Default Trying to find my way through different textures

Hello I have 3b w/ a mix of 3c...... i think. My hair has one portion that is more loose and sleek and another that is more tight and frizzy. I want my hair to be one texture preferably the more sleek and loose portion. I've been natural for about 3 years now I don't know if there are factors in play here because someone did torch my hair one time which it is still healing from that. and I occasionally get it straighten and ends clipped. the products that I use are One n Only argan(in the brown bottle)
conditioner only left off the shampoo and B&B oil Moisturizer w/ castor oil n Aloe(inthe pink and white bottle) which leaves some build up I also use ion repair solutions conditioner.
I am seeking advice and or help for my confused hair if you know any products that will loosen my curl pattern w/ out chemical treatments (perms texturizers ect). Please fell free to fill me in and help it to be that one good texture that i prefer PLEASE HELP!!!!

Your texture may even out as your hair gets healthier. It sounds like some of your hair is showing more damage than other parts. Continued straightening will only slow the recovery of the damaged areas. You may also want to keep tabs on your products. One 'n Only products usually are full of 'cones. That will also cause build-up and keep much needed moisture from getting into your hair. I'm not sure about the other products you listed. Have you been doing deep treatments? If your hair is too "torched", you may need to wait for it to grow out.

Great advice, mhen.

Welcome, toshy1! We're glad to have you here.
You probably just need to be patient, and really condition your hair to try to nurse it back to health.
