HG/Go-to Products: nothing is in my constant rotation right now. I keep coming back to Giovanni Smooth as silk for a leave in. Just recently discovered Garnier Triple Nutrition for a conditioner and I LOVE BRHG!
Average climate/dew points: Oklahoma, so we have 4 seasons, sometimes in one day. Tends to be hot and humid in the summer. And cold and dry in the winter. Windy all the time.
Fall/Winter combos: suggestions welcome
Spring/Summer combos: suggestions welcome
Favorite styling techniques and why: Plopping seems to regularly promote curls. I like to air dry but when it's cold I can't so I diffuse.
Techniques that didn’t work and why: I still haven't gotten the hang of clipping. I pretty much can't use anything but my fingers for combing/brushing or it frizzes up.
Hair Twins: still looking!
