Experimenting with my hair

 I forgot which video I was watching to prompt me to buy these products,  but they seem promising. 

I think it's smart to take a note on haircare tutorial videos and pay attention to the type of products they use, and research how the products truly treat and "manipulate" your hair type based on accounts from individuals who may have a similar hair texture thanks to yours. I think the best thing to search up is search queries like "[hair goal] for [your ethnicity/background] [sex/gender]". That vagueness always helped me because everyone is truly different, especially due to the diets and more things.

I was able to change my hair texture due to some researching of mine. It used to be around 4C but now it's 3C. I'm trying to achieve 3A or 3B. I truly don't understand how people achieve it with less than five products. I realized I was using the curlers wrong, it depends on the direction the curls are in your hair but my mother keeps doing it the same way so I can't help but feel deeply disappointed when the curls are not defined in a sense I enjoy, lol.

I'm working hard to figure it out, but you may have to just simply sacrifice some parts of your hair to experiment to get what you'd like.

Just know that hair type is inconsistent and it hugely depends on styling. It's simple for me to achieve 2A-2B through styling tools. 

I really do like straightening my hair and leaving it as is, though.

Here are some of the hair products I purchased yesterday.

❥ Function of Beauty Zero Gravity Styling Mousse for Wavy Hair - 7 fl oz

I always knew about "Function of Beauty"'s existence through sponsorships of other Youtubers. From my understanding, it seemed promising when I was looking at what they provided on their website. I always remembered the brand's name so it's safe to say that I'm delighted to have a product of them of my own that's admittedly a bit generic and "plain" rather than a customized and individualized product. It has aloe and apple extract which sounds promising. I just can't wait for my hair to truly grow because I'm sick to death of my mother neglecting my hair so much, and making it matted for years. My aunt was the one who revived my hair by being patient by untangling all the knots instead of being sinister and cutting it all off, and I am truly grateful for that event, even though that was probably more than 10 years ago now, so thank you very much.

I might update you guys with a hair care video or a post. Function of Beauty seems promising in my book.

❥ The Doux Mousse Def Texture Foam - 7 fl oz

I saw this used in a hair tutorial video, I believe? I'm surprised it has green tea extract in it, lol. Hopefully it won't get moldy? Just kidding.

So it basically can define your curls or freeze a straightened hair style. I hope this'll really work, because I feel like the mousse my mom buys is a bit weak because her hair has been straight practically her entire life. Apparently, it can also resist humidity well, so I'm looking forward for that feature.. 

There are also Humectants, which are substances that draw and lock in moisture. I honestly didn't know that word until now, haha. It's crucially important to read product descriptions !!

I guess I'll use it when my hair is wet to see if I can achieve 3A. Wish me luck, everyone~

❥ Blow-out hair brush

I'm so happy I was able to find a affordable one at the hair aisle. I got this one so it's much more easier to style my natural bangs ^-----^ 

Japanese girls use a brush like this, so that's cool. I always wanted to style my hair like them. I already use Japanese shampoo and conditioner, and I love how my hair looks after I use these products, not to mention it gives a truly nice and consistent, persistent scent and my hair condition consistently becomes more healthier the more I use it. I was thinking of getting Korean shampoo in the future, but I'll see.

In other words/other topics

I made a "concoction" that's the ultimate hair-growth-and-moisturizer spray yesterday, essentially acting like Quinn from Zoey 101, lol.

It has peppermint oil in it, from a lip gloss container. I put a little bit on my hair and my hair stayed put and it grew a bit surprisingly instantly. My best friend told me that's what she used on her hair since she was small, and her hair is quite long, although I've never seen it relaxed. She would look something like this if it were to be:

Anyways, back to me, my brother also has hair growth oil that's targeted for women that he'd probably never share with me, so I took some of that in the "magical hair spray" as well. I should probably advertise and create hair products because I feel like I'm a bit clever with the wording, lol. 

My hair is in a protective style, so I cannot experiment a lot right now. I'm just purchasing a few products for when this style's time is up.

Thanks for reading this (:
