FINALLY, at 44....I've gained my true hair identity!
Back in lockdown in 2020, I started wearing my hair curly for the very first time. Since I was stuck at home, no one could laugh at the bird’s nest taking over my head! Very slowly.....after years and years of relentless straighteners....the curls started to appear. It was an arduous task, to say the least.
My curl pattern is completely wild and odd (very tight, almost afro-textured at the nape of my neck, but long and loose at the crown). Styling was always an absolute task, and getting it to sit in a nice, cohesive shape felt almost impossible.
Since then, I’ve worn it curly on and off, but I’d ultimately revert back to the blow-dry and straighteners. I just never felt like my curls suited me....they were always bushy, crispy, or stringy, and no two days ever looked the same. I’d wake up to that bird’s nest all over again, spend an absolute eon styling it to look just "OK," and by the end of the day? A big old mess of frizz. More often than not, it just ended up scraped back in a bun.
I have invested... and I mean INVESTED HEAVILY... in products. All of them from high street brands to high-end luxury. Some worked better than others, but none were enough for me to actually like my hair.
Then came this...
I ummed and aahed for so long. Did I really want to buy another "wonder" product? In the end, the online before-and-after photos and glowing reviews finally swayed me.
Well... let me tell you: I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and WOW, just wow.
The definition! The ease of styling with just the right amount of "slip"! The total lack of frizz....even after a full day out in the wind, and even when waking up on day three! It brings all my different curl patterns together effortlessly into a shape I actually love. My hair has been nowhere near a bun since I started using it, and I have zero intention of reaching for the straighteners.
My hair finally feels like it belongs to me. These are MY curls, and deep down I always knew they were there... Toolab just helped me finally discover them. Thank you!
