My client came in having never seen her hair curly without being super frizzy. And while I can minimize the frizz for my clients and teach them how to do that at home, sometimes frizz can get confused with expansion. And expansion is a whole different thing. Curls want to expand and they wanna fluff. and if you want any kind of volume, you're gonna have to be okay with some level of frizz. For my client today she didn't care at all about the expansion she actually likes the volume, but she was never seeing definition in her hair because it was what she referred to as frizzy and honestly what a lot of my clients refer to as frizzy. But to me her hair wasn't frizzy, it just wasn't defined and it was super dehydrated. Her curls had so much surface build up that water couldn't get in, and any moisture or conditioning agent that she was applying on top of her hair just wasn't doing anything because it was all sitting on the surface creating more buildup. Also, so sorry if I sound super tired, I've been travelling so I'm just like exhausted right now. But anyways, if your hair isn't getting wet, it can be a lot of things and a lot of people are really quick to just jump to oh my hair is low porosity, my hair is high porosity without trying to figure out why your hair is doing that. And yes, you can have naturally low or high porosity hair, but your hair should always be able to get wet. For example, I was wetting my client's hair down and her hair refused to take the water in. And when she told me about the products she'd been using, I realized she's probably just having a surface build up issue. she's been using these products and just wearing her hair up in a bun for many, many years. So on top of the build up, we also had a lot of breakage to be mindful of. Just from pulling her hair back like that. We detoxed her hair from all that product build up, and I also got rid of that mineral build up as well. And then we started to rehydrate and remoisturise. And if you go back, you can see how her hair was not getting wet when I was first wetting it down. And I was wetting her hair down for over a minute and it still would not take any water. Adding conditioner and repair treatments and oils and stuff is not the answer to dehydrated hair. Her hair came back to life because we finally got some water in it. And here's how it came out.
