  1. Toni says:

    I have very curly, fine hair that is very prone to FRIZZ. My hair grows very slowly, and seems to break VERY EASY. I need a MAJOR hair overhaul and would like some tips on caring for fragile hair like my own. I personally would love to be able to grow my hair Long, but just seems that I can’t get it there! HYDRATION! It is also very dry and brittle, just a frizzed mess. If I apply any type of heat, it breaks.Not sure what to do with it?!?!?

  2. Nieco says:

    i have a dry scout – i mean i wash it and i have a dry scout – what can i use

  3. donna says:

    I couldn’t live without Hummingbird Hair products (www.HummingbirdHair.com) for my damaged breaking hair. I use their Keratin Fix Protein Therapie to repair my damaged hair. (I alternate this treatment with the Intensive Hydration Conditioning Mask whenever I wash my hair.)

    When my hair is damp, I seal in the moisture with their leave in conditioner and use Platinum Shine Botanical Oil for daily styling. It really keeps my hair from breaking out like before. My hair is soft and strong now! Yes!

  4. mercy says:

    hi….i have a big problem with getting balding spots around the front hairline area. What should I use to get rid of the problem and to also keep my hair from breaking? I am currently using the optimum care products but its not doing me any good.

    • MSTBL3 says:

      I’ve used Organic Root Stimulator Temple balm on my girls edges when they have thinned as well as my own during pregnancy. If you aren’t sure what’s causing it (i.e. hairstyle or product, etc.), it may keep happening.

      Hope this helps!
