1. I have Hand-in-Hair syndrome.
If my hair is feeling super good and moisturized, I can't seem to keep my hands out of it. I just can't resist twirling each little curl to make sure it still feels good. It's ridiculous, I know. This sucks for my hair, though, because I've read that constantly touching curly hair can:
- break hair off
- take oil out of your hair and onto your hand (which makes it dry!)
- put oils from your hand onto your hair
2. I'm a product junkie.
Every time I hear of a good hair product for natural hair I want to buy it sooo badly. I've learned the hard way that not all products are worth the hype (but more on that in another post). Also, what works for other people's hair won't necessarily work for my hair, so going out to buy every product that gets a good review online is a huge waste of money.
But my main problem with being a product junkie is that I constantly change my regimen to fit in the new product, and my hair (lovingly named Rosalia) does not always agree with that. I really need to learn to put any new products back on the shelf and just walk away.
3. I'm heavy handed.
Whoever says a little goes a long way with products was sooo right!
I didn't really believe it at first. Once my hair started growing I realized that it's alot thicker than I thought it'd be. So even though I have a teeny Afro, I would use alot of product on my hair for maximum curl and moisture.
The result?
Angry hair!! Rosalia was an oily mess, not to mention I was going through hair products like nobodies business.
Now I know my hair a lot better and I realize that I just need water and a little oil for sealant and Rosy is good to go.
I know I'm not the only one with hair issues such as these! So what are your Curly Confessions? And does anyone have advice for me on how to get over mine?
Till' next time,
Peace and Love
