That's what the databases at FCBS are for. Just enter "wilsoniana" as seed parent, then do a second search with it as pollen parent. The photos should answer your questions. Here is a link that might be useful: FCBS Neoregelia Photo Index Database

If you want the spiky look, then mousse would probably give you the finish you want. My hair has gotten some curl in it which tends to get unruly in the summer, so I've found "It's a 10" leave in conditioner which seems to control and add a lot of shine. I get the walmart equate version though. I figure if it's popular enough for walmart to copy it, it must be well received in general. This is me on vacation in ID, just toodling around...I also don't color my hair...never have and am delighted to not have to start...yet anyway. But short hair is wonderful. It takes me 30 sec to dry my hair and go. Last thing I want to do is complicate my life. Congrats on the new do!

This is the one I use. I've been using it about 5 years, I'm not unhappy with it. I just wondered if there was some new thing that I was missing out on. https://www.sephora.com/product/the-true-cream-aqua-bomb-P394639?skuId=1686427&icid2=skugrid:p394639:product Sephora has an interesting Belif holiday gift set. This one has moisture bomb, not aqua bomb. https://www.sephora.com/product/belif-explosive-hydration-moisture-bomb-set-P477962?skuId=2500197&icid2=skugrid:p477962:product https://www.allure.com/sponsored/story/how-to-choose-the-right-belif-moisturizer-for-your-skin Also, I'm not a paid spokesperson! :)

I'm going to keep the Kristen Ess in my back pocket. They've discont'd my fave Aveda Scalp benefits conditioner. I was able to get 2, one litre bottles on sale so that should last me a year or two. I've tried to switch in the past just due to the cost of the Scalp Benefits (it went up to $130 with tax for 1 litre!) but always went back to it. I've been tempted to try some of the Olaplex products. My DD2 has very long, very thick, very curly hair and she has used them occasionally, but didn't seem smitten. I'm tempted to try the one suggested above for frizziness. My hair is not straight, but not curly. Just wavy enough to look a mess when it's humid. For my own product recommendations, I've jumped on the mushroom bandwagon and am taking Lion's Mane daily in my tea. Too early to tell how it's working, but it is draining my pocket book. :-)
