Hair Analysis

I had an analysis done by Live Curly Live Free and was quite amazed at the findings. I just knew that my hair was low porosity and fine. Instead, the analysis showed that my hair is normal porosity, medium-coarse texture, and normal elasticity. Also, if I read it correctly, my hair is pretty receptive to things like perms and hair dyes. Now that really throws me for a loops because perms just never really "took" like I thought they should and hair dye doesn't last long at all....maybe a couple days. My hair doesn't grow fast so I know that's not the case.

At any rate, the analysis also provided a list of products that work well with the type of hair that I have. None of the products I've been using were listed. So this means buying new products to try. :-( On the plus side, I can see some of the recommendations (Jessicurl Cleansing Creme and using Giovanni 50:50 conditioner as a conditioner and leave in) can help to maintain more moisture than my current regimen (Giovanni Deep Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner followed by Kinky Curly Knot Today Leave in). I'm willing to give it a shot. I'll keep you posted on the results.
