If you are use to having textured or other forms of chemical perms put on your hair, then the chances of knowing what your true hair type is, is almost impossible. You will only be able to see what your real hair type is once you take the step to grow it out completely. This does take a large some of guts and will power.
For a long time I used relaxers to straighten my naturally curly hair and this has been all I knew since a young age. As a matter of fact, when my hair started growing out just a little bit, I would relax the new growths. Little did I know of all the damage and trauma I was inflicting on my poor locks. Split ends, extreme dryness and loads of brakeage were some of the scary results I have experienced.
My turning point came at a time I no longer could afford to straighten my hair and I ended up having to let it all grow out. That however, is a story for another time. For now, I just want to share with all my readers how happy I am to be my natural-self.
