Am sorry it didn’t work for you? How did you use it? Maybe you should try it with honey or lemon some other time.

I lose a lot of hair after plaiting… because my hair becomes tied up and don’t want to separate. I then lose a lot of hair in the process of trying to separate it and it also breaks early. I think if it wasn’t for this, my hair would be very big by now.

I guess your hair got tangled and knotted, did you try detangling with conditioner after taking your hair down and before washing? Do you deep condition too??
Next time, you should also try prepooing, I wrote about it.
