I am so glad i read this, this inbetween of straight and curly hair is not fun. Im trying to enjoy trying out samples but it's not fun when your hair turns out like a puffball.
So tempted to breakout the CHI and start frying again lol.
So far the only thing that has worked for me is
KCKT with
KCCC. or Bouncy Cream. When i straightened i had to wash my hair once a week only. Now if i get second day hair it's a miracle. Not to mention all the money i am spending trying to find good products. I guess it's an adjustment period after straightening for over 10 years. Patience, Patience.
Still, my hair does look great when i have the right things in it, just not used to having to wash everyday.
