OMG! That pic is so cool! It reminds me of the pic that Mwedzi posted! I hope ya'll don't mind if I jock

Feel free. If the visuals helps someone, the picking through shed hair to find the different sizes was well worth it.

Mwedzi wad the one that posted the itty bitty coil the size of the d on a dime...right? I thought that was so cool.

^mojito's hair is shoulder length stretched, and you'd never know it by just looking at it. It's so dense...and takes to twists very well. Hope that she comes in again to note which products she uses!

what products do you use? And is your hair prone to single strand knots? I think thats because I tend to leave it out since its at its awkward stage at the moment.

[Mojito Chica]

Yeah, my hairs like that too in most areas. What products do you use? And dang, if its not gonna hang just a little when it grows longer, then I can't wait for it to get to length so I can bun it all the time. :O

Hah, I'm a lazy bum, so my main products are water and an oil. I like castor oil and Qhemet Biologics Amla Oil Nourishing Pomade. I'm also into ayurvedic powders. For cleansing I prefer a shikakai/neem/amla mix, but I also like Shea Moisture's Black Soap shampoo and conditioner.

Yes my hair is prone to ssks because I don't protective style unless OHR is doing my twists

'Tis true...which makes me 'cause of the super coily nature of her hair.

[sunnehdai]

Yeah, i get alot of ssks. I think its cause I'm so lazy with my hair. I need to start taking proper care of it, but I just like letting it be and putting some moisturizer when its feeling dry. I really need a trim. And I would post photos but IDK how to upload photos on this site.

These are some photos of my coily hair type without it being stretched.It's probably not moisturized, but yeah. IDK if i have any upclose ones. Also, it's a little bit below neck length here if it was stretched. Now my hair is pretty much shoulder length.

I love her hair!



[QUOTE=Mojito Chica;2538011]OP, my hair has sporadic pen spring coils. It ain't never gonna hang. If you do have pen spring coils, just accept that your hair isn't going to hang. It defies gravity

Wow, the closest thing to a hair twin that I have EVER found! Does she have a regimen posted anywhere? Thanks for the help!

[Lia1]

Oh, never mind. I see the products she listed just above me.

it's APL now when stretched. i started back using Qhemet Biologics products. I love the Detangling Ghees and The Alma and Olive Heavy Cream. i like the Olive and Honey Hydrating Balm mixed with the Cocoa Detangling Ghee. soft hair for days. i am really trying to learn what i can and can't do with my hair. it seems it is turning into a Beast the longer it gets. just trying to find out what will keep it moisturized and a good regimen before the winter comes. i like the shampoo bars, but may go back to cowashing.

You're basically my hair twin. This is pretty much how my hair is, but its short now. How long is your hair. You said it was shoulder length when stretched? And what products do you use. I still use wave nouveau, I don't really have any staples.
