  Hi All,

  I've posted a few times, but have mostly "lurked to learn"...

  I'm entering the awkward phase and as previous attempts have shown me the phase, for me, lives up to its name in full. I feel as though I am embraking on a journey I must take, but that the destination (final longhair result) is unknown. I have what I would call "multitextured" hair (and, in fact multicolor hair). My hair has different colors, naturally, and the texture seems to be related to the different colors. My hair is a combination of blonde/strawberry blonde, brown, and red with the sides more brown. I even have a few, rare black hairs. Also, recently, the past few years, I've changed to a much greater proportion of grey hair (FYI: I'm 38 yoa). The blonde/strawberry blonde and brown hairs are mostly straight and the red and grey hairs are mostly curly.

  Actually, this is not surprising since my grandmother (mother's side) had curly red hair, my mother is 'strawberry' blonde, and my father had dark brown/black hair, though he has mostly grey hair now.

  Does anyone else have such multitextured and/or multicolored hair? I would like to learn more about your experience in the awkward phase and with long hair?

  Thanks

    You are someone I would like to meet some day to compare hair.
    I have never met anyone with hair as varied as mine. I have a
    mix of about 60% straight, 20% wavy, and 20% curly. It is about
    60% medium, 20% coarse, and 20% fine. I have black, dark brown,
    brown, auburn, red, light brown, and blond. Overall it blends
    to a deep reddish blond colour. (see photo)

    I have a vast mix of different nationalities in me. Do you?
    Perhaps diversity of nationalities is the key to diverse hair
    types. This may be the answer to a question that has puzzled
    me for 40 years. Why is my hair so varied?

      my hair is like that, too. it varies from super pale blond to auburn to different shades of brown all the way to black. (there are a few greys thrown in for good measure.) the lighter the hair color, the thinner the strand of hair. and likewise, the darker it gets the thicker and kinkier i gets.

      i've always assumed it was from the different cultural backgrounds in my family. my dad is full swede and has different shades of blonde in his hair (much like simons). but my mom is a big mixed-up hash of cultures (although her hair is so dark brown it looks black). myself and all of my siblings all have hair like mine in varying shades of color.

        Thanks for your comments - I too have ancestors from different regions...

      Thanks for your comments...

      I too have thought that was the case... I am a mix of primarily Scottish and Norwegian, but also a few other Northern European countries if one considers my great-grandparents...

    I don't know if I can call my hair multitextured, but the grey ones do seem to misbehave more than the others. I just apply a little antifrizz serum occasionally and that solves that problem.
