All About my Hair:
My hair is very multi-textural ( I hate that) its very loose curls in the top 3b, the sides are more in the 4a range and the back is all 3c/3b. I've used henna since I was transitioning, so my year mark was in August. I usually henna once a month. I have seen a dramatic change in my hair since. It had definitely loosened the curl pattern ( which I like). Has made it shiney! Sheen! Like many I battle the shrinkage that comes along with natural hair. I have a LOT and I mean a LOT of frizz in between the coils. My hair's natural color is jet black and the only color I use is henna. I would say my hair is thick, medium to fine, and holds water like a beast. It takes more than 24 hours to dry my hair. I barely shed hair and breakage is something I barely see as well. I detangle in the shower first with my fingers and then with a WIDE TOOTH comb. I think the henna has made it so I don't get tangles. I was battling knots, but I did a min-trim and I don't have anymore problems.
