Stealth Breakage

:(!!!! I don't know what happened.  I've been following pretty much the same routine, haven't really deviated that much...but for some reason I'm experiencing breakage in the back of my head.  I haven't even noticed it.  I only noticed it when I started ti trim my hair tonight and took a before picture.  The only thing I can think of is the relaxer smdh.  I decided to start getting "professional" relaxers earlier this year, seemed like a wise enough decision but I did notice a few things about the process that turned me off.  The stylist wasn't that aggressive when washing it out of my hair and that reaaaaally freaked me out.  They tend to focus more on the top of your head but not giving much attention to the back, it's more like an after thought.  This is so discouraging, if I choose to cut to the breakage point I'll loose sooooo much length.  Not only am I switching to a texturizer I'll start relaxing my hair again.  It just sucks that I've made so much progress and get sent right back to square one when you call yourself doing the "safe" thing.  I guess the only person who truely cares about the health of your hair is you. UGH!!!!! :( 

I'll be stretching this relaxer until December which will put me at 16 months post.  After doing my hair a couple days ago I remembered the reason I stopped using castor oil lol.  My thin hair can't handle that heavy oil.  Today I washed with Carol's Daughter Black Vanilla Shampoo, did a light protein treatment with Aphogee 2-Min Reconstructor and conditioned with HairOne conditioner.  Instead of using a cream based moisturizer I went back to my oldie-but-goodie moisturizing mix.  I did use castor oil on my scalp but A LOT less than I did last time, I can definitely tell the difference.  I can always tell when I use too much, my hair feels soggy (over moisturized) and greasy, also it gets very tangled.
