My last relaxer was 6 weeks ago. My hair is currently shoulder length and grows well with a relaxer. Since I've had a relaxer for the last 25 years (I'm only 37), I wanted to see my hair in it's natural state. I've been reading suggestions from LHCF for the last year and have tried some of the suggestions. I've been using Evoo, castor oil, coconut oil, glycerin, etc and I love the way my new growth feels much softer than usual. I've been using the flat iron to straighten my new growth (as a newbie, I'm limited with hair styles since I'm only used to styling straight hair). However, my actual hair feels very stiff. I have no body to my hair at all. I can deal with the "poofiness" of my new growth, but I really don't like lifeless and limp hair. I'm wondering if natural is for me or should I consider using a texturizer. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
