Brittle Hair, Breaks Easily, Itchy Hair. Taking Medicine For Migraine, Seizures, Acid Reflux
Hi,
I am 16 years old and my long hair is breaking at the very top. I wash my hair every other day and use clear shampoo and conditioner total care. I brush my hair every day. I take meds for my migraines and seizers and acid reflux. none of them have side affects. I don't use a straightener, hair spay, curler or a hair dryer. I usual braid my hair at night. I take prenatal vitamins though. My hair as always been brittle and knotted easy. I also use an anti-breakage conditioner too. My hair has also been itchy all my life, for a long time I used dandruff shampoo, but it seemed to have stopped.
Help I need answers or tips on what to do.
