I didn't know what else to call it.. it took a lot of oil to get my hair manageable enough to get it to work, but i really like it. happy.gif

pretty darn curly, especialy the last 8 inches or so, wavy the closer you get to the scalp.
individual strands are medium to fine, all my hair pulled into a pony tail is about 3 1/2" in diameter.

My length is at 30" pretty close to my 32" 1st goal!! YAhoooo!!

Next goal: classic

I haven't been conditioning, but do coconut oil, castor oil and olive oil in rotation.
I wash with an anti dandruf shampoo twice a week, I have naturaly dry hair, and a dry scalp and i find head and shoulders works best so far.
I will be experimenting with my very first Henna/cassia treatment within the next little while, we'll have to see how that goes.
