Quite interesting. I’m learning a lot about my hair too. I stopped perming my hair 2 years ago. I didn’t want to do a big chop so little by little I trimmed the straight ends. I have 4c hair and my curls are tight. I have great shrinkage. I use Cantu as well and now enjoy trying out different oils. I recently learned how to do braids so I’m enjoying trying different protective styles.
