There's not a lot out there that tells me what to do with my hair texture as it gets longer. As my hair grows, the older hair becomes more loosely curled and there is less uniformity.

In the past, every time I reached this point, I cut my hair. Now, I'm going to push past this ugly stage, and in the meantime find new solutions for my hair's changing texture and length.

Since I don't have access to all the great products for black hair in the US, I'm making my own. I am also on the lookout for styles.
