Why do you think it’s damaged?
I’ve been finding a lot of really damaged hairs (not many split ends, but lots of random kinks, bumps and other weird stuff). I generally attribute these to mental problems I has about a year ago, but I will accept that the other 20% is me manhandling it before I started my hair journey. About once a week I sit in the bathroom and snippity snip any serious damage I see, and I’ve doing this for about a month and I got a big 6 inch chop about half a year ago. The fact I’m still finding so many hairs on the verge of breaking concerns me. TLDR, my hair is poop
That is not an indication of damage whatsoever. You can have differently shaped follicles which result in random hairs with different curl patterns. Why would you have just random hairs that are damaged root to end but the surrounding hair isn’t.
I would also like to add that it doesn’t seem possible for my head to be composed of fine straight hairs that can’t hold a curl even if my life depended on it and a random anomaly that sprouts a curly hair. This fellow was one that came off in a weekly snip snip from the back of my head. It’s odd that the hair is damaged weirdly in a pattern, or it could just be a random errant hair.
Hair doesn’t get damaged into a curl pattern. Just because you don’t know the science, doesn’t mean it’s not possible 😉
Honestly in that case I would find it super interesting as to why I have random curly hairs just chilling on my head
Curved hair follicle
Now that I know that they’re there I found another hair that has a similar wiggle curl, it looks like it might be a 2a/2b but the rest of my hair is still 1b so I’m confused
I get these too! Theyre so strange! I think theyre ‘natural.’ When I was getting my first haircut the dresser noted to my mom I had strange, really coarse hairs randomly.
about the coarse hairs I have them too! I have mediumish to fine hair but then every now and then I get a random thick one. This is the first one I’ve found so far.
