I think I'm ready to wear my hair curly/kinky 80+% of the time. (I imagine I will straighten it on very special occasions, such as for weddings, Valentine's Day, etc.)

RosieCurlyCrown is my inspiration.

Has anyone else taken this step . . . moving from MAINLY wearing your natural hair straightened to committing to hardly ever flat ironing? (I will be wearing stretched styles such as twist outs, flexi rod sets, etc.)
What led you to make this choice?​
How is it...​

Last night I spritzed my hair Annabelles Perfect Blends Daily refresher on dry hair and then sealed/twisted with Sarenzo Bath Body and Hair Frosting. My hair was ultra silky last night and today feels plush and cushy,

I'll be currently washing in a few so I'll be back with details on wash day.

So I will be continuing frequent protein use in the future. If you would like to join, answer the following and if you are focused on growth, perhaps a starting pic.
