Page 4 of 4 Mixed types on One Head May be you have found that you have more than one type of hair on your head. May be the back of your head is curly while the front is coily or maybe the back is coily and the top is wavy. Or maybe you are like me and have a little bit of everything. The hair at my crown is wavy and soft. I have curls a little smaller than a pencil in various spots around my head and the back of my head is garden of coils. When I would finish washing my hair the back would be close to my head and it would get longer and fuller as it went to the crown. Finger coils and twist would look nice in part of my hair but no amount of gel or twisting would make it work in others. When I locked my hair half would be almost there while the other half was just deciding to begin. You get the idea. So if you have mixed types of hair I can completely empathize with you. I have found that it best when choosing a hair style to try to keep in mind how the area that is most resistant to the style will react and then style may hair accordingly. For example when I would double twist my hair I would sometimes put black rubber bands on the ends of the areas of my hair that were wavy to keep them from coming undone. When I would wear a loose natural, braid out or twist out, I would part pin and gel the front in a way that made the fact that some of my hair was coming undone look like it was planned. If you have mixed type hair, you may find mapping your hair types helpful. If you can’t feel the difference in textures have a friend look through your natural unprocessed hair and tell you what they find. It might give you an answerer as to why some styles don’t come out the way that you were hoping that they would.
