streekgeek: Thinning is not always good. My sister had her hair thinned and it was as poofy as ever and very itchy as it grew back in. She regretted it for a long time. (My mother’s sheitelmacher described her hair as the second worst she’d ever seen. Beautiful, I mean, but very hard to deal with. She now gets keratin- not enough to keep it always straight but enough to keep it manageable.)
Did anyone ever try the Curly Girl method? My friend swears by it, but I’ve always been a bit too chicken to try it.
