Find your hair twin anyone?

Would anyone be interested in finding your hair twin? I searched and found some older threads but not sure if those people are still around or since then decided to change their texture chemically or removed the chemicals from their regimen. In order to find your twin, I think we would need to identify the following first. My hope is that I can find someone with hair similar to mine so I can continue to learn and have fun on this journey. Of course, everyone's hair is different but finding someone who's hair properties is similar to mine may help me and hopefully help someone else in regimen and product selection. So here we go!

State of hair (relaxed, natural, texlaxed, BKT, etc)
Hair type (3_, 4_, etc)
Density (thin, medium, thick)
Strand size (thin, medium, thick)
Porosity (low, normal, high)
Products your hair loves (moisture, protein, butters, oils, teas, Ayurvedics, etc)
Products your hair hates (moisture, protein, butters, oils, teas, Ayurvedics, etc)
Typical style (twists, braids, extensions, weaves, wigs, roller set, flat iron, blow dry, air dry, buns, etc)
Current length
HHJ goals

Did I miss anything? If you are interested, reply with your answers and if you want, post a photo of your hair wet and/or dry.

I'm RELAXED
4b crown, 3c nape
Medium Density
Thin strands
Normal porosity
My hair loves Cowashing with Tresemme Naturals, Vatika oil, EVCO, jojoba oil, black tea is great under my DC but not alone, honey is great under my DC as well
My hair cannot handle a lot of protein but an every 6 week Aphogee 2 min works well, EVOO doesn't seem to do anything for my hair but make it hard, no good experience with AVJ yet
I roller set weekly, but it lasts all of a day, then it's pinned up or bunned up
I'm currently SL
I want BSL bad! I want my roller sets to last longer than a day, thicker density and soft, NOT OILY, but moisturized hair that is bouncy and full.

haulin hard in the paint
State of hair (relaxed, natural, texlaxed, BKT, etc) Natural

Hair type (3_, 4_, etc) 4a/4b Bit of 3c in the nape
Density (thin, medium, thick) thin/medium...i am on the lower density side...my braids look pitifully scalpy

Strand size (thin, medium, thick) on the thin/fine side

Porosity (low, normal, high) normal

Products your hair loves (moisture, protein, butters, oils, teas, Ayurvedics, etc) My hair is not picky. It likes lotiony products like Hairveda Whipped Cream Ends Hydration. It also likes thicker creams like Bee Mine Luscious or Elasta QP Olive & Mango Butter. Milks tend to be too thin. Any oil is good for my hair. I like to use grapeseed, olive oil, coconut oil, and sunflower oil to seal and prepoo. I also love butters for my ends.

My hair likes medium/milk protein every couple of weeks like Aphogee Green Tea & Keratin or Silk Dreams Mocha Silk. It can handle AO GPB every week w/out a moisturizing dc afterward.


Products your hair hates (moisture, protein, butters, oils, teas, Ayurvedics, etc): Not much.

Typical style (twists, braids, extensions, weaves, wigs, roller set, flat iron, blow dry, air dry, buns, etc): Twists in my own hair pinned up. My hair likes to be detangled while dampened with water/oil with my fingers and gently with a seamless comb.

Current length: Almost BSB/BSL

HHJ goals: Length retention and health

ETA: I have some texture shots in post 48. Do I have a hair twin out there? :)

Jobwright Henna dries out my hair and makes it hard, I also had breakage from it. I use ORS and I am bone straight.

I think we may be super close cousins. My density is not thick and my hair gets oily very easily. But everything else checks out. How do you use butters and not be oily/greasy though? Is it because you have very dense hair?

When I use butters, its the only thing I use. I normally do all this at night so when I style in the morning, my hair isnt weighted down or hard. My hair eats up anything with moisture in it.

CONES! For my fine porous strands they're the debil :yep:

Typical style (twists, braids, extensions, weaves, wigs, roller set, flat iron, blow dry, air dry, buns, etc)
I love air drying! I do it 99% of the time, even before blow drying:).
I also love to bun, rollerset, flat iron and the occasion braid out. I'm thinking about testing the curly set waters, but we'll see in due time.


Current length
Full BSL, inching towards MBL

HHJ goals:
Thicker strands :pray:.....WL :pray:.....and HL<-----This is mostly wishful thinking but there is nothing wrong with a sista' havin a dream :grin:.

Products your hair hates (moisture, protein, butters, oils, teas, Ayurvedics, etc)
My hair isn't too fond of butters (they weigh it down) so I've learned to use small amount. Also my hair for some reason does not like Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie (it makes it greasy)

Typical style (twists, braids, extensions, weaves, wigs, roller set, flat iron, blow dry, air dry, buns, etc)
My typical go to style has been the twistout. I also wear wigs but bc of summer heat in Texas just been wash n go or twistouts.

My HHJ goal is just to have healthy BSL when its not stretched and in its natural state.

We're not twins but we're related! Our hair is the same except my strand size is thick.
What are you doing to reduce shedding? I'm 12 weeks post and I'm trying to hold out until November.

Froreal3 I don't know if we're twins, but maybe sisters...


State of hair (relaxed, natural, texlaxed, BKT, etc) Natural

Hair type (3_, 4_, etc) 4b in the crown with a halo of 4A and 3C (very loose in the front)

Density (thin, medium, thick) medium

Strand size (thin, medium, thick) thin

Porosity (low, normal, high) medium/high

Products your hair loves (moisture, protein, butters, oils, teas, Ayurvedics, etc) I haven't used a lot of products. I cowash with VO5 faithfully. Otherwise, I use homemade mixes with aloe vera juice, oils, butters, eggs, silk, and honey, which keeps the curls defined and moist. My hair loves, leave-ins with coconut oil, moisturizing sprays with avocado oil and aloe, whipped butters (especially with shea, cocoa, and mango), henna, apple cider vinegar, herbs/teas, and clays/mud.

Products your hair hates (moisture, protein, butters, oils, teas, Ayurvedics, etc): Using Eco styler made my hair extremely dry, but that's the only thing I can think of.

Typical style (twists, braids, extensions, weaves, wigs, roller set, flat iron, blow dry, air dry, buns, etc): I usually put my hair in microbraids (with added hair). When not in micros, I'm usually in 2-strand twists.

Current length: Not quite full APL

HHJ goals: Healthy (unstretched) MBL

^^ Duchess007...our textures are kind of similar. You have way more hair than I do and your curl looks slightly looser...or your texture may be a bit silkier.
