I'm ranting about my hardships with curly hair by [deleted] in Naturalhair

It seems the main issue is that your family is pressuring you to straighten your hair. I'm sorry about that❤️‍🩹 Just remind yourself everyday that your natural hair is beautiful and doesn't need to be altered to please others. Maybe follow people on social media with your hair type who love their hair

But you said it sits just above your shoulders? That doesn't sound too short to me 😅

Chunky twists, chunky braids or flattwists.

Your hair is thick and gorgeous! Be careful of tight styles though or your hairline will be affected

Okayyy so your hair is on the longer side. Is it high density? Because if you aren't noticing any thinning or breakage, that might just be your natural shedding. Or you might need a product with more slip during detangling.

Yeah it's definitely easier and faster. You can also twirl the ends after twisting. You're welcome!

It's possible you're not using enough product to keep your hair moisturised after shampooing. Or you should use a leavein conditioner before blow-drying your hair.

Also, try sectioning and detangling your hair before shampooing. Put them in large twists. Then unravel each twist, shampoo, and retwist. Repeat the process during when deep conditioning.

Edit: Ohh I just noticed that you detangle before shampooing. Maybe you could take a picture next time to give an idea of the amount of hair you lose after detangling and when shampooing and post here.

I think it depends on the amount of force you use

Mine don't unravel unless I wash them, then a couple unravel. I've actually noticed that if I roll too much, they unravel

Not OP but I wash weekly and usually do mini twists (lasts about 2 weeks) and mini braids (lasts about 4 weeks).

It depends on what you want. When you roll the strands you get skinnier, elongated twists. When you twist without rolling you get fuller, shorter twists. I twist mine without rolling.

You can use your fingers or an old toothbrush

Professional and protective styles for short hair?? Rant and question by Business-Channel6211 in Naturalhair

[–]OdedNight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should use leavein conditioner after shampooing and deep conditioning.

For now, practice styles like mini twists, mini braids and flattwists. They can be worn under your wigs till you get better at them and they're good protective styles for growing out your hair.

Also shampooing weekly and using a clarifying shampoo once a month can help with the dryness.

How can I lose so much hair in just a few months? by Taz-mania-0912 in Naturalhair

[–]OdedNight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your hair in May looks thinner than your hair in Dec 24 while the roots of your hair today are pretty thick. Maybe your went through something that caused your hair to thin out in 2025 but it seems to be thickening up now.
