Does your hair surprise you these days?

[Mahalialee4]

I have several but I will start with...1.I never thought my hair would look so good without oily products. I am using less and less oil, butters, etc. as time goes on. I am doing more oiling then steaming with plastic and prior to shampooing or conditioner washing. When I wrap my hair my own natural oil seems to kick in and by the third day, the oil present in my scalp and hair seems to appear. Has anyone else noticed this? Also, I am using daily leave in and conditioning sprays and just a touch of oil on the very ends and my hair looks much healthier and is easier to manage. Plus my hair is starting to bulk up with this regime

2. My hair does not thrive with braids anymore! It is fuller and healthier when I wrap but seems to thin out on the ends with braiding the last few times I tried it . I haven't braided my hair for so long and I am shocked that it is this thick on the ends and at the roots without having been braided.....I always thought it was braids only that thickened it up. What changes in growth-texture-thickness-growth spurts and product changes-styling options etc. has your hair surprised you with over the last six months?

Bonjour

That's funny. I am experiencing the exact same things that you are, word for word

Well, except for the braid thing.
