Basically I have always had a very slight wave to my hair with poof/frizz, i was googling around a little and saw about the curly girl method (ordered the book - thought i may as well give it a go). This is my natural hair (greasy though so the frizz doesn't show and it's a little flat - the kink by my ears if from a bobble)...
Sorry to those on that post i didn't reply to - i asked for emails when i got replies and never got any so didn't realise

I know this one isn't very clear but that's my 100% natural hair (maybe slightly damp from rain as it does look a little flat)

This is just after dying my hair (not doing that anymore but it's only been about 2 months or so)

The last two pictures were also taken when i used to use my hair dryer on warm/hot settings. I've used a dryer once in 5 weeks and haven't missed it at all so think i'm going to try and not use it as minus the wave my hair seems healthier.
My hair does also go wavy if i spritz with water (doing once or twice a day now trying to get moisture back) but not if it's soaking, and it also goes wavy if i use coconut oil which is the main thing that made me think i may be a wavy.
Both my parents and 3 or my grandparents also have tight curls whereas my other one has very thin stringy hair (i evidently don't)
Are the root stimulator range any good for curly girl method? I can't find an ingredient list. Last night i used Naked but it has made my hair go horrible hence why i haven't put new pictures up, i have began to CO wash with herbal essences tousle me softly which my hair seems to like but it definately prefer Alberto Balsam tea tree tingle (conditioner doesn't have sulfates in - to my knowledge although it's riddled with cones which i don't have a problem with.
Anyway, sorry to ramble on a lot haha, has anyone got any tips to try and bring out the best of my hair? I'm sure this isn't it as i've spent many years using a blow dryer on hot, dying it for 8 years and curling it like mad in my early teens without heat protectant.
Thank you!!! :D
p.s. in the first pic, my hair dryer is on the box as that's where i usually keep it - my sister also uses it a lot so it's handy just to leave it out especially as my room is so small (hence the mess!)
