What it looks like for me is this feeling: gahd why does it look so dry no matter what I do?! And just being annoyed with it.
It just dawned on me that I haven't had a good hair day in 2 years. I literally remember my last good hair days. It has also just dawned on me that it could be a water quality issue... Hm. Maybe this extreme feeling of annoyance will come to pass, because it might actually be fixable, because I'm going to be living in a new country starting next week.
@LaBelleLL, do you get a particular cut? What shape do you get? Round? Angled?
I was going to say - it sounds like you have a water and weather quality issue. When I lived in Central Africa - my hair did horribly. It didn't look good at all in twists. It became thin actually. Same with when I was in Haiti (bc of where I was living). I spent a week in Barbados and my hair did not like the weather at all. It was straight dry all the time. I know exactly what you are talking about. Maybe the move will be better. And maybe you should invest in that contraption that makes water soft.
I've tried to paste a picture of my cut. My hair is tighter than hers - curls not as large. But this is it. I actually don't like this cut itself but it looks very beautiful a little more grown out, which is what I have right now. I realize I don't like bangs in the front of my face but more to the side.
I always bring pictures with me and strongly suggest that you do if you able to go.
