well lets start off by saying that i am a hair freak! i can not stress that to you enough. i do everything to prevent my hair from ever having anything wrong with it! with that said on dec 24 (yes the day before the supposed"most wonderful day of the year")i went to the store to buy a relaxer. i picked up this relaxer because it stated that it would be done sooner than the normal relaxer. (i felt as if i needed to cut back time, especially with a 6yr old and 2yr old hanging on both legs) i went home and proceeded to put this relaxer in my head. i had the relaxer in my head for only 10 minutes when it started burning and it felt like it was burning through my head. i ran to the bathroom and started to wash the relaxer out of my head. when i started to wash the relaxer out,my hair started coming out as well. i started screaming "my hair is coming out!" my husband the dear man that he is stayed on the couch for an extra 10 minutes after i said this. he said the last thing he wanted to do was walk in a bathroom when a hysterical woman just screamed her hair was falling out. lets just say at the end of that night it was a visit to the er and i had all the happy drugs a girl could need.

i faced this problem when i got married and i shifted to another place , te place whee my hubby use to stay. after that i faced such a bad hair fall that i was thinking that i will have to cut my hairs short and go for some short hair style. i m having lonmg hairs and i love them a lot but i was very depressed at that moment. now also they fall but at that time it was a sudden change on climate, atmosphere or whatever , which my hairs couild not cope up with n fell off.

Just for the record, I never did have this happen to me, although I never used a relaxer. I do, however, bleach my own hair and have experienced some burning from the peroxide -- but that was all that happened. I hope your hair grows back quick and more beautiful. LOL.
