So I have really curly hair, but i relaxed it like last year so now my ends are straight while the other half is curly. i also have short hair like up to my collar bone when its straight. What should i do ? its killing me cause its summer, & i don't want to keep on straightening it.
I think you could leave it natural, or when blow drying, use a paddle brush. This should not be as harsh as straightening it all the time and when blow drying a bit of hair with the paddle brush, finish it with a cool shot and some setting serum/hairspray for it to stay. Hope this helps :)
The first question is do you plan on growing out your relaxer? The next question is have you considered cutting off the relaxed area? To style your hair you and do a flexi rod set to blend in the two textures. If you wash n set hair at night it should be ready by morning with no heat required. Also make sure that you are conditioning your hair properly since the area where your natural and relaxed hair is extreamly frigil. I hope this helps. Until next time condition, condition, condition w lots of protective styles.

cut off the straight ends, they already chemically altered.
