One of the benefits of having straight, thinner hair was always a low maintenance hair care routine. I used to be able to blast it with heat and hairspray. My hair was so shiny and abundant that I felt like I never needed to take care of it. I would use any hairbrush or put any product into my hair because it didn't matter - it's straight hair. Then I hit my 30's and my hair began to retaliate after years of mistreatment. The first thing I noticed was the thinning out of my hair. I was losing so much hair in the shower...
I have always had hair that's more wavy than curly and that behaves differently from one day to the next. Once I figured out a routine in college, I stuck to it like a religion. But I hated going through all those plastic shampoo and conditioner bottles and using mousse or texture sprays in aerosol. First I made the switch to products with more natural ingredients to be Earth-friendly, but the packaging still felt excessive. When I went zero waste in 2016, I started exploring all the low waste curl products to see what worked for my hair. What I didn't expect is to get better curl results...
