Welcome, CurlyGirl. I believe we have the same hair type. I am relaxed and like Khalesta wear my hair curly on most days to avoid battling the weather.
When I wear my hair straight I wrap it at night with a lot of KeraCare hair lotion. In the morning I apply a bit more to smooth it out. I want to get my hands on AlfaParf's Smoothing Gel to get it under control.

When I figure that out I will bottle it and turn myself into a millionaire
I usually wear my hair curly too but lately I've been doing rollersets then curling it and I like the results. Have you tried the ceramic appliances? I have the chi curling iron and I like it.

I just stopped fighting it and wear my hair curly in warm/hot/humid months. I got tired of looking like a frizz ball when I walked out of the house

You can add a little curl wax. It kept my hair straight in 80 degree weather. I didn't like the way it weighed the hair down though.

Okay, so Miss Scarlet I don't have curly hair.. so now what?
Glamazon, what is curl wax? Are you speaking of the one that is thick and red that used to be used while flat ironing.

I don't know if it will be of any use in hot humid weather, but since I have been using shikakai/amla, my hair has been remarkable.
I have been out on the rain numerous times and my hair never reverted
! I do however spray on a leave-in and then lightly and I stress lightly add some serum and then proceed to aa air dried ponytail roller set
(5 pony tails). Once dry, I used to flat iron the roots. I haven't had to do that lately either
. I have been transitioning, so there is a lot that could have reverted in the rain 
.
Before my current regimen, if I went out into the rain, you could pretty much call it a day, so to speak. Now I only flat iron the roots if I want it to look absolutely bone straight.

No. I used the Elasta QP one. It's purple. It's similar to the old Marcel wax but not as thick and heavy. I just used a tiny bit on each section (on dry hair) before I flat ironed. I had gotten my hair flat ironed at the salon the night before and it puffed as soon as I got outside. When I came home I re flat ironed it myself with the curl wax. It stayed straight after that.
I also used it when I used to stretch my relaxers and it kept my roots straight until I washed my hair again. My hair is fine so the slightest bit of grease, oil, wax, anything will pretty much weigh it down.

Hi ballerina, I would just like to know how you have been using the shikakai/amla. Do you use it the way Candy c uses it? cause I just find it all so complicated and when i put some amla in my hair it came out kinda dry.
