Fine or soft?

Hey curly girlies!

I have a question.

After I DC'd this weekend, my hair has been tres soft and.. in some places, I can even say silky.

But I'm wondering, is my hair finer than I previously thought? I've been told that my hair is dense (no denying that) and very coarse.

But feeling my hair, it doesn't feel coarse to me. I've yanked two strands, one was thin and the other was thick lookin'.

Do you think my hair is fine in some spots, coarse in others? And I thought my Aubrey Organics shampoo would kill my hair, but it doesn't. In fact, it tangles and sort of brittle-ates my relaxed hair but makes my natural hair feel healthier.

I've never actually seen fine, medium, and coarse hair strands. Maybe I need to do some research and re-evaluate my hair.

Yeah, it sounds like you have a mix of fine and coarse strands on your head. I think that's very possible and more common than you think. I think most of my strands are fine but I have diff textures on my head. Some areas the curl is looser or tighter than others.

Hm! I know I have different curl patterns on this noggin, but different textures? Maaan.

But I wonder, could I possibly experience overconditioning with the finer strands while it doesn't affect the coarse, or protein overload with the coarse strands while the finer strands are happy?

Eeee, so much to think about. Can't wait until I find my HGs (aka, when I get a job)!
