I've typed myself as 2a because in its healthiest state my hair is borderline 2b, but in reality I find myself anywhere between 1b/c to 2a/b depending on the day, so this entire thread is #mood.
Does anyone else struggle, and I mean really struggle, to keep their ends and length hydrated? (Without sporting an almost perma-wet look.)
I swear my porosity is medium or low for the first 20-30 cm but from there on it's HIGH. You'd think I have chemically treated hair because of how it acts. Oh no. All but the last few inches are virgin, and that bit has only ever seen one round of 1-application-mostly-indigo henndigo gloss. Though the colour is identical to my natural colour, so it may even be gone at this point. I always get the most gorgeous results after having been caught out in the rain during the summer. Unfortunately I live where the weather is cold and dry for most of the year and it just sucks every bit of moisture out of my hair even just staying indoors.
I don't seem to be able to find a balance -- either I follow various methods (like LOC) and end up with my hair looking weighed down, limp, stringy, and all-around unflattering, OR I use less product and achieve light-weight, bouncy, shiny, proper waves only to end up like
