2c or 3a?
hii! this is my first ever reddit post im still testing the waters, but i wanted to start by asking about my hair type and moisture/protein balance. thanks for reading
ive only started taking proper care of my hair for about a year snd stoped straightening it since the past couple months. i use nym leave in, marc anthony curl lotion, snd nym gel to style. my hair used to be 2b a few years ago and im not quite sure where im at. is my hair 2c or 3a? i cant really tell because honestly the curls are pretty tight fresh after stying for two days snd the fall out to a looser pattern. my hair fallout has increased so its probably played a role in the curls tightening.
im also not sure how to do my hair every week. i wash my hair twice a week, but im not sure if i should use conditioner every time or a mask once a week because sometimes i use protein based products and sometimes i use moisture based products and every time the result varies
ive done the wet and dry strand test. when its wet, the elasticity is pretty good and bounces back to normal for the most part, and when its dry it stretches a bit then snaps. so what should i do 💔
