Okay so, my question in short is, if your hair is really curly when wet, is there any way to keep those curls when the hair has dried?
And the long form:
I used to have a 1a hair until around the end of my teenage years. Then I got a reeeeally drastic perm, as small and tight curl as you can get. Then I kept that rat's nest on my head for a while until it pretty much had to be shaved away. After that my hair has had a wave. It has been about... 12 years since that shave, I would say? In that time my hair hasn't changed that much when dry. But the wet state has changed. A LOT. Especially in this last year. My wet hair has gone from spiky straight to really curly. Cork screw curly at times. But it always straightens out when it dries. It still has some wave but it's generally straight when dry. So what's that about? And is there any way to keep those curls?
My hair is really fine, hennaed, and I do (conditioner to protect the ends when I remember)-shampoo-coconut oil routine, if that helps.
