Im low-key on the verge of tears because I was cursed with Type 1A thin and fine hair. It’s damn near impossible to style, or if it is styled good no product holds it well for no longer than 2 hours . Don’t tell me to use texture powder THATS A MYTH I have some and it makes my hair look oily and staticky and no matter how many times I style it, it falls/stays fucking flat and I can’t even run my fingers through it because of how dry and stuck together it will get. Also sea salt spray is shit it just makes my hair look oily and applies no volume (I usually applied it when my hair was either dry or damp). The only time my hair looks good is if I apply hair spray (specifically the brand called tresemme) before I go to bed and I do that for two days (Id still wet my hair in the shower after each day in that time span, just to help prevent/remove access oils and to much left over product which I find helps my hair hold thicker for the next day) and then I reapply a little bit of hair spray then sleep in it. The 3rd day is when it looks like my hair is naturally thick and voluminous for the most part, but it will only look like that for that day then obv I have to wash with shampoo cause then later in that day it ends up getting too oily and staticky anyways since 1A hair needs to be washed every other day to 3 days max since how fast it collects oil. I’ve gotten loose perms before and they actually look good and work with volume and styling for the most part, but I don’t want to damage/destroy my hair, Im 21 and even tho Im cursed with shitty hair type genetics, it’s still a very healthy head of hair, I haven’t had my hairline recede to much only like very very little (which im sure is normal after puberty cause of maturity. I didn’t start going through puberty until I was like 17. I was a late bloomer don’t make fun of me HAHA). I’ve started taking minoxidil like 2 weeks ago in hopes that it will make my hair grow in thicker and fuller and prevent future receding/balding. Will minoxidil get rid of these problems Im having, or at least make my hair more manageable and provide better styling sucess? Also will it help make my hair appear similar to other thicker straight hair types or is that just cope? And my last question is if anyone has any other advice or routine that helps them I would like to know that too. (Google is absolutely useless at this point because it’s just filled with false 1A advertisers and mixed answers on every hair-type except mine. Of course mine is slept on smh) anyways someone please give me answers/advice. Thanks.
