Did You Know...

Did you know that hair texture can change 7 times over the course of a person's life? Hair texture can also change every 5-7 years too! I know we can get hung up on "grade" of hair as people of color but the truth is it changes constantly for many reasons.

Diet can change hair as well as supplements like MSM. Treating hair differently can change it too. Excessive heat can change hair and so can simply moisturizing and conditioning frequently.

Even things like sulfur, cayenne pepper, and henna can have a loosening effect on a person's wave pattern.

Another thing that a LOT of people forget when talking about texture is weight. You may think you have the tightest texture in the world at shoulder length but you've never seen your texture at waist length. The longer hair gets, the heavier it gets. The heavier it gets, the looser the wave pattern becomes.

So don't be too deceived when you see a waist length sister who looks like her hair texture is a bit looser than yours. Because one day that might be you! I'm going through that now. My 4a is beginning to act like a 3c but for a lot of different reasons (supplements, sulfur oil, henna, and... weight. Almost WL.
