Dyed my hair about 2 months ago and straight permed it last night and now its falling out! I put blonde high lights in my hair in April and just put a relaxer in my hair last night. My hair is super elasticy and breaks when I brush it. It also feels almost like I have bad leave in shampoo in it. It feels dirty and is frizzy.

I've done the same thing. My hair was down my shoulders and had to cut it off because of killing it with to many chemicals. Try olive oils treatments or mayo with olive oil. Leave it in overnight. I've done it 3 nights in a row and my hair is healthier looking/feeling with less breakage. I've also heard beer is good too but never tried it. Just wash, condition and use leave in conditioner during the day. Good luck!
I am having a problem with so much hair falling out after rebonding of hair. Please does anyone know of any solution I can use? I tried Mintop Forte lotion and also had a doctor consultation, but no effect.

Someone gave me this tip many years ago as my hair was falling out but since I have been taking Vitamin E and it sure has helped me. Ask your doctor if you can take Vitamin E before taking it. Also give it time it works slowly, but does work. Good Luck
My hair has become damaged due to chemicals used for straightening. The roots of my hair have become so dry and brittle that when I touch them with my fingers it feels like I've been pricked by a thorn. Please give me some tips to regain my natural hair.

Damaged hair needs oils to protect it while new, healthier hair grows in. The simplest is mayonnaise - rub a handful of mayo into your hair and let it sit for a half hour or so and then wash it out. This makes the bathtub slippery, so be careful.
You can also apply any liquid vegetable oil. It's also important to eat healthy oils and proteins to bring in healthy new growth of hair.
I used Himalaya cream for reboding my hair. It looked great after that, but after washing I saw some layers were twisted so I visited a parlour. She again used chemicals to fix it. My problem started after that. My front hair become tight, rough, hard, and curly type. Please tell what I have to do. I have never used rebonding. I am so depressed.
