Hello all!
This post is going to be pretty lengthy, so I apologize in advance.
I am 100% completely fed up with my hair.
I have always had thick frizzy hair. Over the past few years I have tried to tame it, but have failed & just resorted to straightening it when I want to wear it down.
About a year ago or so...somewhere along the lines (not sure when) for some reason my hair decided to be even MORE stubborn & barely stays straight. I try to straighten it & it stays straight for maybe an hour or so then it starts to poof up & frizz again.
Not to mention, it's not even shiny anymore when I straighten it. It's not pin straight either....it's like a dull lifeless straight that's ready to frizz at any second.
A TICKING TIME BOMB OF FRIZZ!
SO...I stopped straightening it. Cause it's damaged. I haven't straightened it for about 10 months....BUT STILL I tried to straighten it the other day & it takes at least 3 swipes of the straightener per strand, up to 45 minutes, & an hour later it looks poofy and terrible. It's not even worth it.
Still reading??? Here's the kicker....
So I started testing/using every kind/brand of moisturizing shampoos & conditioners......thinking it would work. silly me.
All it did was make my hair oily AND dry/not shiny/lifeless at the same time.
HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?!?!?!?!
I don't even know how to describe what my hair texture is like.....
It's thick....but it's not heavy. When I straighten it, it's kind of fluffy and lightweight, but thick at the same time. Does that even make sense? When I straighten it, it should be weighed down....right????? Does that make sense either?
It's dry....not shiny at all. none! I want some shine!!!
It used to take only 20 minutes to straighten....but now it takes 45 minutes.
When I used to straighten it, I could tuck it behind my ear and it would fall back in front of my eyes (like hair should) & I could run my fingers through my hair and it would still be pin straight, soft, weighed down, & would fall back like straight hair should!
NOW...i tuck my hair behind my ear and I get a huge dent in my hair where I tucked it & the ends turn upward & it starts to get poofy. I run my fingers through my hair & it just makes it poofier. Even if I don't touch it at all, it still goes POOF. poof poof poof.
I know this was a LONG ASS post, but I'm fed up!! Does anyone else have the same problems as me or am I a lone wolf?!?! :-(
I have tried every hair product, heat protectors, shampoos, conditioners.
I am seriously considering getting a Keratin Treatment.
For now, I'm stuck putting it up into a bun every day.
DOES ANYONE KNOW THE ANSWER?
Does anyone else suffer from lifeless, dull, poofy, thick (but lightweight), frizzy, mind of its own hair?!
PHEW!
Thanks
