Hi,

I used to have beautiful natural long tight ringlets, but since I suffered from some hair loss 3 1/2 years ago, my hair has become a lot less curly - it#s more wavy now! My hair is naturally very fine and quite thin, it just billows up when dry because of the natural curl - I`ve tried almost every product going for curly hair to try to refresh them, with no success - although I notice that the hair itself just doesn`t create the ringlets it used to. I`ve also cut my hair a lot shorter to not weigh it down. Otherwise my hair is very healthy since it has grown back, shiny, no split ends or anything - it#s just wavy instead of curly!.. which really upsets me actually - I don`t feel like me at all.
I don`t really want to get a perm, as like I said my hair is actually quite thin and fine and I can`t afford for it to go wrong.
Does anyone know of a way to get my curls back?? or at least know how this happened?

worried and rather desperate,

Siobhan

Hi - well my hair didn`t turn wavy through my wanting it to - it just sort of happened after the hair loss when it grew back. You can take the curl out of your hair by doing the following though:

Use a silicon shampoo - like pantene for straight hair or a straightening hair milk, and use a good rich conditioner (your hair will become nice and shiny this way)
brush your hair out while it`s drying or use a blowdryer, without a diffusor - don`t scrunch or anything, just comb or brush your hair while it`s drying.
Unless you`ve got really resistent curls that should work. Don`t use anything harsh or chemical on your hair.
If you have longer hair, you can plait it or bind it back to keep it straight while drying.

Hope that works out for you :-)

Siobhan
