Hello, hello, hello, my curlies. Before I write more articles and product reviews on this blog, I think it would be helpful to give you my “stats”, so to speak. Every football player has stats, which vary based on his or her competence in various skills. No two players are the same and some excel more in some skills than others. All natural-haired beauties are like football players. No two heads of hair are alike and we have different curl patterns, different porosity levels, and the list goes on. I now present to you my stats, so that you can compare and contrast my hair with yours and see how my hair responds to certain things versus how yours would. Like I said in my previous post, I have a combination of 4a/4b hair with a little patch of 3c in the back. I’m not sure about my porosity levels, but I think I might have medium porosity hair. The rate at which my hair absorbs products really depends on the product. Also, my strands don’t seem to be as thick as I used to think they were. When I make a part in my hair, it’s like parting the Red Sea. My scalp is so clearly visible, which leads me to believe that my hair is not very dense. The hair in the crown of my head, which is the most difficult area to deal with, is very fine and fragile, tends to knot up terribly and breaks the most easily out of all the sections of my hair. An important characteristic of my hair is….. IT HATES OIL. Seriously. The only oils it can tolerate are argan oil and, sometimes, avocado oil, but oils like jojoba oil are just terrible, and hot oil treatments are not normally a fun experience for me. It really takes a special kind of product to work well with my hair and I am yet to find that mind-blowing, earth-shattering, life-changing product. I do have a set of products that I can fall back on when all else fails, but I want to find my holy grail products and add them to my arsenal; those products that will give me moisture, decrease breakage and provide slip, shine, frizz control and curl definition all in one. And a great smell would be a nice added touch. Does a product like this exist? An all-in-one superstar that knocks my socks off? (Who am I kidding, Jamaica is way too hot for socks.) We’ll have to wait and see. Let the search begin!
