I have a fine, course hair if that makes sense? I'll say medium. It's fine in some areas and medium course in others. I have 3c/4a hair mix (I believe)
I just got it trimmed a 3 weeks ago from a two year plus non trim. I wore it under lacefronts and it hadn't been trimmed in over TWO years. I would have my roomie relax my hair, and when I did go to the salon it didn't need to be trimmed as my ends weren't split nor damaged. This is a pic of my hair at the end of a 22 month stretch taken 3 weeks ago. Before my relaxer.
I never put products in it, just washed and straightened and it was fine and whispy straightened.
My ends were thick and appeared fine to me, when I was at the salon she said they
weren't split but I should cut them anyway since it had been so long and she barely cut off a half inch.
My hair is about 12 inches long now, and about 8 inches in this second pic (stretch) taken in May of last year.
notice my hair barely grazes my neck, and it wasn't thinning either.
This pic (like in my siggy) is after a relaxer taken 3 weeks ago is at my shoulders
I didn't have a regimen until recently, I just kept my hair ALWAYS covered in a lacefront wig, or braided, etc. I guess that protected my hair but I was lucky because I never took care of it. That gave me a dry, flakey scalp but I did gain length.
