So as a child I did not actually begin really growing significant amounts of hair til I was almost 3, and once it did start growing, it just kind of exploded with thick curls. And I kept those bouncy curls all through childhood and teenagehood. Well in high school I NEVER wore my hair curly. I straightened it every day, and eventually got a perm to straighten my hair. Now about 7 years since the perm I'm 23 and my curls are nonexistent. I just kind of have a frizzy wave to my hair.

(I'm white btw in case that changes anything)

Is there any way to bring my curls back to life? I didn't think hair texture could completely change, but I guess I was wrong.

Advice?
