Hi everyone,
I`m new here so forgive me if I have redundant questions.
I cut the perm out of my hair about 3 years ago to 1 inch of hair. I have not put any chemicals (dyes, perms, etc.) in my hair since.
I wear my hair in a curly pom-pom on the top of my head from April to September and I wear it straight from the middle of September until the rainy season.
My hair is now level with my shoulder blades (about 2 inches above bra strap). It takes me 2 hours to style my hair everytime I wash my it, which is once a week. I wash my hair with either White Rain, Creme of Nature or Physique. I condition with the same brands. I put on my heat cap with the conditioner for about 20 to 30 minutes. I rinse and blow dry, then hot curl. I only do the blow dry and hot curl once a week since both are very damaging to Black hair.
I am considering getting a texturizer in my hair to relax the natural curls a bit. I would love to wear my hair in it`s natural state, but the curls are so tight, (about the size of a drinking straw). I tried to wear it this way and it looked cute for about an hour then it looked a mess afterwards. It shrunk down to about 3 or 4 inches and looked like a half afro, half gheri curl.
Does anyone here have a texturizer? And if so, what is the best brand out there that won`t dry out my hair.

Life is like a roller coaster...enjoy the ride.
