why so many curl types on one head?!

Mikel

This has been bugging me a lot lately, so here goes nothing. By the simple way of Mother Nature, my bangs are only 2a, practically straight, in the front. The hair on top of my head is only 2c-3a. All around the rest of my hair on the outside is mostly 3a with some 3b. Underneath the top layer, and in the back of my head, there are total 3c springs!! I can't stand this, and personally I would really enjoy having the nice springs everywhere! What should I do?! :dontknow:

Most of us have multiple hair types and yes, it is quite aggravating .. I'm part wavy, part curly (2B/3A) and in the summer some 3B.

I don't know that you could ever turn 2 hair into 3C without a perm. Keeping my hair in the best possible condition, using product and scrunching are the methods I employ to maximize curl.

Are you CG? If so, have you had a cut or trim since going CG? Some of the issues on the top are previous damage. The top of your hair is more exposed to the elements than the rest of your so it is more easily damaged.

Yea, it's a pain to have different types of hair. Mine is 3b/3c. My top is about 3b and underneath it all I have really springy 3c curls.

I have to agree with keeping it trimmed and healthy and you should be good to go.

Good luck!

I just had all of my hair cut and layered about two weeks ago, and I'm not using any cones, so I guess I am doing the CG method. I do scrunch and use some product, but it doesn't really work out how I want it. Would getting a perm, just a spot perm be reasonable at my age?

My hair is insane with all the different types. I have a chunk that is stick straight and it's right next to some 3c pieces. I have always toyed with the idea of perming it but it just seems like more effort than it's worth.

ninjadog does spot perms to get her hair to match all over. If you a search on posts she made and the word perm, you should get quite a few hits.
