Hey!
I would like to try going cone free.
I know cones aren't evil and necessarily bad for everyones hair, because obviously various people will have varous effects of the cones to their hair. So, let me explain why I decided to try going cone-free in the first place. The thing is that I personally have really no idea whether it's bad or good for my hair. I don't think I have ever used cone-free hair products before. What I do know though, is that I don't know exactly even what texture type my hair is. My usual hair-washing routine = shampoo (with sulfates, but I have noticed it also has cones) & conditioner (with cones). Then towel-drying, followed by finger-combing and combing while still damp.
The usual results? POOFY hair... Not sure about the texture. Surely not stick straight, though. And I see no ringlets either. But I would like to classify my hair type/texture, because I want to know.
The interesting thing thing though, is something that happened a few years ago. I was at a summer open-air concert with a friend, and that night as we were dancing it suddently started raining. We stayed there for a while anyways (basically everyone did, there were some pretty awesome bands). After a while we were all completely soaking wet. Then when we left and went indoors into a restaurant I wanted to comb my wet hair, just like I'm used to. But I couldn't, because I realised I left my comb at home. Yikes. So that evening my hair air-dried there without me combing or touching it in any way, I guess. Then as I went into the restroom a while later and looked into the mirror, without even suspecting anything,... Wow, curly hair, actual ringlets. shudder: really unexpected and I have no idea what it means. How come hair is not like that after combing or brushing?
Any advice and tips in general or regarding hair products is welcome, as I would like to do some cone-free shopping. Which cone-free conditioner do you recommend? And which shampoo? I was thinking about getting one shampoo that is cone-free and sulfate-free, and another one that is very rich in sulfates (I would like to remove all the buildup with that first). Which shampoos are rich in sulfates?
