Hello fellow curlies and LHCers!
This is my first post on LHC! This site is soo cool and everyone seems friendly and helpful. I guess I should introduce myself. I'm Luminaria. I have many hair textures on my head. I have mostly curly hair and some kinky, wavy and straight textures too. I'd say I'm mostly 3c with 4a on the crown/ front. I have maybe 3b in the back and straight fine hair near my nape, I have silky slightly wavy hair on the sides. So I'm basically all in one. I used to straighten my hair ( flat iron and chemically), but I stopped because it made my hair thin out. So, I decided to wear my natural textures. I cut my hair to about 2" below my ears in January and now it's at my collarbone. I'm no poo and I wash every 6-8 days. I've hennaed before too. It's pretty tough to manage my hair. It's dry, frizzy, and puffy. It has many single strand knots too. I want to grow it long and healthy, so please give me advice about these areas:
-effective no poo routine for dry curly hair
-trimming hair for growth
-eliminating frizz
-short curly hairstyles
-preventing/removing single strand knots
-how often to wash hair
-rinsing hair with water only between showers
-rethickening thinning hair
-improving hair growth
-easy hair routine
Also, any other tips you might have would help. Thanks and nice to meet you! :)
