Hair breakage and non-growth are caused by a number of things. Do you use heat on your hair too much? Do you wash it too often? Do you use too many products?

Ethnic hair should be cared for differently, but the problem is many of us over do it. Your hair should be washed either once a week or once every two weeks. A deep conditioner is always recommended. If you relax your hair (which should be about every six weeks), get a trim each time.

In between washes, limit the products you put in your hair, especially gels and hairsprays that harden your hair. All you need is a simple oil sheen or other oil to grease your scalp about twice a week. Stay with the same product. If you continue to switch products too much, your hair will get "confused" and you'll never see any results.

The key is repetition and maintainance. Wash and moisturize regularly and stay away from unecessary products.

You must keep this up to see any positive results.

If not, I heard African American's hair usually is very dry, it could be that. Try Head and Shoulders see what that does for you, if not Dove.

The best thing to do is go to a Hair Salone, those people know what to do.

Breakage from braids, pools(swimming in water with clorine), and not wrapping your hair at night possably.Perming does not cause it to break. if you havent permed your hair in a while it will start to come out easily when you brush it comb etc. you should perm it cuz if u do it wont fall out. only the dead ends that are coming out when u brush it.

trying perming your hair with Botanicals, Africa's Best, or Dark and Lovely.

Too much handling of any kind.

Also too much sun.

However, not all the hair you see on your pillow is breakage. It's normal for all humans to lose 80 to 100 head hairs a day. If your hair is at all long, that can seem like a lot in the comb, but as long as it's not getting visibly thinner, you're fine.

just plain styling can make it break off! Try using a heat protectant in your hair to prevent that from happening. I use Protect and Shine serum by Joico and only put in on the ends of my hair while its wet, before I blow dry it. Try to lay off the straightening iron if you use one...

If relaxers are not applied correctly, it can lead to breakage and overprocessing. If you sleep on a cotton pillow case, this could also be a problem. I wrap my hair at night and tie it up in a scarf, and I have noticed that in the back edges my hair is breaking, possibly because the scarf is too tight or because it is rubbing against my hair/scalp. You should also make sure that you are conditioning your hair on a regular basis and be careful when it comes to products that you put in your hair. Try not to use heat to style your hair. I use rollers instead of a curling iron. You also might want to visit a professional stylist at least once every two months and they can give you more suggestions specific to your hair.

Getting it trimmed (just a tiny bit) every other week or so will allow the ends to be refreshed and not break so easily
