OK. I've always had great hair. People always mention it and it was what I was known for as a dancer. I bleach it, but otherwise baby the shit out of it. It's really thick and coarse so it stands up to the bleaching with very little damage.
Last week I used a new bottle of Abba's Recoup for the first time. After my hair dried it felt soft and mushy (kind of like cotton candy), but kind of dry in places also. Like it was super damaged. It was really frizzy as well. I didn't do anything differently. I've rotated Recoup in my protein lineup for years.
I didn't realize it was a brand new bottle at first and since it suddenly seemed so damaged I used it again the next time I washed, but followed with a hydrating mask and some Ojon oil as a leave in.
It felt even worse. It started breaking off all over the place and a bunch of my hair has fallen out. For the first time in my life my I can now put the fingers of one hand around my ponytail (so I know it's not in my head).
I'm really freaking out here! I went to check the bottle and it smells fine. Maybe I'm a little paranoid but I wondered if something was put in it. I had a dancer put some acetone in my bottle of leave-in condish I kept in my dance bag once. Luckily she got caught.
What the fuck could have happened. My hair was in good shape on minute then wham!, it's all fucked up.
I've now tried leaving a moisture mask on for a couple of hours (didn't help), Aphogee (didn't help), K-Pac (didn't help) . I resorted to buying some Pantene to glue it back together. I know this is bad, bad, bad, but I am NOT gonna cut all my hair off without a battle and dammit, Pantene makes it feel sorta like real hair again.
Any advice? Anyone had anything like this happen before?
so confused......![]()
