Hi everyone,
I could really use some advice because my hair has been confusing me lately and I don’t know what direction to go in.
I’m South Asian and currently living in Japan. I’ve been noticing thinning around my crown recently. It almost feels like my baby hairs there are falling out, and that area looks really flat compared to the rest of my hair. Also, I’m trying to grow out my hair.
My hair routine is pretty simple:
- I wash it every 2 days
- On wash day, it looks dry and frizzy
- Day 2: it looks softer and better
- Day 3: it starts looking dirty and frizzy again
Some background:
- I had full hair straightening done in Nov 2024. It lasted about a year
- I got my bangs straightened about 6 months ago here in Japan
- My bangs now look really dry and brittle
- The new growth in my bangs is coming in kind of wavy and uneven and looks weird (just a part of it)
Overall, my hair feels like a mix of flat at the crown plus dry and frizzy everywhere else, and I don’t really understand what it is anymore.
I’ve been wondering if I should try the curly girl method, but I’m not sure if that’s the right move or if my hair is just damaged from the treatments.
I’d really appreciate any advice. I feel kind of lost with it right now.
Also I have been using random shampoo pouches because nothing seems to work, and conditioner always seems to weigh my hair down.
