I Am So Proud!!! (Peeksures Included!)

[that_1_grrrl]

Okay, I just had to share my hair with all of you today. I washed it and was just loving how it looked.

My routine for today:

DC'ed with Giovanni's Deeper Moisutre and Eco Styler Cholesterol
Rinsed with Neem/Shikakai/Amla/Honey tea and let sit for a minute
Co-washed (to removed grit from rinse) with V05 Champagne Kiss
Sealed with Coconut Oil

Attached are the results .

Excuse the goofy look in the first pic. I swear I do not look that goofy irl.

Don't you just love it when you have a great hair experience!

What is the LOIS system?

It's typing the hair based on these steps:

Step one: Take a strand of your hair and not the bends, kinks and coils. These patterns will resemble one of more of the letters L, O, I or S.

L - If the hair has all bends, right angles and folds with little to no curve
O - If the strand is rolled up into the shape of one or several zeros like a spiral.
I - If the hair lies mostly flat with no distinctive curve or bend.
S - If the strand looks like a wavy line with hills and valleys

Step Two: Determining strand size

A strand of frayed thread is about the thickness of a medium sized strand of human hair. If your strand is larger than this, then your hair is thick. If your strand is smaller than this, hair is thin, or fine

Step Three: Hair texture

Thready - Hair as a low sheen, with high shine if the hair is held taut (as in a braid), with low frizz. Wets easily but water dries out quickly.
Wiry - Hair has a sparkly sheen, with low shine and low frizz. Water beads up or bounces off the hair strands. Hair never seems to get fully wet.

Cottony - Hair has a low sheen, a high shine if the hair is held taunt and has high frizz. Absorbs water quickly but does not get thoroughly wet very fast.

Spongy - Hair has a high sheen with low shine with a compacted looking frizz. Absorbs water before it gets thoroughly wet.
Silky - Hair has low sheen, a very high shine, with a lot or low frizz. Easily wets in water.
According to this method, I have OS, medium, spongy hair.

I do not think I got the texture of my hair right. It is a bit confusing.

Thanks - that is a very interesting typing system, far more descriptive than the numbers.

Your hair is so cute. My hair is very very similar. And according to the Lois system I'm an O,S, medium, and spongy as well.

Anyway, I'm glad you shared this today. It's always great to hear when someone has a good hair experience.
