Hair after baby

Ask a Hair Care Expert

I need some advice about what to do with my hair now that I'm going to have my baby

My hair is naturally curly and dark brown before I got pregnant I dyed it a lighter brown and got highlights on the top half Now I have the new growth also I want to know if I can save my hair (it's pretty damaged) Should I cut it short and dye it all dark brown & if so do I need to use a filler before coloring Or could I trim it and dye it all a light brown If I dye it light brown/dark blonde can I just get one color and use it on my whole head Please help any advice would be greatly appreciated And should I use a deep conditioner everyday What is a good conditioner to use on damaged hair

thanks for all your help

I made a terrible mistake

Ask a Hair Care Expert

I cut my hair bald and wore wigs for about 2 yrs then I switch to braids for a few month I bought a regular relaxer and applied it to my virgin hair and after I finish washing my hair I noticed clumps of it in the sink as I started to comb it more hair came out seems like it came out in spots although I don't have any bald spots my hair is very very short in the back the virgin hair was past my neck I think I made a mistake by relaxing my hair after braiding I really wished I hade used Just for me a kids relaxer for the first time or would my hair still have fallen out

My choices are to cut it bald again wear wig or use what I have and do quick weave What do you suggest

Hugs

Ms B

Greetings Ros

My 11 year old has very slow hair growth in the back of her head I've tried everything on the store shelves to promote hiar growth to no avail I've even tried encouraging her to not sleep on her back hoping that this would help "blood circulation" to this area during rest Now that she is getting older she wants to wear her hair "down" Any suggestions for promoting hair growth She really does otherwise have very beautiful reddish brown hair
