I'm going try put this as simple as possible -I'm trying to find out if my child hair is naturally curly Becuase right now it's Afro.
She is 13 now and is mixed race .
When she was born she had really curly hair up until the age of 4 .
Once she turned 4 I started canrowing her hair as she started going school and I didn't want her to catch head lice or anything of a sort .
When I say I never left her hair out I never ,eve ,ever did .so we rarely saw her natural hair .
Eveytime I took out the canrows to do new ones I started to realise her curls started to go .but I will continued doing the canrows .
At age 6 all her curls were gone completely .  and had Afro hair but we never realised it or bothers as it was always done up for many reason like growth.
Her hair at age 13 is about little bit last her shoulders but it ust to be much much longer
At age 10 I relaxed her hair as she always wanted soft straight hair for some reason . But I still canrowed her hair .at this point her hair was quite alot past her shoulders .
Now at age 11 she started to take care of her hair her self . And never got it braided or anything or even canrowed AND SHE STRAITENED IT ALL THE Time for about 4 months .
I told her to stop it as it would damage her hair even if she still used hear protections .
However now she has straightens her hair for about 5 months now and it's always braided now
My whole point is is her support to be Afro.
Can I get get her curls back or is her actually hair Afro .maybe the 4 years curls was temporary ?
And when I wash her hair it goes curly .
pic shows when it's dry (it's not her but its exactly the same hair type )
The 2 and 3 picture is when it's wet with no twist
Please tell me anything you know I'm lost and thank you so much xxx
