My hair is now very soft, very manageable, and somewhat fine strands with more wave like curl pattern and less coils/kink.
People in my family are telling me to stop complaining and that I should be happy. It is more manageable but I have NO IDEA how to deal my new texture. My hair right now is evidence of this. After I washed it, it was so soft and shiny (almost as if I could just bun and go) but I went into my normal regimen/routine of detangling and twisting while applying infusium23 and cantu shea butter. Big mistake. My hair is sooo dry now and it also feels as if I have product buildup. And I have no idea what to do....
I am guessing my hair can no longer handle so much protein. Infusium23 was a staple for me thoughout all my years in haircare-it held my hair together. I also feel like I have to be more cautious with this hair. I am used to the tough thick coily nature of my hair and now I am using smaller toothed combs to get annoying tangles. When it airdries it can get pretty straight. When wet, my curls become so defined now with the cantu shea butter. The individual strands look thin but but all together isn't.
I hope I am not coming off as dramatic but I really do feel like this is a hair identity crisis. lol
Has this ever happened to anyone? Or if you have a similar texture could you please post your regimen? What products do you use for moisture? Protein?
Here are some recent visuals:
