For example detangle gently with your fingers and conditioner before using a comb. Only handle the hair when you have time, don't try to style it quickly, literally just stop and enjoy what you are doing. If you hear snapping as the comb goes through, yes you are snapping your hair.Jchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03983132094574128087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-25547717663016896042009-11-05T05:30:09.857+00:002009-11-05T05:30:09.857+00:00Also, may I ask what is TLC?Also, may I ask what is TLC?seckalimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07173652654902288029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-68018043464550908202009-11-05T05:23:38.625+00:002009-11-05T05:23:38.625+00:00Hi everybody.

The frontpart is about 4 inches. I noticed long ago that the middle and front part of my hair was very fragile. It breaks off very easily. That's the reason I went natural really, hoping that I will have less breakage. And I do. But this particular issue is quite frustrating. I can't help but imagine all the cool hairstyles I could do if the front part wasnt breaking off this much.seckalimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07173652654902288029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-59183772902563338352009-11-04T11:59:23.940+00:002009-11-04T11:59:23.940+00:00I have the same problem the front and middle of my...I have the same problem the front and middle of my hair is around 14 inches, however the back barely makes 7 inches and ive been natural all my life, i think its because i have different textures all over my hea but its frustrating i dont know what to do!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-77001462148859701502009-10-11T18:51:53.795+01:002009-10-11T18:51:53.795+01:00I've noticed the same thing.

Over time I feel this is a combination of several factors including tighter texture and rubbing against my sleep bonnet. With maximum TLC it is recovering - it tends to be very dry so I moisturise twice daily. I also try not to let my bonnet rub too much there.Didinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-28969490427920410952009-10-09T19:00:36.125+01:002009-10-09T19:00:36.125+01:00ha...im ALWAYS trimming the front of my hair...eve...ha...im ALWAYS trimming the front of my hair...every knot and split...goes bye byeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-6117427869436511392009-10-09T10:58:39.361+01:002009-10-09T10:58:39.361+01:00The research I have done simply shows that Henna c...The research I have done simply shows that Henna colours the hair. There are no strength tests that I could find. <br /><br />There are many naturals who do swear by Henna for strength. However in terms of conditioning, most people say Henna makes their hair dry. <br /><br />If you want more info on Henna, the users I know are<br />1.

Now, with that said, your front could be breaking more easily if it is tighter. In which case, you should condition/oil your front more than the back. It needs a little more TLC.<br />~melM.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09691826662067248045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-6506191677760143322009-10-08T14:59:03.166+01:002009-10-08T14:59:03.166+01:00Great thinking - different texture could also be a...Great thinking - different texture could also be a reason given the tighter the curl the more likely it is to break. <br /><br />lol@afro mulletJchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03983132094574128087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-62938694293351114432009-10-08T12:59:31.636+01:002009-10-08T12:59:31.636+01:00ah the natural afro mullet - i think hair on one h...ah the natural afro mullet - i think hair on one head can definitely grow at different rates. the back 1/3 of my hair always grows an inch or two quicker than the rest of my hair with the middle/crown growing the very slowest. i've always attributed it to the different textures of hair rather than routine.karibbeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17242400170347065592noreply@blogger.com
