Is this a breakage/flyways or something else?
Basically… I had a hair wash today and I’m feeling really confused about my hair texture right now.
Routine:
L’Oréal Hyaluron Pure shampoo
Biolage mask as conditioner / L’Oréal Hyaluron Moisture conditioner
Redken Acidic Bonding leave-in
After air-drying, my hair does have shine, but it still looks frizzy/dry with a lot of what seems like breakage/flyaways.
My previous haircut was face-framing layers, so I’m not sure how much of it is actual breakage vs layers/new growth.
For context, I was diagnosed with anemia and last year my ferritin was 5.5 with 8.5 HB. I haven’t checked since then..
For the past 3 months I’ve been trying to improve things naturally by eating iron-rich dry fruits, black sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc., and I’ve also started working out regularly.
My shedding is not extremely high, but I do notice 10-15 hairs breakage daily …..I dont know If I am over analysing it which has been stressing me out a lot.
Does this look more like dryness/frizz? breakage?
low ferritin aftermath? or just layered hair growing out?
Would really appreciate advice from people who’ve recovered from low ferritin/hair issues 😭
