Hair profile?: A mixture of 3's and 4's, I think? It's multi-textured (barely discernable micro zigzags in the immediate front, medium waves near my ears and top, very coarse zigzags in the crown, then all the rest is medium to small spiral curls). My hair is thick and holds heat.
Reggie and products?: Wash and Condition every 2-4 weeks or so. Or when I feel like it. I use Aveda Damage Remedy shampoo and conditioner, Pantene Relaxed and Natural conditioner, sometimes EVOO, sometimes full fat yogurt. I don't have a consistent regimen because I can't stand doing my hair.
How do you style your hair?: I wear a bun almost every day because I can't comb it without a hassle. In the summer, I usually braid extensions with the back cornrowed and the front in singles. 2x a year I flat iron and trim.
What problems do you have with your hair?:
Tangles and the "velcro" effect. My hair seems to velcro itself to itself to where I can't even finger comb it while dry. It's easiest to detangle when soaking wet.
If I let it dry before combing thoroughly or without some type of product, it will turn into a velcro ball. I have to detangle again after I detangle. And then it's still tangled.
No idea what products are best to use because I don't know what type of hair I have.
It's totally possible that I'm expecting too much out of my hair and wanting it to do things that my hair textures can't do.
For me, to say I am struggling is an understatement.
