So I am currently trying to transition and help my curls due to giving myself heat damage one day because I didn’t deep condition before flat ironing and I was in a rush
but I am genuinely confused about the hair type as in (type 2 3 and 4) and density. I’m not sure if I’m wrong but I think I have a mixture of fine and thick strands? I definitely have high density.
does color/heat damage make the strands larger/thicker?
also I was wondering if I have type 3 hair and type 4 hair cause around my perimeter is pretty tight while the front/back half is loose. I suffer from seborrheic dermatitis and with my thick hair it can be so hard to manage. I tried to do a sew in to give my hair a rest and within a week I had so many flakes and patches and my scalp was literally burning because of how tight the braids were so I really wanna go natural to be able to wash and just go!
If you guys have any tips for my scalp condition as well as transitioning I’d appreciate it! I have done about two big chops because when I bleached my hair I went all the way to the root(focusing on the front) and my hair was 15 inches. Each haircut I did about 4 inches so I still have a few inches of bleached hair left especially on my top half. The oil treatment my dermatologist gave me led to balding and hair loss and I had to stop using it because my hairline was receding. I now try to control my condition with my shampoo and peppermint oil mixed with castor oil. The shampoo my dermatologist gives is never enough because I have so much hair I have to use half of the bottle for each shampoo day.
