Dear CurlySuzy: Is there a product that will keep my hair from shrinking up so much and loosen some of the curl?

Dear Brenda: Curl Junkie Curl Assurance Aloe Fix Hair Styling Gel. Might want to use this with after a lot of conditioning. It does not dry your hair out; the product just works best on really moisturized curls.

Baka Beautiful Natural-Laxer. Lots of people like this to stop the shrinkage and tightness. It is a little complicated to use but worth it. It is not a relaxer.

Miss Jessie’s Stretch Silkening Creme. Works best if you follow instructions just as it states.
