I'd like to know what you like about the way your hair feels.

I'm being nosy, I guess... but tonight I noticed that my washed-and-conditioned-this-morning-and-coconut-oiled-tonight pigtail braids feel like twisted silk sliding over my (currently) bare shoulders, arms, and back. It's such an interesting, sensual feeling. Neat!

My hair feels long....But not yet long enough, crazy huh!

My hair feels smooth and soft today. I stopped using keratin last night and did a deep condition, then CWC'ed this morning. The ends are still velcro, but most of the length just glides between my fingers.

Just a couple months ago, it only felt like this after I heat-straightened it. I have now been heat-free for over a month now! (It's a long time for me!)

My hair feels silky smooth..

My hair feels very soft and silky. I CO washed it yesterday and oiled it when it was wet. I discovered the benefits of wet oiling only about a week ago, and it's brilliant! My hair looks much healthier. :joy:

My hair feels... soft and poofy. I feel like if it was straight, my "blind feel test" would leave me very pleased with what I was touching - soft, smooth, long hair. But because it's curly and currently rather frizzy, the hand goes "Ah, soft... eek, b-b-b-ump, um, these strands probably have a knot, ooh this part is soft too.." xD But generally nice feeling, I think.

My hair feels baby smooth because I just washed out a hot EVOO-Coconut Oil-VO5 mask.

Earlier today it felt crispy tho

My hair feels wet; I just finished washing it. Cold, too! Brrrr.....but usually, it feels moisturized and slippery.

My hair felt like straw after washing it, but once it dried, it felt like 500 count cotton sheets ^_^ I know, weird description.

I am just happy when my hair feels like human hair! I spent so many years where it felt either like spider webs or cat hair! Actually, my cat's hair is more substantial than mine was! It had almost no texture......now, with shampoo bars, it has some "ooomph", and actually feels like HUMAN HAIR. Love it.....

Yesterday was wash day, so today it feels flyaway and frizzish...tomorrow it will feel soft and smooth enough to make today worth it. ;)

Silky and sleek. My new fun thing to do is take my braid tail and tickle my baby grandaughter. She just giggles like crazy and makes the cutest faces. She can now grab hold of my braid so I am going to have to start putting it up. She loves to get a hold of it and yank.

I love how my hair feels when I have a good shampoo and conditioner situation. When I was using Burts Bees my hair just felt so fat and firm and sleek. I love that.

Of couse I love how my hair feels on my back and skin. That is just heavenly.

I get the same thing too when I just leave my hair alone. The first day it has a bit of puff to it but then the second it is slowly becomes straight and slippery Oo....

Today my hair feels kind of like running my hand on ice.. except.. not cold?

My hair at the moment feels awful because its so greasy, I like my hair best when its wet and I tip my head back and it tickles my hips, that makes me feel really long!

Depends on where you feel it. I have these strands from the crown of my head that are always slick and shiny. The stuff closer to the nape of my neck is always wire-y no matter what I do, and the middle is...well, middle-of-the-road.

Currently, slick and oily, but not from coconut oiling. :eek: Tomorrow's definitely wash day. I love how much softer/silkier my hair now feels, given the stuff I've learned here and the changes I've made in the way I take care of it.

Kind of rough. It's been in a braid, and my braids always go frizzy and poofy... Also, I think I need to clarify.

Soft and fluffy from cassia last night. As always, silkiest underneath. :o

it feels so dense and smooooth. I did a deep treament and haven't had frizzies in days, and it's soooooooo soft and smooth. *loves on* It's heavy, and thick, and it keeps on crawling onto people who sit behind me's desks but it's awesome

Smooth and bumpy. Wash day today, so the curls are in full boing.

My new fun thing to do is take my braid tail and tickle my baby grandaughter.

The city humane society brings the animals to campus for them to get out, play, and meet new people, and for us to enjoy some furry company. I usually end up holding a kitten, and if the kitten's feeling playful, they'll go after the end of my braid. :kitten: It's very fun. I haven't held a child that would do that though. I hope the yanking doesn't get bad. :p

At the moment, my hair feels damp and bunned, hehe.

My hair feels kind of boingy today because I slept on it and didn't wet it yet.
Scalp feels a wee bit oily which is cool, because it's usually dry.

That is so weird we both used the same word to describe our hair! :) I promise I wasn't copying!

Hard - it's coated in hairspray , I went to a high tea today and have my hair in a formal upstyle :)

Cold and oily, since I just spritzed it with water and applied a glob of coconut oil to the ends before doing my nightly braid.

I once went out with someone who was absolutely fascinated with my then hip length hair. He was forever touching it and putting his hands in it, and he said it was warm (from my back, I suppose), and he just loved playing with my hair.

When I touch my hair, I know what he means - it's definitely alive, rather than a wig, I think. It feels so soft and the temperature varies, sometimes warm, sometimes cool. I do find hair very sensuous.

Mine is in a plait, and it feels like a rope of satin thread :D The ends are smooth and satin-soft too. I'm completely sold on poo bars, CO on length and citric acid rinse :D

Usually my hair feel soft, nice and precious. However, the last few days it feel coated and waxy and I can't find the reason why!

Could be buildup? I get that if I don't use an acid rinse. What's your routine?

I wash with sulphate-free shampoo and then follow with a heavy conditioner. I thought that it was build-up and washed several times with sulphate shampoo. Didn't impress my hair at all, it still feels like this and somehow, I've whoel strands that won't dry andmore and are always oily. I'll try an ACV rinse my next wash (in two days) but I need to be careful, it tends to give me real bad flakies if I don't dilute it enough.

My hair feels soft. When I'm wearing a short sleeved shirt, my hair feels like feathers on the back of my arms.

My hair feels soft and smooth. It's not how I like it to feel; I prefer more texture.

My hair feels soft, fluffy, and wiry. It also feels lively and full of personality today.

I was massaging my hair the other day, and I could feel the natural oils and every thing!! It felt exquisite! I just recently started washing every other day, so it's new for me!

Really soft but almost a bit greasy, I think I´m in need of a wash...

My hair feels heavy and wet and satiny. Just got done rinsing out a deep treatment. :)

It feels a little like an extremely strong spider web when I comb my fingers through it, when I touch it on the top and slide my hand down it feels completely flat and smooth, like it's made of rubber, but when it blows in the wind it comes alive.

Smooth, quite knotty, I so need to detangle! :D I hate no softness! I mean some parts feel as soft as I like... the other parts are justtt bleh. ._.

My hair feels covered in mud, because I'm doing a herb wash :D

Coconut-oily! I'm washing my hair when I wake up tomorrow morning.

It also looks very shiny in its braid right now, heh!

a bit dry, it has just had a clarifying wash.

It's so neat to read everyone's descriptions. Today I'm feeling sort of... ropey? My hair has a bad habit of turning in on itself and winding up in tight tendrils. It's weird.

Soft, somewhat silky, but also prickly at the ends.

I got a new conditioner and shampoo combination worked out a couple of weeks ago. It's been feeling softer and silkier every time I wash it. Yippee! The downside is that my fastenings have started to slide out unexpectedly (never happened to me before) and it's got more fly-away on wash days. Think I may have to do a protein treatment or something.

Anyway DH keeps catching me just taking time out to stroke it and grin when I'm detangling because it feels sooo nice. :D

My castile soap shampoo made it feel kind of waxy, but after drying, my hair feels pretty dang soft and fluffy, like it actually has life again ^_^ Even better, its not overly shiny from conditioner, which only makes my hair oily after a few hours.
