Brief Answer:
Follihair , any time of the day after food
Detailed Answer:
Hello Flossy,
When did you do straightening ?
Is the hair breaking off or is it coming from the roots? If you examine the end of the hair you will be able to see a small bulb if it is coming from roots.
Hair straightening damages the hair shaft and it is very common to see them breaking off at the junction of normal hair and straightened hair. That is why dermatologists usually do not recommend any sort of straightening procedures.
Follihair is a supplement for hair and contains aminoacids, vitamins and anti oxidants. It will help in faster growth of hair. As long as the hair is not coming from the roots it is alright and the breakage will stop one day. Follihair can be taken any time of the day after meal and it can be taken with water or juice or milk whatever you prefer. Take it for 3 months once a day.
A conditioner helps in making hair shaft stronger. Hair falling more during conditioner application could be a coincidence. Coconut oil is also a good conditioner. Apply it one hour before bath and shampoo it off.
Hope this helped
Take care
