it was more manageable and stuff, but went curly again after i took a shower.





How can i make the curls less tight without straightning?I have curly hair, help!?
Go for a shorter hair style is one way. Otherwise carry on using the straightnersI have curly hair, help!?
if you have fairly healthy hair then you could chemically straighten it, but if your hair is unhealthy then no way do you want to put chemicals of any sort on your hair.
you cant because thats your natural curl pattern..unless CHEMICALS..got involved
it looks kinda the same, but not really.





Use gel or cut ur hair..
