Re: Does hair have memory?
Hmm, tuff question, I want to know the answer too :)
Re: Does hair have memory?
Damage? I don't think so. No heat, no gels, no blowfry... what's to do damage? ;)
My hair just collapses, slips right down if I let go of it. Only braid waves I get is if I braid it damp and let it dry a few days. They will straighten themselves out fairly rapidly unless the day is exceptionally dry. It does, however, makes "strings" quite easily. :(
My mom would have loved working with your hair, mine defeated her.
Re: Does hair have memory?
Mine will do the same thing, kind of. I can encourage curl by twirling strands around my fingers while it dries, or I can make it straighter by combing. On the other hand, it kind of has a "mind of its own". I can't count on it doing anything I want. It likes to fluff out all over the place mostly.
Re: Does hair have memory?
If I just twist it it won't do anything, but my hair will hold rope braid curls for days. =)
I think part of that's your natural waviness, though I could be wrong.
Re: Does hair have memory?
Yeah, it's waviness/curliness.
I can get my hair to stay in a sausage curl for hours when it's wet, or bunned--and I get these odd tendrils from cinnamon buns instead of true waves. xD
Re: Does hair have memory?
my hair has amnesia!
If a do a simple knot, it WILL fall out. twist it, even braids are difficult to hold. I have slept with rollers, and the curls will fade after 3 hours top :(
Re: Does hair have memory?
Mine is the opposite of the OP's....it holds a curl very well (heat-free curlers, of course!), but braid waves and finger twists slip out within the hour. The braid wave photo in my album was taken immediately after I took the braids out - otherwise it would have looked as it normally does.

*laughs* My mom hated my hair and kept it boy-short until I was a teenager. :D
Re: Does hair have memory?
Mine will too. It seems to work best when it's properly oiled and moist, actually, so I can't imagine it's hurting it.
