I had naturally puffy, frizzy midlength curly hair and i decided to cut it short..ultra short.. and i straightened it too!! I'm only 15 but I had straightened it (permenantly, using the cream and board stuff) 3 times already!!!
It's been 8 months since I cut my hair and now it's a little reaching the shoulder, quite straight but not sleek, and still quite puffy...
and now i want my curls back!!
will i ever get my natural old curls back?? how long will it take???

asimhuman,
I used to relax my hair as well. I let it grow curly then relaxed it again. Now my hair is almost completely curly and won't relax it ever again, 'cause mother nature didn't give me straight hair. The answer to your question obviously now, is yes. It will grow curly again, the hair texture will not be exaclty the same maybe for a while who knows, but you'll have your curls back! Now, it'll be a slow process as it is the hair that's growing that is curly. Since your hair is forced straight the new curly hair growing will make it break a little, so you'll have to be careful while in the shower; and cut your ends regularly to get rid of the relaxed part little by little. You're going to have to be very patient; but you'll get there.
Hope this helped. Let me know!
