Showing off curlies (TheSoulforged)- LOTS of pics!

[kwaniesiam]

I gave a new member, TheSoulforged here a deep conditioning treatment and trim today. Photo documentation!

First was a coconut milk soak on the length, followed by an SMT for an hour. Then after rinsing, finished with a heavily diluted ACV rinse.

Befores, with heavy oiling of coconut, jojoba, and shea butter:

During, he was not amused (yay pore strips!) :o

Trimmed about an inch of splits off, still damp with some aloe gel:

Any input on hairtyping? I said 3A/M/C/ii.

[Pixna]

What a terrific friend you are!! His hair turned out GREAT!! I agree with your typing, although I can't weigh in on the texture since it's hard to tell from a pic. Kudos to both of you!!! :applause:

[CLynn]

Wow! His hair turned out Great.

[Longhairpixie]

WOW! very nice

[OhioLisa]

Love those curls! Excellent job! :)

[suicides_eve]

wow his curls look great on him! fantastic job! I would guess possibly 3b/c

[Presto]

Tighter than mine, I would give that at the very least 3b. It has had handling and product though, so it could be either looser or tighter than completely airdried would show.

Hmm, second and third thoughts say maybe even 3b/c by the time it's dry-ish in the last picture.

Fourth thoughts say it looks like the bits near his face have tighter spring than the pieces in back. I'd love to trade some of my not-as-curly front bits for some of his tighter-curled front bits so we could both have an even mix of curliness. :D

Good work there! My money is on 3b overall.

[GlassEyes]

Very nice!

I see 3b curls near the front, but looser spirals in the back, so I'd say 3a/3b.

[yzkaloha]

Great Hair! Wow

[kwaniesiam]

Thanks everyone! He should be by later too :)

I'm thinking 3a/3b now too. It's a looser curl when air dried according to my limited knowledge and tends to get really frizzy.

[TheSoulforged]

Thanks for all the compliments. For a long time, I've been stubbornly trying to straighten my hair, but I guess I've finally given up on that. It's just too bad the nice curlies got messed up at work after that...

[AutumnLeaves]

A spa day for SoulForged? Lucky guy! His hair came out fantastic, Kwaniesiem!

:thud:

AWESOME curls! Oh and those pore strips are way awesome...did you totally look at all the grossness with interest and disgust like I always do?Hah, yeah, that's always fun. It wasn't nearly as bad as the time I used one back last fall, though. It was the first time I used one, it was not pretty....

[kwaniesiam]

No, no it was not :wigtongue

I have evidence!

Hi Soulforged!! Welcome to LHC. You have beautiful hair. You're quite the brave one to have your pic taken whilst in progress. LOL!!! The end result is wonderful!!! Yeah, I hadn't initially wanted that put up, but she somehow convinced me to let her.... or rather, just did it anyway :p

Btw, if you're gonna show that, you have to show the full version you made.

[Drynwhyl]

Lol, that's great, guys and spa treatments <3 :P
Your curls are lovely. (So is the Immortal shirt)
*praises kwanie for spreading the hair knowlege*

[mugglemomof3]

Ooh ooh ooh - purdy! And he looks so handsome with long curls!!!

My first thought was 3b at least. ??

[Starr]

Welcome Soulforged!

My vote is for 3a, with a little 3b here and there. Yup.

[eyesofsummer]

Nice curls! Do you use aloe vera gel? I've found that doesn't give me enough hold to last the whole day, but is better used as something to smooth down frizzies. Maybe try out some heavier gels? Some may feel a little 'crunchy' but as soon as the hair is dry you can scrunch at it a bit and the gel will loosen up.

What a cutie, I mean curly, I mean cute curly. Seriously though those are awesome curls and very healthy hair.

[kwaniesiam]

Well, it figures it wouldn't last. Back to the frizz :rolleyes:
