New Growth!

[Gaea]

I was wondering about how many people say that their new growth is unmanagelable and whether this has to do with hair type or thickness...

I don't have unmanageable new growth.
My hair type is 3c/4a and it is of medium thickness.

I won't say "unmanageable", but I will say "hard to manage".
It's difficult to keep the new growth moisturized enough to keep it soft and prevent breaking at the demarcation point. Whatever I put on the new growth to try to keep it soft, makes it look like a mini afro under my relaxed ends

I think without moisture my new growth is definately unmanageable. Right now I have less detangling and manipulation problems compared to these long hair divas. I can't exactly how I did it with longer hair but I'm prepared to tackle any new growth for when my hair gets longer.

My newgrowth isn't unmanageable, I never saw it that way. It's just more challenging to work with as it get grows out and requires special attention, such as more moisture and less manipulation as the other ladies mentioned. Also, as our hair gets longer, it seems to stretch out the newgrowth a little more so it becomes a little easier to work with.
Before LHCF, I didn't even think about how to work with my newgrowth, I just relaxed it.

My new growth (about 7 weeks worth) is harder to manage than my relaxed hair, but it is manageable.I've actually fallen in love with my new growth.

I can't stop touching it. My hair is of medium thickness, and it is probably 3b/c.

my new growth is unmanageble, it's THICK and i guess i'm a 4a/b since that's the only thing even similar to my hair.

I have absolutely no problems with my newgrowth and I have thick hair 3c/4a. No tangles, no nothing and I have almost 6 months of new growth.

All I do is oil it after I wash it and it's fine. I just thought it to be funny that others have problems with it because prior to visiting this board, I didn't know that people "couldn't handle" their hair. I guess it's just that everyone's hair is different.

My newgrowth isn't unmanageable, I just have to use the right products on it. I have 4a/b thick hair.

I manage mine quite easily. I only have a patch where it gets too dry sometimes and a spritz of water and a dab of oil or such takes care of that immediately. Once a week I will do a total moisture treatment for my newgrowth with root health when I'm up there in touch up weeks but thats mainly for moisture, not because I can't handle it. Once you find the best products for you it's amazing. I really do love my new growth but I'm just not ready to go cold turkey yet.

<font color="purple">I have 3a/b hair. When my new growth comes into play, it's thin and not unmanagable. My hair is fine in texture and still uses oils at the roots and throughout the hair. </font>
