Thanks for the kind words!!

My regime is REALLY simple.

I cowash 1x/week w/ a moisturizing condish. If my scalp itchy, I wash hair with baking soda then apply a moisturizing condish as a leave-in.

I only wash my hair in chunky twist. The only time I wash it loose is when I apply henna (that is 1x every 2-3mon)

On damp twist, I apply a leave in condish then twist my hair w/ a mix of (shea butter, coconut oil, castor oil, and jojoba oils). I wear my hair twisted in large/med twist 90% of the time. Twistouts/WnG/Puff ponytails the other times.

I always sleep w/ a satin scarf over hair. In the morning, I spritz hair w/ a glycerin-water mix and apply a small amt of my shea mix to my ends.

That's it!!

HTHs :)

Iris, it's interesting. I was going to post my question in the 2/3 celebration thread. I didn't. I came here...

...and the last thing I expected was to find a beautiful 3-type head like yours with the same confusion I have regarding my DD's hair.

She is mostly 4-type...but the longer I am here, I am convinced that I don't WHAT her hair is. It's poofy...just cotton candy-like. It has a few coils at the bottom in the back, but the rest of her hair...

I don't know.

When it's wet (other than the very back/bottom), it is not kinky, and it does not curl/coil. It's very thick, not kinky/ not straight. I can comb through it from root to tip. It just expands...wierd hair.

When I slick it with Aloe Vera Gel, I don't get waves for days. It's bone straight. Left alone, it's cotton candy but not very tangly at all. She gets NO single strand knots - ever! I think I am taking good care of her hair, but I just don't know what it is outside of a nice blend of mostly 4 and maybe some 3 in there somewhere

What is her hair??? BMP...you got some science to drop on a sistah? :lachen:


LOVE THIS THREAD, OP!!!
