Looking for Hair Twins Empty Looking for Hair Twins

Like many, I've given up on the hair typing. The more I research it, the more confused I become. Right now I think my best option is to find people with a similar hair type and try some of the things they use until I can eventually learn what works best with my hair. I have a great mentor now @TravelJunkie, but I'm always looking for more people to assist me in this sometimes stressful journey.

Here's my hair wet:

And here's it dry:

If your hair looks anything like this, your help is definitely needed. My main issues now are dryness and shrinkage (me and everyone else on here huh? lol)]

Juices- hey I just wanted to comment...Even if a person is your hair twin. You guys may still not be able to use the same products. I found this out the hard way. I thought that I had found a hair twin, only to find out that my twin was not protein sensitive, I AM!

That's a very good point. I'll have to keep that in mind. Ultimately, I've just got to figure out what works with me... without being 1000s of dollars in debt. Lol

Just remember to start out small- Use each item for at least a week to see how your hair responds-
being protein sensitive, I couldn't wait a week, I found out quick. My hair (nyla, is her NAME) like shaft, she is a bad mother- shut your mouth
She was like What a Face No affraid


Like I told my lil sis- get the basics, a co wash, a clarifier, a detangler, a moisturizer and a sealant.

Ok let me stop- it s late and I am rambling!

What exactly does it mean to be protein sensitive? Does your hair just not respond well to it? Are you allergic to it?

Whenever I apply protein- avocados eggs bananas- it fries my hair out terribly> My hair feels like steel wool. It makes my hair extremely hard and brittle.

Also, try requesting samples or buying items in travel size. I came across a few of my loves doing my search that way.
