm wearing my ponytails too tight. I don't wear ponytails having my hair pulled tight makes my head itch like crazy and give me a headache.
Second guess would be bleaching would cause breakage and I wont lie I have bleached recently but I was very careful to only do the one inch of roots. I have been bleaching my hair for decades and I have bleached it in to soup before I watched my hair fall off in stringy, stretchy, juicy chunks more then once this is different it's been breaking slowly over the past 3 months.
I'm really scared I have had short hair for the past 10 years and finally I fought the long hard battle of growing it out it's now at it maximum lenght which is not all the long but it's all I have and I don't want to lose more. I'm very picky but the products I use, No hot tools no flat irons or curling irons I blow dry very rarely I almost never use hairspray or mouse or other styling products. I use sulphate free shampoo, moroccan oil, I deep condition regularly and comb through I try to not use anything very heavy in my hair and I also do a raw egg white, olive oil mask on my hair every month it really helps add moisture, softness and shine. I even use a special detangeling brush and I always brush from ends to roots
The past three months I've been hyper vigilant about not doing anything to cause more breakage I've seen three different hair dressers for my regular trim and none of them can figure it it they just think I'm lying about not wearing tight ponytails. When I do wear my hair up it's in a messy bun or one of those large mouth toothed clips. I do have some medical issues hypothyroidism and a over abundance oi insulin but wouldn't that kinda of medical issue hair loss be from the root and more uniform?
Please can someone help this is the 4th forum I've posted on in 3 months and no one can seem to help.
