Loosen afro curls?

Come back OP and tell us how your hair turned out. This is a little late, but I would suggest. 1st option:  washing your hair with a sulfate free shampoo/conditioner, rinse out with cold water for at least 2 minutes. Apply a curling product like gel or activator. Do not comb, just rub entire head with the palms of your hands in a circle. You hair should coil/curl up. Afro hair is curly hair. The curls just need to be conditioned well. 2nd option: find a professional stylist who knows how to do good texturizers. With a texturizer it is a matter of proper timing to achieve the curl/coil pattern. If you choose to do it yourself (which I do not recommend) the S-curl texturizer is a good one to use. I used that on my boyfriends hair when I was a teenager, and it looked really good.

 

I am a weave loving womon foremost, however this comes up often. I have done a texlax on mine and it worked great. I useduction a large comb and followed the directions. It will make the curls more loose. I loved it. It has been some time since and my hair grew a lot since but it is possible. I did it because I wanted my curl without fighting a comb. There were less tanglea but the pattern was managable. I could pony my hair quickly, and it would lay down for the pony. My hair before sits at least a quarter inch whereas I have a large bump due to my natural fighting to not be restrained. Up to you but you can still rock a fro either way. I don't see it as changing my race   anymore than those who relax theirs. I kept my fro though. No judgement here.
