Almost all the women in my family have plenty of long and strong hair. Except for my oldest sister, who does not have the same hair as the rest of us. Her hair has always been very scanty, short, and bald in the front. But one thing I love so much about her is how proudly she always rocks her hair regardless of how little she has.
My sister will seek out those hairstyles that suit her personality and rock them like no one else. And I think that is very important. As there is beauty in every hair, we just have to learn how to embrace it and make the best of it.
For someone like me, I have had to deal with my hair breaking a lot in the past. It happens for a while until I realize that I was using the wrong type of hair relaxer for my hair. I had to change relaxers a few times before I finally found a product that worked perfectly with my hair type. But even while my hair used to break, I never had to worry so much about it as it used to grow back so fast that one would never know how badly it was breaking.
People even use to comment when they see my hair, of how long and full it is, and wish theirs could be like that, but then it still hurts a little to see the large amount of hair falling on my comb whenever I'm combing my hair.
While hair relaxers help keep the hair straight and easy to manage, sometimes the wrong type of relaxer can cause one's hair to start breaking, grow thin, or fall off. The moment I found a hair relaxer that did well with my hair, I tried to stick to it, and my hair breakage was history.
But three years ago, when we just relocated to this state, my new salonist had recommended a different hair relaxer for me since finding the usual one was very sacred; reluctantly, I followed her recommendation, a decision I later regretted.
After months of using the relaxer she recommended, my hair started to grow thin and fall, then refused to grow back, but while this was happening, I wasn't feeling bad at all since I knew why it was happening and I knew just what I needed to do to rectify the problem.
I stopped using just any relaxer whenever I had to relax my hair and went back to my usual; gradually the hair breaking stopped, and it began to maintain a steady growth once again. These days, if I could not find the particular relaxer that works well with my hair, I would rather just wash my hair with shampoo and conditioner.

Another thing that helps my hair stay healthy in all areas is the use of coconut 🥥 oil. It is something I discovered a long time ago that has been very helpful to my hair growth. I do not use hair cream on my hair anymore; I just use coconut oil on it, and I'm very pleased with the results.

Coconut oil keeps my hair moisturize all the time, it makes it fuller, longer, stronger, and shiny a lot more than it used to be.
