My attempt at the "relaxed look" on natural hair went wrong on two attempts. My ends looked horrible and my hair wouldn't lay down. It looked like a bad blow out. I have a Chi but don't like it at all. I will be not be attempting to straighten my hair again for a long time. But just to give you an idea of how my hair has grown here's a pic of my Valentines Day hair, flat ironed and curled.
Smiles,
