I have been natural for 2 years. Year 1 I wore in braid-outs, and micros. Then I cut hair into bob and wore for another year with blow and flat iron. I never needed my hair "pressed" or dominican blow outs because its pretty soft and will conform with heat.
This last go round I got 3 inches cut off and to save my hair from heat I got a texturizer on the roots. Now I do wash n go's, sometimes wearing it out, sometimes in a ponytail, with ends tucked under.
I co wash 3 times a week because I ride (horses) alot and hair gets very sweaty under a helmet. I DC onnce a week,
My hair feels softm but dry. I have a shea, aloe, coconut/castor oil mix to keep in hydrated. Do the dryness is undercontrol, unitl my hair rebels.
But the elasticity is HORRIBLE> I notice mostly when hair is wet, like when conditioning in the shoer, but also when hair is dry.
what can be done, if anything to improve the elasticity. I didnt feel ai had this problem when it was natural, but flat ironed. I think my hair likes to be flat-ironed, is it possible the constant co-washing it is making it LESS elastic?
Help!
TIA
