Happy Spring Day, All....
I'm new to the board.... I've been transitioning out of my relaxer for about eight months.... I've lurked this board for about as long.... Just wanted to introduce myself.... I have plenty of questions....
My basic story: I wore relaxers for almost 30 years (so if you do the math, I was about seven years old...way too young!) I gotta say that I admire those who have mastered the art of managing relaxed hair, e.g., stretching touch-ups, co-washing, and the like. For me, I'm on a different journey now!
Thank you in advance for being so patient with me.... As my knowledge and experience grows, I hope I can be of service as many of your postings have served me. Here's my first of many questions: can anybody help with definitions for the following terms/phrases that probably wouldn't appear in a hair textbook?
Crunchy
Clump(y)
Brittle
Absorption (or lack thereof) of water and/or oil
Just "sits" on the hair
