27. My daughters hair is probably c3

She's never processed it. She's 48 years old. When I had control of her hair I kept it short most of the time and conditioned it with olive oil. When past shoulder nlength I would plait or corn row. As she got older, she would use a hot iron to straighten it but when it gets past shoulder length it breaks too easy. She's wearing her hair chin length with it shaped to be shorter on top because when it's all one length it flattens out on top and she looks better with a more rounded shape and fullness on top. She has medium dry hair and doesn't do a heavy condition but spritzes a light conditioner between cleansing and a heavier application on her edges She uses an auburn tint to highlight the natural red in her dark brown hair. She hasn't used a hot iron in years.
She has a combo of hair types because she's a combo woman,lol. White,black,hispanic and a touch asian
I really enjoyed braiding her hair when she was little, a good time to talk. We still do hair talk, she likes to change her look. We live 100's of miles apart so I love that we can text each other.

I don't know what's wrong with me. I see sisters with natural hair and I just FEEL it, you know what Number23 Jun 2016 #1
