Was your hair naturaly curly or did you have it permed? Also, have you started taking any kind of new medication? If so, certain ones can/will have an effect on your hair.

nope it was natural so that why im wondering wat happened i just reliezed i also started using its a 10 leave in can that cause it?

What exactly do you mean by "it turned to waves"? Do you mean that after washing and drying your hair it was no longer as curly as before? Or do you mean the curl's fallen out of it during the last couple of days without it having been washed?

i mean that after washing and drying my hair it was no longer as curly as before...

[Aro]

Do you use a setting product, and how do you dry your hair?

[shortnsweet0821]

when i get outta the shower i dry my hair with a micro fiber towel than i just started putting its a 10 leave in in my hair and then i let it air dry

[Aro]

You put it's 10 on and comb it through after drying with a micro fiber towel? And you started doing this just before you noticed your hair losing its curl? Also, what curl type do you have?

[shortnsweet0821]

i dont comb out my curls and a lil after and i have loose wavy curls now there just wavs :/ no curl at all

I was, as you're probably aware, attempting to figure out if maybe some habit you have could be an issue. Things like using a normal towel, combing your hair while drying, touching your hair too much while drying, all that kind of thing. I have seen some curly's say that It's 10 weights down their curls or that they experience build-up, which can cause them to straighten out or become less defined. But, you say you began using it after you noticed this issue, so that becomes a moot point. The only other things I can think of, at the moment, is that you might be getting build-up from something else and the shampoo you switched to isn't strong enough to take it out.

As for getting your curl back to where you want it. You could try scrunching a curl mousse through your hair before drying, or using a defuser.

On a side note, I now get why you had problems with particular ingredients in shampoos.

I heard that hair has some kinda memory and people that straighten their hair too much can make your natural hair go straight. Also I notice for me that when my hair is damaged that i lose curl. Sometimes it depends on the weather or products I'm using.If my hair starts acting up and I use a clarifying shampoo to get the build up out. I notice that if I wear it curly a lot for months at a time with not using any heat just natural that all my natural curl starts to look better. Have you ever use a defuser with your blowdryer? My SIL has just wavy hair and her hair blow dries straight. But we used the defuser on her and OMG it made her hair so curler, curls she never knew she had. So now she styles her hair with that. Also if you're hair is getting long it might be weighing down the curls? IDK. Maybe try using shampoo & conditioner for curly hair and a styling cream?

imma try a clearifying shampoo to see if i have build up and lay off the its a 10 and see how it goes
