If you've checked my FAQs, you know I have naturally curly hair. If you've seen my Pinterest pins lately, you can see that I'm infatuated with amazing curly/natural hair.
My coworker asked me this week if I relax my hair. Answer is, no. She asked why I didn't wear it curly, and I told her that my curls aren't that great. [insert pouty face]

When I do attempt to wear it curly, as I did today, it is normally slightly wavy and really limp. I know that washing my hair, after it's been straight for a while will not hold any type of curl. I washed my hair twice in two days. I used only conditioner the second time, which was this morning.
I'm going to try to stick with it to get it back. Cross your fingers and say a prayer that some natural curl

Just give it some time!
I've used a diffuser before, and I looked like Jessie Spano from Saved by the Bell, haha.

I'm going to stick with it and see what it's like next week. No flat ironing.
