Breakage

hi. about two years ago, i had a hair mishap, and had to cut out a large chunk of hair around my forehead. it is not growing back. i’m starting to feel hopeless after trying everything— bangs hid them recently, but just looked bad with my face, barrettes don’t hold them, hairspray and ironing causes they to break off more… i genuinely don’t know what to do. my hair would look nice otherwise, but this piece of hair is pretty much the ‘centrepiece’ of how i look. i can’t use water products either, because i iron my naturally curly hair. any advice would be appreciated.

@nora193992 , I completely agree with the other poster, immediately stop all heat styling of your hair! You need to be gentle and use nourishing products such as a hair mask and leave in conditioner.

You need to stop the ironing, that isn’t helping. You need to start using Redken Anti Snap leave in and the Redken Extreme Shampoo and Conditioner. Don’t use clips or pins on those broken pieces, they are extremely fragile. They will never grow if you keep applying heat/pressure. Give your hair a rest and wear it naturally for a few months.
